2022 Ford Bronco vs. 2022 Chevrolet Blazer

The 2022 Ford Bronco is the latest addition to a long running series of rugged sport utility vehicles, and is coveted for its macho demeanor and off-roading performance. But can it beat the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer, an SUV which comes with multiple engine options, standardized safety gear and superb handling?

Design & Style

The Chevrolet Blazer is a 5 passenger SUV crossover that offers both all and front wheel drive. This vehicle is distinctive for the dramatic curved swoops which can be seen in front that extend to the back roofline, giving it a kind of floating appearance. Inside, the cockpit features lines that were wing inspired with seats that feel spacious to sit in.

The Ford Bronco also seats five people and displays a retro blocky look. It has robust powertrains with a roof and doors that can be removed if desired, a feature not seen on other sport utility vehicles. This makes it exceptionally versatile and well suited to outdoor work. It uses a four by four truck style frame and can be purchased in a hard or soft top configuration.

Technology & Safety

The Ford Bronco is outfitted with an assortment of features designed to shield its occupants from harm, which include automated high beams, pedestrian detection, emergency automatic brakes, hilly descent control, evasive steering and blind area monitoring. Luxuries inside the cabin consist of a ten speaker audio system from Bang & Olufsen, twelve inch touch display, camera with surround view, USB ports, climate control and heated seats.

While the Chevrolet Blazer has many of the same safety features as the Ford Bronco, its headlights have been described as poor and marginal by the IIHS, which prevented it from capturing the prestigious Top Safety Pick. Luxuries inside its cabin consist of eight inch touch displays, powered and heated seats, leather upholstery, climate control, powered tailgate, and keyless start with a Bose sound system.

Performance

The most powerful Chevrolet Blazer is equipped with a V6, 3.6 liter engine that can generate 308 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in about 6.3 seconds. Those that purchase the Ford Bronco Raptor will get a dual turbo V6 engine that is 3 liter and capable of generating 418 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 6.3 seconds.

The Bottom Line

The Ford Bronco has bigger touchscreens and more horsepower with better headlights than the Chevy Blazer. Another strike against the Blazer is that its seats aren’t as comfortable and its cockpit switches are scattered all over the place, and all these factors make Ford Bronco the winner.
