About the 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV
1st generation (introduced for 2024), third model year, no major refresh.
Chevrolet positions the Blazer EV as a sporty midsize electric SUV that mixes standout styling, useful cargo space, and a big-screen cabin with real everyday range. It is less about bare-bones efficiency and more about giving buyers an EV that looks dramatic, feels familiar as a five-passenger SUV, and scales from a simpler LT to a much quicker SS. The design, 17.7-inch touchscreen, roomy layout, and strong standard safety story are the main through-lines across the range.
The LT is the straightforward everyday version, with an 85-kWh battery, a 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch driver display, and a broad set of standard safety features. The RS adds a sportier look and comfort touches such as ventilated front seats, while the SS pairs a 102-kWh battery with performance AWD, up to 615 horsepower, and hands-free highway driving.
