Chevrolet announced updates to the 2025 Blazer EV lineup, including increases in EPA range ratings and power output for both rear- and all-wheel drive models. The rear-wheel-drive 2025 Chevrolet Blazer RS now has an EPA range rating of 334 miles, up from 324, while LT AWD versions achieve 283 miles, up from 279. Both models also see increases in horsepower and torque. The base front-wheel-drive version of the lineup, the LT, will be priced at $45,995, including the destination fee.
The range-leading RS RWD and top-performance SS AWD models will feature a larger 102-kwh battery pack, while the rest of the Blazer EV lineup will have an 85-kwh pack. The SS model will have 557 hp, a retuned suspension, and 0-60 mph times under four seconds. The Blazer SS will have a lower price of $61,995. The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS had previously received a price reduction for the 2025 model year, with the LT AWD priced at $48,995 and the RS AWD at $54,295.
Chevrolet had made some previously standard features optional for the 2025 models, such as the Comfort and Convenience package for the LT AWD and the Convenience and Driver package for the RS AWD. These packages include features like wireless phone charging, a power tailgate, and heated seats. The base price cut for the Blazer EV lineup comes as a welcome surprise for EV affordability, as customers have shown a preference for more low-cost EV options. GM had previously cut prices for the 2024 Blazer EV models in March, following interface glitches and a pause in sales.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is another important vehicle for affordability, starting at a base price of $34,995 and offering 319 miles of range. The Equinox EV is expected to be an attractive option for customers looking for a more affordable electric vehicle. Chevrolet has made significant updates to the Blazer EV models following a production pause, including software updates to address interface issues. Test drives of the Blazer EV have been positive, with Green Car Reports noting the model’s efficiency and range. Overall, Chevrolet’s updates and price adjustments for the Blazer EV lineup aim to make electric vehicles more accessible and appealing to a wider range of customers.
