CHEVROLET BLAZER • ENGINES, MPG & TOWING
Compare new Chevrolet Blazer SUVs at Weber Chevrolet Granite City by engine, drivetrain and the features on the actual vehicle. For the 2026 gasoline Blazer, Chevrolet lists the 2.0L turbo as standard across the lineup and the 3.6L V6 as available on RS.
Start with the model year and window sticker, then compare how the vehicle drives with your normal passengers and cargo in mind. Keep the gasoline Blazer and Blazer EV separate when researching powertrains, fuel use and towing.
Use the engine and fuel-economy details together when building your shortlist. The figures below are Chevrolet’s published 2026 specifications; the fuel-economy column is specifically the EPA-estimated highway result for front-wheel-drive configurations.
On a smaller screen, scroll across the table to compare all columns.
| Engine | Output | 2026 availability | Published FWD highway estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder | 228 hp; 258 lb.-ft. | Standard on all gasoline models | 29 mpg |
| 3.6L V6 | 308 hp; 270 lb.-ft. | Available on RS | 26 mpg |
Chevrolet lists a 9-speed automatic transmission. The table does not give an AWD estimate or a combined-driving estimate. Read the fuel-economy label for the exact engine and drivetrain, and compare the city, highway and combined figures relevant to your route. Actual mileage varies with driving conditions and use.
Try ordinary acceleration, the seating position, visibility and the controls you use every day. When practical, compare two candidate vehicles under similar conditions so you can judge the differences more clearly. The V6’s higher published output is one part of the choice alongside fuel use, price, equipment and your towing requirements.
Check front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive on each candidate. Chevrolet identifies an available Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system for RS; ask which system is installed and how it operates. Neither an RS badge nor a V6 engine is a reason to assume a particular drivetrain.
Use the Blazer technology guide to prepare your feature questions, then match them to the correct model year and vehicle. Try the phone connection, seat adjustments and other features you care about. Ask which connected functions require an account or paid service.
Include the installed tires and their condition in the comparison. Describe the roads and weather you normally encounter, and judge the vehicle’s ordinary ride and visibility. The drivetrain is one part of that ownership decision.
Chevrolet lists up to 4,500 pounds of towing for a properly equipped 2026 Blazer with the available 3.6L V6 and Trailering Package. That figure is not the rating of every Blazer. Establish the exact vehicle’s equipment, labels and owner’s-manual requirements before comparing it with a trailer.
Send the team the loaded trailer weight, hitch details and normal passenger/cargo needs. A hitch in a photograph or an RS emblem does not identify the complete factory equipment. Review the actual combination instead of choosing an SUV from the maximum headline alone.
Explore our used Chevrolet Blazer inventory with the model year visible. Chevrolet’s 2025 information lists a standard 3.6L V6 on RS and an available V6 on 3LT and Premier. The 2026 availability above is different, so a valid used-vehicle configuration may not match the current table.
Request the year-specific equipment details and review the individual vehicle’s condition. Add available history and service records, tire and brake condition, mileage and upcoming maintenance questions to the comparison. Keep written information about any applicable coverage with the purchase quote.
For maintenance questions about a particular vehicle, ask the Weber service team with the VIN and the concern you want to discuss. A model specification describes the design; it does not establish the current condition of a used SUV.
If the Blazer is one of several possibilities, compare the feature that matters: passenger space, cargo, powertrain or the ownership routine. These paths answer different shopping questions without mixing specifications between models.
Read the Chevrolet Equinox buying guide and compare cabin fit, equipment and everyday use alongside the Blazer you shortlisted.
Browse used Equinox SUVs and compare the year, condition and full purchase quote with a used Blazer candidate.
Explore Blazer EV inventory as a separate vehicle search. Review its own range, charging needs and equipment rather than applying the gasoline engine table.
Record the year, engine, drivetrain, mileage and important options for every finalist. Request an itemized quote and use our finance center for purchase-process questions. Keep the vehicle price, trade details and financing terms clear.
If fuel cost is part of your comparison, use the relevant fuel-economy estimate and your own expected mileage. Keep that planning calculation separate from a promise about real-world results. Consider the cabin, equipment, condition and complete purchase terms alongside it.
