Jun 12, 2026

The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer Arrives in Northwest Arkansas

The landscape of the midsize SUV market is shifting toward boxy, off-road designs, but the arrival of the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer offers a refreshing alternative for those who prioritize athletic styling and sharp on-road performance. Our team is excited to showcase this latest iteration, which continues to draw heavy inspiration from the Camaro performance DNA. For professionals commuting to the Walmart Headquarters in Bentonville, the sleek silhouette and aggressive front grille of the Blazer provide a sophisticated presence that stands out in any corporate parking lot.

Whether you are looking for a sport-focused daily driver or a versatile family vehicle, we invite you to explore the new Chevrolet Blazer for sale at our showroom. Our current selection includes a variety of configurations to suit different needs, and we also carry the new Chevrolet Blazer EV inventory for those ready to transition to electric power. For shoppers who need more space or different capabilities, we maintain an extensive range of options, including the new Chevrolet Equinox for sale and the larger new Chevrolet Traverse for sale.

If your lifestyle requires heavy-duty towing or a full-size frame, you can also browse the new Chevrolet Tahoe inventory or the new Chevrolet Suburban for sale. Truck enthusiasts will find plenty to like in our new Chevrolet Colorado for sale or the versatile new Chevrolet Silverado 1500. For the most demanding jobs, we offer the new Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, the new Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, and even the new Chevrolet Silverado 3500 DRW. Of course, for those who want pure performance, we have the new Chevrolet Corvette inventory, including the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the incredible new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

Dynamic Powertrain Options and Performance Capabilities

Which engine provides the best balance of power and efficiency for your driving habits? The 2026 Blazer lineup offers two distinct choices, ensuring that every driver can find a performance level that matches their expectations. The 2LT and 3LT trims come standard with a 2.0L I4 turbocharged engine. This powerplant delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for confident highway merging and passing. For those who want the peak of the Blazer’s performance potential, the RS trim features a 3.6L V6 engine producing 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.

Roadside Assistance 24-hour Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation for 5 years / 60,000 miles

Both engines are paired with a refined Automatic transmission that provides smooth shifts and keeps the engine in its optimal power band. While some midsize SUVs focus on off-road ruggedness, the Blazer is tuned for the pavement, offering agile handling and well-controlled body roll through corners. Every trim available through our team features a 4WD drivetrain, providing enhanced traction when the weather turns unpredictable or when navigating the rolling hills of the Ozarks.

Drivers can test both engines to feel the difference in acceleration between the four-cylinder and the V6. The 3.6L V6 allows the Blazer to reach 60 mph in about 6.6 seconds, a figure that is quite quick for this segment. If you are considering a pre-owned model to see how these powertrains hold up over time, you can browse our used vehicle inventory to compare different model years. The performance-oriented tuning of the RS also includes an Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system, which can independently direct torque to the rear wheel with the most grip, further improving stability during spirited driving.

Fuel Economy Ratings and Efficiency for the Arkansas Commute

Many of our customers ask about the long-term fuel costs of a midsize SUV, especially when planning frequent trips between residential neighborhoods and the Pinnacle Hills Promenade in Rogers. The 2026 Blazer offers competitive efficiency ratings that help manage the total cost of ownership. For the standard 2.0L I4 engine with front-wheel drive, the EPA estimates are 22 mpg city / 29 mpg highway, resulting in a 25 mpg combined rating. When you opt for the 4WD system, those numbers adjust slightly to 22 mpg city / 27 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined.

Front crash prevention: pedestrian (day) — Optional system: Advanced; Standard system: Advanced ✓
Optional: blind spot detection ✓
Standard: lane departure warning & prevention ✓

The more powerful 3.6L V6 engine naturally requires a bit more fuel to deliver its 308 horsepower. Drivers can expect roughly 19 mpg city / 26 mpg highway with front-wheel drive, while the 4WD version nets about 18 mpg city / 26 mpg highway. For shoppers who are extra conscious of vehicle history and efficiency, we recommend looking at our Carfax 1-owner vehicles, which often include well-maintained crossovers with documented service records.

The efficiency of the 2026 Blazer is supported by a 9-speed automatic transmission that helps the engine operate at lower RPMs during highway cruising. This is particularly beneficial for the long stretches of I-49 that connect our local communities. By choosing the turbo-four, you get a balance of forced-induction punch and highway efficiency that is ideal for most daily routines. If you are looking to maximize your fuel budget, the standard engine provides plenty of capability without the premium cost of the V6.

Inside the 2026 Blazer: Modern Technology and Cargo Versatility

One of the first things people notice when they sit inside the 2026 Blazer is the intuitive layout of the dashboard, which avoids the common pitfall of hiding every function inside a touchscreen. While it features a standard 10.2-inch diagonal HD touchscreen, Chevrolet has kept physical knobs for the climate control system. This practical design choice allows you to adjust the temperature by simply turning the outer ring of the turbine-style air vents. The infotainment system itself is highly responsive and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as standard equipment across the lineup.

Seating Capacity 5
Length 191.9
Width 76.7
Height 67

Cargo space is a critical factor for families in our region, whether they are hauling sports gear or outdoor equipment. The 2026 Blazer provides a flexible interior with the following dimensions:

  • About 31 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row.
  • About 64 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the rear seats folded flat.
  • A 60/40 second-row split-folding seat that allows you to balance passenger needs with longer items.
  • Standard sliding rear seats, a rare feature in this class that lets you prioritize either legroom or trunk space.

The cabin is also designed for comfort during long drives, featuring active noise cancellation to dampen wind and road noise. For those who want to personalize their interior further, our service and parts department can assist with genuine Chevrolet accessories like all-weather floor liners or cargo organizers. The 3LT and RS trims offer even more convenience with a programmable power liftgate, making it easier to load groceries or gear when your hands are full. The interior styling mirrors the exterior’s sportiness, especially in the RS trim, which features black leather seating surfaces with striking red accents.

Comparing the 2LT and RS Trims at George Nunnally Chevrolet

A common misconception among shoppers is that the higher price of the RS trim is only for aesthetic upgrades. While the RS certainly looks the part with its RS-exclusive badging, black bowties, and 20-inch wheels, the differences go much deeper into the vehicle’s mechanical core. The 2LT is the entry point into the lineup with a Starting MSRP of $38,815, offering a balanced mix of safety tech and comfort. In contrast, the RS sits at a Starting MSRP of $52,640, a step up that includes the more powerful V6 engine and the Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD system as standard.

Pricing

MSRP and destination charges

Feature 2LT 3LT RS
Starting MSRP $38,815 $46,835 $52,640

Lowest starting MSRP: 2LT at $38,815

The 2LT is an excellent value for those who want the Blazer’s style and a standard Driver Confidence Package without the higher price tag. This package includes lane change alert with side blind zone alert, rear park assist, and rear cross traffic alert. If you move up to the 3LT, which has a Starting MSRP of $46,835, you gain more available options like the Sound and Technology Package. However, the RS remains the flagship for performance enthusiasts, adding dual exhaust with rectangular bright tips and a more aggressive suspension tune.

When you are weighing these options, our team can help you compare the features on the floor to see which fits your budget and driving style. If you plan on doing any towing, the RS with its available V6 is the clear choice, as it can be equipped to pull up to 4,500 lbs. For those who prioritize a smooth, efficient commute, the 2LT or 3LT with the turbo-four might be the better fit. Regardless of which trim you choose, we can ensure your vehicle is ready for the road with a certified service brake inspection before you take delivery.

Reliability and Resale Value: How the Blazer Leads the Competition

The Chevrolet Blazer consistently performs well in long-term reliability, with a RepairPal rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, which ranks it near the top of its segment. This high score is based on the actual frequency and severity of unscheduled repairs, providing peace of mind for those concerned about ownership costs over time. Furthermore, the Blazer’s five-year resale value outperforms the Ford Edge, which typically sees steeper depreciation in the same timeframe.

Confidence in your purchase is further bolstered by the standard Chevrolet warranty coverage:

  • 3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper basic warranty.
  • 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain warranty.
  • 5 years / 60,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance.
  • 6 years / 100,000 miles of rust-through protection.

To maintain this reliability, our team makes it easy to stay on top of your vehicle’s health. You can easily book a certified service oil change online to ensure your engine continues to run at peak performance. When it eventually comes time to upgrade, knowing that your Blazer has a strong resale value makes the process of getting your trade-in value much more rewarding. The combination of a proven platform and comprehensive warranty support makes the 2026 Blazer a smart financial decision for the long haul.
