2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV Performance by Trim: LT, RS, and SS Compared

The 2027 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS produces 615 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with Wide Open Watts mode active. That output is exclusive to the SS; the LT and RS share a different motor configuration with 312 miles of FWD range. This page breaks down every performance difference across all three trims, with inventory available at Umansky Chevrolet.

Feature Overview: Why Performance Varies So Widely Across Blazer EV Trims


The 2027 Blazer EV is not a single-performance vehicle wearing different badges. Each trim level carries a distinct powertrain configuration, and the gap from the entry LT to the top-tier SS is substantial. For buyers in Glendale and the surrounding Milwaukee area, understanding those differences before stepping onto a lot is the fastest path to the right choice.

 

The LT starts with a front-wheel-drive electric propulsion system rated at 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. It delivers an EPA-estimated 312 miles of range on a full charge, making it the most range-efficient configuration in the lineup. The RS is also available with FWD carrying the same 220 hp motor and identical 312-mile range estimate. Both the LT and RS are additionally available in AWD configuration using a dual-motor setup rated at 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque, though with a reduced EPA-estimated range of 283 miles.

 

The SS operates on an entirely different level. Its Performance Dual Motor AWD system produces 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque when Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode is engaged. GM estimates 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds on a closed course. Its larger 102 kWh battery (versus 85 kWh on LT and RS) delivers an EPA-estimated 302 miles of range, and it supports DC fast-charging at up to 190 kW compared to 150 kW on the LT and RS.

How It Works: Wide Open Watts and the Three Powertrain Configurations


The performance architecture across Blazer EV trims centers on motor count, battery size, and software-unlocked output.

 

On the LT and RS with FWD, a single front-mounted electric drive unit sends 220 hp to the front wheels. The configuration prioritizes efficiency, which is why the FWD LT and FWD RS hold the lineup's best range figure at 312 miles.

 

The AWD versions of LT and RS add a rear motor, bringing total system output to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque. The dual-motor layout improves traction and responsiveness but draws more energy, trimming range to 283 miles.

 

The SS uses a purpose-built Performance Dual Motor AWD system that is not shared with the LT or RS AWD configuration. Its 102 kWh battery is significantly larger, and Wide Open Watts mode unlocks the full 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque for maximum acceleration. Outside of WOW mode, the SS operates at a lower output level suited for everyday driving. The SS also features an SS-specific Ride and Handling suspension tuned separately from the standard suspension on LT and RS, along with Brembo 6-piston front fixed calipers with SS script on the front calipers.

 

One-pedal driving with regenerative braking is available across all three trims, allowing the driver to slow and stop the vehicle by lifting off the accelerator. The system recaptures kinetic energy and returns it to the battery, contributing to the range figures above.

Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance is available on the LT and RS, and standard on the SS. The SS includes a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan as part of the Super Cruise Package. Super Cruise works on compatible mapped roads and manages steering, acceleration, and braking on those routes, which complements the SS's highway performance capability.

Real-World Benefit: What Each Performance Level Means on the Road


For drivers who primarily use their Blazer EV for daily commuting around Glendale, the freeway approaches toward Milwaukee, or regular trips into the greater metro area, the FWD LT or RS FWD offers the most range per charge. At 312 miles, those configurations can handle multiple days of typical Wisconsin driving without requiring a public charging stop. Regenerative braking adds usable charge back to the battery on every deceleration, which matters during stop-and-go travel.

 

Buyers who want strong passing power and all-weather confidence without stepping up to the SS will find the AWD configurations of LT and RS a practical middle ground. The dual-motor system's 300 hp and standard AWD traction is meaningful on wet or winter roads in the Milwaukee area, where conditions can change quickly from November through March.

 

The SS is built for drivers who want an SUV that performs like a performance car. The 3.4-second 0-60 estimate puts it in territory typically reserved for dedicated sports vehicles, yet it still carries 59.1 cu ft of max cargo space and seats five. For those buyers, the SS's Brembo brakes are not just a styling choice. The 6-piston front calipers provide the stopping power the performance motor genuinely requires.

 

All Blazer EV trims support Level 1 (120V) and Level 2 (240V) home charging through the included Dual Level Charge Cord. The standard NACS charge port gives every trim access to Tesla Supercharger stations and a broad public charging network. The myChevrolet mobile app connects to route planning and public charger location tools, which reduces planning friction on longer trips regardless of which trim you choose.

How It Compares: Blazer EV SS Against the Electric SUV Field


The SS's 615 hp output and sub-4-second 0-60 estimate position it against a narrow group of performance electric SUVs. Most competitors in the mainstream electric midsize SUV segment deliver between 200 and 400 hp. The SS's Wide Open Watts figure sits well above that range without requiring a buyer to step into a dedicated performance EV brand.

 

The LT FWD's 312-mile range estimate competes directly with the top range figures in the midsize electric SUV class, where 250 to 320 miles remains the common spread among volume competitors. A specific competitor range figure is not reproduced here to avoid stale comparisons, but buyers researching the segment will find the Blazer EV LT FWD range sits at or above the class average for 2027.

 

The NACS charge port is a meaningful network advantage. Access to Tesla Supercharger infrastructure gives Blazer EV owners more charging options on long-distance routes than vehicles limited to CCS-only networks.
