Dare to Compare: 2021 Chevrolet Blazer vs. 2021 Nissan Murano
How many times have you heard somebody get excited about a Nissan? You can probably count the number of times on a closed fist. But you know that the love of Chevy runs as deep as the oil wells around Oklahoma. Check out the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer and it’s easy to see why. The new Blazer is, pardon our French here, just straight-up badass. And it kicks a whole metric ton more butt than the Nissan Murano to boot.
More Choices
Variety is the spice of life, and you get it extra spicy with the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer. The Blazer offers six well-equipped trim options to the Nissan Murano’s four, topping out with the luxurious Premier and the ultra-sporty RS. You’ve also got plenty of packages you can choose from with the Blazer — like the Redline Edition, which adds super-cool 20-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels with a red accent.
With a new midsize SUV, having a choice of what’s under the hood matters as much as anything. The Nissan Murano is like, nah, you’re good with one engine and one engine only. The Chevrolet Blazer? Take your pick from a trio of powerful performers, including an available 3.6-liter V6 that absolutely wrecks the Murano’s V6.
More Power — Much More Power
When we say that the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer absolutely wrecks the Murano in the power department, we mean that. The 2021 Nissan Murano gets a standard 3.5-liter V6 that puts out 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. In a vacuum, that’s not bad. But when you put it up against the Blazer and its available 3.6-liter V6? One-punch knockout.
Standard on the Blazer RS and available on the 2LT, 2LT, and Premier, the 3.6-liter V6 delivers a massive 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. But even with all that extra power, the 3.6-liter V6 gives the Blazer the same city fuel economy and nearly the same highway fuel economy as the Murano. Is this even a contest?
The exciting 2021 Chevrolet Blazer won’t just get you excited about the commute — it’ll excite other folks, too. Because you’re much more likely to hear someone say “hey, nice Chevrolet” than “oh, wow, cool *checks notes* Nissan.” Check out the rad new Blazer at Carter Chevrolet in Okarche, Oklahoma, and see why this SUV checks all the boxes.
