Does the Chevrolet Blazer qualify for the car loan interest deduction?

The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Chevrolet Blazer is built and what it means for your loan interest.

FAIL — assembled outside the USA
The Chevrolet Blazer does not qualify on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer

The Chevrolet Blazer — both the gas model and the Blazer EV — is built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, so it fails the OBBBA final-assembly-in-America test. Being new and personal-use doesn't help, because the SUV isn't US-assembled. Shoppers who want a US-built Chevy SUV should check the Traverse (Michigan) or Tahoe (Texas).

Where the Chevrolet Blazer is assembled

The Chevrolet Blazer is imported for the US market — its final assembly point is outside the United States, so it fails the assembly test regardless of the brand.

Confirm the other three tests

A US-assembly result is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:

New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Check your exact VIN → Estimate your deduction

Frequently asked questions

Is the Chevrolet Blazer made in America?
No. Both the gas Blazer and the Blazer EV are assembled in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, so neither meets the US final-assembly requirement.
Does the Blazer EV qualify since it's electric?
No. The deduction turns on US assembly, not the powertrain, and the Blazer EV is built in Mexico, so it fails the assembly test.
Which Chevy SUV is US-built instead?
The Traverse (Lansing, MI) and Tahoe/Suburban (Arlington, TX) are US-assembled. Verify the plant with the VIN before counting on the deduction.
