How much horsepower and torque does the Blazer EV have?

The Blazer EV’s power output varies by trim and drivetrain, with numbers spanning from about 290 horsepower and roughly 320-340 lb-ft of torque in the base front‑wheel‑drive version to 557 horsepower and about 531 lb-ft of torque in the performance‑oriented SS. All‑wheel‑drive variants generally deliver stronger figures than the entry model.

Power figures by trim and drivetrain

Below are the commonly cited figures for the main configurations. Exact numbers can differ by model year, battery option, and market, so check Chevrolet’s official spec sheets for the precise specifications in your region.

• Base Blazer EV (1LT/2LT, front‑wheel drive, single motor): approximately 290 horsepower and about 320-340 lb-ft of torque.


• All‑wheel‑drive variants (RS and Premier, dual‑motor): higher output than base, roughly in the mid‑300s to low‑400s horsepower range with torque in the ~470-520 lb-ft range.


• Top‑of‑the‑line Blazer EV SS (high performance, dual‑motor): 557 horsepower and about 531 lb-ft of torque.

Concluding: The Blazer EV offers a spread of power outputs to suit different needs—from efficient daily driving in its base FWD form to strong, responsive performance in its AWD and SS configurations. The SS trim provides the most horsepower and torque, while the base models emphasize efficiency and value.

Bottom line: If you’re comparing models, expect about 290 hp for the base FWD version, with torque around 320-340 lb-ft, and up to 557 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque in the Blazer EV SS. All‑wheel-drive versions increase both horsepower and torque beyond the base figures, depending on configuration.
