2020 Chevrolet Blazer: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer is a new 230-hp 2.0-liter turbo engine positioned between the base four-cylinder and the V6. Chevrolet also reorganized the LT trims and made a few small usability updates.
About the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer
1st generation revived Blazer crossover (2019-2022 pre-facelift), second model year.
Chevrolet positions the Blazer as the style-first choice in its midsize SUV lineup: a two-row crossover with Camaro-inspired design, a driver-focused cabin, and a more athletic road feel than many family crossovers. It sits between Equinox and Traverse, aiming at shoppers who want bold looks, useful everyday space, and available strong V6 power more than maximum cargo room or off-road focus.
The 2020 Blazer lineup spans the straightforward L and 1LT, turbo-powered 2LT and leather-trimmed 3LT, and the more distinctive RS and Premier. The RS pairs a V6 with sportier steering and suspension tuning, dark exterior trim, and red cabin accents. Premier takes a more comfort-focused approach with Bose audio, navigation, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 230-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine joined the lineup between the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the 3.6-liter V6. The LT range was reorganized into 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT around the revised engine lineup, and the engine stop/start system gained an off switch.
Tech
Trailer-hitch guidance was added to Blazers equipped with the tow package, helping the driver line up the vehicle with a trailer.
