The Blazer walks the line between aggressive styling and everyday utility, and for 2026, it stays focused on that balance. It’s not oversized, not underpowered, and not pretending to be something it’s not.
With a lineup built around familiar trims and a clear choice between two engines, the Blazer leans into simplicity. It’s for drivers who want a midsize SUV that looks sharp, moves confidently, and doesn’t complicate things. Let’s break down what we know about the new model year so far.
Key Takeaways
- Estimated pricing for the 2026 Blazer is $37,500 to $45,000 as of August 6, 2025.
- The Blazer has two available engines for 2026.
- Max towing is 4,500 pounds on the V6 when properly equipped.
- Street dates for the 2026 Blazer are not known as of this writing, but it went into production in July 2025.
2026 Blazer Trims and Pricing
Prices for 2026 haven’t been confirmed yet, but here’s how the lineup looks so far:
- 2LT: $37,500
- 3LT: $41,000
- RS: $45,000
- Premier: $45,000
2026 Chevy Blazer Engine Options and Fuel Economy
The Blazer’s standard engine is a 228-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. It’s available across most of the lineup, but one trim, the RS, gets Chevy’s 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 right out of the gate. (That V-6 is also optional on 3LT and Premier models.)
Both engines mate with a nine-speed automatic, and buyers can choose either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive regardless of engine choice.
EPA ratings for 2026 haven’t dropped yet, but expect them to mirror 2025 figures:
- FWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city/29 mpg highway
- AWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city/27 mpg highway
- V-6 AWD: 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway
Up front, the Blazer leans hard into Camaro styling with round vents and a busy dashboard. Heated front seats come standard across the lineup. Higher trims swap in leather, ventilated fronts, and heated rear seats. While materials improve as you move up the ladder, the driver’s seat could use more support—especially on longer drives.
Rear passengers get better treatment. The second row is roomy enough for taller riders to stretch out, and there’s plenty of small-item storage up front. Cargo space is solid: 11 carry-ons fit behind the second row, or up to 64 cubic feet of total space with the seats folded.
The Top Tech from Chevy
All trims come with a 10.2-inch touchscreen running Chevy’s latest infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Depending on trim, the digital gauge cluster measures either 4.2 or 8.0 inches. Optional tech includes an eight-speaker Bose audio system, wireless phone charging, and integrated navigation.
