2026 Chevrolet Blazer: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer gets a focused lineup reset rather than a redesign. The biggest change is that blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors are now standard on every trim.
About the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer
First-generation modern Blazer crossover (2019-2026), eighth model year; late-cycle year following the 2023 mid-cycle update.
Chevrolet presents the Blazer as a sporty, two-row midsize SUV for everyday driving, with seating for five, a flexible sliding rear seat and up to 64.2 cubic feet of cargo space. Its main distinction is expressive road-focused styling rather than off-road ability, backed by a standard turbo engine and an RS configuration that could include stronger V6 power. It targets shoppers wanting more visual personality than a conventional family crossover without moving to a three-row SUV.
The 2LT is the everyday core model, with a 228-hp turbo engine, heated front seats and a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 3LT adds practical upgrades such as a programmable power liftgate and a power-adjustable front-passenger seat. The sport-styled RS has built-in navigation, a heated steering wheel and either the turbo four-cylinder or a stronger 3.6-liter V6, depending on the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer?
The biggest change is more standard safety equipment. Every 2026 Blazer has blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors, along with Chevrolet's collision-avoidance safety suite.
Which trims does the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer have?
The 2026 Blazer lineup consists of 2LT, 3LT and RS. Chevrolet dropped the Premier trim, simplifying the range to three versions.
What engines are in the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer?
The 2LT and 3LT use a 228-hp 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, and the RS was built with either that engine or a 3.6-liter V6. Every version has a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Did the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer get a new design or interior?
No, the 2026 Blazer did not receive a redesign or broad interior upgrade. Its exterior styling, basic cabin layout and 10.2-inch touchscreen carry over.
Is the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer worth considering over the 2025 model?
The 2026 Blazer is most appealing over the 2025 if standard blind-zone alert, rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors matter to you. It also has a simpler trim range and adds the turbo four-cylinder to the RS, but it does not bring a major styling or cabin update.
