Why choose the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer for your Davenport commute?
You need an SUV that handles I-74 traffic and weekend trips to Bettendorf or Rock Island with confidence. The 2026 Blazer brings two robust powertrains: a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder (228 hp, 258 lb-ft torque) and a 3.6L V6 (308 hp, 270 lb-ft torque). Both deliver responsive acceleration whether you merge onto Kimberly Road or head toward Cedar Rapids. Paired with a smooth 9-speed automatic and available advanced twin-clutch AWD on RS trim, it stays planted during Iowa snow.
EPA estimates reach 26 mpg highway for V6 (FWD) and up to 29 mpg highway on the turbo. That means fewer stops at the pump around the Quad Cities.
How does the Blazer keep you connected and safe every day?
Standard 10.2-inch HD touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get remote start, available wireless charging, and an available Bose premium audio system. But the real story is safety: every Blazer includes Chevy Safety Assist (automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist, following distance indicator, automatic high beams) plus the Driver Confidence Package with Lane Change Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
That’s confidence when you're parking near NorthPark Mall or backing out on a busy street in Moline.
