2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV

The 2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV is a two-row midsize electric SUV that seats five passengers with up to 59 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats. It competes with models such as the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5. The 2026 model is a carryover from the lineup introduced in 2024, with minor updates including the new Tech Bronze appearance package that adds 22-inch wheels and black accents. Powertrains include an 85 kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack on LT and RS trims, paired with a single front electric motor for front-wheel drive (220 hp) or dual motors for all-wheel drive (up to 300 hp). The SS trim features a 102 kWh battery and 615 hp from its all-wheel-drive dual-motor configuration.

The infotainment system uses Google built-in across a 17.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen and 11-inch driver information display. It provides Google Maps navigation with real-time traffic and charger locator, hands-free Google Assistant for calls, climate control, and music playback, plus access to Google Play apps including Spotify and streaming services. Standard Chevy Safety Assist includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist. Available Super Cruise hands-free highway driving incorporates Google Maps integration for route-aware lane changes and automatic activation on mapped roads. The myChevrolet app supports cabin and battery preconditioning, trip planning with Energy Assist for charger scouting, remote monitoring, and over-the-air updates for feature improvements and maintenance.
