The 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV is best suited for families and commuters who want a capable all-electric SUV with meaningful range and practical space. The LT FWD starts at $44,700 and delivers 312 miles of EPA-estimated range, while the SS AWD tops the lineup at $60,700 with 340 hp. Five seats, about 25.5 cu ft of cargo space, and a standard 17.7-inch touchscreen make every trim genuinely useful for day-to-day family life.
How Much Does the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV Cost to Own?
The 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV lineup spans five trims across a $16,000 price range, giving buyers meaningful choices between entry-level efficiency and performance-oriented capability. The table below shows base MSRP for every covered trim before options or destination charges.

Every trim carries a destination charge of $1,795, which means the lowest all-in entry point before any options is $46,495 for the LT FWD.
The LT FWD at $44,700 is the practical choice for buyers who prioritize maximum range — it achieves 312 miles of estimated range versus the 283 miles of the AWD variants. For families who spend most of their time on paved roads and want to stretch each charge as far as possible, front-wheel drive makes a compelling case. The LT AWD at $47,700 adds all-wheel drive for a $3,000 premium, which is worth considering for anyone regularly navigating wet or uneven rural roads.
The RS FWD at $50,500 and RS AWD at $53,500 step up with sport-oriented interior materials — perforated suede and Evotex upholstery — standard wireless charging, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power liftgate, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The RS trims also add standard Hitch Guidance with Hitch View and a hands-free boot release, enhancing convenience for trailer towing. For families who want a more refined daily driver without jumping to the top of the lineup, the RS tier hits a practical sweet spot.
The SS AWD at $60,700 is the performance flagship, adding 340 hp and unique SS-specific styling. It is the right choice for buyers who want the most power the Blazer EV offers, though it comes at a significant premium over the RS trims.
All five trims are available to browse through Newton Chevrolet’s current Blazer EV inventory. Beyond the base price, ongoing ownership costs benefit from the EV’s zero tailpipe emissions — no oil changes, no fuel costs, and an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery backed by an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty. For families in Russellville and surrounding communities already managing tight monthly budgets, the reduced maintenance overhead is a real and recurring advantage.
Rugged Style That Complements Historic Streets
The 2027 Blazer EV wears a stance that reads as confident without being aggressive — a practical fit for the mix of historic downtowns and open farmland roads that define this part of Kentucky. The body measures 192.2 inches long, 78 inches wide (86.5 inches including mirrors), and 65 inches tall, placing it squarely in the compact SUV class with enough presence to stand out without overwhelming a narrow main street or a tight parking lot.
The exterior design carries a flush, sculpted look across all five trims, with painted bumpers front and rear, black trim around the side windows, and a roof spoiler. LED lighting runs throughout — projector-beam LED headlights with both low and high beam LED bulbs, LED daytime running lights, LED side indicators, LED rear lights, and LED brake lights. The automatic high-beam control and dusk-sensing headlights mean the system adjusts itself as light conditions change, which is a practical detail on rural roads where streetlights are sparse.
Wheel sizes differ meaningfully by trim. The LT trims ride on 19-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires. The RS trims step up to 21-inch alloys with a slightly wider tire profile. Optional upgrades include dealer-installed 22-inch gloss black wheels and 22-inch bronze tech wheels, both with all-season rubber.
Color choices include Radiant Red Tintcoat and a Black Two-Tone Roof option that gives the Blazer EV a two-tone appearance. The RS and SS trims also offer Polar White Tricoat. Buyers who want to personalize further can add the Blackout Package, Graphics Package, or Red Package through the dealer.
Shoppers who are still deciding between a new Blazer EV and a pre-owned alternative can browse Newton Chevrolet’s pre-owned vehicle selection to compare what’s currently available at different price points. The Blazer EV’s clean exterior lines age well, which makes certified pre-owned examples worth considering for buyers who want the design without the new-vehicle premium.
Power and Control for Rolling Farmlands with the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV
The Blazer EV’s powertrain story is straightforward: all five trims use a single-speed automatic transmission, and the drivetrain choice — front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive — is the most consequential decision a shopper makes. The performance table below shows exactly how the trims differ.

Every trim except the SS AWD produces 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. The SS AWD bumps power to 340 hp but actually carries slightly less torque at 325 lb-ft— a trade-off that reflects its performance tuning rather than pure pulling effort.
The AWD system on the LT AWD, RS AWD, and SS AWD is full-time all-wheel drive, powered by two AC permanent magnet synchronous motors — one at each axle. This setup distributes power continuously to all four wheels rather than engaging AWD only when slip is detected. For driving on Russellville’s gently rolling backroads after a rain, or navigating the agricultural routes through Pennyroyal Plateau farmland, that continuous torque distribution provides a meaningfully more confident feel than a reactive system.
The FWD trims use a single front-mounted motor. They are lighter — the LT FWD weighs 5,009 lbs versus 5,163 lbs for the LT AWD— and that reduced mass directly translates to the FWD models’ superior range figures of 312 miles compared to the AWD variants’ 283 miles.
The suspension is fully independent at both ends: strut-type front with coil springs and a multi-link rear with coil springs, both with stabilizer bars. This setup handles the mild elevation changes and occasional uneven pavement common on rural Kentucky roads without transmitting excessive harshness into the cabin.
Single-pedal driving is standard across all trims, using regenerative braking to recapture energy and slow the vehicle when you lift off the accelerator. The braking system uses four-disc brakes — two ventilated fronts — with ABS, brake assist, electronic auto-hold, and a hill holder. Ground clearance sits at 7.9 inches, which is adequate for unpaved driveways and gravel access roads.
If you’re trading in a current vehicle to move into the Blazer EV, you can get an estimated trade-in value before visiting the dealership — a straightforward step that can clarify your budget before you finalize a trim choice.
Spacious Cabin Ready for Adventures and Family Outings
Five passengers and about 25.5 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seat — that’s the Blazer EV’s practical baseline across every trim. Fold the rear bench flat and that number expands to about 59 cu ft, which is enough room for a full weekend’s worth of fishing gear, camping supplies, or a load from the hardware store.
The interior dimensions give each passenger real room rather than nominal measurements. Front headroom is 40.9 inches, rear headroom is 38.1 inches, front legroom is 44.2 inches, and rear legroom is 38.9 inches. Front hip room measures 57.4 inches and rear hip room 53.8 inches, while shoulder room is 58.7 inches front and 58.3 inches rear. Those numbers are consistent across all five trims — the body structure doesn’t change between configurations.

All trims seat 5 passengers and share the same about 25.5 cu ft cargo capacity with seats up.
Towing capacity of 1,500 lbs is available on the LT and RS trims — enough to pull a small jon boat or utility trailer to the lake. The SS AWD does not carry a towing rating in the catalog data. A dealer-installed trailer hitch is available as a standalone option across the tow-rated trims.
The rear seat folds asymmetrically (split configuration) and flat to the floor, giving practical flexibility when carrying a mix of passengers and cargo. Load floor height sits at 29.7 inches, which is a reasonable lift-in height for heavy coolers or tool bags.
The LT trims come standard with cloth upholstery. The Comfort and Convenience Package upgrades the LT to synthetic leather (Evotex) and adds 5-way power driver’s seat with heated front seats, heated steering wheel, and electrically foldable mirrors. The RS trims include those comfort features as standard and add perforated synthetic suede seating surfaces, dual-zone climate control, a hands-free power liftgate, and wireless charging.
Smart Tech That Keeps Franklin Drivers Connected and Green
The 2027 Blazer EV ships a 17.7-inch center touchscreen and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster as standard equipment on every trim — not as an upgrade. The center display is fixed-orientation and touch-operated, with internet-connected navigation that includes EV intelligent route planning, which maps charging stops automatically on longer trips. The instrument cluster is a reconfigurable TFT screen that can be tailored to show what the driver wants front and center.
Connectivity runs deep. Every Blazer EV includes Bluetooth, a Google virtual assistant, over-the-air software update capability (OS-level), and an embedded SIM card for Wi-Fi with 3 GB of data per month included for one month. The Wi-Fi hotspot supports multiple devices simultaneously, which matters when a family is on a long drive and everyone wants a screen. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls keep the driver’s eyes on the road.
USB ports total five across the cabin: three in the front (data and charging) and two in the rear (charging). A single 12V outlet is also available in the front. The RS trims add a standard wireless charging pad, eliminating the need for a cable on the front console entirely.
OnStar Basics is included standard, providing 96 months of remote services — remote lock/unlock, vehicle start, find my car, send destination to car, vehicle diagnostics, and advanced automatic collision notification. The optional 3 Years OnStar One upgrade adds theft alert and online entertainment access. The Onstar One With Super Cruise Plan option extends telematics to 96 months and adds Super Cruise hands-free highway driving capability, which uses map-linked adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function, active lane control, automated lane changing, and a driver attention monitor.
Traffic sign recognition comes standard, and the navigation system pulls real-time traffic data. SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3-month trial subscription is standard; an optional 3 Years SiriusXM subscription extends that trial considerably.
For owners who want to keep their Blazer EV running with genuine Chevrolet components, Newton Chevrolet’s parts department stocks OEM EV-compatible accessories and replacement components.
Safety Designed for Family Drives Through Quiet Roads
The 2027 Blazer EV earns a 5-star overall NHTSA safety rating, with 5-star frontal crash and 5-star side impact ratings. The IIHS results in the catalog show Good ratings for moderate overlap front, small overlap front driver side, seat belt reminder, and LATCH child-seat ease of use. Headlights are rated Acceptable by IIHS.
The passive safety structure starts with 8 airbags: dual front airbags, front side airbags, front-and-rear side curtain airbags, and driver and passenger knee airbags. Front seatbelts include pre-tensioners and height adjustment. The rear center position uses a 3-point belt. Head restraints are height-adjustable front and rear, with 2 positions each. LATCH anchor points are present for child seat installation.
Active safety systems are standard across all trims and work together as a coordinated suite. Forward Collision Alert monitors the road ahead and provides visual and acoustic warnings when a potential collision is detected, activating at speeds as low as 5 mph. Automatic Emergency Braking engages independently, applying the brakes at low speed both front and rear. The system also activates brake lights and seat belt pre-tensioners when a collision is imminent.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning monitors lane markings and applies gentle steering correction when the vehicle drifts without a turn signal. Blind Zone Steering Assist detects vehicles in adjacent lanes and actively resists steering inputs that would move the Blazer EV into an occupied blind spot — a meaningful step beyond a warning light alone.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses radar to detect approaching traffic when reversing, and the system includes braking capability. The HD Surround Vision camera system provides a 360-degree overhead view for tight parking and hitching maneuvers, with Rear Park Assist sensors supplementing the camera feed.
A Pedestrian Audio Warning System is standard, emitting a sound at low speeds to alert pedestrians and cyclists who may not hear the near-silent electric drivetrain approaching. An emergency call system and accident data recorder round out the safety package.
The optional Super Cruise Package adds a driver attention monitor and an emergency driver intervention system to the active safety suite, enabling Level 2 partial automation on compatible mapped highways.
Breaking Down 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV Trim Pricing and Surrounding Areas
The five-trim Blazer EV lineup is structured to serve distinct buyer priorities, and understanding which tier matches your actual use case is the most direct way to avoid either overpaying or under-speccing.
The LT FWD at $44,700 is the entry point for buyers whose primary concern is range and economy. At 312 miles of estimated range, 114 MPGe city and 95 MPGe highway, it is the most efficient version of the Blazer EV. Families who stay on paved roads and charge at home overnight will find the FWD system entirely adequate for daily commutes and weekend trips to Lake Malone or community events.
The LT AWD at $47,700 adds dual-motor all-wheel drive for $3,000. The range drops to 283 miles(102 MPGe city / 87 MPGe highway), but the full-time AWD system provides added traction on wet or unpaved surfaces — a practical consideration for anyone navigating gravel farm roads or driveways after rain. Both LT trims include the standard 17.7-inch screen, OnStar Basics, HD Surround Vision, and a 6-speaker audio system as a baseline, with the Comfort and Convenience Package available to add heated seats, power driver’s seat, and Evotex upholstery.
The RS FWD at $50,500 and RS AWD at $53,500 are the mid-tier choices that include standard heated front seats, heated steering wheel, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, a hands-free power liftgate, and perforated suede seating surfaces. The RS trims also include standard Hitch Guidance with Hitch View and a towing-ready setup, making them the practical choice for buyers who plan to haul a small trailer. The RS AWD’s 1,500-lb tow rating combined with full-time AWD makes it the most well-rounded trim for outdoor-oriented buyers.
The SS AWD at $60,700 is the performance variant with 340 hp, unique SS exterior and interior styling, and the highest curb weight at 5,730 lbs. It does not carry a towing rating in the catalog data and has the lowest payload at 1,104 lbs. It is the right choice for buyers who prioritize driving performance over utility.
Warranty, Maintenance, and Service Insights for 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV Owners
The 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV comes backed by a comprehensive multi-tier warranty that addresses the unique concerns of electric vehicle ownership, and the coverage terms are notably strong for the battery and electric systems specifically.
The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers 36 months or 36,000 miles. The powertrain warranty extends to 60 months or 60,000 miles. Anti-corrosion coverage runs 72 months or 100,000 miles. Paint warranty is 36 months or 36,000 miles. Roadside assistance is included for 60 months or 60,000 miles — a meaningful benefit for EV owners who may be less familiar with charging infrastructure on unfamiliar routes.
The battery warranty is where Chevrolet’s commitment stands out: the 85 kWh lithium-ion battery is covered for 96 months (8 years) or 100,000 miles. The electric systems warranty matches that at 96 months or 100,000 miles. For a family planning to keep the vehicle for a decade, those terms provide genuine peace of mind against the most expensive potential EV repair.
The Blazer EV’s electric powertrain eliminates several recurring maintenance items that internal combustion vehicles require — no oil changes, no spark plugs, no transmission fluid services. The primary scheduled maintenance items are tire rotations, brake fluid checks (though regenerative braking extends brake pad life significantly), cabin air filter replacements, and software updates delivered over the air.
Charging at home via a standard 120V outlet (Level 1) is possible but slow — the catalog data shows a 60-hour full charge at 1.4 kW. A Level 2 240V home charger at the vehicle’s 11.5 kW onboard charger rate brings that down to approximately 8 hours for a full charge. DC fast charging (Level 3) at up to 150 kW can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 0.54 hours under optimal conditions. A GM PowerUp Level 2 Charger and Powershift Charger are available as dealer-installed options.
Awards and Expert Recognition Highlighting the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV’s Strengths
No specific awards or named press citations were provided in the catalog data for the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV, so this section reflects what the verified specifications demonstrate rather than attributed third-party recognition.
What the crash test data does confirm is a 5-star overall NHTSA rating — the highest possible score — with 5-star frontal crash and 5-star side impact ratings. The IIHS records Good ratings for moderate overlap front, small overlap front driver side, seat belt reminder, and LATCH. These are the metrics that safety-focused organizations use to rank vehicles, and the Blazer EV performs at or near the top of each category tested.
The Blazer EV’s platform architecture, designated BEV3, is shared across Chevrolet’s dedicated electric vehicle lineup. The BEV3 platform was purpose-built for electric vehicles rather than adapted from an existing internal combustion architecture — a distinction that affects packaging efficiency, battery placement, and structural integrity in a collision.
The combination of a 5-star NHTSA overall rating, Good IIHS structural scores, a standard suite of active safety systems on every trim, and an 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty positions the Blazer EV competitively against other electric crossovers in its class. Shoppers cross-shopping it against rivals like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4 will find the Blazer EV’s safety credentials and range figures hold up well at comparable price points — though buyers should independently verify current competitor specs before making a final decision.

Frequently Asked Questions from Families Considering the 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV
Range depends on which drivetrain you choose. The LT FWD and RS FWD both achieve 312 miles of estimated range on the 85 kWh battery. The LT AWD, RS AWD, and SS AWD deliver 283 miles— the dual-motor AWD system draws more energy than the single front motor. For most daily driving in Russellville and surrounding communities, either figure comfortably covers a week of typical use between home charges.
The LT AWD, LT FWD, RS AWD, and RS FWD all carry a 1,500 lb tow rating. That is sufficient for a small jon boat, a utility trailer, or a light cargo trailer. A dealer-installed trailer hitch is available as an add-on option. The SS AWD does not have a tow rating listed in the catalog data. The RS trims include standard Hitch Guidance with Hitch View, which uses the camera system to help align the hitch with a trailer coupler.
The Blazer EV supports three charging modes. A standard 120V household outlet (Level 1) provides the slowest charge — approximately 60 hours for a full charge at 1.4 kW. A 240V Level 2 home charger at the vehicle’s maximum 11.5 kW onboard rate takes approximately 8 hours. DC fast charging (Level 3) at up to 150 kW can add substantial range quickly — the catalog data shows a 10%-to-80% charge in approximately 0.54 hours at maximum supplied power. A GM PowerUp Level 2 home charger is available as a dealer option.
For most families, the RS FWD at $50,500 or RS AWD at $53,500 offers the best balance of features and capability. Both RS trims include heated front seats, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, a power liftgate, and standard towing preparation — features that matter on real family trips. The FWD version adds the benefit of 312-mile range. If budget is the priority, the LT FWD at $44,700 provides the longest range at the lowest price, with the Comfort and Convenience Package available to add the heated seats and power seat that make the cabin more livable on longer drives.
