We've been given a full breakdown of the new Blazer for the U.S market but new details have just recently come to light for our northern neighbours. The 2019 Blazer will be offered in the same four trim levels including: Blazer 2.5, Blazer 3.6, RS and Premier. Pricing is set to start at $35,200. https://driving.ca/chevrolet/blazer/auto-news/news/2019-chevy-blazers-four-trims-and-canadian-pricing-announced

Growing emission regulations are the main reason for this and there are varying levels of success with them. The new 4 cylinder in the Silverado has been found to have worse mpg than the V8.

Is anyone really buying an SUV for fuel economy? GM has done what they can with a high gear transmission and start/stop. There isn't a huge difference between the 2.5 and 3.6 either, but I'd wait to hear some real world numbers. These WLTP and EPA numbers as always exaggerated.
