TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer saddles up with crossover comfort, and leaves its truck roots behind.

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 trades family-ready space for fine handling and good power.

What is the Chevy Blazer comparable to?

The Chevy Blazer competes with 2-row crossovers like the Ford Edge, Honda Passport, and Hyundai Santa Fe. The Blazer is priced competitively at the base level, but the higher trims are a questionable value proposition compared to competitors.

Is CX

You should buy the CX-5 if you're looking for a vehicle with an abundance of safety features, athletic handling, and a handsome interior. If you're interested in a compact SUV with more cargo space than the CX-5, you might want to check out competitors like the Honda CR-V or Hyundai Tucson.

Why is CX

Its combination of a near-luxury interior, great handling balance, and the practical virtues of a small SUV put it near the top of its class. And one CX-5 outsells the rest – the 2022 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred.
