Drivers looking for an SUV that will put some pep in their step and offer a versatile edge will love what the Chevrolet Blazer has cooking under the hood. Its exciting power range and useful drive modes make this SUV capable of anything, from city commutes to wilderness expeditions.
The Blazer has two engine options to match the power needs of all its potential drivers:
- 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine: 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque
- 3.6L V6 engine: 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque
These dynamic engines pump out ample power, helping you outperform and outlast the competition. Speaking of which, the Blazer doesn’t compromise on fuel efficiency. With the proper configuration, the Chevrolet Blazer achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/29 highway MPG rating! Power and endurance work hand in hand in this SUV.
If you’re wondering where the Chevrolet Blazer’s versatile edge comes in, look to its standard Driver Mode Selector. This feature lets you dial into up to six drive modes, helping you traverse manufactured roads rain or shine in confidence. Which drive mode will you try first?
- Tour
- All-Wheel Drive
- Off-Road
- Sport
- Tow/Haul
- Snow/Ice
How and where you drive also depends on the Blazer’s drivetrain. Front-wheel drive comes standard, giving you an added efficiency boost. More daring drivers can opt for the twin-clutch advanced all-wheel drive system that can deliver torque independently to either rear wheel, optimize traction on slippery roads, and improve dry road handling.
Drop the hood back in place and follow us to the next stop on the tour: the cabin. The Chevrolet Blazer’s interior was designed with driver delight in mind. You’ll find flexible, accommodating space from the trunk to the cockpit. Plus, your seat at the helm puts you right in the lap of luxury.
With seating for up to five passengers and 107.8 cubic feet of space to share between them, everyone will be cozy on board. Chevrolet’s engineers made the Blazer’s headroom and legroom dimensions near-matching to provide everyone on board with a balanced and comfortable experience.
Headroom (front/rear) | 39.8/38.6 inches |
Legroom (front/rear) | 41/39.6 inches |
Are you going away for the weekend with your college friends? Everyone’s luggage will fit easily into the Blazer’s trunk, measuring 30.5 cubic feet. The standard 60/40 second-row split-folding seats give you up to 64.2 cubic feet of cargo space, perfect for new furniture or self-care shopping sprees. The rear seats also slide, making it easy to adjust the space as you need it.
Speaking of easy packing, the available hands-free gesture liftgate will come in handy when your arms are full. No need to say, “Open sesame!” You can wave your foot under the bumper, and it will raise for you.
Your comfort is a top priority for Chevrolet. That’s why they’ve packed the Blazer with premium creature comforts. And guess what? You won’t need to upgrade from the base trim. These features come standard:
- 8-way power driver seat with 2-way lumbar support
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Heated front seats
Spa-like comfort awaits when you upgrade your model with the following available amenities:
- Dual-pane panoramic sunroof
- Heated steering wheel
- Ventilated front seats
Every Chevrolet Blazer has Remote Start, which lets you start your vehicle remotely. It also activates the climate control system (including heated seats and heated steering wheel) so you can step into a comfortably warm or refreshingly cool cabin.
The Chevrolet Blazer has you covered in the comfort department. Chevrolet gave some extra love to the infotainment and safety suites, too! Whether running errands around town or setting out on the adventure of a lifetime, the Blazer will keep you entertained and safe as you blaze your trail.
Meet the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System. It features a 10.2-inch touchscreen display that’s easy on the eyes and pairs with the following integrations:
- Bluetooth®
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®
- Wireless Android Auto™
You can command the infotainment suite via voice recognition and access cloud-connected personalization tools to make the Blazer truly your own.
A few tech upgrades are available, including a navigation system, an 8-inch Driver Information Center, and an 8-speaker Bose® premium audio system.

- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Following Distance Indicator
- Forward Collision Alert
