The 2026 Chevy Blazer offers two distinct engine choices to match your driving style.

**Standard: 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder**
Delivers 228 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque-perfect for efficient commuting and long-distance travel without compromising everyday capability.

**Available: 3.6L V6**
Packs 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque for drivers who want spirited, responsive performance alongside versatility.

**Transmission & Handling:** Both engines pair with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth, confident performance on highways and backroads. The available Twin-Clutch Advanced All-Wheel Drive system (RS trim) adds enhanced traction and control.

**Towing:** With the available Trailering Package, the Blazer handles up to 4,500 pounds-ideal for weekend getaways with small trailers or boats.

Whichever powertrain you choose, the Blazer balances efficiency with engaging performance. Contact Markquart Motors at (715) 833-0444 to test drive both options.
