The first Blazer EV — the RS all-wheel drive trim — started shipping Monday from GM's plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, to dealers. It starts at $60,215, higher than initially expected, with an estimated range of 279 miles on a full charge.
FOR A BLAZER!
The Blazer EV will be available in three trims: LT (luxury trim), RS (rally sport) and SS (super sport). The RS rear-wheel drive version and the 2LT AWD trims launch this fall.
In July 2022, when Chevy revealed the Blazer EV, it estimated the base trim would start at $44,995, pushing it up-market from its gasoline-powered counterpart at $35,100. The finalized pricing for the trims rolling out this year are above that estimate.
"Our initial launch editions are highly contented with features we know our customer’s want and showcase the technology and customer choice the Blazer EV offers," Lyons said of the pricing.
* RS AWD starts at $60,215.
* RS RWD starts at $61,790.
* 2LT AWD starts at $56,715.
Range for the 2LT and RS AWD are 279 miles on a full charge. GM expects to achieve an estimated 320-mile range on a full charge for the RS RWD trim.
We ask HOW does it even stand a chance against the Model Y? And also, WHAT is GM smoking with this crossover?
For reference:
Chevy’s Blazer EV with AWD and ~270 miles of range starts at ~$57k.
Tesla Model Y AWD with ~270 miles of range starts at ~$47k.
