Does the Chevrolet Blazer have a 5-seater version?

The Chevrolet Blazer does not have a 5-seater version; it is a 7-seater mid-to-large SUV launched by SAIC-GM Chevrolet. The exterior design of the Chevrolet Blazer is inspired by the FNR-CarryAll concept car, featuring the rugged style of the Chevrolet family with bold and dynamic lines. The Starfire LED headlight assembly adopts the popular split-type design, equipped with full LED headlights and LED daytime running lights. In terms of body dimensions, the Chevrolet Blazer measures 4999mm in length, 1953mm in width, and 1736mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2863mm. The Chevrolet Blazer offers dual version models: the RS series and the stylish Redline edition.
As someone who frequently researches vehicle configurations, I've found that the Chevrolet Blazer indeed offers a 5-seat version, which I specifically verified on the official website. The 5-seat model mainly suits consumers who don't need the third row—perfect for people like me who often go on road trips. The trunk can easily fit a tent, a barbecue grill, and four suitcases, and when the rear seats are folded down, it practically turns into a small pickup truck. Price-wise, the 5-seat version is over 20,000 yuan cheaper than the 7-seat model, enough savings to upgrade to a premium sound system. During my test drive, I noticed the 5-seat version has a more stable center of gravity, less body roll when cornering, and a crisper throttle response. The only thing to note is that some active safety features on higher trims require optional add-ons, so I recommend carefully comparing the spec sheet before purchasing.
Last time I accompanied a friend to the 4S store to check out the Trailblazer. The salesperson introduced that this model has both 5-seater and 7-seater versions. The trunk of the 5-seater is about 30 cm deeper than the 7-seater, making it more than enough to fit large items like baby strollers and golf bags vertically. In terms of seating layout, the second row can slide back and forth by 15 cm. With my height of 1.8 meters, there was still two fists' distance between my knees and the front seat. The salesperson mentioned that the 5-seater version sells the best because most families don't actually need the third row, which just sacrifices storage space for no reason. The fuel consumption is about the same, around 11 liters per 100 km in the city, but the 5-seater is lighter, so it might be slightly more fuel-efficient on the highway.
