2021 Chevy Blazer

Engine Options

Chevrolet offers the 2021 Blazer with a choice of three different engines. All of them are double overhead camshaft designs with variable valve timing and direct injection for improved performance. They also feature stop/start technology to increase efficiency. The stop/start technology turns the engine off when you come to a full stop either at a red light or when you are in traffic, reducing fuel consumption and the vehicle’s overall emissions. The engine will then automatically restart when you take your foot off the brake.

Fuel Economy

The 2021 Chevy Blazer gets some pretty amazing fuel economy for an SUV of its size. If you opt for a Blazer L or 1LT with the 2.5-liter engine, you can expect to get 21 MPG in city driving and 27 MPG on the highway. If you decide on the 2LT or 3LT with the 2.0-liter engine and front-wheel drive, then you can expect an even better 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The Blazer with the 3.6-liter V6 gets slightly lower figures depending on your choice of drivetrain. If you opt for front-wheel drive, you will get an estimated 20 MPG in city driving and 27 MPG on the highway. Choosing all-wheel drive will result in roughly 1 MPG less than the more efficient front-wheel drive versions.

Towing Capabilities

One of the nicest surprises of the 2021 Chevy Blazer is its ability to tow light trailers. All versions of this SUV come standard with the ability to tow up to 1,500 lbs, which is a solid number for most recreational uses. However, if you want to do some serious trailering, then you should consider getting a Blazer with the 3.6-liter V6 engine. When equipped with this engine and the optional trailering equipment, the Blazer can tow up to an astounding 4,500 lbs of trailer. Previously this option was only available with all-wheel drive, but for 2021 you can now get the trailering equipment on a front-wheel drive Blazer.

Passenger & Cargo Space

The designers at Chevrolet have given the 2021 Chevy Blazer a very efficient design, maximizing the 107.8 cu.ft. in the passenger compartment to ensure that you and all of your passengers are as comfortable as possible. Front-row passengers will enjoy 39.8 inches of headroom, 41 inches of legroom, 59.1 inches of shoulder room, and 55.6 inches of hip room. Don’t worry - your rear-seat passengers won’t be complaining either with 38.6 inches of headroom, 39.6 inches of legroom, 58.6 inches of shoulder room, and 54.2 inches of hip room.

Infotainment Technology

The 2021 Chevy Blazer features one of the best infotainment systems on the market today - the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with an 8-inch color touchscreen. Even better, it comes standard on every trim of the Blazer, so you don’t have to pay a premium for a premium feature. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system integrates key information and entertainment features, including Bluetooth connectivity, a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot, a rear vision camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, USB data ports, and OnStar and Chevrolet Connected Services. If you love SiriusXM satellite radio, this feature comes with a free trial subscription on all models except the Blazer L.
