Is Chevy redesigning the Blazer?
While Chevy isn’t reinventing the wheel with the new Blazer, the fact that the main change Car and Driver reports is a new coat of paint shows that it’s a pretty spectacular package as is, not needing much in the way of major fixes or overhauls. The same 4 trims from last year return, with the 2LT kicking off as the base model and the Premier continuing the top the line. The full list of trims reads as:
- 2LT - $36,795
- 3LT - $40,695
- RS - $44,195
- Premier - $44,195
Of these, the 3LT comes recommended by Car and Driver thanks to its V6 engine option, upping your maximum towing capacity to 4500 pounds when equipped with the requisite trailering equipment. They’d also add on the Sound and Technology package to net themselves a 120 volt outlet, a 360 degree camera system, additional usb ports, as well as a Bose stereo system and a rearview camera mirror. If you’re interested, you can tack on All-wheel drive for another $2,700.
How many miles per gallon does a 2024 Chevy Blazer get?
Good question! Motortrend has all of the scoop on the efficiency stats of the 2024 Blazer. They report that, of the two engines the Blazer offers this year, those being a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 and a 3.6 liter V6, the I4 comes standard on the 2LT, 3LT, and Premier trims, giving them some respectable power figures at 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
The higher trims, the 2LT, RS and Premier, unlock access to the V6, which is standard on the Blazer RS. The V6 makes a respectable 308 HP at 270 lb-ft of torque, which Car and Driver notes drops the Blazer’s 0-60 time to 6.1 seconds.
FWD is standard, but AWD is available on all trims. Fuel economy figures read 22/27-29 mpg city/highway for the inline four, and the V-6 churns out a slightly decreased mileage figure of 18-19/26 mpg.
The Blazer's higher trims—2LT, RS, and Premier—can all be had with a more powerful 3.6-liter V-6, and the six-cylinder is standard on the sporty Blazer RS.
