2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

<p>The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer is a 2-row midsize SUV with a sporty edge, responsive handling, and two engine options.</p>


Cons

<ul>
<li>Some cost-cutting cabin materials</li>
<li>Cargo space lacking</li>
</ul>


Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

<p>The Blazer’s core powertrain is a 228-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is available on every trim.</p>
<p>The turbocharged 4-cylinder suits the Blazer’s weight, delivering a zero-to-60-mph time just over six seconds and plenty of passing power.</p>
<p>Steering feels well weighted, and while no midsize SUV is a sports car, the Blazer corners with more confidence than most, and the braking inspires trust. The suspension strikes a sweet balance, being soft enough for comfort, yet firm enough to stay composed in quick corners.</p>
<p>The Blazer’s cabin is quiet, though not quite luxury-vehicle quiet, thanks to active noise cancellation, which does an admirable job on wind and road noise.</p>
<p>The available V6 is an option only with the RS trim. It transforms the Blazer from sporty to genuinely quick. The bigger engine is certainly a worthy upgrade for some, but most buyers will be happy with the 4-cylinder.</p>
<p><strong>Fuel Economy</strong></p>
<p>EPA ratings for front-wheel-drive, 4-cylinder Blazers: 22 mpg city/29 highway/25 combined. All-wheel drive drops those figures to 22/27/24.</p>
<p>The V6 reduces efficiency, but not too much: front-wheel drive gets 19/26/22, and all-wheel drive nets 18/26/21.</p>


Muscular Exterior

Exterior

<p>Chevy borrowed from the sporty and aggressive Camaro design language for the Blazer’s exterior look. While rivals chase rugged, boxy styling, the Blazer remains the sportiest-looking midsize two-row SUV at non-luxury prices.</p>


FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

<p><strong>10.2-inch infotainment system</strong><br />
Average size these days, but Chevy’s interface is intuitive. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard.</p>
<p><strong>Standard remote start</strong><br />
Every Blazer trim includes it — rare in this segment and a lifesaver in cold climates.</p>
<p><strong>Chevy Safety Assist</strong><br />
Standard suite includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, following distance indicator, and auto high beams. Options add adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.</p>
<p><strong>Two engine options</strong><br />
Few rivals offer a choice. A V6 is starting to become a rarity in this segment, and we appreciate that there&#8217;s still one available in the Blazer.</p>
<p><strong>Sporty RS trim</strong><br />
The Blazer’s bold look gets backup from an optional 308-hp V6, blacked-out emblems, unique wheels, and black leather with red accents.</p>
<p><strong>Midnight Edition</strong><br />
The Midnight Edition adds black trim and wheels, bringing a darker aesthetic to the stylish Chevy Blazer.</p>


Comfortable Interior

Interior

<p>Most trims feature a traditional gauge cluster, but the RS adds a digital display. A 10.2-inch touchscreen sits high on the dash for infotainment, with separate climate controls below — no hunting through menus to change the temp.</p>
<p>Many new models merge multiple screens into one wide panel, but we like Chevy’s split setup. It keeps everything visible and easy to reach, and your hands don’t block your view of important information.</p>
<p>Chevy may have retired the Camaro, but its design DNA lives on here. Turbine-style vents add flair, and RS trims tint them to match interior accents.</p>
<p>Rear-seat space beats the Chevy Equinox, with standout legroom. Sunroof-equipped models offer better headroom than many rivals, which is handy if you’re hauling adults or taller teens often.</p>
<p>Our main gripe? Cargo space. At 30.5 cu ft behind the second row, the Blazer ranks near the bottom of its class. Fold the seats and there’s plenty of space, but most competitors offer more room with seats up.</p>


Is the YMM a Good Vehicle?

Is the YMM Reliable?

KBB Editors' Overview

<p>In a class where most designs blur together, the Blazer stands out. Its lines borrow heavily from Chevy’s sports cars, and though this look debuted in 2019, it still feels fresh — especially as rivals chase boxy, off-road vibes. Inside, you’ll find an intuitive infotainment system, and if you want more muscle, there’s an optional V6.</p>
<p>Cargo space? That’s where the Blazer comes up short. A Honda Passport or even a Toyota RAV4 will haul more. But passenger space in both rows is generous.</p>
<p>The midsize 2-row SUV field is crowded with solid choices, but the Blazer is among the most stylish options.</p>
<p>Chevy also offers an all-electric Blazer EV, which <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/blazer-ev/">we review separately</a>.</p>
<p><em>We’ve logged hundreds of hours behind the wheel of this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Blazer.</em></p>

Pricing - Static

<p>The base 2LT is the best-selling trim, and it comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control with rear vents, and heated front seats, plenty of tech and comfort for most buyers. If you’re looking for leather seating, that’s reserved for the RS, which has an optional V6.</p>
<p>The Blazer sits toward the lower end of segment pricing, with rivals often costing thousands more.</p>
<p>Before you buy a new midsize SUV, check Kelley Blue Book’s Fair Purchase Price. The Blazer’s resale value is below average. The Honda Passport, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Toyota 4Runner hold value better, and that matters when it’s time to trade in.</p>

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

<p>Chevrolet gives Blazer buyers two engine choices, both paired with a 9-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available with either engine.</p>
<p>The 228-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder is the volume seller and the right pick for most. It delivers easy cruising and solid fuel economy without breaking a sweat.</p>
<p>Want more punch? The 308-hp V6 is your ticket. It costs more and sips a bit more fuel, so it’s best for those who value speed enough to accept the tradeoffs.</p>
<h3><strong>3-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</strong></h3>
<p>Chevy’s coverage is typical for a mainstream brand. The bumper-to-bumper warranty runs three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. The powertrain gets five years or 60,000 miles. Scheduled maintenance is covered for the first year, but don’t weigh that heavily, as modern cars need little service early on, so the savings are minimal.</p>
<h3><strong>Safety Ratings</strong></h3>
<p>The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>) gave the 2025 Blazer its top overall score of 5 Stars, and the 2026 model is essentially identical, so it should also fare well. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>) hasn’t fully tested the latest models yet, but the mechanically identical 2024 earned “Good” marks.</p>


What's new for

<p>The Chevy Blazer drops the Premier trim level for 2026. Also, the turbo 4-cylinder engine is now standard on every trim. The available V6 is now exclusively optional in the RS trim, where it used to be standard.</p>

<p>The Kia Sorento PHEV is a safe and practical 3-row family SUV that can travel up to 31 miles on electricity alone.</p>


<ul>
<li>Fuel cost estimates similar to standard hybrid Sorento</li>
</ul>


<p>The Kia Sorento PHEV is propelled by a 261-horsepower plug-in hybrid setup employing a 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). Although it has a bit more muscle than the regular Sorento Hybrid (34 more horses, 12 more lb-ft of torque), acceleration is similar due to the weight of the larger battery.</p>
<p>Even so, zipping from a standstill to 60 mph in about 8.6 seconds is quick enough for confident highway merging and passing. In our experience, it feels lively from behind the wheel. Should potential buyers think they need more thrust, the Mazda CX-90 PHEV develops 323 hp and hits 60 mph at least two seconds sooner.</p>
<p>In electric driving, the Sorento PHEV accelerates smoothly and quietly. In hybrid mode, power delivery and braking feel aren’t quite as steady and seamless as we’ve experienced in the 2-row <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4-plug-in-hybrid/">Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid</a>, but that’s a high bar. Overall, we’ve found the Sorento PHEV responsive around town and comfortable on the highway.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>The Sorento PHEV can run for 31 miles using just electricity. When the battery is depleted, it achieves 33 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That’s pretty good, but the regular Sorento Hybrid, which doesn’t plug in, gets 37 combined mpg with front-wheel drive (FWD) and 34 combined mpg with all-wheel drive.</p>
<p>Whether the Sorento PHEV brings significant fuel savings compared to the Sorento Hybrid depends on how often you use the gas engine. According to EPA estimates, the PHEV only saves you about $20/month compared to the conventional all-wheel-drive hybrid, but your fuel costs can vary greatly with driving habits and the costs of energy and gas in your area.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is the total range, if that’s important to you. With a full battery and a full tank of gas, the Sorento PHEV goes 440 miles, while the Sorento Hybrid traverses 637 miles with a full gas tank.</p>


Modern Exterior

<p>We like the contemporary aesthetic of the Kia Sorento PHEV, which looks rugged without going overboard. This year, the SX Prestige trim gets the X-Line appearance package, which adds stylish black wheels and black exterior accents.</p>


<p><strong>Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</strong><br />
Cable-free phone integration is standard in both Sorento PHEV trims, and we love the convenience and tidiness of this feature. Wireless charging is also on board.</p>
<p><strong>Infotainment system</strong><br />
The standard 12.3-inch display in the Sorento PHEV is feature-rich and user-friendly. The SX Prestige takes the tech to the next level with a curved display, adding a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Power Tailgate</strong><br />
Imagine walking up to your locked Sorento PHEV, hands full of shopping, kids, accordions, whatever. Stand by the smart tailgate for three seconds (while having the key in a pocket or purse) and it will open automatically, then close with the touch of a button. It’s a standard item and, again, we’re all for making life easier.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Cruise Control</strong><br />
More than adaptive cruise control, machine learning means it can adapt to and emulate driving styles. We’ve found it to feel quite natural.</p>
<p><strong>Highway Driving Assist 2</strong><br />
Installed in the SX Prestige trim, this helps alleviate the fatigue of long freeway stretches by keeping the Sorento Hybrid in its lane, maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, and assisting with lane-changing maneuvers. Stay alert; you still have to keep a hand on the wheel and your eyes on the road.</p>
<p><strong>Blind-Spot View Monitor</strong><br />
This SX Prestige feature shows real-time video in the driver information display, with more detail than regular blind-spot monitoring can convey. In our opinion, greater awareness of surroundings can only be a good thing.</p>


3-Row Interior

<p>We like the Sorento PHEV’s generally pleasant cabin, with its fine materials and well-placed controls. The simulated leather seating surfaces in the EX feel sufficiently premium, while the higher SX Prestige trim offers genuine leather.</p>
<p>The cabin&#8217;s centerpiece is a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The SX Prestige gains a dual 12.3-inch setup in a single curved unit, the other screen serving as a digital instrument cluster. We&#8217;ve consistently praised Kia’s infotainment system for its quality graphics, modern features, and user-friendly controls, and the Sorento PHEV&#8217;s screen is no exception.</p>
<p>As with the standard Sorento Hybrid, this year the Sorento PHEV offers a bench seat in the second row, which means total seating for up to seven people. Second-row captain’s chairs are now optional on the EX trim and remain standard in the SX Premium. This setup reduces total seating capacity to six, but captain&#8217;s chairs are more comfortable than a 3-across bench seat, and they make the third row easier to access.</p>
<p>Passenger space is generous in the first two rows, with plenty of legroom and headroom. The third row is a kids-only zone, though, with just 29.6 inches of legroom. If you plan to use the third row on a regular basis, we highly recommend looking into the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/telluride/">Kia Telluride</a> or the electric <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev9/">Kia EV9</a>.</p>
<p>Cargo space is tight when all three rows are in place, only 12.6 cubic feet behind the rearmost seats. This opens out to 38.5 cubic feet behind row two when they’re folded. With rows two and three down, there’s an ample 75.5 cubic feet. This cargo volume is very similar to that of the Mazda CX-90 PHEV.</p>


<p>The Kia Sorento is one of the few SUVs from a mass-market brand that’s available with a regular gas engine, a conventional hybrid powertrain, or a plug-in hybrid arrangement. When there&#8217;s juice in the battery, the Sorento PHEV has the highest efficiency rating of the bunch. It’s capable of traveling up to 31 miles on electricity alone, making it great for anyone who can benefit from 3-row seating but doesn’t travel very far very often. When those longer trips do come up, this SUV is still impressively efficient and comfortable. We review the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">non-hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento-hybrid/">conventional hybrid</a> Sorento variants separately.</p>
<p><em>We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/phev/best-phev-suvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PHEV SUVs</a>, including the Kia Sorento PHEV.</em></p>


<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV starts at $49,735 for the base EX trim. The upper X-Line SX Prestige model begins at $54,935.</p>

<p>Kia Sorento PHEV pricing is close to what might be its closest competitor: the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-90-phev/">Mazda CX-90 PHEV</a>. A more affordable option is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mitsubishi/outlander-phev/">Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV</a>.</p>
<p>Before buying a Sorento PHEV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia Sorento PHEV resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.</p>

<p>The 2026 Sorento PHEV employs a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine and two electric motors to create an ample 261 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This thrust goes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to a standard all-wheel-drive system.</p>
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>Kia has some of the best warranties. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, including roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) has named the Kia Sorento a Top Safety Pick, the agency’s second-highest accolade. Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, pedestrian/cyclist detection, and junction turning assistance.</p>


<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento PHEV adds the X-Line appearance package with black wheels and blacked-out exterior trim on the top SX Prestige trim. Also, all all-wheel-drive-equipped models of both the HEV and PHEV now come with a Terrain drive mode. Another update is a standard charging cable that works for both Level 1 and Level 2 charging.</p>


2026 Kia Sorento Plug-in Hybrid Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

2026Kia Sorento Hybrid

2026Kia Sorento Hybrid Archives - Kelley Blue Book

<p>The safe and efficient Kia Sorento Hybrid with class-leading warranty coverage is a smart buy among hybrid family haulers.</p>


<ul>
<li>Only two trims</li>
<li>Small third row</li>
</ul>


<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid is powered by a 227-horsepower hybrid turbo 4-cylinder engine matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).</p>
<p>We’re impressed by the lively acceleration of the Sorento Hybrid, which is noticeably quicker than the non-hybrid with its base engine. We’ve found that it’s well-suited for running around town yet gets up to freeway speeds quickly enough. Even overtaking moves are carried out with hardly any effort.</p>
<p>The suspension, steering, and braking all contribute to a comfortable and competent driving experience. The Sorento Hybrid is so smooth and quiet, in fact, that we almost forgot it was a hybrid while we were testing it. The transition from electric power to the gasoline engine joining in is just seamless.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>The Kia Sorento Hybrid gets up to 37 city/36 highway/37 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 32 city/35 highway/34 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. These ratings are about the same as other hybrids in this class, like the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and Toyota Highlander Hybrid.</p>
<p>For reference, the non-hybrid Kia Sorento returns up to 23 city/31 highway/26 combined mpg. According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the fuel savings of the hybrid versus the non-hybrid amount to approximately $45/month.</p>


<p>We like the contemporary aesthetic of the Kia Sorento Hybrid, which looks rugged without going overboard. This year, the SX Prestige trim gets the X-Line appearance package, which adds stylish black wheels and black exterior accents.</p>


<p><strong>Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto</strong><br />
Cable-free phone integration is standard in both Sorento Hybrid trims. We love the convenience and tidiness. Wireless charging is on board, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Infotainment system</strong><br />
The standard 12.3-inch display in the Sorento Hybrid is feature-rich and user-friendly. The SX Prestige takes the tech to the next level with a curved display, adding a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Power Tailgate</strong><br />
Imagine walking up to your locked Sorento Hybrid, hands full of shopping, kids, accordions, whatever. Stand by the smart tailgate for three seconds (while having the key in a pocket or purse) and it will open automatically, then close with the touch of a button. It’s a standard item and, again, we’re all for making life easier.</p>
<p><strong>Smart Cruise Control</strong><br />
More than just adaptive cruise control, machine learning means it can adapt to driving styles and emulate them. We’ve found it to feel quite natural.</p>
<p><strong>Highway Driving Assist 2</strong><br />
Installed in the SX Prestige trim, this helps alleviate the fatigue of long freeway stretches by keeping the Sorento Hybrid in its lane, maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, and assisting with lane-changing maneuvers. Stay alert; you still have to keep a hand on the wheel and your eyes on the road.</p>
<p><strong>Blind-Spot View Monitor</strong><br />
This SX Prestige feature shows real-time video in the driver information display, with more detail than regular blind-spot monitoring can convey. In our opinion, greater awareness of surroundings can only be a good thing.</p>


<p>We like the Sorento Hybrid’s generally pleasant cabin, with its fine materials and well-placed controls. The simulated leather seating surfaces in the EX feel sufficiently premium. The higher SX Prestige trim brings genuine perforated leather.</p>
<p>The cabin&#8217;s centerpiece is a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The SX Prestige gains a dual 12.3-inch setup in a single curved unit, the other screen serving as a digital instrument cluster. We&#8217;ve consistently praised Kia’s infotainment system for its quality graphics, modern features, and user-friendly controls, and the Sorento Hybrid’s screen is no exception.</p>
<p>A welcome update to the 2026 Kia Sorento is the introduction of a bench second-row seat, giving the standard configuration seven seats. Second-row captain’s chairs, which make the second row more comfortable and the third row easier to access, are optional on EX and standard on SX Prestige.</p>
<p>Passenger space is generous in the first two rows, with plenty of legroom and headroom. The third row is a kids-only zone, though, with just 29.6 inches of legroom. If you plan to use the third row on a regular basis, we highly recommend looking into the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/telluride/">Kia Telluride</a> or the electric <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/ev9/">Kia EV9</a>.</p>
<p>Cargo space is tight when all three rows are in place &#8212; only 12.6 cubic feet behind the rearmost seats. This opens out to 38.5 cubic feet behind row two when they’re folded. With rows two and three down, there’s an ample 75.5 cubic feet. We should point out that the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is more capacious in all three respects. At least these dimensions are the same as the non-hybrid Sorento, so there’s no compromise here in choosing this more fuel-efficient model.</p>


<p>Hybrid powertrains are becoming increasingly popular options in midsize SUVs, and one that’s been around for a while now is the Kia Sorento Hybrid. Still fresh from a makeover in 2025, the 2026 model gets even better, with an increased seating capacity of up to seven. Meanwhile, it gets the basics right, like good fuel economy (up to 37 mpg), class-leading warranty coverage, and great safety ratings that families demand. There are also <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento/">non-hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sorento-plug-in-hybrid/">plug-in hybrid</a> versions of the Kia Sorento, which we review separately.</p>
<p><em>We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-suvs/">hybrid SUVs</a>, including the Kia Sorento Hybrid.</em></p>


<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid starts at $40,335 for the EX model with front-wheel drive (FWD). The top SX Prestige trim kicks off at $48,635.</p>

<p>The Sorento Hybrid&#8217;s pricing is about average for a hybrid 3-row SUV this size. It&#8217;s between the cheaper <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/santa-fe-hybrid/">Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid</a> and the pricier <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/highlander-hybrid/">Toyota Highlander Hybrid</a>.</p>
<p>Before buying a Sorento Hybrid, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Kia Sorento Hybrid resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.</p>

<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid employs a turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and two electric motors to create a total of 227 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This goes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to either the front wheels — the standard configuration in the EX — or all four, which is optional with the EX or standard in the top SX Prestige trim.</p>
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>Kia has some of the best warranties. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first — this includes roadside assistance. Powertrains are covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>The Kia Sorento has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>), the agency’s second-highest accolade. It also scored the top 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, plus junction turning assistance.</p>


<p>The 2026 Kia Sorento Hybrid has a redesigned steering wheel and a newly standard second-row bench seat. That means it can now seat up to seven people. A 6-seat setup with second-row captain’s chairs is still optional.</p>
<p>Another update is the X-Line appearance package with black wheels and blacked-out exterior trim on the top SX Prestige trim. Also, all-wheel-drive-equipped models now come with a Terrain drive mode.</p>
