2024 Chevy Blazer EV Base Model Dropped, Starting Price Jumps
2024 Chevy Blazer EV Base Model Dropped, Starting Price Jumps
The 1LT trim is dead, and the now base 2LT trim is considerably more expensive than previously alluded to by Chevy.
Another EV with the base model dropped almost immediately. A frustrating trend for sure.
As if some Titan-born Marvel villain snapped his infinity-stone-laden fingers, the base option for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV has vanished into thin air. The previously announced 1LT trim level, which was to start at $44,995, is gone, leaving the front-wheel-drive 2LT trim (pictured at top) in its place at an as yet unnamed price.

A Chevrolet spokesperson told Automotive News that the brand envisions higher trim levels on the upcoming Equinox EV will meet the needs of potential Blazer EV 1LT buyers, but with the Bolt twins on hiatus, we lament the removal of another budget-oriented option.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's interesting to see Chevy going the opposite route and raising prices right now when there have been so many other companies starting to lower pricing. You'd think they'd get rid of the higher trim rather than the lower one, but they must have better margin on the higher trim.
Agreed, I almost held my breath for the Blazer / Equinox. Glad I plunged early for the ID4, the savings have been great.
We're driving an old Leaf (2013) and a 2018 Volt. We kind of want to swap the Volt for a full EV (to get better EV range, ditch the gas engine, and get a little more space), but manufacturers seem to resent selling sub-$50k EVs except for the Bolt EUV... which isn't really an upgrade over the Volt for our needs. I'll keep waiting I guess.
How are you liking the ID.4? I have a colleague who bought one (it wasn't really the right vehicle for his use case) and who didn't love it. It seems like a good vehicle, but (like most EVs) is hard to find cheap.
