The 2025 Chevy Blazer will be the last gas-powered nameplate variant sold in the North American market. According to a report from GM Authority, an unnamed source familiar with the situation revealed that Chevy plans to transition the Blazer to an exclusively electric vehicle (EV) lineup.
This move will affect only the North American market, as the gas-powered Blazer will still be offered in China.
Chevy first introduced the Blazer in 1969, and over the years, it received several upgrades before being discontinued. In 2019, Chevrolet revived the nameplate, but sales have been steadily declining since its re-release. In 2024, the Blazer hit its all-time low with only 52,576 units sold in the United States.
In addition to this shift for the Blazer, Chevrolet is also planning to transition its Ramos Arizpe, Mexico plant into an all-electric facility. The plant currently assembles electric vehicles, with the Blazer being the only internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle produced there.
CBT News did not reach out to Chevrolet for commentary, but several other publications noted that the Chevy refuses to confirm or comment on the matter.
If General Motors proceeds with this transition, it will no longer offer a gas-powered, two-row, midsize SUV in the North American market. Consumers looking for a gas-powered SUV from Chevrolet will need to either downsize to the compact Equinox or upgrade to the three-row Traverse.
