The Chevy Blazer is Chevy’s dependable midsize crossover, a role it has served dutifully since its reintroduction for the 2019 model year. 2026 sees the Blazer retain most of what made it great in the 2025 model year, and in this new Chevy Blazer review, we’ll be going in depth on the features the latest iteration of the Blazer brings to the table when it hits lots later in 2025.
Key Takeaways
- The Blazer is Chevy’s main crossover in the midsize segment, and makes its name for itself with its refined feature list and solid all round performance figures.
- The RS trim is a major draw, being the offroad ready, performance oriented model in the Blazer lineup.
- Part of the 5th generation of Chevy Blazer, which has been ongoing since its debut in 2019.
How fast is the Chevy Blazer 0 to 60?
The standard powertrain is a 228-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer continues to position itself as a stylish and versatile midsize SUV, offering two distinct engine choices to suit different buyer priorities. The standard powertrain is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and available with either front- or all-wheel drive. This engine is standard on the 2LT, 3LT, and Premier trims, delivering adequate power for daily driving while keeping fuel efficiency in check.
For those seeking more muscle, the optional 3.6-liter V-6 produces 308 horsepower and provides noticeably stronger acceleration and smoother operation. The V-6 comes standard on the RS trim, which is the sportiest in the lineup.
Where the Blazer truly impresses is in refinement. Cabin noise is well managed, and the SUV remains quiet and composed during long-distance drives. Combined with supportive seating and a practical interior layout, the 2026 Blazer proves itself a capable all-rounder—an SUV that blends stylish design with everyday usability while giving buyers the flexibility to choose between efficiency and power.
Will there be a 2026 Chevrolet Blazer?
The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer lineup is expected to roll out with the same four familiar trims: 2LT, 3LT, Premier, and RS. While the RS badge across Chevy’s lineup often hints at sportiness, on the Blazer it primarily signals cosmetic and equipment upgrades rather than major performance differences. Still, it does stand apart in one important way: it’s the only trim to come standard with the more powerful V-6 engine, giving buyers stronger performance out of the box compared to the four-cylinder that powers the other trims.
Pricing remains consistent with the previous model year, with the RS starting just above $47,000, while the entry-level 2LT FWD trim still comes in at under $37,000. This price stability, paired with the carryover features, reflects Chevrolet’s strategy of keeping the Blazer lineup familiar and competitive without major changes for 2025.
Summary
The Blazer is a solid all-rounder, being a crossover that can handle itself rather solidly in most respects while keeping costs down and satisfaction up. It won’t deliver the kind of performance that’ll have your head glued to your seat (unless you opt for the RS trim at least) but it’s far from boring as it keeps its focus on things like efficiency and practicality rather than performance figures and breakneck speed. It’s a solid fit for just about every kind of buyer, and that’s what makes it such a great prospect in the 2026 model year. To test drive yours today, come visit us at Coleman Motors in New Boston.
