Overview
The Blazer is Chevy's muscular midsize two-row SUV, and for 2026 it gets the upgraded 2.5-liter turbo producing 315 horsepower on upper trims. That's legitimate performance — enough to make highway merging entertaining and towing the boat effortless.
At $35,600 to start, the Blazer is competitively priced against the Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota Land Cruiser, though those competitors offer very different propositions. The Santa Fe provides three-row seating and a hybrid option. The Land Cruiser offers serious off-road hardware. The Blazer counters with straight-line performance and American muscle-SUV attitude.
The interior is where the Blazer shows its mainstream roots. Materials and fit-and-finish don't match the Korean competitors at this price, and the infotainment system, while functional, doesn't wow. If raw performance in a two-row package is your priority, the Blazer delivers. If interior quality matters more, the Santa Fe is the better buy.
Key Highlights
- Midsize two-row SUV with up to 315 hp
