The Blazer is available in four distinct trim levels, LT, RS and Premier, with several different equipment packages available on the LT trim. Power for the base model is provided by a turbo-charged 2.0L 4-cylinder producing 228hp. An optional 3.6L V6 provides 308 hp and comes standard on the Premium and RS models, though it's also optional on the base model, provided the buyer springs for the correct option package. With each engine choice, power is sent to the wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available and comes standard on any Blazer also equipped with the turbo 4 cylinder and the bigger V6.
The Blazer is available with a ton of options, but even the most basic Blazer comes pretty-well equipped. Standard infotainment features include a 6-speaker stereo with an 8-inch color touchscreen, Bluetooth audio streaming, voice commands, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and SiriusXM satellite radio, 4 USB charging points and 4.2-inch screen for the driver. Additional standard features include an electronic locking glovebox, keyless entry with push button start, a rearview camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights and HID headlights.
The Blazer RS gives buyers a bunch of other features, headlined by an improved infotainment system that adds navigation, an audio input jack, 6 USB ports and an SD card reader. Also standard on the RS include a bigger 8-inch screen in the driver's instrument panel, nicer interior ambient lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 120-volt power outlet, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a built-in garage door opener, a powered rear liftgate, 20-inch wheels, as well as a suite of driver assistance and safety programs, such as a blind spot monitoring system and a rear cross traffic alert system.
