What transmission does the 2019 Blazer have?
The 2019 Chevrolet Blazer uses a nine-speed automatic transmission across its engine options. No manual option was offered, and the nine-speed auto is paired with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations to deliver smooth shifts and consistent performance.
Transmission basics for the 2019 Blazer
Chevrolet chose a single, modern automatic transmission to underpin all Blazer powertrains. The Hydra-Matic 9-speed automatic is designed to adapt to different driving scenarios, from city commuting to highway cruising.
Engine options and transmission pairing
The Blazer was offered with several engine choices, and all of them were mated to the same nine-speed automatic transmission.
- 2.5-liter four-cylinder — nine-speed automatic
- 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder — nine-speed automatic
- 3.6-liter V6 — nine-speed automatic
In practice, this means buyers could select from multiple powertrains, but still enjoy the same smooth-shifting transmission underneath. The absence of a manual option is notable for buyers who preferred manual control.
Driving dynamics with the nine-speed automatic
With the nine-speed automatic, the Blazer aims for a balance of efficiency and acceleration. In front-wheel-drive configurations, the transmission helps optimize fuel economy, while in all-wheel-drive setups it works with the drive system to maintain confident response in varied conditions.
Summary
The 2019 Blazer’s transmission is a nine-speed automatic across all engine configurations—2.5L I4, 2.0L turbo I4, and 3.6L V6—paired with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. This setup prioritizes smooth shifts and adaptable performance for a mid-size crossover experience.
