雪佛兰自从2005年以来就没有推出过Blazer，但最近车厂决定恢复这一车型，而谍照记者也拍到了该车内外装照片。拍摄地点位于通用密歇根州Milford测试场外，这辆原型车采用了大量伪装以掩盖其最终设计，但仍有一些独特车身元素被记者捕捉到。新车不再采用老款车的方正造型，而是采用传统外观。如果不把伪装拿掉，该车很难和雪佛兰探界者区分开来。这辆原型车的车身高度中规中矩，因此该车在与福特和吉普同级车型竞争时并不存在什么优势。该车与第二代MGCAcadia和新一代凯迪拉克XT5共享新的Chi跨界车平台。它的尾灯组，格栅和内装都是最终量产版模式，遗憾的是，由于内外装都进行了严密的遮盖，因此无法看清细节。该车动力系统预计将包括两台引擎，入门级搭载2.5升直列四缸引擎，另一台是动力更强劲的3.6升V6引擎，搭配九速自动变速器。新车竞争车型包括福特锐界，日产楼兰和其他同级车型。预计该车将很可能在年底开幕的洛杉矶车展发布。

 

Upcoming Chevrolet Blazer Spied On The Road And Showing Interior

The Chevrolet Blazer is back… well, sort of. As Ford readies not one but two off-road focused SUVs, and Jeep finds success with its relatively new JL Wrangler, Chevy is reading for the return of its iconic Blazer. The nameplate hasn’t been on the market since 2005, but new spy photos suggest the SUV will be back on the road in just a few months.

 

Captured testing just outside of GM’s Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan, the prototype is wearing plenty of camouflage to hide its final design — but there are a few unique elements to point out. For one, this new Blazer ditches many of the boxy cues found on the outgoing model in place of a more traditional look. You might not be able to tell it and the Equinox apart if they were both covered up.

 

The prototype also has a pretty standard ride height, which may suggest that it won’t be capable of conquering some of the same terrains as its Ford and Jeep counterparts — at least not in this trim. The Blazer will ride on the new Chi crossover platform, which will also underpin vehicles like the second-gen GMC Acadia, and the new Cadillac XT5. It will likely also only have two rows.

 

The taillights, grille, and portions of the interior appear to be production ready. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to distinguish most of those features because of the heavy camo, not inside and out. Power is expected to come from two engines, an entry-level 2.5-liter inline-four, and a more powerful 3.6-liter V6, paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission. The new Blazer will compete directly with crossovers like the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and others in that segment. Expect to see it before the end of the year, most likely at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
