2025 Chevrolet Blazer: Two Engines, Two Rows, and a Choice of Character

The Blazer is the midsize SUV for people who don’t need a third row and would rather have the space go into cargo and style than into seats nobody uses.

Here’s what the 2025 Blazer offers and how to choose.

First, One Clarification

The Blazer is a two-row SUV seating five. If you need three rows, that’s the Traverse — which is a different vehicle despite being similar in size outside.

There’s also a Blazer EV, an all-electric SUV that shares the name and very little else. If you’ve been reading about the Blazer and the details didn’t match, that’s likely why.

This post is about the gas Blazer.

The Engines

Both pair with a nine-speed automatic.

The 2.0-liter turbo is the efficiency choice, and 258 lb-ft is more torque than the V6 makes — which means it feels stronger than the horsepower gap suggests in everyday driving.

The 3.6-liter V6 delivers 308 horsepower and a different character: smoother at high revs, more satisfying under hard acceleration, and the better choice if you tow.

Towing up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped — a small boat, a utility trailer, or a pair of jet skis.

The available Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system can send torque side to side across the rear axle, not just front to rear. That’s more sophisticated than most all-wheel-drive systems in this class and it shows up as better grip in the wet.

Selectable drive modes: Tour, Sport, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul.

The Trims

LT — the entry point, well equipped with the 2.0-liter turbo and the standard 11-inch screen.

RS — the sport treatment, with black exterior accents, unique wheels, and a more aggressive look. The volume trim for good reason.

Premier — chrome accents and the fullest comfort and technology list.

Interior

A standard 11-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add built-in navigation and a Bose premium audio system.

Cargo is the Blazer’s practical argument: 30.5 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. That’s genuinely useful space, and it’s what you get in exchange for skipping a third row.

Seating for five adults with available heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Heated rear seats are rarer than they should be at this price.

Premium materials including available leather upholstery with chrome or gloss black accents depending on trim.

Exterior

An updated grille with sleek LED headlamps and daytime running lights, with RS and Premier trims adding black or chrome treatments.

Wheels from 18 to 21 inches, and colors including Radiant Red Tintcoat, Nitro Yellow Metallic, and Mosaic Black.

Roof rails, an available hands-free power liftgate, and heated side mirrors.

Safety

Chevy Safety Assist is standard on every trim:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam auto high beams

Available: Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and an HD Surround Vision 360-degree camera.

A high-strength steel safety cage and multiple airbags underneath all of it.

Blazer, Traverse, or Equinox?

Blazer — two rows, more style, more cargo than a compact, V6 available. Right if you don’t need a third row and want something with presence.

Traverse — three rows, seating for eight, more power, more space. Right if you carry more than five people.

Equinox — smaller, more efficient, lower price. Right if the Blazer is more vehicle than you need.

Most Blazer buyers are choosing it over a Traverse because they’d rather have the cargo area than the third row. If that’s you, it’s the right call.

The engine choice is worth settling in person. The 2.0-liter turbo actually makes more torque than the V6, so drive both before assuming you need the six — plenty of people walk in wanting the V6 and leave in a turbo four.
