The 2025 Chevy Blazer EV Lease in July 2026: What's Actually on the Lot
The headline Blazer EV subvention ended, and the leftover inventory grew a different kind of deal. What is actually on the lots now, and how to lease it.
The 2025 Chevy Blazer EV SS leased at 0.5% APR earlier this year. That rate is gone, and the SS is no longer showing on local lots. What is on lots is a pile of leftover 2025 LT and RS Blazer EVs, and the deal has moved from the money factor to the discount. LT AWD units are advertised up to $11,000 under MSRP.
The lowest rate still belongs to the 2025 RWD RS at 2.50% APR (MF 0.00104), and there are a few in stock. But at sticker it is not the cheapest lease. The LT leases for less at MSRP (~$736 to ~$782) because it costs thousands less and holds value better. The real win is a discounted LT AWD courtesy vehicle, which also unlocks the $3,000 Courtesy Transportation credit.

What Happened to the 0.5% Deal
The 2025 SS ran a money factor of 0.00022 (0.53% APR) earlier this year, a clearance subvention to move the last of the build. GM has since eased that back to 0.00146 (3.50% APR), and SS units have thinned out of local inventory entirely. The near-zero headline is history.
The 2025 did not disappear, though. Dealers are still sitting on leftover LT and RS Blazer EVs, many of them former courtesy vehicles, and they are motivated to move them. That is where the deal is now. Not a magic rate. A clearance price.
What's Actually on the Lot
Local inventory is mostly LT AWD, with a handful of LT FWD, RWD RS, and one AWD RS. No SS. Here is how the available trims price at MSRP with $0 down. Read this as the starting point before any discount.
| Trim | MSRP | MF (36mo) | APR | RV (36/12K) | ~Monthly* | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LT FWD | $46,390 | 0.00281 | 6.74% | 59% | ~$736 | Cheapest |
| LT AWD | $49,290 | 0.00281 | 6.74% | 59% | ~$782 | Best value |
| RS RWD | $57,385 | 0.00104 | 2.50% | 50% | ~$887 | Lowest rate |
| RS AWD | $61,034 | 0.00292 | 7.01% | 55% | ~$1,039 | Skip |

The RWD RS Rate Trap
The RWD RS has the lowest rate at 2.50%, but at MSRP it is the pricier lease. It stickers around $57,385 and holds only 50% residual, so it depreciates more than a $49,290 LT that keeps 59%. The RS rate only wins if you get the price down. Also watch drivetrain: the AWD RS jumps to 7.01%. Skip it.
Verdict — What to Target
Target a leftover LT AWD, ideally a courtesy vehicle. It has the most inventory, the deepest discounts, and it qualifies for the $3,000 Courtesy Transportation credit. At MSRP it leases around ~$782, but nobody should pay MSRP on this car. The discount is the deal.
The Real Lever Is the Discount
These are leftover units and dealers are clearing them. Advertised prices on 2025 LT AWDs are running $6,000 to $11,000 under MSRP in the local market. A $50,085 LT AWD showing at $38,995. A $52,985 courtesy unit at $42,549. A $49,290 courtesy unit at $42,244. That is real room, and it dwarfs the money factor as a lever.
One caveat. Those advertised numbers are purchase prices and can include offers that do not all carry to a lease, so confirm the lease cap cost line by line. But the sticker-to-price gap tells you how motivated the dealer is. On a lease, every $3,600 you take off the cap cost is about $100/month. Knock $7,000 off that $49,290 LT AWD and the ~$782 payment drops toward the high $500s.
Incentives: $0 Base, Conditional Stack on Top
Base lease cash is $0. The conditional programs are where the cash is: Courtesy Transportation CCR $3,000 (only on units retired from service-loaner duty, which many of these are), GM Lease Loyalty or Conquest $1,000, UAW or Employee allowance $1,500, and GM Rewards Card, Military, First Responder, or Educator $500 each. Most do not stack for one person. A typical shopper lands around $1,500 to $4,500 on top of the discount.
Bottom Line
The 0.5% deal is over and the SS is gone from local lots, but the 2025 Blazer EV is still a strong lease if you play the discount. Target a leftover LT AWD courtesy vehicle. It has the inventory, the biggest price cuts, and the $3,000 CCR. Want the lowest rate instead? The RWD RS at 2.50% is in stock, but only pencils out if you negotiate its higher sticker down.
The Play
Find a courtesy LT AWD advertised well below MSRP. Confirm the money factor is 0.00281 (6.74% APR), push the cap cost down to the advertised price, and apply the $3,000 CCR plus any loyalty or conquest cash. That path beats a full-price RWD RS despite its lower rate. A new 2026 SS, by contrast, is 7.44% APR at ~$976/month.
Payment Math & Assumptions
Every monthly figure here is a pre-tax estimate at 36 months, 12,000 miles per year, Northeast region program. Cap cost equals MSRP minus base lease cash only, which is $0 on the Blazer EV, with no down payment and no dealer discount applied. The residual is applied to MSRP per the program sheet. Acquisition and disposition fees are not included. MSRPs shown are representative local-inventory stickers, and actual units vary by options.
Tax, registration, title, and dealer doc fees are excluded and vary by state. Your drive-off cost depends on how your state taxes a lease, which can add several hundred to well over a thousand dollars at signing. Negotiating the selling price below MSRP lowers every number in the table above, which on these leftover units is the whole game.
