Used 2021 Chevy Blazer SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Blazer is a five-passenger SUV available in six trim levels: L, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, RS and Premier. Three engines are available: two four-cylinders (one turbocharged) and a V6. All are connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional on the 2LT, 3LT, RS and Premier trims. The Blazer's significant features include:

L
The basic L is usually reserved for fleet sales but includes:

  • 193-horsepower four-cylinder engine
  • 18-inch wheels
  • Six-speaker audio system

  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility
  • Cruise control

2LT
Provides a step up from the 1LT with:

  • 230-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine
  • Forward collision warning (alerts you of a possible collision with the car in front)
  • Automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Lane keeping assist (steers the car back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)

3LT
Tops out the LT range with:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable heated front seats
  • Heated outside mirrors
  • Power liftgate

RS
Adds additional features and a sporty appearance with:

  • 308-hp V6 engine
  • Unique 20-inch black-painted wheels
  • Special black grille and black exterior trim
  • Programmable power liftgate
  • Upgraded touchscreen infotainment with navigation
  • 120-volt power port
  • Heated steering wheel

Premier
Tops out the Blazer with:

  • Upgraded eight-speaker audio system
  • Different 20-inch wheels
  • Cargo management system
  • Driver-seat memory settings
  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable steering column
  • Unique chrome grille and silver exterior trim

Many features from the higher trim levels can be added to the lower trims via various equipment packages. Other significant packages include:

Sound and Technology package
Available on the 3LT, it includes:

  • 8-inch touchscreen with navigation
  • Upgraded eight-speaker audio system
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Blazer and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • 120-volt power outlet

Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II package
Available on the RS, it includes:

  • Heated outboard rear seats
  • Upgraded eight-speaker audio system
  • Driver-seat memory settings
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable steering column

Driver Confidence II package
Adds extra content to the RS and Premier trims with:

  • Wireless device charging
  • Surround-view camera system
  • Rear camera mirror
  • LED headlights
  • Rear-seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Enhanced automatic emergency braking (works at higher speeds than the standard automatic emergency braking system)

Which Blazer trim does Edmunds recommend?

The cost of a 2021 Chevrolet Blazer can escalate quickly. As such, we recommend that you stick with the 2LT trim level. This choice ensures you get the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine as well as the new Chevy Safety Assist package, which bundles popular driver aids such as automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist. To this, we'd add the Convenience and Driver Confidence package, which adds nice-to-have features such as heated seats, a programmable power liftgate, auto-dimming side mirrors and rear cross-traffic alert.
