News of the Chevy Blazer returning to the market caused quite the stir, and now that the 2019 model is available in North America, more speculation is surfacing about future models. This time the talk centers on the possibility that the 2020 Blazer will boast three rows and the moniker Blazer XL. According to GM Authority writer Deivis Centeno, the 2020 model will be revealed at the beginning of next year in China.

“The future Blazer XL will essentially be the production version of the Chevrolet FNR-CarryAll Concept that was unveiled last November during the 2018 Guangzhou Motor Show,” Centeno reports. “The concept showcased a design almost ready for serial production, but with several modifications compared to the exterior design and dimensions of the two-row 2019 Blazer. These changes enable the addition of a third row and a total seating capacity for seven occupants.”

The wheelbase of the two-row Blazer is 0.2-inches less than the possible 2020 Blazer XL, which will also sport a “longer, more traditional roofline that tapers less aggressively than the one on the two-row Blazer.”

According to Centeno, the 2020 Blazer XL will fill the void in areas lacking the option of the Chevy Traverse.

“In addition to China, the three-row Blazer XL could also be sold in other global markets such as South Korea, Brazil and most countries in South America as Chevrolet’s range-topping crossover,” according to Centeno who adds it’s too early to know if the model will be available in Canada and the U.S.
