Almost 15 months after the start of production of the zero-emission crossover in the country, General Motors has just officially introduced the new 2025 Chevy Blazer EV in Mexico.
The automaker’s local subsidiary announced the introduction of the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV in Mexico, the only country in which the zero-emission Blazer is manufactured to date. Notably, this is the first time since the Blazer EV’s global debut in July 2022 that Chevrolet’s all-electric crossover has been announced in a final configuration for the Mexican market.
“The addition of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV to our SUV portfolio will help us strengthen the brand’s leadership in one of the fastest-growing segments,” said President and CEO of GM México, Francisco Garza. “This SUV stands out for incorporating intuitive technologies that define the standard for midsize electric SUVs,” he added.
Manufactured locally at GM Ramos Arizpe plant, the all-new 2025 Chevy Blazer EV debuts in Mexico in its second model year of production as the bowtie brand’s second Ultium Battery-based electric crossover to be introduced in the country – following the Chevy Equinox EV produced at the same facility. As such, the 2025 Blazer EV sits at the top of the local portfolio of electric models with Chevy’s most advanced technologies.
Specifically, the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV comes to the Mexican market in a single well-equipped RS trim level that features an 85 kWh Ultium battery and two Ultium Drive motors, which produce 331 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque. Unlike the single RWD configuration featured in other Latin American countries, the 2025 Blazer EV RS for the Mexican market includes AWD as standard.
The new 2025 Chevy Blazer EV will be available in Mexico through an online pre-sale period starting in October, with a preferential price of 1,149,900 pesos (about $59,820 USD at the current exchange rate) for a limited number of units. Deliveries and sales will formally begin in November throughout the exclusive Chevrolet EV dealer network with 21 stores in the country, where users will have access to more than 1,000 public chargers.

It is strange that a GM vehicle would not be available for local sale until over a year later at the same nation where it is assembled. BTW, the Cadillac Optiq is assembled at this same site, and as reported at another GM Authority article, it had completed 39 Optiq units during the third quarter of this year.
I wonder if they charge 20,000 pesos to deliver the car to the dealership across the street from the Plant?
