The Chevrolet Blazer lineup starts with the L, the simple entry trim. The 1LT and 2LT form the everyday-value branch: 1LT adds basic cabin conveniences, while 2LT brings turbo power, heated front seats, and more technology in recent years. The 3LT is the practical comfort upgrade, with easier cargo access and added front-passenger comfort. The RS is the sport-styled branch, set apart by unique body details and a more technology-focused cabin; examples span turbo-four and V6 power. Premier is the upscale trim, trading the RS theme for chrome accents, perforated leather-appointed seating, and Bose audio.
The Base Model trim level is the L, the straightforward entry point with the Blazer’s bold shape, roomy two-row cabin, and core conveniences.
Best for: Shoppers who want the Blazer’s look and space without moving into a longer equipment list.

The L and 1LT were early entry trims. The L was the simplest version, while 1LT added a power driver seat and darker rear glass. Both generally used the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and left the lineup after 2021.
On early Blazers, 1LT mainly adds everyday convenience over L, including a power-adjustable driver seat and darker rear glass. Both keep the simpler 2.5-liter engine and 8-inch touchscreen setup.
In newer lineups, 2LT is the core everyday trim. It combines the turbo four-cylinder with a large touchscreen, heated front seats, remote start, a power driver seat, and key driver-assistance features.
In recent years, 3LT keeps the 2LT’s turbo engine and main technology while adding a programmable power liftgate and a power-adjustable front-passenger seat. It is the more convenient choice for frequent passenger and cargo use.
Yes. In newer Blazers, 3LT is a practical family-oriented step because its power liftgate helps with loading and both front occupants get power-adjustable seats. It retains the roomy, sliding rear seat found across the lineup.
The RS is the sport-styled Blazer. It uses a distinct grille and bumpers, rectangular exhaust outlets, a heated steering wheel, built-in navigation, and ambient cabin lighting. Engine and drivetrain vary by year and vehicle.
The RS emphasizes sportier looks and added cabin technology, with unique exterior trim, a heated steering wheel, navigation, and ambient lighting. The 3LT is the more straightforward comfort upgrade over 2LT.
No. Many recent RS models use the 3.6-liter V6, but the badge does not guarantee that engine across every year. Some newer RS examples have the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, so verify the engine on the individual SUV.
On Blazers sold through 2025, Premier is the upscale trim. It favors chrome exterior details, perforated leather-appointed seating, and Bose audio rather than the RS trim’s darker, sport-focused appearance.
In lineups offering both, RS is the sportier-looking choice with unique bumpers and darker visual details. Premier takes the more polished route with chrome trim, perforated leather-appointed seating, and Bose audio.
For a newer used Blazer, 2LT is the straightforward everyday pick. It has the turbo engine, large touchscreen, heated front seats, remote start, and a power driver seat without the styling or luxury focus of higher trims.
Look for Premier on Blazers through 2025. It is the luxury-leaning version, with perforated leather-appointed seating and Bose audio. RS also adds cabin technology, but its main theme is sporty styling.
No. Safety equipment varies by year and trim. Earlier L and 1LT models have a shorter standard feature list, while 2LT and higher gained Chevrolet’s collision-avoidance suite as standard for 2021. Newer examples added more blind-zone and parking aids.
The later Blazer lineup centers on 2LT, 3LT, and RS. Premier appears through 2025, while the older L and 1LT trims ended after 2021. This matters when comparing equipment across different used model years.
