Chevrolet Blazer EV: Which Version Should You Buy?
The Chevrolet Blazer EV has one generation, so the buying decision is entirely about choosing among its four electric versions rather than comparing different generations. The 102 kWh is the only RWD option and produces 340 hp and 440 Nm. The 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD raises output to 407 hp and 460 Nm, while the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD combines AWD with 288 hp and 451 Nm.

The SS is the clear performance choice, delivering 624 hp, 880 Nm, and a measured 0–100 km/h time of 3.4 seconds. Price, range, charging, reliability, and equipment data are not provided, so they cannot determine the recommendation.
Chevrolet Blazer EV generations
The Chevrolet Blazer EV has one generation, introduced in 2022 and still listed without an end date. This generation uses an SUV 5-doors body and contains four versions: 102 kWh, SS, 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, and 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD. The first three listed from July 2022 are 102 kWh, SS, and 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD; the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD is listed from January 2023.
There is no second generation or restyling in the supplied data. Consequently, no numerical claim can be made about what changed between Chevrolet Blazer EV generations. The meaningful comparison is between the four versions within the sole generation.
Chevrolet Blazer EV engine and specs
All four Chevrolet Blazer EV versions use Electro power, an Automatic gearbox with 1 ratio, and zero listed CO₂ emissions. The database does not provide displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, or boost information for any version. These fields are therefore reported as not measured rather than inferred from conventional engine terminology.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102 kWh | 340 hp (250 kW) | 440 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | RWD |
| SS | 624 hp (458 kW) | 880 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | AWD |
| 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD | 407 hp (299 kW) | 460 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | AWD |
| 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD | 288 hp (211 kW) | 451 Nm | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | AWD |
Power per litre cannot be calculated because no displacement is measured. Direct output comparisons are possible: the SS has 217 hp and 420 Nm more than the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, and it has 284 hp and 440 Nm more than the 102 kWh. Against the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD, the SS adds 336 hp and 429 Nm.
The 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD is 119 hp more powerful than the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD, although its torque advantage is only 9 Nm. The 102 kWh has 52 hp more than the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD but 11 Nm less torque. Those figures show why power and torque should be compared separately rather than treating either one as a complete measure of performance.
Chevrolet Blazer EV horsepower and performance
The SS is the only version with measured acceleration: 0–100 km/h takes 3.4 seconds. Acceleration is not measured for the 102 kWh, 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, or 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD. Top speed is not measured for any of the four versions.
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed |
|---|---|---|
| 102 kWh | not measured | not measured |
| SS | 3.4 seconds | not measured |
| 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD | not measured | not measured |
| 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD | not measured | not measured |
The output ranking is unambiguous: SS leads with 624 hp, followed by 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD with 407 hp, 102 kWh with 340 hp, and 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD with 288 hp. Torque follows a slightly different order: SS has 880 Nm, 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD has 460 Nm, 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD has 451 Nm, and 102 kWh has 440 Nm.
For economy, city consumption, highway consumption, and combined consumption are not measured for every version. Range in kilometres is also not measured, so the battery figures in the version names must not be converted into estimated range. Charging speed and charging time are not measured as well.
| Version | City consumption | Highway consumption | Combined consumption | CO₂ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102 kWh | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
| SS | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
| 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
| 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD | not measured | not measured | not measured | 0 |
Chevrolet Blazer EV dimensions and weight
Exterior dimensions, interior dimensions, and length are not measured for any version. Ground clearance, gross weight, tank capacity, and wheel sizes are also not measured throughout the range.
Kerb weight is available for three versions. The 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD is the lightest measured version at 2,406 kg. The 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD weighs 2,421 kg, which is 15 kg more. The 102 kWh weighs 2,536 kg, making it 130 kg heavier than the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD and 115 kg heavier than the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD. SS kerb weight is not measured.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102 kWh | 2,536 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| SS | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD | 2,406 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD | 2,421 kg | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
Among versions with measured weight, the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD has the strongest power-to-weight result. Its 2,406 kg divided by 407 hp equals approximately 5.91 kg per hp. The 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD has approximately 8.41 kg per hp, while the 102 kWh has approximately 7.46 kg per hp. Put another way, each tonne corresponds to approximately 169 hp in the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, 134 hp in the 102 kWh, and 119 hp in the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD. A comparable SS result cannot be calculated because its kerb weight is not measured.
Chevrolet Blazer EV suspension and brakes
Every version has Independent, spring front suspension and Independent, spring rear suspension. Every version also has Ventilated disc front brakes and Disc rear brakes. On the supplied chassis fields, there is therefore no distinction that would favor one version over another.
The drive system does separate them. The 102 kWh uses RWD, whereas SS, 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, and 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD use AWD. The data contain no traction tests, so the effect of either layout under particular road or weather conditions is not measured.
Which Chevrolet Blazer EV version should you buy?
Choose the SS when maximum measured performance is the priority. Its 624 hp and 880 Nm are the highest figures in the range, and its 3.4-second 0–100 km/h result is the only measured acceleration time. Its 217 hp advantage over the next-most-powerful 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD is substantial. However, SS kerb weight, range, consumption, and top speed are not measured, preventing a complete efficiency or power-to-weight comparison.
Choose the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD for the strongest numerical balance among versions with both power and weight data. It combines 407 hp, 460 Nm, AWD, and a 2,406 kg kerb weight. It is 67 hp more powerful and 130 kg lighter than the 102 kWh, giving it a clear advantage in calculated kilograms per horsepower. It is also 119 hp more powerful and 15 kg lighter than the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD.
Choose the 102 kWh if RWD is specifically required. It is the only RWD version and provides 340 hp and 440 Nm. At 2,536 kg, however, it is the heaviest of the three versions with measured kerb weight. Its 102 kWh name cannot establish a range advantage because range and consumption are not measured.
Choose the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD when AWD is required but the lowest output in the catalogue is acceptable. It develops 288 hp and 451 Nm and weighs 2,421 kg. Compared with the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD, it gives up 119 hp while retaining torque within 9 Nm and adding only 15 kg. No price data are supplied, so there is no factual basis for saying whether that trade-off saves money.
On specifications alone, the 85 kWh Dual Motor AWD is the most balanced recommendation, while the SS is the performance recommendation. The 102 kWh is the dedicated RWD choice, and the 89 kWh Dual Motor eAWD is the lower-power AWD alternative. Chevrolet Blazer EV prices, lease deals, used-car availability, sale listings, range, equipment, problems, and reliability are not measured in the supplied data and should be checked separately before purchase.
