There is no 2027 gas-powered Chevy Blazer. Chevrolet ended production of the 2026 Blazer in September 2026 and is skipping the 2027 model year entirely. The next gas Blazer will be a refreshed 2028 model, built in Spring Hill, Tennessee, with production expected to start in the first half of 2027. The only “2027 Blazer” you can buy is the electric 2027 Blazer EV, which costs $46,795 to $62,495 and now has a built-in Tesla-style NACS charging port.
Because the names are confusing, this guide answers every common question in one place: what happened to the gas Blazer, what the 2028 model will bring, everything new on the 2027 Blazer EV, and what to buy right now.
Will there be a 2027 Chevy Blazer?
Not a gas one. Here’s the timeline:
- Original plan: GM intended to drop the gas Blazer after the 2025 model year.
- Change of plan: GM decided to keep the Blazer and give it a refresh, moving production from Mexico to the US.
- September 2026: production of the 2026 Blazer ends at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.
- First half of 2027: production of the refreshed 2028 Blazer is expected to start at Spring Hill, Tennessee.
- Result: no 2027 model year for the gas Blazer. Dealers will sell their remaining 2026 Blazers until the 2028 model arrives.
So if you’re asking “Is Chevy making a 2027 Blazer?” or “Is there a 2027 Chevy Blazer?”, the answer is yes only for the Blazer EV. The gas Blazer jumps straight from 2026 to 2028.
Why is GM skipping 2027?
The move to Tennessee is tied to US import tariffs and GM’s plan, announced in June 2025, to invest $4 billion in US production. Building the refreshed Blazer in the US avoids tariffs on Mexican-built vehicles. The short gap between the end of the old model and the start of the new one gives dealers time to clear out 2026 stock, so GM simply skipped the 2027 label.
What we know about the 2028 Chevy Blazer (the “2027 Blazer redesign”)
Many people searching for a “2027 Chevy Blazer redesign” are really looking for this model. Prototypes are already testing, and here’s what’s been reported so far:
- Type of update: a major refresh, not an all-new vehicle. The basic shape and proportions stay.
- Front end: a more upright, squared-off nose, with slim lights on top (likely turn signals and daytime running lights) and the main headlights mounted lower.
- Rear: a revised rear bumper and lights.
- Interior: likely inspired by the Chevy Traverse, with a 17.7-inch touchscreen, an 11-inch digital gauge cluster and fewer physical buttons.
- Super Cruise: may become available.
- Factory: GM Spring Hill, Tennessee.
- Timing: production in the first half of 2027, reaching dealers as a 2028 model.
2028 Blazer engine options
GM hasn’t confirmed engines yet. The current Blazer offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. Industry observers expect the V6 may be dropped and the four-cylinder could be replaced by the 2.7-liter turbo used in the Colorado and Silverado. Treat that as a prediction until Chevy announces specs. No hybrid Blazer has been reported.
Will there be a 2027 or 2028 Blazer SS or 2-door?
There’s no gas Blazer SS, and no two-door model is planned. The only Blazer SS is the electric Blazer EV SS, which is still sold for 2027. Two-door Blazer images online are fan renderings.
Is there a 2027 Chevy K5 Blazer?
No. Chevrolet hasn’t announced a K5 Blazer for 2027. The K5 name belongs to the classic full-size, body-on-frame Blazer sold from 1969 until the mid-1990s. The talk you may have seen comes from reports that GM restarted work on a rugged midsize body-on-frame SUV. That project is mainly linked to a revived GMC Jimmy, and some reports say a Chevrolet version could follow. Nothing is confirmed, and any such model is not expected before about 2029.
2027 Chevy Blazer EV: what’s new
The Blazer EV is the electric version and it continues for 2027, still built in Mexico. Updates for 2027:
- NACS charging port: the Blazer EV now has a built-in North American Charging Standard port, so it can plug straight into Tesla Superchargers without an adapter.
- Front-wheel drive returns: FWD is offered again on the LT and RS, alongside AWD. The SS stays AWD only.
- Bose audio more widely available: the Super Cruise Package now includes Bose premium audio.
- Paint and appearance changes: updated color choices and dealer appearance packages.
- Small price increases on most trims.
2027 Chevy Blazer EV price and cost
| Trim | FWD | AWD |
|---|---|---|
| LT | $46,795 | $49,795 |
| RS | $52,595 | $55,595 |
| SS | Not offered | $62,495 |
Prices include the $1,795 destination charge. The LT and RS rose $300 in October 2026, while the SS price didn’t change.
How much does a 2027 Blazer EV really cost? Most buyers spend $50,000 to $60,000 once they add AWD and popular packages like Super Cruise ($3,795) or the panoramic sunroof ($1,495). A home Level 2 charger adds about $900 for GM’s PowerUp2 unit, plus installation. The federal EV tax credit has ended, so check current GM cash and lease offers, which can be generous on EVs.
2027 Blazer EV range, power and charging
| Version | Battery | Power | Range (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT / RS FWD | 85 kWh | 220 hp, 243 lb-ft | 312 miles |
| LT / RS AWD | 85 kWh | 300 hp, 355 lb-ft | Up to 283 miles |
| SS AWD | 102 kWh | 615 hp, 650 lb-ft | 302 miles |
The FWD models have the longest range, which makes them the smart choice if you don’t need all-wheel drive. With the new NACS port, road trips get easier because you can use Tesla’s large Supercharger network alongside other fast chargers. At home, a Level 2 charger is the cheapest way to charge overnight.
2027 Blazer EV SS
The SS is the performance version, with 615 hp and 650 lb-ft from dual motors and a bigger 102 kWh battery. It starts at $62,495, comes only with AWD, and offers a $395 Performance Package. It’s one of the quickest SUVs Chevy sells, while still offering about 300 miles of range.
2027 Blazer EV RS
The RS sits between the LT and SS, with sportier styling, red interior accents and more standard features. It costs $52,595 with FWD or $55,595 with AWD. The RS Convenience and Driver Confidence Package ($1,395) adds extra comfort and safety features.
2027 Chevy Blazer colors

The RS uses black perforated suede and Evotex seats with Adrenaline Red accents, and the Super Cruise Package now adds Bose premium audio. A panoramic dual-panel sunroof is available on every trim.
The refreshed 2028 gas Blazer is expected to get a much bigger 17.7-inch touchscreen and an 11-inch digital cluster, similar to the Traverse.
2027 Blazer EV release date and configurator
The 2027 Blazer EV is on sale now. Chevrolet’s online configurator went live in summer 2026, and pricing was updated in October 2026. All 2027 Blazer EVs are built at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico. Use the configurator to compare FWD and AWD range, add packages and see the final price before contacting dealers.
Should you buy a leftover 2026 gas Blazer?
If you want a gas Blazer now, your choice is a new 2026 model from dealer stock. Since the 2028 refresh is coming, dealers have good reason to discount the remaining 2026s.
- Buy a 2026 if: you like the current design, find a good discount, and want a proven model. It offers a 2.0-liter turbo four or a 3.6-liter V6 depending on trim, and the V6 tows up to 4,500 pounds.
- Wait for the 2028 if: you want the new styling, the bigger screens and possibly Super Cruise, and you can wait until about mid-to-late 2027.
Keep in mind that a vehicle bought right before a refresh tends to lose value a little faster, so negotiate firmly.
Alternatives to a 2027 Blazer
- 2027 Chevy Equinox: smaller and cheaper, now with an 8-speed automatic on every model.
- 2027 Chevy Traverse: bigger, with three rows and a 328-hp turbo engine.
- Honda Passport: a two-row midsize rival with a strong V6.
- Chevy Equinox EV: a cheaper electric alternative to the Blazer EV with similar range.
What about the 2027 Chevy Trailblazer?
The Trailblazer is a different, smaller SUV that sits below the Equinox. It’s still sold, and it’s reported to switch to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It’s not a replacement for the Blazer.
Blazer EV vs Equinox EV
The Equinox EV starts about $10,000 lower and offers similar or better range, so it’s the value pick. The Blazer EV is sportier, more powerful on AWD versions and available as the 615-hp SS. Choose the Equinox EV for budget and range, or the Blazer EV for style and performance.
Insurance and running costs
EVs like the Blazer EV can cost a bit more to insure because repairs and batteries are expensive, but they save a lot on fuel and maintenance. Get a quick estimate with our car insurance calculator before you buy.
Our take
If you want a gas Blazer, the smart move is either a well-discounted 2026 from dealer stock or waiting for the refreshed, US-built 2028 model next year. Don’t wait for a 2027 gas Blazer, because it won’t exist.
If you’re open to electric, the 2027 Blazer EV is better than ever thanks to the NACS port and the return of FWD, which gives the best range of the lineup at 312 miles. The LT FWD is the best value, and the SS is the one for thrills.
