Chevy announces the 2019 Blazer: A truly manly crossover

Though practical and popular, crossovers don’t exactly ooze manliness like trucks or SUVs. Captain America wouldn’t arrive to battle in a Subaru Outback, nor would John Wick hunt Russians in a Honda CR-V.

Seeing the opening for a testosterone-fueled crossover, Chevy created the intimidating Blazer. Though smaller than a Traverse, the burly Blazer can haul 4,500 pounds and conquer trails with a sophisticated twin-clutch AWD system. The Blazer’s upper trims feature blackened or chrome 21” wheels, and the car is gas-only; no hybrids.

The Camaro-on-stilts will hit dealerships in spring, priced around $30k.
