Overview
- Toyota confirmed Tuesday that the 2027 bZ will begin arriving at U.S. dealerships in September with a starting price of $34,980, and the company published EPA ranges and trim pricing.
- General Motors said the 2027 Chevy Blazer EV carries the same base MSRPs as 2026 (LT FWD from $44,700) while adding a standard NACS charge port and optional features including an eight-speaker Bose system.
- Both makers have adopted the NACS port for 2027 models, which lets owners plug directly into Tesla Superchargers without an adapter and reduces friction across public charging networks.
- Journalists’ recent tests show both SUVs can exceed roughly 300 miles on a single charge in real-world use and typically recharge from about 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes at fast public chargers.
- The updates sharpen market positioning: Toyota leans on value and efficiency with two battery sizes and FWD/AWD range options, while Chevrolet keeps a performance focus with the SS trim’s high horsepower and a pricier Super Cruise package.
