Declining sales for the stylish crossover last year indicate its likely discontinuation.
The Chevrolet Blazer’s future appears uncertain. According to a report from GM Authority citing “sources close to the matter,” the automaker plans to remove the gas-powered Blazer from its U.S. lineup after 2025.
Sales of the crossover continued to decline last year, dropping 20% compared to 2023. Chevy sold nearly 95,000 Blazers in its second model year, marking its peak performance, but it hasn’t come close to those numbers since. Introduced to the U.S. market in 2019, the Blazer has struggled to maintain its early success.
A known Automotive Media Outlet contacted Chevrolet to confirm the report, but a spokesperson declined to comment, stating only that there were no portfolio updates to announce.
The Blazer is currently built at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, alongside several electric models, including the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Cadillac Optiq, and Honda Prologue. This week, Automotive News reported that GM has cut a shift at the facility, reducing operations to two shifts.
In January 2023, Mexico’s Economic Ministry tweeted that GM would shift exclusively to electric vehicle production at the plant by 2024. However, this transition has not been fully realized. The Blazer, which shares its platform with the Cadillac XT5 and XT6, may face the same fate as those models, which GM Authority also claims could be discontinued after 2025.
