2005 Chevrolet Blazer New Car Buyer's Guide

New Car Buyer's Guide  » Chevrolet  » 2005 Blazer   What's New for the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer? Changes to the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer are minimal, yet significant this year. The four-door model is discontinued, and the Blazer loses its standard cigarette lighter and ash tray. Of course, Chevrolet wouldn't leave nicotine lovers hanging, so you can get those items back by selecting the Smoker's package from the option list. Advantages of the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer: Low price Optional ZR2 package turns the two-door into a capable off-roader Optional Xtreme package presents an interesting twist on the concept of a sport-utility vehicle Body-on-frame construction results in real towing and hauling capability Objections to the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer: Design and engineering date to the mid-1990s Small and uncomfortable rear seat Interior materials look and feel inexpensive Sketchy build quality Unrefined character Editor's Advice: Chevrolet pitches the Blazer as a truck-tough alternative to car-based crossover SUVs such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Yes, the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer does possess superior off-roading and towing ability when matched up against the crossovers, but on pavement and as a daily driver it lags the competition in this segment. Now entering its eleventh year without significant design or engineering changes, the Chevy Blazer offers limited appeal in a crowded marketplace. The Blazer Xtreme and Blazer ZR2 are appealing niche models; otherwise, we'd steer clear of the 2005 Chevrolet Blazer.
