The Blazer EV moves into 2026 with a lineup that feels more focused than ever. Considering the mid-level RS or the luxury SS? This time around, you'll see that they aim at different kinds of buyers. Let's break down the Blazer EV offerings for the new model year below.
Key Takeaways
- Chevy drops the rear-wheel-drive RS, leaving it available only in FWD and AWD versions.
- A Tech Bronze package introduces bronze 22-inch wheels and black exterior accents to trims.
- Pricing for the 2026 lineup is from $46,095 to $62,095 as of December 4, 2025.
Chevy's biggest decision this year was to streamline the RS by removing the rear-drive configuration. While it's still more style-forward than the base, it now does so with only two drivetrain choices, FWD and AWD.
The color selection also shifts, with Polar White Tricoat replacing the outgoing Iridescent Pearl. Another addition for 2026 is the Tech Bronze package, a factory-styling bundle available on all trims; it adds bronze wheels and contrasting black decals for buyers who want something bolder.
Here's the pricing for the 2026 Blazer EV lineup:
- LT FWD: $46,095
- LT eAWD: $49,095
- RS FWD: $51,895
- RS eAWD: $54,895
- SS: $62,095
THE RS Adds Greater Styling and Comfort
The RS changes the base Blazer EV's feel in a few ways. Its front-wheel-drive model uses a single motor rated at 220 horsepower and reaches an estimated 312 miles of range, making it the most efficient setup Chevy offers. The all-wheel-drive version swaps in a dual-motor layout with 300 horsepower and settles at roughly 283 miles of range.
The exterior has a more polished look with an illuminated grille strip, roof rails, larger wheels, heated and power-folding mirrors, and a hands-free liftgate. Inside, Chevy gives the RS power-adjustable seats, a mix of synthetic leather and microsuede, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, seat ventilation in addition to heat, memory settings for the driver, a heated steering wheel, and wireless charging. Extra touches like a head-up display, heated rear seats, and a digital rearview mirror are optional and push the RS even further into premium territory.
The SS Separates Itself as the Lineup's Luxury Trim
The SS uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system backed by a larger 102-kWh battery, producing 515 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque for everyday driving. When you activate Wide Open Watts, it temporarily boosts output to 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft, giving the SS an entirely different personality than the LT and RS, and a rated range of 303 miles.
Chevy equips the SS with almost all major features from the lower trims but adds 22-inch wheels, Brembo front brakes, a suspension tuned for more aggressive driving, and a Bose audio system. A Performance package reserved for the SS brings summer-rated tires, sharpening the SUV's handling even more.
