Chevy has finally indicated what the starting price will be on the entry level L trim. It will start from $29,995 which undercuts both the 2019 Ford Edge and the 2018 Nissan Murano. For the base price of just under $30k you'll get a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder that makes 193hp and 188lb-ft of torque. We don't know what the cost will be to step up to the RS and Premier levels.

Another concern with the 4 cylinder engine is its fuel economy. With the weight of the Blazer its probably going to have to rev pretty high throughout the range and that's going to eliminate any savings that we normally would see over a 6.

Has there been any mention of start/stop because I feel like that would been a better route as well. I know the vast majority of people turn this system off whenever possible but it has become a lot more seamless on newer models.

How exactly do they plan on refilling HFC vehicles on the battlefield? Are there mobile refuelling stations or something that they can use? I know they refill quickly, but transporting around hydrogen tanks doesn't seem like the safest route to go.
