THE 2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV RS IS A BIG STEP FORWARD INTO CHEVY'S ELECTRIC FUTURE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS represents a significant leap forward for Chevy's electric future, built on the robust Ultium platform. While it doesn't offer a frunk, its exterior styling, particularly on the RS trim, is lauded as attractive and modern, echoing the C8 Corvette's Riptide Blue. Inside, the massive 17.7-inch touchscreen and 11-inch driver display create a high-tech, premium feel, though the removal of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is a point of contention. The reviewer praises the comfortable ride quality, refined handling, and quiet cabin, noting it feels solid and well-built, comparable to the Cadillac Lyriq. Performance in the RWD and AWD models is described as acceptable for daily driving, with 0-60 mph times around 6 seconds, though it lags behind some competitors. The RWD model offers a more impressive 324 miles of range compared to the AWD's 279 miles. However, the pricing, starting around $57,000 for the 2LT and over $60,000 for the RS, positions it at the higher end of the segment, with significant overlap with the Lyriq. The lack of a base 1LT trim and the inability to get the panoramic roof on AWD models are noted drawbacks.
