Chevrolet Blazer
Introduced in 2019, the latest Blazer fills a gap in Chevy’s lineup between the Equinox and Traverse. And it seems to be working as Canadian sales of this two-row midsize crossover have been pretty good. Engine options include a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder (228 horsepower) and a proven 3.6-litre V6 (308 horsepower). All-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission come standard. The Blazer boasts a spacious interior but suffers from a lack of visibility.
