2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV

The Blazer EV is based on GM's Ultium platform that underpins the latest automaker's electric models. This midsized SUV meets the competition, notably the Ford Mustang Mach-E, VW ID.4 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 pair in terms of price, functionality, and range. It is offered in several trims, initially starting with the all-wheel drive LT and RS trims with an estimated 279-mile range. The premium SS is also available. The cockpit is fitted with two large screens: An 11-inch instrument panel display and a 17.7-inch infotainment screen. Features and services can be personalized, and upgraded, using GM's Ultifi software. The Blazer EV comes with FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, LKA, LDW, and ACC. Super Cruise and other active safety and driver assist features are optional. For 2025, highway speed AEB is standard. Both 2025 RWD and AWD models got a slight increase in range and horsepower over the previous model year. A front-wheel-drive version also became available. For 2026, the RWD model was discontinued.

About Chevrolet

<p>Once a purveyor of all things automotive, Chevrolet has shifted its focus toward SUVs and pickup trucks, with the supercar-like Corvette being a notable exception. It has been pioneering with electric vehicles, and it continues to introduce new EVs. Most models have roomy interiors, easy-to-use controls, and good array of standard safety and convenience technology. Several models, however, have poor visibility and lack steering agility. Many Chevrolets rate average or below average for reliability in CR’s rankings, resulting in few carrying our recommendation. The Suburban and Tahoe can keep three rows of passengers comfortable within their enormous cabins. The Silverado pickup truck competes with the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 by balancing interior comfort with towing and cargo capability. With some exceptions, used Chevrolets can have reliability issues, but are often less expensive to maintain and repair than competitors.</p>
