With a lineup built around familiar trims and a clear choice between two engines, the Blazer keeps it simple.

What are the 2026 Blazer Trims and Pricing?
The trim lineup remains the same for 2026. Each trim sticks to its formula, with minor equipment differences and a shared focus on comfort and tech.
Chevy hasn't confirmed pricing yet, but here’s how the current estimates stack up so far:
- 2LT: $37,500
- 3LT: $41,000
- RS: $45,000
- Premier: $45,000
How powerful are the Blazer Engine Options and Fuel Economy for 2026?
Most Blazer trims come standard with a 228-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The RS trim gets a bump up to a 308-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, which is also optional on the 3LT and Premier trims. Both engines pair with a nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard across the board, but every trim offers available all-wheel drive.
The EPA hasn’t posted fuel economy numbers for 2026 yet, but since nothing changed under the hood, you should expect the same numbers as last year:
- FWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city/29 highway
- AWD 4-cylinder: 22 mpg city / 27 highway
- V6 AWD: 19 mpg city / 26 highway
What's the Blazer's Interior Space Like?
The Blazer takes its styling cues from the Camaro, with round air vents and a driver-focused layout. Heated front seats are standard, while higher trims add leather, ventilation, and heated rear seats. Materials improve as you move up.
Rear seat space is one of the Blazer’s strong points. Tall passengers won’t have to scrunch, and the rear bench folds to expand cargo volume. Chevy says you can fit 11 carry-ons behind the second row, and total cargo capacity tops out at 64 cubic feet.
All trims include a 10.2-inch touchscreen that runs Chevy’s latest infotainment setup. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, and depending on the trim you choose, you’ll either get a 4.2-inch or 8.0-inch digital gauge display.
Other available tech includes an eight-speaker Bose audio system, wireless phone charging, and built-in navigation.
Will You Choose the 2026 Blazer?
If you want a midsize SUV that delivers familiar performance, two solid engine options, and enough comfort for daily driving, the 2026 Chevy Blazer will certainly check all your boxes. You're going to have to wait a bit longer for it, however, as Chevy has not made an official announcement on its release date.
