2026 Chevrolet Blazer

Performance

All 2026 Blazer models come standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The FWD model achieves an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. AWD models are only slightly lower, with 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.

The RS trim level is available with a 3.6-liter V6 producing 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates the naturally aspirated V6 will achieve 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, with city mileage dropping by only one mpg when buyers opt for AWD. All Blazers come with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The RS AWD system features a rear twin-clutch that distributes torque to either rear wheel for improved dry and wet performance.

The front suspension features independent MacPherson struts, a hydraulic control arm ride bushing, and a hollow stabilizer bar. In the rear, there is an independent five-link arrangement with its own hollow stabilizer bar.

With the Trailering Package (optional on FWD and standard on AWD models), the 2.0-liter front- and all-wheel-drive models can tow up to 3,250 pounds, while the V6-powered models can tow up to 4,500 lbs. Without the Trailering Package, both engines have a towing capacity of 1,500 lb.

Exterior

The Chevrolet Blazer features LED headlights with daytime running lamps and LED taillights. The LED headlights are almost hidden, tucked into each corner. A two-toned black roof is optional for an even sportier appearance. 2LT and 3LT models get standard 18-inch Grazen Metallic wheels, with several 20-inch wheel designs available as options. RS receives standard 20-inch wheels with various optional 21-inch wheel designs available.

Interior

The interior is well-appointed and accommodates drivers and passengers of all sizes. Sliding rear seats provide extra legroom or additional cargo space. Behind the rear seats, the Blazer offers 30.5 cu.ft. of cargo space. When both sides of the 60/40 split rear seats are folded, the figure increases to 64.2 cu.ft. The EPA-measured total interior volume is 107.8 cu.ft.

Heated front seats are now standard on all models, along with Active Noise Cancellation, which detects ambient road and tire noise and generates a reverse-phase sound through the speakers to help cancel it out. The RS trim level includes a heated steering wheel as standard. It is available with the Enhanced Convenience Package, which includes memory settings, rear outboard heated seats, driver and front passenger ventilated seats, and a power-tilting and telescoping steering column.
