How much horsepower does the new Blazer have?
Across the latest Chevrolet Blazer lineup, horsepower depends on the chosen powertrain. The gas-powered models offer 228 hp or 308 hp, while the all-electric Blazer EV ranges from about 290 hp in base form to 557 hp in the high-performance variant.
The question hinges on which Blazer you mean—the traditional gasoline SUV or the new electric variant—since Chevrolet now markets both under the Blazer umbrella. Below is a breakdown by powertrain to reflect current offerings as of model year 2024–2025.
Gas-powered Blazer engines
Two engine options currently power the gas Blazer, with horsepower fixed for each configuration.
- 2.0L Turbocharged inline-4: 228 horsepower
- 3.6L V6: 308 horsepower
In everyday driving, the 3.6L V6 provides stronger acceleration, especially when paired with all-wheel drive, while the 2.0L turbo emphasizes efficiency with solid performance.
Engine availability and trim notes
Some trims are limited to a specific engine choice, and drivetrain options (FWD vs. AWD) can influence how the horsepower feels in real-world driving.
Blazer EV horsepower
The Blazer EV marks Chevrolet’s electric entrance in this crossover segment, with multiple trims delivering different power outputs.
- Blazer EV base models (single-motor FWD): about 290 horsepower
- Blazer EV SS (top dual-motor AWD): 557 horsepower
These electric variants offer strong immediacy and torque, with the SS delivering the most performance. Range and efficiency vary by battery configuration and drivetrain.
Electric performance by drive unit
Single-motor versus dual-motor configurations drastically change horsepower and torque; buyers should check the exact spec for their chosen trim and year.
Summary
horsepower in the new Blazer depends on the model: gas versions provide 228 hp (2.0L turbo) or 308 hp (3.6L V6), while the Blazer EV spans roughly 290 hp in base form up to 557 hp in the high-performance SS. For precision, consult the official spec sheet for the exact trim and year you’re considering.
