Is Chevrolet Blazer petrol or diesel?
The modern Chevrolet Blazer is powered by petrol (gasoline) engines in its current lineup, with no diesel option offered in the United States and most major markets. In short, it runs on gasoline.
Two gasoline engine options are available: a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and optional all-wheel drive. There is no official diesel variant in the latest generation of the Blazer in North America as of 2025.
Current engine options
The following are the gasoline engines you can typically choose from for the Blazer in North America, along with a sense of their performance and intended use.
- 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 gasoline engine: about 230 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
- 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 gasoline engine: about 308 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Both engine options are petrol/gasoline, and neither is diesel. The Blazer’s current lineup emphasizes performance and versatility with gasoline power, not diesel.
Regional availability and historical context
Chevrolet’s Blazer has been sold in multiple markets, but the current generation in North America does not list a diesel variant. Availability and specifications can differ by region, but diesel Blazer models are not part of the official US/Canada lineup for the latest generation.
Diesel availability by region
As of the latest model year, there is no official diesel Blazer offered in the primary markets where the vehicle is sold in large volumes. If a future export or regional variant is introduced, Chevrolet would announce it through regional dealers and official communications.
What this means for buyers
For buyers looking for a Blazer, the choice is gasoline-powered performance. If fuel economy or lower emissions are a priority, the 2.0L turbo offers efficient acceleration, while the 3.6L V6 delivers stronger off-the-line performance.
There is no diesel option to consider in the current lineup, so buyers seeking diesel must consider alternative models or brands that offer diesel SUVs in their regions.
Summary
The Chevrolet Blazer in its current form is petrol-powered, with two gasoline engine options—2.0L turbo and 3.6L V6—and no official diesel variant in North America as of 2025. Buyers should choose based on performance needs and fuel considerations, with gasoline engines providing a balance of power and efficiency for everyday driving.
