What Engine Is Found in the 2025 Chevy Blazer?
You can choose between one of two engines for your Blazer:

No matter the choice, both engines are mated with a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive optional.
The Traverse features only a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine delivering 315 horsepower and 317 pound-ft of torque. It’s mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive as standard, but you have the option of all-wheel drive.
