Your Guide to the Trims of the 2025 Blazer

Just because an SUV is practical doesn’t mean it has to be boring. With the right model, you can have a ride that’s functional, spacious, bold, and athletic. If that all sounds good to you, you’ll be glad to learn that you can find the Chevy Blazer for sale here at Rusty Wallace Chevrolet. We love this stylish and capable model, and we’re happy to help you learn all about it so you can decide whether it’s the right pick for you.

Of course, Chevy doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all vehicles. The Blazer can be configured to meet your needs, with a variety of trim levels and powertrains available. Today, we’ll walk you through the Blazer’s trim lineup for the 2025 model year so you can get a good idea of which one best suits your needs and your budget.

The 2LT

As the entry-level trim, the 2LT is the most affordable option, with a starting MSRP of $35,600. It has a 2.0L turbocharged I-4, which produces 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, allowing for up to 3,250 lbs of towing capacity if you opt for the trailering equipment package. While this engine is the least powerful of the two available on the Blazer, it’s also the more efficient, getting 25 MPG combined in front-wheel drive and 24 MPG combined in all-wheel drive. Both FWD and AWD are options for the 2LT, so you can decide whether you prioritize fuel economy or getting more traction on wet roads and loose surfaces.

Chevy Safety Assist comes standard across the entire lineup, so you can drive with confidence no matter which trim you choose. This suite of features includes forward collision assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, following distance indicator, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. An HD rear vision camera and StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction control come standard, too, so it’s easy to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid danger. Families with kids of all ages will appreciate the LATCH system (for child safety seats), the rear seat reminder, and the Teen Driver tool, which are included on all trims.

The comfortable cabin features active noise cancellation so everyone can enjoy a more serene ride. The dual-zone automatic climate control system features rear air vents and can be started up before you get inside, thanks to the remote starter. Heated front seats and heated outside mirrors help keep frost at bay so you can drive on no matter the weather. While the front passenger seat needs to be manually adjusted on the 2LT trim, the driver’s seat comes standard with 8-way power adjustability, including power lumbar support.

Looking at tech, every Blazer comes standard with a 10.2-inch HD touchscreen that lets you easily control a variety of settings. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you connect your smartphone and use your favorite apps safely through the Blazer’s interface. Everyone can keep their devices powered up thanks to a total of four standard USB ports: two up front and two in the back, with each row getting both a type-A and a type-C port.

The 3LT

Upgrading to the 3LT trim gets you a higher array of useful features, plus the ability to get more capability. While it still comes standard with the base 4-cylinder engine, this trim gives you the option to upgrade to the more powerful 3.6L V6, which produces 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This increase in power allows you to accelerate more quickly, which comes in handy on the highway, and tow up to 4,500 lbs instead of 3,250 lbs. Opting for this engine means you’ll be getting either 21 MPG combined in all-wheel drive or 22 MPG combined in front-wheel drive.

This trim comes standard with a variety of extra features. On the exterior, you’ll find roof-mounted side rails that let you store cargo on the roof. There are also turn signal indicators integrated into the outside mirrors that make your signals clearer to other drivers. In the back, the manual liftgate is replaced with a powered version that can be programmed to open to a certain height.

Step inside, and you’ll find leather-appointed seats and a 6-way power-adjustable front passenger seat instead of the manual version. An auto-dimming rearview mirror is easy to see no matter the time of day, and a universal home remote can be programmed to operate your garage door opener or home security system. There are also three additional safety features supplementing the standard lineup: lane change alert with side blind zone alert helps you stay aware of your surroundings on the freeway, rear cross-traffic alert helps when you’re backing out of a parking space in a crowded lot, and rear park assist has extra sensors to help you with driving in reverse.

The RS & Premier

While the 3LT is a clear step up from the 2LT, the RS and Premier trims share the title of top-tier trim. Both have the same starting price and they have a lot of features in common. Many of the differences have to do with styling. 

For instance, the RS has gloss black exterior accents while the Premier has chrome accents, and each trim has its own exclusive grille pattern and wheel designs. They also have different interior design options, with the RS offering black leather seats with red accents while the Premier offers black leather seats with maple sugar accents. The Premier has bright front sill plates that can’t be had on any other Blazer. On the other hand, the RS is the only trim to come standard with the more powerful V6 engine.

Both the RS and the Premier come standard with a power liftgate whose hands-free feature allows it to be opened with a gesture. Inside, you’ll find extra ports for powering electronics, including a wireless charging pad and a 120-volt power outlet. Open up the center console and you can make use of two additional USB ports plus an SD card slot and auxiliary jack. Connect your music to the Blazer using these or a wireless connection, and you’ll be able to enjoy your tunes through the 8-speaker Bose premium audio system.

The infotainment system uses the same touchscreen you’ll find on the other trims, but instead of the base 4.2-inch driver information center behind the wheel, there’s an 8-inch version that makes it easier to see vital information like your speed, fuel status, and driver assist warnings. The infotainment system also includes a connected navigation system with advanced voice recognition, so you don’t have to rely on your phone’s map app to get around. To increase the luxury of these top-tier trims, both also come standard with a heated steering wheel and ambient interior lighting.

How to Choose the Right Trim

When choosing a trim level, it can help to list out what features you really need, what features you want, and what your budget is. Putting these factors together, you should at least be able to narrow your options down. If you’re worried about missing out on a particular feature but can’t afford to upgrade to the next trim level, check out some of the packages available. There are bundles of convenience, safety, style, and other features that can be added to certain trims.
