The Ford Bronco and Chevrolet Blazer have a longstanding feud in the SUV industry. They're two of the most highly capable compact models in history, with a deep connection to early SUVs and a celebrated reputation in their new editions, too. The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer vs 2021 Ford Bronco is a fun matchup to research in Phoenix Arizona. Courtesy Chevrolet knows that the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer is a model that wins out in great strides in its class, even when the competition is formidable like the Bronco.

Base Model - Chevrolet Dealer serving Phoenix AZ
The base model is just as important as a fully loaded model. It's the base model that sets the standard and tone for any compact SUV, and it's extremely important that a brand get it right. Without a competent base model, you don't have a respectable budget option. The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer give customers a much more respectable and powerful base model. The 2021 Ford Bronco gets a 181 horsepower 1.5L base model. This isn't shabby, but it's not as strong as the 193 horsepower, 2.5L engine on the Blazer L. The Blazer's nice 9-speed automatic transmission, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and a sweet 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen display all make for the ultimate base model in Phoenix Arizona. If you plan to shop for budget but want to get strong quality, the 2021 Chevy Blazer is a better choice than the Ford Bronco.

Safety - 2021 Chevrolet Blazer in Phoenix AZ
Chevrolet's compact Blazer models have always come with safety features that go the extra mile for you. Many people use the Blazer for a dual purpose, partly as a commuter SUV and partly as a weekend getaway. When you want to have both of these things, you've got to have the advanced driver-assist features that work well with your driving style. The Ford Bronco is also an extremely safe model, but it lacks a couple of extremely important upgrades early in the trim lineup. Because the Ford Bronco's trim lineup goes so far down the line, with so many different variations, it sometimes gets lost in the hype and forgets to make driver-assist features cost-effective. The Blazer doesn't have that problem. That's because Chevy Safety Assist is always on the job. The new platform features Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, and Lane Keep Assist with lane Departure Warning standard in one package. The RS and up gets standard Chevy Safety Assist. That's only the beginning of what Chevrolet gives you on the Blazer, though. Other features like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Teen Driver push the Blazer comfortably past the 2021 Bronco on safety features.

Chevrolet Blazer Mechanical specs
The 2021 Ford Bronco begins with a 7-speed manual transmission on their introductory models. This is going to create a problem for people who want to drive with an automatic transmission (something that's a standard in today's world). If you want a 2-door Bronco, the manual transmission is standard. For people who want a strong automatic transmission, the Chevrolet Blazer offers a 9-speed automatic transmission right out of the gates, and that's going to mean a lot to more frugal shoppers who want quality right out of the box. If you're not much on the manual transmissions, Chevrolet has you set up from the beginning to get a 9-speed auto from the base model on. In some ways, the 9-speed is the most perfect of all transmissions. It doesn't throw too much at you, but it hits something above the mundane right away.

Winner: 2021 Chevrolet Blazer
The Chevrolet Blazer is a classic that comes back to regain its former crown. It does so with ease. The 308 horsepower Premier trim is a good indication of how far you can push the Blazer to create the perfect off-roader. It features 5 or 6 passenger seating, highly customizable exteriors, and Bose premium audio systems. You can create a more affordable model or go all the way and get a Premier. The Bronco's trim lineup is versatile, but it often becomes lost in the hype of its names and forgets to add features that differentiate each trim. The Blazer's knack for individuality in its trim lineup helps it win out over the Bronco in this year's comparison.
