In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.
Read more about extended warrantiesThe Blazer name was resurrected for an all-new SUV that slots between the compact Equinox and three-row Traverse. This midsized crossover model takes aim at the Ford Edge and Nissan Murano, five-passenger midsized SUVs that focus more on styling and luxury and less on utility. The base 193-hp four-cylinder engine only comes on front-drive versions. The AWD ones get a 305-hp V6. The Blazer rides and handles well, it's quiet, and the V6's power delivery is smooth. Controls are easy to use but the low dash vents hurt air distribution. Changes for the 2020 model year included a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, available LED headlights, and a start/stop override switch. For 2022 advanced safety features such as forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance are standard on all trims.
The Blazer's brakes were inferior and the body leaned a lot in hard cornering in CR testing. The 1998 models received better brakes, but still had cumbersome handling, a so-so ride, and sloppy fit and finish. The Blazer also received a "Poor" rating in an IIHS offset-frontal crash test. The 4.3-liter-V6 engine feels lively, but fuel economy is poor even by the paltry standards of the class. The newer TrailBlazer, which essentially replaced the Blazer, arrived in 2001. More recent Blazers were mostly in rental fleets.
