The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer is one of those SUVs that feels right the moment you settle in. The driving position is natural, the controls fall to hand, and the view over the sculpted hood hints at the confident way it will track down a motorway or thread through a tight car park. It looks sharp, yet the appeal runs deeper than styling. Underneath is a practical package of powertrains, traction systems and useful technology that make everyday driving easier and long trips more relaxing.

Performance starts with a choice of engines paired to a quick, smooth 9-speed automatic. The standard 2.0-litre turbocharged four produces 228 hp and 258 lb-ft, a combination that suits urban routes and brisk highway merges while maintaining strong efficiency. Those who prefer effortless passing power can step into the available 3.6-litre V6 rated at 308 hp and 270 lb-ft. Both engines are calibrated to keep revs low at a cruise and respond promptly when you ask for more. Drivetrain choice is straightforward and now clearly tiered: front-wheel drive is standard on LT and True North, with available all-wheel drive for added confidence in mixed conditions, while RS includes a standard twin-clutch advanced AWD system that can direct torque side to side across the rear axle for a more agile, planted feel when surfaces change.
Real-world economy reflects the powertrain you choose and how you drive. Factory-estimated figures for the 2.0-litre turbo come in around 10.8 L/100 km city and 8.7 L/100 km highway, helped by the wide-ratio 9-speed and the engine’s generous mid-range torque. The 3.6-litre V6 is rated at approximately 12.8 L/100 km city and 9.1 L/100 km highway, still impressive given the smoothness and extra performance on tap. Careful aero work and transmission mapping enable relaxed, low-rpm cruising that keeps cabin noise down and economy up.

Capability shows up in the numbers and the details. With the available Trailering Package, Blazer can tow up to 2,041 kg, enough for a pair of personal watercraft or a small camper. Driver Mode Selector tailors powertrain and traction responses with a simple dial, including Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road and Tow/Haul where equipped. The combination of mode mapping and AWD logic helps the vehicle pull away cleanly on slick mornings, stay composed on gravel, and feel settled with a trailer attached. Hill Start Assist and available Hitch Guidance with Hitch View further reduce juggling during solo hook-ups.
Cargo and passenger space are thoughtfully executed. Blazer seats five with a sliding second row that lets you trade a little cargo length for extra rear legroom when needed. Fold the 60/40 seatbacks and you open up to 1,818 litres of cargo volume with a long, usefully flat floor for bikes, flat-pack furniture or camping kits. The hands-free power liftgate with logo projection is one of those little luxuries that proves its worth when your arms are full of groceries, and the wide opening makes loading easier. Tie-downs and the available flexible cargo management system keep items from shifting when the drive gets twisty.

In the cabin, the driver-centric layout keeps common tasks simple. A standard 10.2-inch HD colour touchscreen anchors the dash, integrating connected services, in-vehicle apps and smartphone mirroring so navigation, media and calls are handled with minimal fuss. Up to six USB ports are available to keep devices charged in every seat, and remote start can be added so winter warm-ups or summer cool-downs happen before you climb aboard. Wireless charging, a heated steering wheel, and ventilated front seats are available on upper trims and make a tangible difference to daily comfort.
Safety is comprehensive from the start. Chevrolet Safety Assist is standard, bundling Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, IntelliBeam high-beam assist and a Following Distance Indicator. Available Adaptive Cruise Control further reduces motorway fatigue by smoothing speed changes with traffic. Around town and on trails, an available multi-view camera system provides helpful perspectives for curbs, tight garages and hitch line-ups, adding confidence in places where mirrors cannot see. Blind Zone Steering Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Braking are also available to help when visibility is compromised by passengers or cargo.

Some of the most satisfying updates are the ones you see every day. Lighting signatures are crisp with standard LED tail lamps and DRLs, and the palette includes vibrant choices for drivers who like a bolder look. The two-tone Black roof creates a distinctive profile, while special editions such as Redline or Midnight/Sport add darker trim, unique wheels and bolder badging for those who prefer an understated, stealthy appearance. Beyond the visuals, small touches like the sliding rear bench, a low load floor, and cleverly placed storage trays make weekly routines run smoother.
On the road, the tuning feels cohesive. Steering effort is light in car parks and gains reassuring weight at speed. The suspension is firm enough to control body motion over dips and crests, yet compliant over broken surfaces so passengers stay comfortable. With the RS twin-clutch AWD, you notice the way the rear axle helps rotate the vehicle into a bend and then settles it on exit, a subtle assist that makes winding roads more enjoyable without asking you to think about it. Brake feel is progressive, which helps with smooth stops in traffic and precise modulation when manoeuvring a trailer down a ramp.

Living with Blazer is refreshingly straightforward. The 9-speed transmission’s tall top gear keeps the cabin quiet on long drives, while available AWD and the full slate of driver modes prepare it for varied weather and weekend plans. Interior materials feel durable where they should and refined where you notice them most, like the touch points on the wheel and console. Option packages let you tailor the vehicle, from appearance to trailering, without overcomplicating the build. And because the infotainment platform supports connected services, updates and added features can arrive over time.
If your next SUV needs to balance confident performance, all-weather traction, flexible space and technology that simplifies life, the 2025 Blazer deserves a close look. Choose the 2.0-litre turbo for an efficient all-rounder or the 3.6-litre V6 for effortless passing and towing, then set it up with the features that match your routines. It is a polished, athletic package with the depth to back up its style.
