LIVING WITH THE 2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV RS AWD

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD is presented as a practical and stylish family-oriented electric SUV, though its $60,000 price point is noted as a significant consideration. The reviewer highlights its Ultium platform architecture, shared with other GM EVs, and praises its comfortable highway cruising capabilities, well-tuned steering, and smooth regenerative braking system. Positives include the spacious interior with a flat rear floor, heated rear seats, and a well-integrated Google-based infotainment system with excellent navigation. However, significant drawbacks are identified: the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a somewhat unrefined suspension that feels slightly unsettled for the vehicle's weight, and a squinty rear visibility. The reviewer also expresses disappointment over the absence of Super Cruise on this trim, especially compared to the smaller Equinox EV, which is considered a better value and a superior driving experience by the reviewer. While the Blazer EV is deemed a capable commuter with acceptable range and charging speeds, its higher price and certain feature omissions make it less compelling than its smaller sibling.
