2026 Chevrolet Blazer: Monroe Pricing & Leasing Guide

MSRP by trim

The 2LT at $34,300 is the entry point, and it already includes heated front seats, remote start, wireless smartphone connection, and Chevy Safety Assist. The 3LT at $39,700 adds perforated leather seating, a power programmable liftgate, and auto-dimming mirrors. The RS at $43,600 brings its black exterior accents, 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, Bose audio with navigation, and access to the 3.6-liter V6. All three include the 228-horsepower turbo four as standard, and all-wheel drive is available on each. Add the $1,995 destination charge and the starting figures work out to about $36,295 for the 2LT, $41,695 for the 3LT, and $45,595 for the RS.

Those are starting points. Options, packages, and dealer-installed items change the final number, and the dealership sets the selling price, so the numbers in this guide describe where Blazer pricing begins rather than what you'll sign for.

Washington sales tax on a Blazer in Monroe

Washington doesn't collect a state income tax, but sales tax does most of that work. The Department of Revenue's rate lookup for the dealership's Monroe address shows a combined rate of 9.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2026: 6.5 percent to the state and 2.9 percent local. Vehicles carry a second layer. The state's motor vehicle sales/use tax rose from 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent on January 1, 2026, and dealers collect it with the regular tax. Together that's an estimated 9.9 percent on the selling price.

Here's what that looks like in practice. On a $36,295 starting figure for the 2LT, 9.9 percent is about $3,590. On the 3LT's $41,695, it's roughly $4,130, and on the RS's $45,595 it's about $4,510. Your own total will shift with options, trade-in treatment, and any incentives, plus title and registration fees, so treat those as ballpark math. The dealership applies the exact tax codes at signing, and the sales team can run a precise estimate before you commit.

Lease or buy?

Leasing a Blazer means paying for the part of the vehicle's value you use over the term, rather than the whole sticker. Monthly payments are often lower than a loan on the same vehicle, and you hand the keys back at the end or buy the Blazer at a price set in the contract. Washington generally collects sales tax on lease payments and any amount paid up front, so the tax arrives in smaller pieces rather than one large bill at signing. Mileage limits matter here. A commute down WA-522 to Bothell and back adds up quickly, so be realistic about how many miles you drive each year.

Buying suits people who keep vehicles a long time, drive a lot, or want to customize. You build equity as the loan balance falls, there's no mileage cap, and with a 2026 Blazer carrying forward without a 2027 model year, there's no rush driven by a new-model rollover. Neither path is the right one for everybody. Lease terms and finance rates change often and depend on credit, so the dealership's new vehicle specials and Chevrolet special offers pages are the places to check what's current.

Offers, trade-ins, and the extras that come with a purchase

A few things come up in nearly every conversation. If you have a trade, the dealership offers a sell-your-car option too, and the KBB Instant Cash Offer is another route. Every new Chevrolet from Speedway Chevrolet includes a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, along with a 3-day return or exchange window on new vehicles; the lifetime warranty and return and exchange pages spell out the terms. Local employers have programs too, like the Boeing employee GM supplier pricing and a military appreciation discount. If you'd like to talk financing, the Get Financed page has the application.

Pricing questions people ask

How much is it to lease a new Chevy Blazer?

It depends on the trim, the term, the mileage allowance, and what you put down, and offers change month to month. The dealership's specials pages and a quick conversation with the sales team will give you real figures for the 2LT, 3LT, or RS.

Is it better to lease or buy a Chevy Blazer?

Leasing tends to suit drivers who want a lower monthly payment, a new vehicle every few years, and who stay within a mileage allowance. Buying tends to suit drivers who keep a vehicle for a long time, drive a lot, or want full ownership. Your annual mileage is usually the deciding factor.

What is the sales tax on a car in Monroe, Washington?

The combined retail rate in Monroe is 9.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2026, and motor vehicle sales carry an additional 0.5 percent tax effective January 1, 2026, for an estimated 9.9 percent. The dealership applies the exact codes at signing.

Is a Blazer or an Equinox cheaper?

The Equinox is the smaller model, and the current 2027 Equinox LT starts at $29,300 MSRP before destination, compared with $34,300 for the Blazer 2LT. The Blazer's price buys a size class of extra room, so compare the two on the lot with similar options in mind.

Which is better, a Traverse or a Blazer?

The Traverse has a third row for bigger families, and the 2027 Traverse LT starts at $41,100 MSRP before destination. The Blazer is a two-row, five-seat SUV with a sportier look and a lower starting price. If you regularly carry more than five people, the Traverse fits better; otherwise the Blazer may be all the SUV you need.
