General Motors (GM) will reportedly end production of the gasoline-powered Chevy Blazer in the U.S. after the 2025 model year, making the SUV available exclusively as an electric vehicle. The move aligns with GM’s broader restructuring of its crossover lineup and its transition toward electric mobility.

A report from GM Authority, citing unnamed sources, claims that the gas-powered Blazer will be phased out, following the discontinuation of Cadillac’s XT4, XT5, and XT6 models.

However, GM declined to confirm the news, stating to Electrek, “We have no portfolio changes to share and will not comment on speculation.”

The shift coincides with GM’s decision to transition its Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, plant to all-electric vehicle production.

The facility currently manufactures the Chevy Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Cadillac Optiq, and Honda Prologue, with the gas-powered Blazer being the last combustion-engine model produced there.

Sales of the gas-powered Blazer have declined in recent years, dropping from nearly 95,000 units in 2020 to around 52,500 in 2024.

Meanwhile, GM has been expanding its EV footprint, selling over 23,100 Blazer EVs last year and securing 12.5% of the U.S. EV market in late 2024, up from 6.5% a year earlier.
