Performance
The Chevy Blazer is an all-around SUV superstar due to its versatility and no-nonsense handling, not to mention its dialed-in look. Not only does the Blazer perform optimally in any condition, its features far surpass many of its competitors, especially when it comes to power. Let's take a moment to learn more about what makes this SUV tick and why what's under the hood is as impressive as ever.
An Engine for Your Driving Pleasure
The Blazer aims to please, which is why there are three engine options to fit comfortably into your everyday routine. The Ecotec 2.5L comes standard on the L and LT models and offers up 193 hp with an estimated 23 MPG combined fuel economy rating. This sturdy base engine also provides 188 lb-ft of torque, making it a strong option for your active lifestyle.
The next option is the 2.0L turbo, which amps up the power to 227 hp with 258 lb-ft of torque. Standard on the 2LT and 3LT models, this engine shines with an estimated 25 MPG combined with FWD and 24 MPG with AWD. Last but certainly not least, the 3.6L V6, standard on the RS and Premier and available on the 2LT and 3LT, impresses with 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. Gas mileage is comparable to the base engine with 22 MPG in FWD and 21 MPG in AWD; however, this engine's power makes for a thrilling ride.
Control Behind the Wheel
Another enjoyable feature of the Blazer is the Driver Mode Selector. This feature includes options like Tour, which places the vehicle in FWD for maximum efficiency, and Off-Road, which is optimal for navigating a rugged environment. Other driver modes include Sport Mode, which adapts stability and traction controls for a sportier ride, and AWD, which is especially helpful in slippery weather conditions. Finally, the Tow/Haul mode is a practical option when you're looking to accommodate heavy loads with ease.
Not only do you get to experience a robust selection of engines, but you're also able to tailor your ride to fit whatever terrain you're traveling on with just a twist of a dial. This smart midsize SUV is made for whatever road or trail you're on, ready to give you a smooth, controlled ride with maximum comfort and power.
