THE 2024 CHEVY BLAZER EV IS FINALLY A COOL CHEVY BLAZER

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the highly anticipated 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, highlighting its significant departure from its gasoline-powered predecessor. DeMuro emphasizes that this is an entirely new vehicle built on GM's Ultium platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Cadillac Lyriq and Honda Prologue. He notes the Blazer EV's attractive, mainstream styling, which he believes will appeal to a wider audience than the Lyriq. Key features discussed include the impressive dual-screen interior, the physical volume dial, and the column-mounted gear selector. The SS trim, the focus of this review, boasts a powerful 560 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, promising 0-60 mph in under four seconds, though real-world range is estimated at 290 miles for this performance variant, with higher trims potentially reaching 320 miles. DeMuro also points out the availability of front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive across the model range, a flexibility enabled by its electric architecture. While unable to drive the pre-production model, DeMuro expresses excitement for its upcoming release, calling it the first 'cool' Blazer in a long time.
