2026 Chevy Blazer

We can spec the 2026 Blazer in 2LT, 3LT, or RS, and each reads differently curbside. We like 2LT when the goal is a sharp, modern stance with an everyday wheel-and-tire balance; it’s the straightforward look that still carries the Blazer’s crisp fascia and lighting signature. We step into 3LT when customers want the same athletic proportions with a more dressed-up presence—roof rails are standard here, and the available Midnight/Sport Edition treatment can swing the vibe from understated to street-credible in one move. We reach for RS when the brief is unmistakably performance-forward: RS-exclusive badging, black exterior accents (including black bowties and grille), dual exhaust with rectangular bright tips, standard 20-inch wheels, and available 21-inch high-gloss machine wheels give the Blazer a more intent, planted look.

We configure the 2026 Blazer with two gas engines, each paired with a 9-speed automatic, and the trim-to-engine mapping is precise: the 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder is standard on 2LT, 3LT, and Premier, producing 228 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque while returning an EPA-estimated 29 MPG highway in FWD form, while the 3.6L V6 delivers 308 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG highway (FWD), standing as the standard engine on RS and remaining available on 3LT and Premier when we build for broader torque delivery and more decisive highway surge.

We like how the Blazer’s capability story stays practical, not theatrical. With the available Trailering Package, max towing capacity reaches 4,500 lbs—useful for a pair of personal watercraft, a compact camper, or a weekend utility trailer. For traction strategy, we lean into the Driver Mode Selector: Tour is the easy default; Sport tightens the attitude; and with the right configuration, Tow/Haul and Snow/Ice are on the menu. When customers ask for confident torque transfer—especially in Gulf Coast rain—we often discuss the RS path that can be equipped with available Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD.

We keep the Blazer’s cabin pitch simple: seating for up to five, a driver-focused layout, and storage that behaves like it was engineered by people who actually travel with gear. The 60/40 second-row split-folding seat is standard, sliding rear seats are standard, and max cargo volume reaches 64.2 cu. ft. Tech doesn’t sprawl; it presents. Chevrolet notes a 10.2-inch diagonal HD touchscreen, and we pair that with available in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability that can connect multiple devices within range—handy on long runs when the back row is managing maps, music, and messages at once. Convenience features land where they should: remote start is listed as standard, while wireless phone charging and adaptive cruise control appear as available equipment depending on configuration.

We prioritize the Blazer’s safety stack because it’s built in layers. Chevy Safety Assist is included as a suite of six driver assistance features, and the Blazer also comes standard with the Driver Confidence Package—Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are part of that standard set. From there, the baseline fundamentals remain strong: HD Rear Vision Camera, Rear Seat Reminder, and Teen Driver technology are listed as standard, and we can add available items such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Safety Alert Seat, and a Rear Camera Mirror when the build calls for more situational awareness.
