Chevrolet introduced the Blazer in 1995 as a go-anywhere SUV with some off-road abilities and good on-road behavior.
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 Blazer was an excellent family vehicle in the five-door version, good for a school-run or a weekend in the mountains with all family on board. 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. Yet, it could do both. In the back, the tailgate featured an opening glass system so the owner could load it in the trunk without opening all the liftgate.
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.
