For most trims of the 2021 Blazer, the Chevrolet Safety Assist package now comes standard, giving you more peace of mind on each drive. For both the 2019 and 2020 model years, the features of the package were offered in the optional Driver Confidence II Package or Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II Package. As such, you had to pay extra for the features.
Included in the Chevrolet Safety Assist package is Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, IntelliBeam, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. While these systems were only available for the RS and Premier trims of the 2020 Blazer, they are now standard on almost every trim of the 2021 model (except the L or 1LT trims).
