The Chevrolet Blazer might not be around much longer. A new report from GM Authority, citing “sources close to that matter,” alleges the automaker will eliminate the gas-powered crossover from its American lineup after 2025.
Sales for the stylish crossover continued to fall last year, down 20 percent from 2023. Chevy sold the most Blazers in its second model year, nearly reaching 95,000 units sold, but it has never replicated that level of success since. The Blazer first went on sale in 2019 in the US.
Motor1 reached out to Chevrolet to verify the report. A Chevy spokesperson declined to comment on the report, saying only the company had no portfolio changes to share.
Chevy builds the Blazer at its Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, where it also assembles an assortment of electric vehicles from General Motors, like the Chevrolet Blazer EV, the Equinox EV, and the Cadillac Optiq—and the Honda Prologue. Automotive News reported this week that GM eliminated a shift at the factory, reducing it to just two.

A January 2023 tweet from Mexico’s Economic Ministry announced GM would produce only electric vehicles at the facility in 2024, but that deadline has passed. The Blazer shares a platform with the Cadillac XT5 and XT6, which GM Authority also reports could get cut after 2025.
