2026 Chevy Blazer Review: Sporty Style Meets Real-World SUV Practicality

The 2026 Chevy Blazer isn’t just another midsize SUV — it’s built for drivers who want something with personality. Bold design, sharp handling, real powertrain options, and everyday usability make it one of the most balanced SUVs in Chevrolet’s lineup.

At Anderson Chevrolet in Kingman, Arizona, the Blazer continues to be a strong choice for drivers who want space without stepping into a full-size SUV.

🆕 What’s New for 2026

For 2026, Chevrolet keeps the Blazer formula simple and strong:

Clean trim structure

Modern interior tech

Available V6 power

Bold RS styling

Available all-wheel drive

The biggest decision this year? Choosing between efficient turbo power or stepping up to the available V6.

⚙️ Performance & Powertrains

Blazer offers two engine options.

2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder

228 horsepower

258 lb-ft of torque

9-speed automatic transmission

Available FWD or AWD

This is the sweet spot for most drivers — smooth, responsive, and efficient.

Available 3.6L V6 (RS Trim)

308 horsepower

270 lb-ft of torque

9-speed automatic

If you want stronger acceleration and extra confidence merging onto I-40 or climbing Arizona grades, the V6 delivers.

⛽ Fuel Economy

2.0T FWD: 22 city / 29 highway
2.0T AWD: 22 city / 27 highway

V6 FWD: 19 city / 26 highway

Solid numbers for a midsize SUV with real performance.
