Base model gets cheaper, Premier trim is gone, and V6 remains only for RS at an extra cost
Chevrolet has revamped the trim lineup for the 2026 Blazer. The new base model is now the 2LT with front-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter LSY turbo engine, starting at $36,095. That’s $1,000 less than before, and it now comes standard with the Driver Confidence Package.
The mid-level 3LT, on the other hand, has increased by $500, now starting at $41,495, and no longer offers the naturally aspirated V6 LGX—only the 2.0-liter LSY is available.
The Premier trim has been completely removed, leaving buyers with three options: 2LT, 3LT, and RS. The 2026 RS comes standard with the same 2.0-liter turbo engine, while the V6 is now available only as a $1,000 option and must be paired with the $650 towing package. The starting price for the RS has risen $900 to $45,395.
Blazer production continues at GM’s plant in Mexico.
