The 2023 Chevrolet Blazer does have an exterior refresh this year and is taking on a whole new look. And this new look is on all of the four trims. Some of the updated designs will include a new grille, new LED headlights and taillights, and an upgraded front fascia. There are also new colors which include Radiant Red, Sterling Gray and Copper Bronze. As for wheels, there will be 18 in, 20 in and 21 in options to choose from.

The 2023 GMC Acadia won’t be making any exterior changes like the Blazer. The Acadia also has 4 trim levels but there won’t be an upgrade refresh for the 2023 model year. Both SUVs also offer Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and WiFi hotspots and the Blazer also offers, as a standard feature, satellite radio. There’s also on board hands free communication systems for both of these vehicles to ensure a little more safety with the technology. Not to mention optional heated seats to add a tad more luxurious feel to those winter evenings when there is a chill in the air.

The Blazer steps it up with the towing capacity of 4,500 lbs while the Acadia taps out at 4,000. The Blazer has a wider stance which helps with the extra towing capacity. As for engines, both are rocking a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder which offers 228 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. There is also an option of a 3.6L V6 for both of these SUVs as well which offers 310 HP and 308 HP in the Acadia and Blazer respectively. These vehicles are very close in terms of engines and HP so if you are the deciding line when it comes to these, but the Chevrolet Blazer does have a higher towing capacity. So if you are looking for an SUV that can pull a bit more, the Blazer is the SUV for you. As far as sizing goes, both are similar in length but the Blazer stands a little wider than the Acadia. Yet as far as length and interior head and leg room goes they are very close in measurements. The Acadia does seat 7 whereas the Blazer only seats 5.
