If you’re shopping for a midsize SUV, you have a lot of great options. The 2026 Chevy Blazer and 2026 Mazda CX-50 are both excellent picks. Let’s go through the specs of each to determine how they stack up.
The Blazer comes in three trim levels, ranging from the economical 2LT model to the top-of-the-line RS. The CX-50 comes in seven configurations, from the entry-level 2.5 S Select to the well-equipped 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer somewhere in the middle, so let’s examine the standard features of the 2026 Chevy Blazer 3LT FWD versus the 2026 Mazda CX-50 2.5 S Premium Plus.
Vehicle Details
The Blazer is equipped with a powerful 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine, delivering 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. 9-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and driver shift control makes for a great driving experience. With an estimated fuel economy of 22 MPG city / 29 MPG highway, the Blazer strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The CX-50 has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine under the hood for 187 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque. Featuring a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and an estimated 24 MPG city / 31 MPG highway, the CX-50 is also a practical option.
On the whole, both the Blazer and CX-50 are more than serviceable performers in most conditions.
The Chevy Blazer is equipped with an impressive array of safety features. Standard driver-assistance features include HD rear vision camera, forward collision alert, rear park assist, automatic emergency braking, lane change assist with blind zone alert, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, and more.
The Mazda CX-50 also doesn’t kid around when it comes to safety. The CX-50 comes with a driver assist package that includes blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, driver attention alert, and more.
If you like an inviting interior with modern amenities, you’ll probably like the Blazer. Step inside to discover an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, perforated leather-appointed trim, universal home remote, dual-zone automatic climate control and more. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, and a 10.2-inch HD multi-touch display, and too many amenities to list here.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the CX-50’s interior. With 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, leather trim, power sliding-glass moonroof, and dual-zone automatic climate control, the cabin is both comfortable and functional. 12-speaker Bose sound system, 10.25-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and more comprise a serviceable infotainment setup.
Chevrolet is acclaimed for iconic American styling, craftsmanship, value, and power. The 2026 Blazer is a perfect example. The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is also very well equipped. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Chevy Blazer takes the win.
