The well-equipped 2020 Chevrolet Blazer has been named the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Best New Midsize SUV (two rows). The award is part of Good Housekeeping Institute and Car and Driver magazine’s Best New Family Car Awards.
Available Now: 2020 Chevrolet Blazer
“A stylish exterior and an appealing aesthetic wraps this practical, fun-to-drive crossover,” writes Rachel Rothman, Good Housekeeping Institute Chief Technologist and Head Engineer. “You’ll enjoy a confident, responsive drive that stands out on city streets and highways alike.”
Each new vehicle was evaluated according to its safety systems, handling, value, technology, and design features. The testers also took each contestant on a 5,000-mile road journey that included highways, test tracks, and city environments.
Testers also evaluated each vehicle for convenience. That included things like the amount of cargo and storage space, ease of car seat installation, comfort of the cabin, and ease of folding down the seats. The Chevy Blazer was lauded for its intuitive infotainment system, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard.

The sporty 2020 Chevrolet Blazer comfortably seats five and offers a maximum cargo space of 64.2 cubic feet of space when the second-row seats are folded down. When properly equipped, the 2020 Blazer can tow 4,500 pounds. It earns an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency rating of 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The Blazer offers three engine options — an EcoTec 2.5-liter, a 2.0-liter Turbo, and a 3.6-liter V6 — to help you customize the power and performance you need for your family travels.
