What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Blazer?

At 68.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price looks unusually attractive. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, and any evidence that the vehicle’s condition doesn’t match the seller’s description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base L and 1LT trims are the most stripped-down, while the 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier bring more equipment and a more polished feel. The lower trims are where you’re most likely to notice feature gaps.
• Powertrain: The lineup includes a 2.5-liter inline-four, a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, and a 3.6-liter V6, all paired with a nine-speed automatic. The base engine is the weakest choice, while the V6 is the preferred option for stronger performance.
• Safety package: Driver assists include forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. These features are standard on most trims except the L and 1LT, and the more advanced enhanced emergency braking is reserved for top trims with the Driver Confidence II package.
• Infotainment: Every Blazer gets an 8-inch touchscreen with Chevrolet Infotainment 3, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Plus version adds navigation with traffic, 4G WiFi, onboard apps, better voice recognition, and two-phone pairing.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD V6 returns 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, while the AWD turbo inline-four is rated at 22/27/24.

Which 2021 Chevrolet Blazer trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer is offered in 5 trim levels: L, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, RS.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the entry point, but it is the least compelling choice because the base engine is underpowered and the equipment level is sparse. It makes sense only if you are chasing the lowest possible price.
• 1LT: This trim adds a little more everyday usability, but it still sits too close to the base model for most shoppers. If you want the Blazer’s style without stretching too far, this is still not the best value.
• 2LT: This is the best-value trim for most buyers because it moves you past the weakest engine and into a more balanced setup. It is the smart starting point if you want the Blazer’s look and better capability without paying for the top trims.
• 3LT: This trim builds on the 2LT with more content and a more upscale feel, making it a better fit if you want extra comfort and convenience. It is worth considering if you plan to keep the vehicle longer and want a more complete package.
• RS: This is the enthusiast choice, with the strongest performance character and the most engaging driving experience. If you care most about style and handling, this is the trim that best matches the Blazer’s personality.

The safety package is not standard on the L and 1LT, so shoppers who want the full driver-assistance suite should look higher in the lineup.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Blazer?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,131 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.50% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 68.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,417, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer's resale value?

The current average of $20,417 sits slightly below last year's $22,814.

That decline suggests the Blazer has become more affordable for used buyers, which can help demand in the short term. For a future seller, it also means you may need to price competitively if you want to move the vehicle quickly.

The good news is that the Blazer’s strong owner satisfaction can help support demand over time, especially for shoppers who value its styling and driving feel. If you keep the vehicle in good condition and maintain it well, that can help protect its appeal in the used market.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer safe?

The 2021 Chevrolet Blazer earns five-star ratings from NHTSA overall and in all three crash tests, with four-star ratings for the front passenger in the frontal crash and for rollover.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

The Blazer includes forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams on most trims, while the more advanced enhanced emergency braking is limited to top trims with the Driver Confidence II package. It also has a driver’s knee airbag, but GM’s inboard side airbag is not offered, and rear emergency braking is not available.

IIHS gave the Blazer top Good ratings in all crash tests, but its headlight results were Marginal and Poor, which is the main safety caveat to keep in mind.

Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Blazer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.50% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2021 stands out for its easy-to-use technology and strong handling.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,950, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $20,417 average.
• It adds more cargo space and remains focused on pavement use.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2021 is the stronger buy because prices have eased and inventory is available. If you are willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2022 is the cleaner alternative, but the 2021 still offers the more attractive price-to-personality balance.
