2024 Chevy Blazer: the next evolution in an iconic SUV lineup

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer builds upon decades of innovation, redefining standards of style, performance, and versatility in the midsize SUV market. With a range of trim levels and customization options, you can find—or fit—a Blazer to suit your own preferences and lifestyle. 

Since a refresh in 2023 updated the SUV’s style and makeup, the only major change this year is a new color: Riptide Blue Metallic. Otherwise, you’re getting the same solid base of features that have made previous models so popular. 

Key features & specs

Now let’s take a close look at the key features & specs of the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer to see exactly how the vehicle performs. 

Engine, transmission, and performance

The 2024 Chevy Blazer features a standard 228-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, with the option to add a 308-hp 3.6-liter V-6. Both engines pair with a nine-speed automatic transmission, and either front- or all-wheel drive. The four-cylinder can tow up to 1,500 pounds, while the V-6 version handles an impressive 4,500 pounds. 

Front-drive has sufficient power for getting around town and highway duty. Although speeds vary based on the exact model, several tests show the vehicle hitting 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, as well as short times for passing maneuvers. The Blazer has highly responsive brakes, with the RS trim stopping from 70 mph in only 165 feet. 

Fuel economy and MPG

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer is rated at up to 22 mpg city and 29 highway, with the V-6 version estimating slightly lower at 20 mpg city and 27 highway. 

Interior, comfort, and cargo

Heavily inspired by the Chevy Camaro, the interior features an intuitive climate-control system with round air vents below the center stack. Interior aesthetics include soft-touch plastics and a two-tone color scheme, while the higher-end models include leather surfaces and flashier materials. 

The Blazer features a pleasant interior experience, with ambient interior lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seat. The back seat, specifically, features plenty of stretch-out space, allowing for full comfort on long trips. 

The Blazer can fit up to 11 carry-on suitcases in the cargo hold behind the rear seats, and 26 with the seats folded. Ledges on the front door panels, as well as a cubby at the front of the center console, are perfect for storing small items.

Infotainment and connectivity

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer features a 10.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, as well as wireless charging for compatible phones. The system interface is relatively user-friendly. Featuring USB ports and a 120-volt outlet, the Blazer can also be equipped with a Wi-Fi hotspot, eight-speaker Bose audio system, and built-in navigation.
