The 2026 Blazer gives you two great engine choices:

**Standard 2.0L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder:** 228 hp, 258 lb-ft torque. Perfect for daily commutes and highway trips-delivers excellent fuel efficiency without sacrificing responsiveness. Ideal if you value economy and everyday practicality.

**Available 3.6L V6:** 308 hp, 270 lb-ft torque. This is your power upgrade for drivers who want more spirited performance and added confidence for towing. Both pair with a smooth 9-speed automatic transmission.

**Towing:** Either engine can handle the available Trailering Package (up to 4,500 lbs), so choose based on power preference and driving style.

Both powertrains deliver the refined, athletic handling Blazer owners love. Not sure which fits your lifestyle? The Markquart Motors team can help you test drive both at (715) 833-0444. Browse current inventory online or stop by in Chippewa Falls.
