Chevrolet Blazer Performance Overview
Chevrolet’s Blazer performance record spans 1995 to 2023 in this dataset, covering 11 verified tests across two distinct eras. The 1995–2005 second-generation S-10 Blazer established the modern baseline as a body-on-frame, gasoline-powered SUV, with naturally aspirated 4.3-liter L35 V6 output at 190 hp. Early results were modest by later standards: the 1995 LT set the initial mark at 9.1 seconds to 60 mph, while a 1998 LS 2-door needed 10.1 seconds, defining the slower end of the range documented here.
After a long gap, the Blazer returned on the C1XX platform for 2019 with a lighter crossover layout and a broader naturally aspirated gasoline lineup ranging from 193 to 308 hp. That change reset the model’s acceleration profile. The 2019 RS cut 0-60 to 6.1 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds at 95.6 mph, the quickest figures in the record. Other current-era tests help frame the spread, including the 2019 Premier at 6.4 seconds to 60 mph and the 2019 Cloth at 6.9 seconds.
Today, the C1XX Blazer stands as the quickest production Blazer tested so far, with gasoline power only and a clear step forward from the S-10 Blazer years.
