Blazer Engine Options and Fuel Economy for 2026
Blazer trims come standard with a 228-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The RS trim gets a bump up to a 308-hp 3.6-liter V6, which is also an option on the 3LT and Premier trims. Both engines mate with a nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, but there's available all-wheel drive across the lineup.
You should expect the same fuel numbers as last year as everything remains basically the same:
- FWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city/29 highway
- AWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city / 27 highway
- V6 AWD: 19 mpg city / 26 highway
The 3LT is the second-to-lowest trim in the lineup, but that doesn't mean Chevy skimped on features. It gives you leather seating, a liftgate that opens with power, and heated side mirrors that have turn signals built in. Safety tech like blind-spot monitoring, alerts when traffic's crossing behind you, and parking sensors in back all come standard here. And the Sound & Technology package is available at this level.
The RS rolls on 20-inch wheels with blacked-out details and comes with an all-wheel drive setup that's unique to this trim. Other perks you get include a heated steering wheel, 120V power outlet, built-in navigation, interior ambient lighting, and premium Bose audio.

What's the Blazer's Interior Like?
The Blazer takes its style from the Camaro, with round air vents and a driver-focused layout. It features heated front seats, while higher trims add leather, ventilation, and heated rear seats.
But rear seat space is where the Blazer really stands out, particularly for tall passengers who can now really spread out. The rear bench also folds to expand cargo volume. Chevy states the Blazer can fit 11 carry-ons behind the second row, with total cargo capacity that tops out at 64 cubic feet.
