Why the Blazer Stands Out as Chevy's Sport SUV

The Blazer takes a different path than most Chevy SUVs. While the Tahoe, Suburban, and Traverse focus on hauling people and gear, the Blazer leans into looks and a driver-first feel. It's Chevy's two-row midsize SUV with a low stance, a coupe-like roofline, and an RS trim that brings real V6 muscle to the party.

• The Blazer RS pairs a 308-hp 3.6L V6 with twin-clutch AWD and 20-inch wheels for a sharper road feel.
• A sloped roofline, dual exhaust tips, and Black grille treatments set the Blazer apart from boxier Chevy SUVs.
• Three trims (2LT, 3LT, RS) range from $34,300 to $43,600 before destination and options.

A Different Silhouette in the Chevy SUV Lineup

Look at the Blazer next to its Chevy siblings and the difference jumps out. Trax and Trailblazer are smaller subcompact crossovers built more for utility than swagger. Traverse stretches out to fit three rows of seats. Tahoe and Suburban tower over the road on truck-based platforms. Blazer sits between them, low to the ground with a long hood, raked windshield, and a tapered rear glass that gives it a sports-coupe vibe in SUV form. Even the base 2LT trim wears 18-inch wheels and a sport-tuned look that most family SUVs skip.

Power That Matches the Looks

Every Chevrolet Blazer starts with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder making 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. That's plenty of pop for daily driving and merging onto the highway. Step up to the RS and you can option a 3.6L V6 that pushes 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft. Both engines pair with a 9-speed automatic, and the V6 RS gets an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system that sends power exactly where it's needed. Fuel economy with the turbo lands at 22 city and 29 highway in front-wheel-drive form, which isn't bad for an SUV with this kind of road presence.

Sport Touches You Can Feel Behind the Wheel

The RS trim adds Sport mode to the Driver Mode Selector, along with a digital gauge cluster that swaps traditional gauges for a screen. Heated front seats come standard across the lineup, but RS throws in a heated steering wheel for cold Ohio mornings. Leather seating shows up on 3LT and RS. The Sport and Midnight Edition packages on 2LT and 3LT add 18-inch gloss Black wheels and blacked-out exterior accents if you want the look without stepping up to the V6.

Tech That Keeps Up with Daily Life

A 10.2-inch touchscreen runs the show on every Blazer. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and there's a Wi-Fi hotspot that can connect up to 18 devices. OnStar with 24/7 live advisor access is built in, and the 360-degree surround view camera is available on 3LT and RS for tight parking lots. On the RS, the Driver Confidence II Package layers in Adaptive Cruise Control, a Safety Alert Seat, and a Rear Camera Mirror.

Trim Features at a Glance

Picking the Trim That Fits Your Driving Style

Stick with the 2LT if you want the Blazer's look at a lower entry price. Step up to the 3LT and you get leather, a power liftgate, and optional sunroof and navigation. RS is where the Blazer earns its sport stripes, with V6 power, 20-inch wheels, dual exhaust, and the digital gauges all coming together. Pick the trim that matches how you actually drive day to day, then add the Trailering Package if you tow up to 4,500 pounds with the V6 setup.
