2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD

HIGHS
Supple ride, contemporary tech features, spacious cabin and cargo area.
LOWS
Pricey to start, AWD reduces range below 300 miles per charge, steering lacks feedback.
VERDICT
The Blazer EV is a handsome and competent electric SUV with a broad-and confusing-array of available powertrains.
Overview
When Chevrolet brought back the Blazer as a two-row mid-size crossover in 2019, fans of the original who were hoping for an off-road-ready SUV were vocal about their disappointment. Now comes another surprise wearing a Blazer badge, as Chevy takes the SUV with the storied name into the electric realm of autodom for 2024. The gas-free version is called the Blazer EV, and if you’re disappointed by the Blazer’s electrification take solace in the SS trim, which offers 557 horsepower and is said to be capable of hitting 60 mph in less than four seconds. While the SS seems tailormade to take on the likes of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and the Tesla Model Y Performance, three other more affordable, less powerful models are available as well. The Blazer EV uses General Motors’ Ultium battery technology, and the model with the most range will be the RS trim, which Chevy says will go up to 324 miles on a charge.
