Blazer EV Trims

The Blazer EV debuts with four trims—1LT, 2LT, RS, and SS—and a dizzying array of powertrain choices. The 1LT, 2LT, and RS are front-wheel-drive models as standard, with the 1LT able to go an estimated 247 miles on a charge. All-wheel drive is optional on the 2LT and RS, and the 2LT maxes out at 293 miles of range depending on battery size. The RS will also be available in a rear-wheel-drive configuration, and with a specific battery and drivetrain, the RS can travel up to 320 miles.

The Blazer EV rides on General Motors’ Ultium platform, and multiple battery configurations are available, but Chevy hasn’t revealed how big the packs are. Chevy says that when plugged into a DC fast-charger, the Blazer EV can charge up to 190 kW, adding 78 miles of range in 10 minutes.

At the top of the range, the Blazer SS becomes the first electric Chevy to bear the Super Sport badge, and it pumps out 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard on the SS, and Chevy claims the crossover can hit 60 mph in under four seconds in the sportiest drive mode—which bears the name Wide Open Watts, or WOW. In addition, the SS will have front Brembo brakes, and it, like all Blazer EVs, features an independent front and rear suspension. The SS boasts an estimated 290-mile range.

Each trim level gets a unique front fascia, with the LT displaying a blanked-off body-color grille while the RS adds a black grille piece, a full-width LED light bar, and sporty side skirts. The SS gets a more aggressive black mask with a column of strakes below the headlights and also gains a black roof. The LT rides on 19-inch wheels, the RS upgrades to 21-inch units, and the SS features 22-inch wheels. The LED light bar found on the RS and SS, which includes an illuminated Chevy logo, plays lighting sequences as the driver walks towards or away from the car and displays the charge level when the Blazer is plugged in.

Blazer EV Interior

The centerpiece in the interior is a 17.7-inch touchscreen paired with an 11-inch digital gauge cluster. The dashboard design is sleek and futuristic with turbine-like air vents, and the RS and SS add a flat-bottom steering wheel, ambient lighting, and many red accents. The RS and SS also get heated and ventilated front seats, while standard heated rear seats on the SS can also be optioned on the RS. 

The Blazer EV also comes packed with technology, with standard automated emergency braking, lane-keep assist, front pedestrian detection and braking, and optional reverse automated braking and Advanced Park Assist. GM’s Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system is also available, and the MyChevy app will allow owners to map out routes to find charging stations.

Trailering provisions are included when you add the Comfort & Convenience Package on the 2LT model with AWD and standard on the RS model. Additional vehicle features and options will be provided closer to the start of 2024 Blazer EV production.

Chevy also says there will be a Police Pursuit Vehicle version of the Blazer EV. Using the SS as a base, the PPV will be fitted with the largest battery and offered in rear-wheel drive or dual-motor, all-wheel drive specifications. The PPV will also have the SS model’s Brembo front brakes, and an interior redesigned to suit the needs of police officers.
