General Motors initially announced that the Blazer EV would be available in 1LT, 2LT, RS, and SS trim levels.

There is an 11-inch Driver Information Center and a 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen display (it is the first vehicle to use General Motors Ultifi system). A traditional vehicle starter button is omitted, instead the driver pushes the brake pedal and the car is automatically placed into drive gear.[13][14] Chevrolet decided to ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a Google built-in software, citing reasons including driver safety and the intent to eliminate driving distractions.[15]
