Overview

What's New

Even though it’s only been around for a year, the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer sees a major addition: a new engine. Coming off its debut in 2019, the mid-size crossover adds a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that already powers the Cadillac XT4.

The turbo-four joins the Blazer’s two existing engines, slotting in between the two as an option on the two middle trims. The trims are organized a little differently for 2020, but the Blazer is otherwise largely unchanged from last year.

Choosing Your Chevrolet Blazer

The Chevy Blazer comes in six trims: L, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier. The starting price for a Blazer L checks in at $29,995 including destination, while it tops out at $43,895 for a Premier model.

Engine Choices

The new addition brings the Blazer’s engine lineup to three. The L and 1LT are only available with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder; the 2LT and 3LT get the new 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder as standard while a 3.6-liter V6 is optional for $500; and the RS and Premier are exclusively available with the V6.

Engine TypeHorsepowerTorqueFuel Economy (Combined)
2.5L 4-Cylinder193 hp188 lb-ft23 mpg
2.0L Turbo 4-Cylinder230 hp258 lb-ftNot Yet Rated
3.6L V6308 hp270 lb-ft21 mpg

All three engines come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is only available with front-wheel drive, but the others can power all four wheels for a surcharge of $2,000 for the turbo or $2,650 for the V6.

The EPA hasn’t tested the Blazer with its new powertrain, but it'll likely be the most efficient of the bunch.

If you’re looking to tow a trailer, you’ll want the V6. Both of the four-cylinder engines are limited to a 1,500 pound payload, while the larger V6 can pull a more SUV-like 4,500 pounds.

Passenger and Cargo Capacity

All Blazers can seat up to five passengers, with healthy interior space and a rear seat that can slide back and forth on a track.

The back can swallow 30.5 cubic feet of cargo, or 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. That’s only slightly more than the compact Chevrolet Equinox, and it’s low compared to rivals like the Ford Edge or Nissan Murano.


Safety Features

The Blazer may wear modern crossover looks, but it hasn’t quite caught up on safety tech. There are no standard active safety features on the base model – as more and more brands make these features standard, this is a regrettable omission for a family crossover.

The 3LT gets blind-spot monitoring, lane change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear parking sensors. On 1LT and 2LT models, these four features are available through the Convenience and Driver Confidence Package ($1,845).

A surround-view camera becomes available starting on the 3LT, while buyers can bundle the surround-view camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning on the RS through the Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II Package ($3,575). The safety features cost $2,165 on the Premier through the Driver Confidence II Package.

Connectivity

All Blazers run Chevy’s Infotainment 3 system through an 8-inch touchscreen with USB ports, Bluetooth, wi-fi hot spot capability, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation is standard on the RS and Premier, and available on the 3LT.


L - From $29,995

To manage a starting price under $30,000, the Blazer L keeps things simple. Cloth features, manual seat adjustment, and the most basic infotainment system are standard. Black, white, and silver are the only exterior options. It does get a few luxury touches like HID headlights, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

1LT - From $33,495

Stepping up to the 1LT trim adds an eight-way power driver’s seat, a satellite radio trial subscription, tinted windows, and a host of available options. This trim opens up more exterior color options, available 20-inch rims ($1,995), and a rear-seat infotainment system ($1,995).

The aforementioned safety features are bundled in the Convenience and Driver Confidence Package ($1,845), which also includes heated front seats, remote start, and a power liftgate. Buyers can have a roof rack and side assist steps in the Hit the Road Package ($1,050), but they’ll need the previous package selected first.

2LT - From $33,995

The 2LT trim is identical to the 1LT in terms of standard equipment except for its engine. It gets the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, but can have the V6 for an extra $500.

The other change is the available Redline Edition ($1,895), which adds a variety of sporty red aesthetic cues. Once again, it requires the Convenience and Driver Confidence Package be selected.

3LT - From $38,195

The Blazer 3LT adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, remote start, the power liftgate, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, roof rails, blind-spot monitoring, lane change alert, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Navigation is found in the Sound and Technology Package ($1,400) alongside a Bose eight-speaker audio system, the surround-view camera, and a rear camera mirror.

RS - From $41,795

Pushing into luxury territory, the RS trim includes navigation, a heated steering wheel, a 120-volt outlet, a larger 8-inch driver information display, and ambient lighting. The exterior gets 20-inch rims, a hands-free liftgate, and a more aggressive look.

This trim is the first to see advanced safety features like adaptive cruise control, but getting them means adding the pricey Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence Package II Package ($3,575). This also includes the Bose audio system, wireless charging, heated rear seats, and more. A panoramic sunroof can be added for $1,595.

Premier - From $43,895

The range-topping Premier tosses in a few more standard features, like cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a power adjustable steering column, the Bose audio system, and memory functionality for the driver's seat, side mirrors, and steering wheel.

Here, the safety features are available on their own for $2,165 through the Driver Confidence II Package, while the sunroof remains a $1,595 standalone option.

CarsDirect Tip

We like the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer best once it has safety equipment and the V6. That means the RS or Premier trim, which start to compete against true luxury crossovers.

Styling ripped from the Camaro. The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer isn’t like any other Chevy crossover SUV, at least when it comes to looks. Several styling elements were taken from the Chevy Camaro, giving the Blazer the sportiest look of the lot.

The key Camaro elements include its front fascia, particularly the upper grille with the narrow LED lights. From the rear, the taillights are also Camaro-inspired, although they seem too small for this model. The Blazer’s high stance, uptick beltline, and big wheels and tires enhance its muscular persona.

Inside, the Blazer advances a wing-like design that’s a welcome departure from earlier crossovers from the brand, including the Chevrolet Equinox. We’re not sold on where Chevy placed some of the cabin controls, especially the climate control switches, which form a running band across the dashboard. Otherwise, the cabin delivers an acceptable blend of restraint and practicality.


Chevrolet Blazer

Good, better, and best engine choices. Chevy could have offered one engine choice for the Blazer and left it at that. That’s the approach taken with the Nissan Murano, a Blazer competitor. Instead, Chevy offers three engine choices.

The base 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 193 horsepower does a good job in fuel efficiency, although its EPA-estimated 23 miles per gallon combined isn’t the best among the three. The winner here is the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 230 hp, which delivers 24 mpg combined.

The best engine of the bunch is the 3.6-liter V6 with 308 hp. Moreover, the V6’s twin-clutch rear differential can shift torque across the rear axle, supplying better traction and handling. It can also tow up to 4,500 pounds.

We laud the Blazer for its crisp handling and assertive and firm ride across the lineup.

Safety is a mixed bag. We don’t have all the crash test data for the Blazer from the IIHS yet, although it's showing some promise in initial testing. It does, however, carry a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA.

What surprises us is a lack of standard active safety features. They're available, but you won’t find them on every trim. Chevrolet does offer automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and more, but they’re bundled within expensive packages in the RS and Premier trims only.

Laudable infotainment features. We may be disappointed with how Chevy presents its safety offerings, but that’s not the case with infotainment. This is one area where the Blazer excels.

The standard Blazer comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker audio system, four USB ports, Bluetooth audio streaming, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The list of options includes a surround-view camera system and wireless smartphone charging.

Final thoughts. The 2020 Chevy Blazer is a fine midsize crossover offering, with sporty styling, good engine choices, and a nice feature set. It's held back by a lack of active safety features and below-average fuel economy. It doesn't help that the competition is fierce, either.

Skip the base engine and head for the turbo-four or the V6. Both engines deliver ample power, just what you’d expect for a midsize model.
