The upcoming generation of the Chevrolet Blazer will be sporting a new engine for the 2020 model year – a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine.
The 2020 Chevy Blazer is only the model’s second generation, but it sure packs a punch under the hood with the new engine estimated to make 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Fans of the previous engines, however, need not worry as the Blazer will continue to offer the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four that makes 193 horsepower as well as the 3.6-liter V-6 with 308 horsepower next year.
Like the two other engines, the new turbo-four will be mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with stop-start capability. But while the two older engines are only offered in front-wheel drive, the new 2.0-liter inline-four will be offered in both front- and all-wheel drives. It will also be a standard on the 2LT and 3LT trim levels, while the Blazer L and LT will only have the 2.5-liter engine, and the 3.6-liter V-6 for the Blazer RS and Premier models.
As it is still under development, the brand has not yet released pricing and fuel economy ratings for the new engine.
The 2020 Chevy Blazer is expected to fall within the $35,000 range considering that the current front-wheel driver Blazer 2LT with a V-6 engine starts at $34,495.
Fuel economy, meanwhile, is estimated between 22 and 24 mpg combined, which are the mileage ratings for the 3.6L and 2.5L Blazer, respectively.
The new Blazer models will start arriving in dealerships in October, with pricing lists expected to be available within the next couple of months.
