Chevrolet’s 2027 lineup is losing a hybrid Corvette, an electric delivery van, and several entry-level trims, and a few of them will be hard to find once the last ones sell. Some of the changes are announced facts; others are reports that Chevrolet has not yet confirmed in detail. Here is the full list, sorted by how much it matters to a shopper, and what to do about each one.
The Corvette E-Ray Is Gone (Meet the Grand Sport X)
The E-Ray was Chevrolet’s first hybrid, all-wheel-drive Corvette (655 horsepower), and it does not return for 2027. The Grand Sport X replaces it. It keeps the hybrid all-wheel-drive formula and adds the new 6.7L LS6 V8, for a claimed 721 horsepower. A conventional Grand Sport (535 horsepower, rear-wheel drive) fills out the family. If you wanted an E-Ray specifically, any 2026 still on a lot is the last of them; if you wanted the idea of an E-Ray, the Grand Sport X is the better answer.
The BrightDrop Electric Van Is Done
Chevrolet confirmed in October 2025 that it was ending production of the BrightDrop 400 and 600 vans at its Ontario plant, citing slower-than-expected demand for commercial electric vans, and it never moved the van to another factory. Existing owners keep service support. Fleet buyers who still want a Chevrolet cargo van can look at the gas-powered Express (Kunes Commercial Truck and Fleet can help with that conversation).
The Bolt Is Back, but Not for Long
The Bolt returned for 2027 with a 260-mile range and an LFP battery, launching below $29,000 (the lowest-priced new EV in the country at the time). Chevrolet described it as a limited run from the start, and reports say production at the Fairfax, Kansas plant ends in mid-to-late 2027 so the factory can build gas-powered vehicles. If a cheap EV is on your list, the window is real, and it is closing.
The Budget Trims Are Disappearing
Trax LS and 1RS
The refreshed 2027 Trax drops the LS and 1RS and consolidates to three trims. The LS was the cheapest way into a new Chevrolet ($23,495 for 2026), so the lowest starting price goes up. The 2026 LS and 1RS models still on dealer lots are the last of their kind.
Trailblazer LS and Activ
The Trailblazer loses its base LS for 2027, and the Activ gives way to a new Z71 (the LT and RS stay). Reports also say the 1.2L engine option is going away, which would leave the turbocharged 1.3L on every trim.
Silverado EV RST
The Silverado EV drops the RST trim, and the number of available configurations falls from 10 to seven. Our 2027 Silverado EV guide covers what remains.
Small Changes Worth Knowing
A few departures are minor but real. Galaxy Gray Metallic and the Summit White roof leave the Blazer EV, and Cacti Green leaves the Equinox palette. The Blazer EV and Equinox EV also switch from the CCS charge port to the NACS port used by Tesla Superchargers, so if you own a Blazer EV today, ask about adapters.
What Is Not Going Away
Most of the lineup carries on, including the Silverado 1500 (which is being redesigned rather than dropped; see why 2027 Chevrolets may be harder to find), Tahoe, Suburban, Equinox, and Colorado. If your favorite is not on the list above, it is staying.
What to Buy Now
Discontinued does not mean gone tomorrow; it means the supply only shrinks. The Trax LS, Trax 1RS, and Trailblazer LS are the clearest last-call buys, since the 2026 versions carry the lowest prices those trims will ever have. The Bolt deserves a phone call if you want an affordable EV. For the E-Ray, the BrightDrop, and the Silverado EV RST, what is on the lot now is what there will be.
