The 2026 Chevy Blazer gives you two great engine options to match your driving style:

**Standard 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder:** 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque-ideal for efficient commuting and long-distance travel while delivering solid performance.

**Available 3.6L V6:** 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque-for drivers who want more spirited, responsive power.

Both pair with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. The V6 option really shines if you plan to tow (the Blazer handles up to 4,500 pounds with the available Trailering Package) or want extra acceleration for highway merging and adventure driving.
