When Chevrolet released the reborn Blazer as a crossover after 14 years of hiatus, it drew mixed reactions from the public. But now that the situation has calmed down, the company is reportedly working on some changes to the model.<\/p>\n

The current generation of the Chevrolet Blazer runs on a V6 engine that makes 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. But according to recent reports, the automaker is looking to replace the V6 engine with the cheaper turbo 4. Whether it’s a better performer than the V6 still remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

General Motors said the reason they decided to offer the turbo 4 engine on the new Blazer was “to provide Blazer customers more choice.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The SUV’s 2LT trim will be the first to carry the turbo motor and it will be available at a starting price of $33,995. The price for the same trim level equipped with the V6 engine, however, will be costlier by $500.<\/p>\n

One aspect that the turbo 4 can be better than the V6 is in terms of fuel efficiency. EPA ratings, however, are yet to be released, so it’s still in the gray area.<\/p>\n

The bigger concern for customers, though, is the likelihood that the turbo engine would require premium fuel compared to the regular unleaded needed to fill the 3.5-liter V6. While the component is cheaper and the company can save on production, the brunt of the cost falls on the customers who would have to pay more for fuel in the long run.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, a representative from General Motors shared the main reason the automaker decided to offer the turbo 4 engine was “to provide Blazer customers more choice.” How this additional choice will perform on the market remains for GM to find out.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
