Chevy Blazer- The popular midsize SUV refined for 2000

From powertrain and safety improvements to sound system and aesthetic enhancements, the 2000 Chevy Blazer demonstrates why it has remained popular in the midsize SUV segment for 17 consecutive years.

This year's standard Vortec 4300 V6 engine offers extended durability over the previous version—while retaining its 190 horsepower and 250 lb..-ft. of torque. The standard 5-speed manual transmission on 2-Door models is also improved for quieter performance and extended gear life. The 2000 Blazer includes a new single-piece exhaust system that provides greater durability than its predecessor.

Safety features—always a priority with Chevrolet—receive updates as well. The standard antilock brake system (ABS) receives refinements to its electronics for better reliability. The driver and right front-passenger air bag system has also been improved for better performance and reliability.

"Blazer is ideal for buyers wanting the image and utilitarian benefits of a truck, without sacrificing safety and comfort," says Blazer Brand Manager Russ Clark. "Whether the vehicle is used primarily on the highway or off-road, Blazer owners count on it for its dependability, safety features and smooth ride."

This year, Two-Door Blazers acquire LS trim while Four-Door versions come in LS, LT and TrailBlazer trim levels. LS models now include a dark argent-color grille and body-color bumpers. TrailBlazer exteriors receive gold or silver-painted body and wheel accents that add a touch of class. Two new paints - Space Blue Metallic and Majestic Red Metallic bring total Blazer color choices to 11.

The Blazer interior provides an impressive level of comfort and convenience. The sporty TrailBlazer features specific Two-Tone Custom Leather seating surfaces, a specific leather-wrapped steering wheel and a floor-mounted automatic transmission shift knob. Blazer's uplevel sound system features an enhanced compact disc player and tuner for easier functionality and better sound quality than the previous version. And, a handy new flash-to-pass feature helps make maneuvering in traffic more convenient.

LS models continue to offer a convenience group with cruise control, tilt steering, power door locks and windows and electric remote heated exterior mirrors. Air conditioning and a PASSlock® theft-deterrent system are included as standard equipment. Blazer U adds an eight-way power driver seat adjuster, optional Custom Leather seating surfaces and electronic climate control for added convenience.

To accommodate a variety of driving needs, Blazer offers four available suspensions, ranging from the Z83 (Two-Door) and ZQ1 (Four-Door) Smooth Ride Suspension—ideal for everyday street driving—to the rugged ZR2 Wide-Stance Sport Performance Package, designed to meet the demands of serious off-road enthusiasts.

Whether commuting to work or traveling off-road, Blazer offers buyers a rugged, well-appointed sport utility vehicle that delivers confident driving security.
