2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV

Marc Urbano|Car and DriverMSRP$47,000–$63,000 est See all results for new 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV for sale near h3h 1a2 Whether you're in the market for mild or wild, the Chevrolet Blazer EV is an electric mid-size SUV that offers you a full bandwidth of variety. A subdued, 220-hp front-wheel-drive LT variant opens the lineup for the chill crowd, but on the top end, the all-wheel-drive SS model churns out 615 horsepower and sears the pavement getting to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. There's even a 300-hp model that provides a middle-ground choice between those performance extremes. The tame front-wheel-drive setup is the way to go if driving range is a top priority, bragging EPA range estimates of up to 312 miles—one of the highest in the segment. Regardless of which flavor you choose, every Blazer EV offers a flavorful blend of satisfying driving dynamics, a comfortable ride, ample space for five passengers, and plenty of room in the trunk. Expert Tip: If you're looking for something more family-oriented but still quick and handsome, take a look at our top mid-size electric SUV pick, the Kia EV9. The Chevy Blazer EV debuted for the 2024 model year, so it'll probably be another year or two until it receives substantial updates. For now, it continues into 2027 unchanged. Car and Driver calculates your car's value in three free and easy steps - using the same Black Book® data dealers use to appraise vehicles. We’d go with the mid-range RS model, which comes standard with cool 21-inch wheels, a power-operated hands-free liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated flat-bottomed steering wheel, and an illuminated Chevrolet bowtie logo. The RS is offered in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, and while the AWD version has more horsepower, the FWD model offers more driving range. The entry-level Blazer EV LT and the mid-range RS trim are both available with either front- or all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models come with a single 220-hp electric motor, while all-wheel-drive models are powered by two electric motors that combine for 300 horsepower. We drove an all-wheel-drive RS and found its acceleration to be adequate but far from thrilling. If your budget allows for it, the range-topping SS model comes exclusively with a 615-hp electric powertrain with standard all-wheel drive. Chevrolet has endowed the Blazer EV with decent road manners. During our test drive, the RS delivered a smooth ride and predictable handling. We wish the steering offered more feedback, but body roll is kept well in check, and the brakes are operated through a firm pedal that inspires confidence. Like other EVs, the Chevy utilizes a regenerative braking system, and it provides several levels of available regen, with the highest setting allowing for one-pedal driving. In Comparison: The Chevy Blazer EV SS puts up an impressive 60 mph sprint time, blowing away everything else in the mid-size electric SUV segment. The Blazer EV RS eAWD falls behind some other rivals, including the Kia EV9 (4.5 seconds) and the Toyota bZ Wooldand (3.9 seconds). The front-wheel-drive Blazer EV models boast the highest EPA estimated driving range of the lineup at 312 miles. Going with the all-wheel-drive version of either the RS or the LT drops that estimate to 283 miles. The powerful SS has a rated range of 302 miles. In our real-world 75-mph highway range test, the AWD Blazer EV RS achieved a result of 200 miles while an AWD LT model managed 210 miles. The SS managed 250 miles in the same test. The Blazer EV is capable of charging on a DC fast charger, and in our testing, it was able to charge from 10 percent to 90 percent in 57 minutes. The EPA estimates that the Blazer EV should return as much as 114 MPGe city, 95 MPGe highway, and 104 MPGe combined. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV vehicle fuel efficiency. For more information about the Blazer EV's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. First Row: All models come with a sporty interior motif that matches the SUV’s aggressive exterior styling. Round air vents flank the dashboard, and in RS and SS trims, Chevrolet has adopted a two-tone black-and-red color scheme. A more monotone look is available for those who don’t appreciate the flash. Second Row: The Blazer EV is strictly a two-row affair, but both the front and rear seats are spacious and comfortable for adults. Cargo Capacity: Folding the rear seats down expands the 26-cubic-foot cargo area to a much larger 60-cubic-foot space with a flat floor that makes it easy to load bulkier items. When we get a chance, we’ll rate the Blazer EV’s cargo capacity with our carry-on suitcase test and update this story with the results. All models come with a large 17.7-inch infotainment display that’s canted slightly toward the driver. It's framed on the left and the bottom by physical controls for the climate control system and a volume knob, which we find easier to use th
