2027 Chevy Blazer Release Date: Key Updates – There will be no traditional gasoline-powered 2027 Chevrolet Blazer model year in the United States. General Motors is skipping the 2027 model year for the ICE (internal combustion engine) Blazer as it transitions production and prepares a refreshed version for the 2028 model year. The electric Blazer EV continues into 2027 largely as a carryover.
This update matters for U.S. shoppers watching inventory, deals on remaining 2026 models, and the timeline for the next gas-powered Blazer.
No 2027 Gasoline Chevrolet Blazer Model Year
Production of the current-generation gas-powered Blazer at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico is scheduled to end in September 2026. The refreshed model, designated as a 2028 Chevrolet Blazer, is set to begin production in the first half (or specifically the second quarter) of the 2027 calendar year at the Spring Hill Manufacturing plant in Tennessee.
Because of this production gap and the timing of the refresh, there will be no 2027-model-year gas Blazer. Dealers are expected to clear remaining 2026 inventory during the transition. GM has confirmed the move as part of broader U.S. manufacturing investments.
2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV Continues Unchanged
The all-electric Chevrolet Blazer EV, which debuted for the 2024 model year, carries over into 2027 with no major updates expected. It remains available in LT, RS, and high-performance SS trims.
Key attributes include:
- EPA-estimated range up to around 312 miles on front-wheel-drive models
- Power outputs ranging from a single-motor setup to dual-motor configurations delivering up to 615 horsepower in the SS
- A large 17.7-inch central touchscreen with Google Built-In, an 11-inch driver display, and available Super Cruise hands-free driving assistance
- Seating for five and practical cargo space
Pricing for recent model years has started in the mid-$40,000s for the base LT and climbed higher for RS and SS versions. Exact 2027 pricing will follow the usual pattern of modest adjustments for equipment and market conditions. The Blazer EV continues to be built in Mexico.
Expected Features of the Upcoming 2028 Gasoline Blazer
The next gas-powered Blazer is described as a mid-cycle refresh rather than an all-new vehicle. It is expected to retain the current overall proportions while receiving revised front and rear styling, including a more upright and squared-off front end with updated lighting.
Interior updates are anticipated to be more significant, drawing inspiration from newer Chevrolet models such as the Traverse. Expect a large central touchscreen (reportedly around 17.7 inches) paired with a digital instrument cluster and a cleaner center stack with fewer physical buttons. Super Cruise and other advanced driver-assistance features are likely to expand in availability.
Powertrains are not yet fully confirmed. The current Blazer offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (around 228 hp) and a 3.6-liter V6 (around 308 hp) paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, available in front- or all-wheel drive. Whether both engines continue, or if hybrid options appear, remains to be seen.
Production Shift to Spring Hill, Tennessee
Moving assembly of the gas-powered Blazer to Spring Hill supports GM’s strategy to increase U.S. vehicle production. Spring Hill already builds several Cadillac crossovers and is equipped for both gas and electric vehicles. Production of the refreshed Blazer is targeted for the second quarter of 2027, with retail availability expected to follow shortly afterward.
This onshoring comes after earlier reports that the gas Blazer might have been discontinued. GM reversed course and committed to updating and continuing the nameplate.
What U.S. Buyers Should Know Right Now?
Shoppers interested in a gas-powered Blazer should focus on remaining 2026 inventory while supplies last, as orders are winding down. Those preferring electric can shop the current Blazer EV lineup with confidence that the 2027 model will be essentially the same vehicle.
Pricing for the current gas Blazer has typically started in the mid-$30,000s for base trims and risen into the mid-$40,000s for higher RS versions, depending on configuration and destination charges. The refreshed 2028 model’s pricing has not been announced.
Official details on styling, powertrains, features, and exact on-sale timing for the 2028 Blazer will come from Chevrolet closer to the start of production. Until then, the clear takeaway is that there is no 2027 gas Blazer, the Blazer EV continues, and a refreshed gasoline version arrives as a 2028 model after production begins in the U.S. in 2027.
