The Chevrolet Blazer is back, and this time as an all-electric SUV for 2024. Chevy’s move into the electric realm is impressive, and the Blazer EV is a model that will leave drivers impressed. The Blazer EV is an all-new model within the Blazer family and comes with its own distinct body and interior. The vehicle will be offered in four different trims, including the 1LT, 2LT, RS, and SS. The mid-range 2LT and RS models will be the first to hit the market in summer 2023, while the top-spec SS trim will follow shortly thereafter, going on sale before the end of 2023. The 1LT trim will join the lineup in early 2024.
Chevrolet hasn’t released horsepower figures for the 1LT, 2LT, or RS models yet, but the range-topping SS model will come exclusively with a 557-hp electric powertrain with standard all-wheel drive. The 1LT is available only in a front-wheel drive arrangement, while 2LT models can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. The RS model comes standard with either front- or rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive optional.
Technology Packed
One of the most impressive features of the Blazer EV is its battery technology. The Blazer EV uses General Motors’ Ultium battery technology, which is a significant advancement in battery technology. The RS trim has the most range and is said to go about 320 miles on a charge. The entry-level 1LT model will deliver around 247 miles per charge, while the 2LT and SS trims offer a claimed range of 293 and 290 miles, respectively. The Blazer EV will be capable of charging on a DC fast charger, and Chevrolet says it can charge at up to 190 kW and add about 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
The Blazer EV is strictly a two-row affair, with a sporty interior-design motif that nicely matches the SUV’s aggressive exterior styling. The RS and SS trims feature a two-tone black-and-red color scheme, while a more monotone look is available for those who don’t appreciate the flash. All models come with a large 17.7-inch infotainment display that’s canted slightly toward the driver and framed on the left and the bottom by physical controls for the climate control system and a volume knob. A secondary 11.0-inch display presents the driver with gauges and other driving info. We expect to see plenty of standard connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.
Super Cruise and Driver Assistance Features
Chevrolet is bundling a host of driver assistance features together as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a parking assist feature. GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system is also available. Chevrolet provides standard coverage limits for the Blazer EV’s electric-powertrain components, which includes the first maintenance visit.
The Blazer EV is an impressive all-electric SUV from Chevrolet, and it is clear that the automaker is serious about its move into the electric car market. With impressive range, advanced battery technology, and a host of standard safety and driver assistance features, the Blazer EV is a solid choice for those looking for an electric SUV.
