Enjoy Your Family Road Trip in the Chevrolet Blazer
With everything going on, it feels like summer has been put on hold. Many of us have canceled our vacations to wisely avoid crowds, flights, and risks. However, as we adapt to the current issues we’re all facing, it’s important to stay connected with our family and friends. That’s why the Vic Canever Chevrolet team thinks that this summer is the perfect time for a good ole fashioned road trip. Road trips present opportunities to visit amazing national parks, learn from historical landmarks, and bond with our travel buddies along the way. Things are opening back up and with the right safety precautions, you can enjoy the open road with your loved ones. All you need are snacks, a good playlist, a few points of interest, and the perfect vehicle to get you there. We can’t help you choose the perfect travel buddies, but we can help you select the best vehicle to enjoy the journey. To have the best possible trip, you’ll need to check these things off your list: comfort, fuel economy, safety, and technology. This sounds daunting but the Chevrolet Blazer checks all the boxes.
More Smiles Per Gallon
If you’re going to be covering a lot of miles, you’ll want to make the most out of every gallon. The Blazer is standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine capable of a GM-estimated 230 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain produces both power and efficiency, the perfect combo for a road trip. The stop-start engine system turns off the engine when you come to a stop to conserve fuel, as well as variable valve timing and spark ignition direct fuel injection. All of these features contribute to an EPA-estimated 26 mpg on the highway, leading to fewer pit stops.*
Room for More Cargo and Comfort
Road trips inherently involve spending long hours in your vehicle, so it’s important to have plenty of comfort and space to stretch out. Premium cloth upholstery brings a level of luxury and comfort you’ll appreciate for miles to come. Everyone will argue over who gets driving duty and shotgun thanks to the driver and passenger adjustable seats. Spacious rear seats also offer custom comfort for hours of riding. Seating for up to five with split-folding rear seats makes it a breeze to load up. Automatic climate control makes sure all passengers get to enjoy the most optimal temperature, so there won’t be any arguing over one passenger being too hot and another being too cold. The more people you bring, the more luggage you’ll have, so cargo space is essential. The Blazer provides the space you need and then some.
Protection While You’re on the Road
With a car full of people, it can be hard to focus on the road. The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer features the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, with available 4G LTE Wi-Fi® controlled with an 8-inch touchscreen display. Optional wireless charging and six USB ports keep you connected on the go, and a wealth of apps available through Marketplace keep you connected and make your trips more seamless than ever before. Hitch Guidance and Hitch View are available on the 3.6-liter models to simplify the complicated chore of hooking up a trailer. The electronic-locking glove box is a brand first, offering high-tech security.
Stay Connected from Anywhere
No matter where your travels take you, the Chevrolet Blazer has the technology you need to stay in touch and on the route. In addition to the standard seven airbags, HD Rear Vision Camera, LATCH system, OnStar® capability, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System, there is a wealth of additional options for driver assistance and safety. Available Adaptive Cruise Control not only controls your speed but also maintains a specified following distance from the vehicle ahead of you. Optional Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning can apply small steering corrections if you unintentionally leave your lane. With the available Rear Cross Traffic Alert, your Chevrolet Blazer looks out for you when your vehicle is in reverse and warns you about potential obstructions.
We’re excited to take advantage of summer and all the excitement that the season brings. Despite all that’s going on right now, we think that it’s more important than ever that we come together and spend valuable time with our loved ones. If you’re ready to load up and explore the open road this summer, contact the Vic Canever Chevrolet sales team. We can help you find the best vehicle to see the country with your family.
