2026 Chevrolet Blazer Trims Compared

The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer nameplate covers six trims across two mechanically unrelated vehicles. The gas Blazer runs a turbocharged four (a V6 is available on the top trim), rides on a front-drive-based platform, and spans from $34,300 to $43,600. The electric Blazer EV rides on a battery platform, offers front-drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive, and spans from $44,700 to $60,700 (all figures starting MSRP, excluding destination). Because the two are different under the skin, this page never compares a gas trim against an electric one on the same rung; the powertrain question belongs to the gas vs EV page.

George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks both lineups, so shoppers from Fayetteville and Lowell can look at a gas 3LT and a Blazer EV RS in one visit. Below is each trim broken out, a comparison table for each lineup, the matchups people actually cross-shop, and a value pick for both the gas Blazer and the Blazer EV.

2026 Blazer Trim Lineup at a Glance

Gas Blazer — 2LT, 3LT, RS

Blazer EV — LT, RS, SS

Prices are starting MSRP and exclude the destination freight charge, tax, title, license, dealer fees, and options; the dealer sets the final price. The gas Blazer seats five and the Blazer EV seats five; the two do not share a platform, powertrain, screen or charging story, so nothing on one table carries to the other.

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

The gas trims come first, then the Blazer EV trims. Each stands on its own; do not read a gas figure into an EV trim or the reverse.

Gas Blazer 2LT — from $34,300

The 2LT trim opens the gas lineup with the 228-hp 2.0L turbocharged four, a 9-speed automatic, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Standard on this trim: a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate, an 8-way power heated driver seat, keyless open and start, LED headlights, and the Chevy Safety Assist suite with standard rear park assist. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available. It is the pick for a buyer who wants the Blazer look and turbo pace without paying for leather or a sport package.

Gas Blazer 3LT — from $39,700

The 3LT trim keeps the 228-hp turbo four and 18-inch wheels and adds the comfort content most families use: perforated leather seating, a power programmable liftgate, black roof rails, a 6-way power passenger seat, an auto-dimming mirror, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Front-wheel drive is standard with all-wheel drive available. If you want a nicer cabin but do not need the RS styling or the V6, this is the gas trim to price first.

Gas Blazer RS — from $43,600

The RS trim is the sport-and-tech flagship of the gas line. It adds a sport-tuned suspension, RS blackout styling, 20-inch wheels (21-inch available), a heated steering wheel, an 8-inch driver information display, navigation, a Bose audio system, wireless charging, a 120V outlet, and ambient lighting. It is the only gas trim that offers the 3.6L V6, which raises output to 308 hp, pairs with all-wheel drive, and requires the Trailering Equipment Package; so equipped the RS tows up to 4,500 lb. The 2.0L turbo remains standard on the RS. Choose it for the boldest gas Blazer and the option of six-cylinder power.

Blazer EV LT — from $44,700

The LT trim opens the electric line with a single front motor making 220 hp (an 85 kWh pack, up to 312 miles of EPA range, and 150 kW DC fast charging); a 300-hp dual-motor eAWD version is available and rates up to 283 miles. Standard on this trim: 19-inch wheels, a 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch driver display, Google built-in, the Chevy Safety Assist suite, and a dual-level charge cord. Front-wheel drive is standard here, not all-wheel drive. It is the value entry into the Blazer EV and the range leader for the money.

Blazer EV RS — from $50,500

The RS trim shares the LT battery and motors (220 hp front-drive or 300 hp eAWD, up to 312 miles) and layers on the show: 21-inch wheels, an illuminated front light bar with an animated bowtie, gloss-black exterior trim, a head-up display, and heated rear outboard seats. Super Cruise is available on this trim. It is the style-forward Blazer EV for a buyer who wants presence and the available driver-assist tech without stepping to the SS.

Blazer EV SS — from $60,700

The SS trim is the performance flagship. It makes 557 hp (615 hp with Wide Open Watts mode) from a standard dual-motor eAWD setup, runs a larger 102 kWh pack for about 302 miles of range, and takes 190 kW DC fast charging on 22-inch wheels; Chevrolet quotes 0-60 mph in about 3.4 seconds. Super Cruise is standard on the SS. It is the trim for a buyer who wants the quickest Blazer of either lineup.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Gas Blazer

Both gas engines pair with a 9-speed automatic. The 3.6L V6 is available on the RS only for 2026; the 2LT and 3LT are 2.0L turbo trims. The maximum 4,500-lb tow rating applies to the RS V6 properly equipped with the Trailering Equipment Package, not to the turbo four.

Blazer EV

Every Blazer EV uses a single-speed direct drive and Google built-in; there is no gas engine and no tow rating. Front-wheel drive is the base configuration on the LT and RS, dual-motor eAWD is optional there, and eAWD is standard on the SS. Range moves with drive layout and wheel size, so the 312-mile figure is the front-drive LT and RS on standard wheels.

Common Blazer Trim Comparisons

Gas 2LT vs 3LT

Same 228-hp turbo four, same 18-inch wheels; the 3LT trim adds perforated leather seating, a power programmable liftgate, a 6-way power passenger seat, and black roof rails for about $5,400 more. If a nicer cabin matters and sport looks do not, the 3LT is the stronger buy; if you want the lowest gas entry, the 2LT keeps the content that most owners actually use.

Gas 3LT vs RS

The RS trim steps up for about $3,900 with a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel, Bose audio, wireless charging, navigation, and, uniquely in the gas line, the available 308-hp V6. Pick the RS if you want the styling, the tech, or the six-cylinder option; stay with the 3LT if leather comfort is the goal and the turbo four is plenty.

Blazer EV LT vs RS

The EV RS trim runs the same 85 kWh pack, the same up-to-312-mile range, and the same 220/300-hp motors as the LT; the roughly $5,800 step buys 21-inch wheels, the illuminated front light bar, a head-up display, heated rear outboard seats, and the option of Super Cruise. It is a style-and-features step, not a range or power step. Choose the LT for the most efficient EV dollar and the RS for the look.

Blazer EV RS vs SS

This is the real powertrain jump in the electric line. The SS trim moves to a standard dual-motor eAWD making 557 hp (615 hp in Wide Open Watts), a larger 102 kWh pack, 190 kW fast charging, 22-inch wheels, and standard Super Cruise, for roughly $10,200 over the RS. The RS keeps up to 312 miles of range and a lower price; the SS trades a little range for a lot of speed.

The Blazer Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide

In the gas line, the 3LT trim is the sweet spot: it adds the leather and convenience content people use daily without the RS premium, and the turbo four is the same engine you get on the 2LT. The trim most often over-bought is a heavily optioned 2LT that climbs into 3LT money; price the two side by side first. In the electric line, the LT is the value pick for its 312-mile range at the lowest Blazer EV price, while the trim buyers most often overpay for is an eAWD RS that reaches toward SS money without the SS powertrain. Whether gas or electric fits you at all is a separate question, answered on the gas vs EV page for Northwest Arkansas drivers.

Which Blazer Trim Is Right for You?

Commuters who run I-49 daily and want the range leader tend to land on the Blazer EV LT, while a Lowell family that wants leather and the turbo four without the sport premium is usually happiest in the gas 3LT. If a Beaver Lake boat day and the odd trailer are in the picture, the gas RS with the available V6 and the Trailering Equipment Package is the tow-capable Blazer for a Northwest Arkansas driver.
