2026 Chevrolet Blazer: Roslyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer at a Glance
Three trims for 2026: 2LT starts at $34,300, 3LT at $39,700, RS at $43,600, plus a $1,995 destination charge on every one of them — before Nassau County adds its own share in tax. Every trim, 2LT included, comes standard with the 228-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and a 9-speed automatic; RS is the only place a 308-hp V6 shows up as an option. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available across the board, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work on every trim — not held back for the top of the range. East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn's Google reviews run right around 4.8 stars across roughly 960 of them, and the Blazer shows up by name often.
First, make sure it's the right Blazer
Chevy currently sells two vehicles with "Blazer" in the name, and they don't share much beyond it. This page is about the gas one — 2LT, 3LT, RS, a turbocharged four-cylinder standard and a V6 available on the top trim. The Blazer EV is a separate model built on its own platform, with its own trim names, its own pricing, and a Google-built infotainment system that doesn't run Apple CarPlay or Android Auto at all. The gas Blazer goes the other way on that point: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, even on the $34,300 base 2LT. Worth double-checking which one you're actually reading about if a search result or a friend's recommendation mentioned "the Blazer" without specifying.
Underneath, it's a fairly simple lineup to reason about. 2LT and 3LT both run the same 2.0-liter turbo four: 228 horsepower, 258 lb-ft, nine-speed automatic, front-wheel drive standard with all-wheel drive available as an upgrade. RS is where a second engine enters the picture — a 3.6-liter V6 making 308 hp and 270 lb-ft, available on RS only. Towing climbs from 3,250 lbs on the turbo four to 4,500 lbs with the V6. There's also a quieter distinction buried in the AWD hardware: 2LT and 3LT get Chevy's standard all-wheel-drive system, while an AWD RS (or any V6 RS) gets a more sophisticated setup called Advanced Twin-Clutch AWD. Same badge on the back of the car, two different systems underneath it.

What Roslyn Blazer buyers actually say
East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn sits close to 4.8 stars across nearly a thousand Google reviews, and the Blazer name comes up often enough in them to be worth reading through. Sierra Stokes made her first Chevy purchase a Blazer and came away impressed with how the whole process went: "From the moment I arrived, Gary, my sales associate, provided professional, attentive, and knowledgeable service, ensuring that every detail of the process was handled with care and transparency. He was punctual, straightforward, and honest, with no hidden fees or unnecessary pressure." Ken Terzi's version is shorter but says the same thing a different way: "Just picked up my new Blazer today. Working with Mike Granito made everything easy. Got a great deal." Reading enough of these, a pattern shows up — the same handful of names (Gary, Mike G., Gus, Ricardo, Diego) turning up again and again across years of independent reviews, which tends to mean a sales team that sticks around rather than turns over every season.
Living with a Blazer on Long Island
Oil-change intervals, what Nassau County's inspection requirement means for a brand-new SUV, how road salt treats a car over a Long Island winter — all of that is covered on the service & repair guide. What one of these actually costs to drive home, Nassau County's 8.625% tax included, is broken out on the pricing & leasing guide.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 2026 Chevy Blazer any good?
For what it's built to be — a two-row midsize SUV, not trying to be a three-row hauler — yes. The turbo four on 2LT and 3LT is competent rather than exciting. RS with the V6 has noticeably more personality. Standard wireless CarPlay and the full Chevy Safety Assist suite on every trim, including the base one, is a genuine advantage over rivals that still charge extra for either. None of that substitutes for an actual test drive at East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn, back to back with whatever else is on the shortlist.
Is Chevy discontinuing the Blazer?
No, though it's an easy question to get a wrong answer to. Chevy has confirmed there won't be a 2027 model year for the gas Blazer — 2026 simply carries forward an extra year, with a fuller refresh reportedly targeted for 2028. That's not the same thing as discontinuing it. If anything it means a 2026 Blazer bought today isn't about to sit next to a "new" 2027 version that was never coming.
Is the 2026 Blazer larger than the 2026 Equinox?
Yes. Longer wheelbase, more cabin room, more cargo space. Equinox is the smaller, more budget-oriented SUV a step below it in Chevy's lineup. Most people cross-shopping the two are really weighing price against size, and the only way to know for sure which trade-off wins is sitting in both.
What's the actual difference between the standard engine and the V6?
2LT and 3LT run the base 2.0-liter turbo — 228 hp, 258 lb-ft. RS starts with that same engine, then offers the 3.6-liter V6 as a step up: 308 hp, 270 lb-ft, and towing that climbs from 3,250 to 4,500 lbs. So four-cylinder versus V6 isn't a lineup-wide choice. It only comes up once you're already choosing RS.
Where can I see all three trims in person?
East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn's new-vehicle inventory is the fastest way to check what's actually on the lot. Stock shifts week to week, so a quick call ahead saves a wasted trip if a specific trim or engine matters.
A dealership with a long Roslyn track record
Nearly a thousand Google reviews and a rating that holds close to 4.8 stars is hard to fake, and a good number of those reviews describe repeat customers — people back for a second or third lease, working with the same salesperson each time. That kind of continuity says something about a dealership. Current Blazer stock sits at East Hills Chevrolet of Roslyn alongside the rest of the new lineup, with a trade-in appraisal and a Blazer test drive handled in the same visit if that's part of the plan.
