2026 Chevrolet Blazer vs the Competition

With a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine, Jeep’s mid-size two-row SUV has been revised with a few new details. It remains one of the choices in this segment, thanks to its spacious cargo area and the inherent agility expected from a Jeep. The Grand Cherokee comes with rear or four-wheel drive.

• The Blazer’s V6 is more powerful than the optional V6 on the Grand Cherokee – 306 horsepower vs. 293 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque vs 257 pound-feet of torque.
• The Blazer comes standard with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. To get their turbocharged four-cylinder, you have to upgrade to the Grand Cherokee’s next tier of trim levels for almost $10,000 more.
• Rear seat legroom is more generous in the Blazer compared to the Grand Cherokee – 39.6 inches vs. 38.2 inches.
• With OnStar, you are a button away from help, whether you are in a collision or need assistance with your vehicle. This feature is not available on the Jeep, along with the vast array of services available through OnStar.
• When it comes to value, the Blazer is priced $4,000 less than the Grand Cherokee.

The main selling point of this mid-size two-row SUV is its abundance of passenger and cargo space. It is also available with a plug-in hybrid driveline, featuring two inline turbocharged six-cylinder engines. The CX-70 is available only with all-wheel drive.

• On the Blazer, the infotainment system is a full touchscreen. You have partial touch interactivity with the CX-70, while most controls are operated via a knob on the center console.
• Compared to the overall size of the CX-70, the Blazer offers a shorter length and wheelbase for more maneuverability around town, on the highway, and in parking spaces.
• With OnStar, you are a button away from help, whether you are in a collision or need assistance with your vehicle. This feature is not available on the CX-70.
