General Motors is revamping its lineup with a wide variety of new electric vehicles, including an all-electric iteration of the Chevy Blazer nameplate. Although the new Chevy Blazer EV won’t drop cover until next year, GM Authority already has a bevy of information on what it will offer, along with a little speculation, so read on to learn more.
Exterior
The Chevy Blazer EV will keep the nameplate’s four-door crossover utility vehicle (CUV) body style, but will introduce an all-new exterior design. The front end will incorporate thin, horizontally oriented lighting, while the lines will be more geometric and pronounced than those of the Camaro-inspired, ICE-powered Blazer. Notable features include roof rails, a two-tone color scheme, large alloy wheels, and a charging port located in the front driver’s side fender.
Interior
Inside the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV will be seating for five passengers, with two seated up front and three seated in the rear. The all-electric crossover will offer a range of cutting-edge technology features, including the GM Super Cruise semi-autonomous drive system. The dash will incorporate two separate displays, one of which will be horizontally oriented on the center stack, and the other serving as the digital instrument cluster. There will also be plenty of legroom thanks to EV’s flat-floor design.
Platform
The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV will be the Bow Tie brand’s first all-electric vehicle to ride on the GM BEV3 platform. BEV3 is a “skateboard-type” architecture that will underpin several GM EVs, including the Cadillac Lyriq and the future Cruise Origin autonomous taxi. The Blazer EV is also expected to be roughly 194 inches long, making it a midsize offering.
Powertrain, Range, Charging
The Chevy Blazer EV will incorporate the latest GM Ultium battery and GM Ultium drive motor technology, and we believe it will share the same 12-module, 100 kWh battery system as the Cadillac Lyriq. Output could range between 300 and 550 horsepower, depending on the trim, with the “standard” model making 300 horsepower with a single rear-mounted motor, and the Blazer SS making upwards of 550 horsepower with a dual-motor powertrain and all-wheel drive.
Pricing
With multiple trim levels on offer, pricing for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV will vary. We believe it will start around $45,000, and ranging up to $70,000. The trim level cadence will include LT, RS, Premier, and SS. The high-performance SS will be the first trim to market, followed by the RS, the Premier, and later, the LT.
Launch Timeframe & Availability
The new Chevy Blazer EV will launch in the 2023 calendar year for the 2024 model year. Sales will take place in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, China, and Europe.
Production
GM Authority expects production to take place at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee, U.S.A., where the Chevy Blazer EV would be built alongside the Cadillac Lyriq.

i hope the ss trim actually brings some good performance. 0-60 in around 4 secs, 150+ mph top speed. that would be ideal.
I’ll take range over 0-60, especially if there is a big difference.
When the dimensional specifications of the Chevy Blazer EV and the Equinox EV arrive, please post here a comparison table of both, so we can decide which will fulfill our needs and compare prices.
My daughter’s last years purchase of a Blazer has turned into a Bonanza as her dealer fears the 2023’s and 2024’s. He has offered to buy back the car for $3,750 over what she paid… Buy now if you can still get one. looks like the revolt against EVs is in swing!
Yes I too would be interested in the dimensional spec’s of this EV. I think of the Blazer as being a high stance truck for off road ground clearance. I don’t see that as being a major decision in the design of this EV SUV. I’m somewhat disabled and use a cane and a high step would be a negative for me.
I think it’s WAY over-styled, and incongruously. There are sharp lines in some spots, and then over-done flows and bulges/arches/waves. A shame as this was my target for my next vehicle. I can just can’t get with this styling. The real thing might look better, or maybe the RS version is just over-done, but the rear haunches and charge port are two things that I would expect to be the same across all trim lines, and they’re not appealing to me. Adding in the front strakes of the RS only makes it worse since they don’t fit with the flowy lines on the side.
They are still showing the concept and if you look a the Lyriq concept vs the production model it changed a lot. Let’s see…
I actually don’t think they changed that much, especially not in the major lines. Some details, sure, but the production Lyric generally looks like the concept (vs. something like the Volt, which changed a ton).
And this “concept” looks pretty production-ready, and the lines are all mirrored in the test mules, so it would appear the body shape is pretty set.
But fingers crossed that you’re right. I just don’t see any sign that the general shape or even the charge port will change (that’s on the test mules, too, which I would have absolutely expected not to be if it wasn’t going to make production as it’s quite a complex set of shapes to produce).
I think what you see in the image above is the final real deal Blazer EV SS. I like it overall, but it does seem a bit busy to me. I guess if I were in the market for the high performance SS version that might be a bit of a downer. But keep in mind, If I were a betting man, I’d assume that there will be other sport trims (such as just the RS, or perhaps a Redline) that won’t be as aggressive looking as the SS, and might be just what you are looking for.
Yah that pazlie print paint wrap will never catch on 😉
Paisley. You know, learning how to spell and using grammar is easier than ever these days with internet search engines.
bdizzlefizzle, I couldn’t agree more. You took the word’s out of my mouth. The looks are just a mess.
So, does this mean there will be no more ICE Blazers after 2023? Will it be EV only beginning in 2024?
No, I’m sure the ICE Blazer will be sold alongside the EV for a few years, similar to what will happen with the Silverado.
It would not be for very long for the Blazer and Equinox – you compete against yourself with the same name plate if you do. GM wants/need their EV numbers to jump dramatically so they will kill off the ICE version as soon as they can sustain production on the EV.
Dumb move, many people still want ICE and will dump GM.
Ed,
Many folks are already on the verge of dumping GM. They consistently lie to the public about their supply situation. All this delay in production and delivery can end tomorrow. They just want more government handouts and are willing to shove EV down our throats to get it.
Ed, absolutely and I’m one of them. It’s a shame because I love GM but Mary Barra is destroying this company.
The ICE Blazer and Equinox will be around for several more years. My wonder is if there will be another new version if the ICE Blazer and Equinox, or are they planning to run the current ICE platforms for another 3 – 5 years and then sunset them? I think that all depends on sales to be honest.
It’s safe to say GM will make at least one new generation of all their mainstream gas powered CUV’s and SUV’s maybe 2 at chevy and GMC. Buick and Caddy models will be the first to go Full EV as they’re lower volume.
I keep thinking about that odd style line in the rear quarter window. Do you think GM is making that window powered? It’s almost like it has to have that top squared off body line to shorten the window and allow it to drop in the fender. I guess with no fuel filler neck there, they could that.
What a bummer, no AWD available on any other trim than the SS!
What about all the consumer that get snow & ice during winter and don’t want to spend on an SS?
Yeah…I’ve wondered the same. I mean, for most people the single motor version will have enough power, but they’ll want AWD which it won’t have, so they will have to get a two motor version. That said, I’m sure there will be other 2 motor trims with a bit less power and less cost than the SS. The additional power of the SS will be unlocked with different tuning, but it will also offer larger brakes, different handling characteristics, and the look of the SS versus the non SS AWD trims.
“What a bummer, no AWD available on any other trim than the SS!”
They still have the ICE Blazer for normal duty.
Mach e doesn’t do this. I don’t think GM would be that ignorant. They’ll definitely mess it up in some way but that’s too big of a goof
We know it is made in Mexico.
But we expect it to be made in USA.
You can keep this import Mary Barry.
This is not an import because it is assembled with the Cadillac Lyriq . And you are not a real GM retiree!
At least it is not being brought in from China, just like it is happening with GMs smaller SUVs sold in Mexico.
GM Retired… just read the article, not made in Mexico.
Sorry, made in mexico, check news
There will be those who will swing to EV as quickly as they can, without actually doing the long-term cost research. I’m not interested in jumping that train today. Once the auto makers get to 600+ miles range in a full-size pickup I may consider it but until then, I’ll keep my 1500 diesel and live with 30+ mpg and almost 1000 mile range. I’ve done the long-term calculations and there is no way I can justify the extra cost of an EV over the long haul. I sometimes have workdays that are 14 hours and 650+ miles. I have no desire to extend that to 18 hours to stop and charge at least twice. My time is worth something.
It’s way better looking than the current gas Blazer, I’ll give ’em that. And wearing the “SS” badge, it had better rip. This one looks like a winner.
Idiot boy, at least you got your name right.
What’s your excuse?
Idiot Boy, yeah that makes sense. What’s my excuse for the fact that you got your name right? Duh.
…and everyone at gm is an imbecile, Mary Barra’s a joke and the shareholders have their heads up their asses.
Sure lucky us maroons have the one-man brain trust WS6 TA to put everything into perspective for us.
Idiot Boy, did I say everyone at GM is an imbecile, do you even know the definition of an imbecile? I unlike you base my statements on facts, not emotion’s. Mary Barra is a joke and is destroying this company, GM is on the verge of bankruptcy for the SECOND time under her tenure. Barra is striving to force EV’s in everyone’s garage (if they don’t catch fire) because she’s following a corrupt government agenda because they own her. If she doesn’t do what they say , no government bailout. Idiot (how very apropos) what’s your perspective? If you can’t add any intelligence insight into the conversation then maybe you should keep your childish remarks to yourself.
I’m still trying to figure out what intelligence insight is let alone adding it “into” the conversation. Maybe that’s because I’m too caught up in emotion’s (sic) and therefore unable to see the “facts” that are so obvious to those of you who aren’t imbeciles like me.
Such as the looming gm bankruptcy. Please elaborate and cite reputable sources.
While Tesla’s stock valuation remains far above Ford and General Motors, Wall Street is increasingly evaluating auto makers on how well they’re challenging Tesla and moving to a future in which EVs will dominate sales. “Its (NYSE: GM) core automotive business is performing well in a dynamic and complex environment, and it’s well positioned in electric vehicles and autonomous-vehicle technology that will play out over time” says Joe Pittman, analyst at Harris Associates.
While I will agree that government is forcing their green agenda down both US auto manufacturers and American’s throats, the rest of your argument doesn’t hold water and in addition to that, you’re a real a$$hole.
Idiot, why does it not surprise me you can’t understand what intelligent insight is?
What does “Wall Street “ know anything about auto manufacturing?
And wow if I had known what Joe Pittman’s opinion was I would have surely changed my views. SMH.
Fact: GM Q4 sales plunge 43%
GM is currently 90 billion, yes that’s B for billion in debt.
I could continue with several other facts that prove Mary Barra’s incompetence but I don’t have the time or patience for an individual who is a self proclaimed idiot. Do your own due diligence. And I noticed you stooped to the level of name-calling, how very mature of you, again why does that not surprise me. I’m done here, go cry to a mirror you’ll have much better luck.
I’ve noticed a pattern in pretty much any thread I follow where you divulge into hating. Why are you on this forum if you have such disdain for GM, and know all of this stuff as fact?
BTW – Q4 2021 sales are a) super outdated given all that’s happened (like a war) since then, and b) down for everyone. GM is largely tracking the market. You also should be very careful about YoY quarter comparisons in such volatile markets (whether that’s for GM’s sales or stocks or anything). The guys at Autoline have done some great pieces on this when talking about the SAAR, and how, right now, you should be looking quarter to quarter rather than year over year quarterly comparisons.
BTW, GM has almost $110 B debt (worse than you said). If you’re curious, Ford has $138 B. So, since Ford is smaller than GM, technically, GM is less levered.
VW has $221 B. They’re a closer size comparison for GM than Ford is, so that makes GM less levered.
Mercedes (not Daimler, which is their old heavy truck biz) has $131 B in debt. So that makes GM less levered. Add in Daimler, and the number is about $200 billion, but that’s not relevant. BMW had 183 B in 2020, but I can’t get more recent figures, so I won’t count them here (though every car maker has increased debt over the past 2 years, and generally over time, when controlling for structural events, like mergers like FCA and PSA or de-mergers, like Daimler Benz into Daimler and Mercedes).
And, finally, Toyota, who is the best financially performer of all the full line car maker on pretty much every measure, has $136.24 B in debt, up nearly 10% this year.
And you frame debt as a bad thing. Financial experts debate this incessantly, but there are reasons why debt can be a good or at least useful thing, and in such capital-intense businesses, it’s extremely common (as you can see from all these competitors and their debt) and financially advantageous to use debt. Add in that debt is the mechanism for covering the interstitial value of the core product (cars, between mfg and sale), and it’s hard not to have a lot of debt.
Just be careful when your start throwing out “facts” without context. We can all tell any story we want with “facts”, and it’s become too common for untrue things to be paraded as facts.
It would just be nice to read posts here without always seeing them devolve into a political BS storm. I mean, it’s a car forum. It’s not life or death. Maybe chill a bit rather than just going off on Mary Barra and the Democrats or whatever for ruining the world in every post.
Intelligent insight is not the same as intelligence insight, genius and the word insight already implies intelligence. Syntax matters.
And what do you know about auto manufacturing, pray tell? Clearly a lot less than Wall Street.
I’ve stooped to the level of name-calling? Now isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? You are an a$$hole and that’s a fact. Not stooping nor immature – in this case, just telling it like it is. Own it.
Sorry, but this imminent gm bankruptcy isn’t likely happening in your lifetime despite what the voices in your head are telling you, you insufferable sack of crap😘
Good Day
Hopefully it’ll give the mustang Mach e gt a run for its money. I think that has about 600hp awd
So today July 18th GM was supposed to give all the stats on the new Blazer EV and the imbeciles at GM can’t even get that right. Mary Barra is a joke. When are the shareholders going to get their heads out of their asses and remove her before it’s to late.
