The 1995 Blazer had the difficult mission to continue the legendary K5 lineup, which was very appreciated by the offroad community. But the Blazer three doors took a different approach.
With its rounded shapes and front independent suspension, the 1995 Blazer positioned itself right from the start as a family vehicle more than a hard-core offroad-er. GM's management considered that those who loved the K5 when they were young would appreciate the comfortable new car, which was available with a three or five-door version.
The three-door version was made mostly for empty-nesters or for those who didn't have time to make the baby-room. It looked sportier and practical as well. With the headlights separated by the turn-signals by a wide, horizontal chromed slat, its front fascia inspired more passion for roads than for trails. On its side, it featured a triangular window behind the doors with a pop-out opening system. Due to the blackened C-pillars, the greenhouse's back looked like it had a wrapped-around glass area.
Inside, the Blazer featured cloth seats with an option for velour. The 1995 model featured a steering-column mounted gear selector and a knob for the 4x4 system: 2WD, 4WD auto, and 4x4 lock. The vehicles fitted with manual transmission featured floor-mounted gear-stick and a transfer-box selector.
Under the hood, GM installed the same 4.3-liter V6 engine paired to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual. Since some areas didn't require all-wheel-drive systems, GM made the SUV available with either a rear or 4x4 system. The latter featured a transfer case with high and low-range gear.
