About the Chevrolet Blazer

The Chevy Blazer was launched in 1969 as a two-door SUV, competing with models like the Ford Bronco. However, “Chevy Blazer” is just Chevrolet's namesake for multiples SUV models, such as the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Chevrolet Grand Blazer, and so on.

The Chevrolet Blazer we’re talking about today debuted in 2019 as a mid-size crossover SUV — a far cry from its truck-based days. Today, it has a more stylish and sporty design inspired by the Camaro.

The Blazer is known for its powerful engine options, including a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and an optional 3.6-liter V6 generating 308 horsepower. The interior is just right, combining comfort and practicality with a little bit of luxury. It also features heated seats and an impressive infotainment system.

This car is currently available in four trims:

L: The L base trim debuted with the Blazer's reintroduction in 2019. It includes 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine producing 193 HP. It also features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto integration, and OnStar services.
LT: This mid-level trim was also launched in 2019 alongside the other trims. It's available in three configurations: 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT. The 1LT builds upon the base trim with a power-adjustable driver's seat and rear privacy glass. The 2LT variant upgrades to a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine with 305 HP, while the 3LT features leather upholstery, rear parking sensors, and a power liftgate.
RS: This sporty trim has been part of the Blazer lineup since its relaunch in 2019. It features a blacked-out front grille, 20-inch wheels, and an upgraded driver info display. It also has a navigation system and dual exhaust tips.
Premier: This top-tier premium trim has been available from the start of the current generation in 2019. It has an eight-speaker Bose audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, and chrome accents.

Key Features

Here are a few key features to expect in a used Chevy Blazer.

Drive Modes Selector

The Blazer includes multiple drive modes based on your driving needs, including Tour, AWD, Off-Road, Sport, and Tow/Haul. These modes adjust performance characteristics to suit different driving conditions and preferences. This feature has been standard on all trims since 2019 but is particularly enhanced in the RS trim for sportier handling.

Infotainment System

All Blazer trims feature a 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These cars can also be equipped with a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Since 2019, higher trims like RS and Premier have also included a wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones.

Hands-Free Power Liftgate

The hands-free power liftgate allows for easy access to the rear cargo area. It can be adjusted to different height settings, making it perfect for users of any height and for loading in tight spaces. This feature is standard on the Premier trim and has been available as an option on the 2LT and 3LT trims since 2019.

Cargo Management System

The Cargo Management System makes the Chevy Blazer perfect for anyone who uses their car for camping, moving, or big grocery hauls. This feature is designed to optimize the storage space within the Blazer. It includes an adjustable cargo fence that helps organize items in the rear compartment, preventing them from shifting while you drive.

This feature has been available across all trims since the car’s launch in 2019.

HD Surround Vision

The HD Surround Vision uses multiple cameras to give you a bird’s-eye view over the car. It helps a lot in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. This system has four cameras: one at the rear, one in the front grille, and two on the side mirrors.

When reversing, the rear camera view is displayed alongside the surround view. It can also show front views when moving forward at low speeds. This feature is available on all trims of the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer except for the 2LT.

Performance

The Chevrolet Blazer’s performance shines through its internal combustion engine options. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 228 horsepower and nearly 258 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s about all the acceleration and efficiency a reliable car would need.

This engine runs with a nine-speed automatic transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifts and responsive handling. Whether you use it for urban drives or highway cruising, the Blazer won’t give out on you.

If you want a little more power, the optional 3.6-liter V6 engine ramps it up to 308 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, reaching 60 mph in just 6 seconds. This variant’s towing capacity is also much better. In fact, it reaches up to 4,500 pounds – perfect for camping or moving.

The good news is that Chevrolet is also pivoting to electric vehicles. The upcoming Blazer EV promises to maintain the same level of performance with its dual-motor configurations, offering up to 288 horsepower.

Safety

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer has a suite of safety features designed to improve driver confidence and protect occupants. This suite, known as Chevy Safety Assist, was introduced in 2020 and includes features like:

Automatic emergency braking
Front pedestrian braking
Lane keep assist
Forward collision alert
Following distance indicator
IntelliBeam®
Adaptive cruise control

The Blazer also has features like a 360-degree camera, rear cross-traffic alert, and park assist. The Chevy Safety Assist package is standard on most 2024 Chevrolet Blazer trims, including the base model and higher trims such as the RS and Premier.

Alternatives

If a used Chevy Blazer doesn't seem like the right choice for you, EchoPark recommends the following alternatives:

Honda Passport: The Honda Passport was reintroduced in 2019 to be more rugged than its predecessor. With 280 HP from its V6 engine, it slightly outperforms the Blazer's top engine option. Plus, the Passport has more cargo space, with up to 100.7 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down, compared to the Blazer's 64.2 cubic feet.
Hyundai Santa Fe: The Hyundai Santa Fe has been in production since 2000. It's known for its competitive fuel efficiency, achieving up to 29 mpg on the highway, much like the Blazer. While the Santa Fe's base engine produces less HP than the Blazer's available V6, it compensates with a smoother ride and better safety features across all trims.
Ford Edge: The Ford Edge was introduced in 2006 and is slightly larger than the Blazer. It has a more powerful turbocharged V6 engine option that generates up to 335 HP. This gives it an edge in performance but also makes it more expensive. While both SUVs offer a ton of cargo space, the Blazer's interior is much more modern and stylish compared to the Edge's traditional layout.
Kia Sorento: Introduced in 2002, the Kia Sorento is all about versatility and value. It has three rows of seating, much more than the Blazer's five-seat build. The Sorento has multiple powertrains, including hybrid options for maximum fuel efficiency. In terms of cargo space, it provides up to 75.5 cubic feet with the rear seats down, surpassing the Blazer yet again.
Toyota Highlander: The Toyota Highlander is a midsize SUV beloved for its family-friendly features since 2000. It has a spacious interior with three rows of seating — much more generous than the Blazer's five-seat configuration. The Highlander comes standard with a 265-horsepower V6 engine. While the Blazer guarantees sporty performance and design, the Highlander is a little more practical and comfortable.
