Chevy hikes Blazer EV prices, pushing it over $45,000

Chevrolet has raised the starting price of its 2027 Blazer EV, pushing the base LT trim above $45,000. The LT now starts at $45,000, a $300 increase from the previous year, and with the $1,795 destination fee the MSRP rises to $46,795. The RS trim also sees a $300 hike, beginning at $52,595, while the SS remains unchanged at $62,495.

Adding all‑wheel drive adds $3,000 to the LT and RS; the SS comes standard with AWD. Both the LT and RS use an 85‑kWh battery that delivers up to 312 miles of EPA range on front‑wheel drive and 283 miles when equipped with AWD. The SS, equipped with a 102‑kWh pack, offers up to 302 miles.

The 2027 Blazer EV features a native NACS port, allowing Tesla Supercharger use without an adapter, and an optional eight‑speaker Bose premium audio system that was previously only available on the SS. With a starting MSRP above many rivals—Tesla Model Y ($41,380), Toyota bZ ($36,575), Hyundai IONIQ 5 ($36,900)—the Blazer EV is longer and offers more interior space. Sales have fallen nearly 80% since the federal $7,500 tax credit expired, with GM selling 4,427 units in the first nine months of 2023 versus 20,825 in the same period last year. Buyers can still find the best deals on the outgoing 2026 lineup.
