The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer AWD 2.0L gets 24 MPG combined, which may not be class-leading, but it’s an acceptable trade-off for buyers who want a stylish, capable, and comfortably sized SUV with all-wheel drive. This Blazer prioritizes practicality, curb appeal, and confidence in bad weather, appealing to suburban families and active individuals. These buyers value a surefooted driving experience over maximum fuel savings, understanding that the 2.0L turbo engine and AWD system affect fuel efficiency.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates break down the Blazer’s fuel consumption further. The 22 MPG city rating reflects the lower efficiency of stop-and-go driving, where the engine spends more time idling and accelerating. The 27 MPG highway figure is more promising, showing how the 9-speed automatic transmission helps the engine cruise at lower RPMs at speed. These numbers suggest the Blazer is reasonably well-suited for mixed driving, but those who primarily commute in cities will likely see numbers closer to 22 MPG.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost at $1,800. This is based on driving 15,000 miles per year, using EPA’s projected fuel prices. Your personal fuel cost could be higher or lower depending on your driving habits, mileage, and gasoline prices in your area. While it’s a useful benchmark, don’t consider it a definitive prediction of your expenses. Shoppers can use this information to see all Chevrolet fuel economy data on our site.

Real-world expectations

Real-world fuel economy often differs from EPA estimates, which provide a standardized baseline. Aggressive driving, heavy loads, and extreme weather can all decrease fuel consumption. Tire pressure and using accessories like air conditioning can also affect MPG. Owners should expect some variation in their MPG. Comparing notes with other Blazer owners can provide a clearer picture of what’s realistically achievable in daily driving. You can also check out the BLAZER MPG across all years on our site.

How it compares

The Blazer’s fuel economy is competitive for its class. The Honda Passport, with AWD, typically gets around 21 MPG combined. The Toyota Venza, a hybrid, gets significantly better MPG in the high 30s, but has less cargo space. A Mazda CX-5 with its standard 2.5L engine and AWD achieves 26 MPG combined, slightly better than the Blazer. These vehicles offer different advantages. The Blazer has bolder styling, the Venza prioritizes less gas, and the Passport has more cargo space. The buyer must decide what is most important.

Tips to maximize efficiency

The 2.0L turbo engine works best with smooth, gradual acceleration. Avoid using hard acceleration that forces the engine to work harder and burn more fuel. Anticipate traffic and maintain a steady speed when possible to reduce acceleration and braking.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, which lowers fuel economy. Check your tire pressure regularly and inflate them to the recommended pressure on the sticker inside the driver’s side doorjamb.

Reduce extra weight in the vehicle. Extra cargo adds stress to the engine and reduces fuel efficiency. Remove any unnecessary items from the trunk and passenger area.

Avoid using cruise control in hilly areas. Cruise control tries to maintain a constant speed, even when climbing hills, and the transmission may downshift, making the engine work harder. Drive manually to adjust your speed and maintain momentum.

Minimize idling. If you’re stopped for more than a minute, turn off the engine. Modern engines can handle frequent restarts without problems. Idling uses fuel without moving the vehicle.
