2021 GMC Terrain vs. 2021 Chevy Blazer: Performance & Efficiency

While towing capacity and engine output are important considerations, fuel efficiency is often a key factor for many Sherwood Park drivers like you. Although the Chevy Blazer comes with a more powerful base engine, it can’t compete when it comes to the fuel economy offered by the Terrain. Take a look at the Blazer vs. Terrain performance specs below:

Chevy Blazer

• Base Engine: 2.0L Turbo 4-cylinder engine

• Horsepower: 227 hp

• Standard Drivetrain: AWD

• City Fuel Economy: 10.6L/100 km
