Chevy has been quietly (and steadily) refining the Blazer EV since it first rolled off the assembly line and continues to do so for 2026. This year, you'll notice a few trim changes and a couple of style tweaks that help the Blazer EV feel a little sharper. If you're narrowing things down between the LT and the RS, here's how the two trims stack up for the new model year.
Key Takeaways
- Chevy discontinued rear-wheel-drive RS models for 2026. However, the RS itself isn't going anywhere--you can still get it in front-wheel or all-wheel drive.
- A new Tech Bronze package adds 22-inch bronze wheels and black accents.
- As of December 4, 2025, pricing spans from $46,095 to $62,095 across the lineup.
The biggest update for 2026 is the removal of the rear-wheel-drive RS trim. The RS continues on nonetheless, in four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. Another noticeable shift is the updated color palette: Polar White Tricoat replaces last year's Iridescent Pearl, giving the Blazer EV a fresher, brighter option. And the new Tech Bronze package (available on every trim) adds 22-inch bronze wheels and black exterior decals that give the Blazer EV a more custom look right off the lot.
Here's how pricing breaks down for 2026:
- LT FWD: $46,095
- LT eAWD: $49,095
- RS FWD: $51,895
- RS eAWD: $54,895
- SS: $62,095
Differences Between 2026 Blazer LT and RS Models
The LT continues as the entry point to the Blazer EV lineup, but it's not bare-bones. Standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels, single-zone automatic climate control, a digital instrument panel, and a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen. You get cloth seats, Google Built-In with voice assistance, integrated navigation, a Wi-Fi hotspot with OnStar services, a six-speaker sound system, and your choice of 120-volt or 240-volt charging cables.
Move up to the RS, and you're essentially choosing a more stylish and feature-rich version of the Blazer EV. The exterior gets an LED grille light bar, roof rails, 21-inch wheels, heated and power-folding mirrors, and a hands-free power liftgate. Inside, the upgrades continue with power-adjustable front seats, synthetic leather with microsuede inserts, dual-zone climate control, ambient interior lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, driver's seat memory, a heated steering wheel, and a wireless charging pad. It's still familiar Blazer EV territory, just with a more premium feel throughout.
A lot of the RS upgrades are available to the LT as options, including synthetic leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, Super Cruise (though not on the now-discontinued RWD RS), the LT-only Midnight/Sport Edition with blacked-out styling, and the new Tech Bronze package. On the RS side, buyers can also add a head-up display, heated rear outboard seats, and a digital rearview mirror.
Powertrain, Range, and Fuel Economy of the 2026 Chevy Blazer EV
The Blazer EV LT and RS feature two main drivetrain choices: front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The front-drive models use a single 220-horsepower motor and deliver an estimated 312 miles of range, making them the distance leaders of the bunch. All-wheel-drive models step up to a dual-motor system with 300 horsepower, trading a bit of range for traction and power--expect around 283 miles on a full charge.
Based on 2025 figures, you're looking at up to 106 MPGe city, 85 MPGe highway, and 95 MPGe combined, depending on configuration.
