2024 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV RS AWD: START UP, TEST DRIVE & IN DEPTH REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD is presented as a well-rounded midsize electric crossover that aims to make EV ownership more accessible. The reviewer highlights its conventional yet modern and sporty design, avoiding the "age quirkiness" seen in some EVs. Key positives include its comfortable ride, dynamic driving feel due to the low center of gravity, and a well-integrated, responsive infotainment system, despite the omission of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer found the one-pedal driving system to be particularly effective. On the downside, the reviewer notes the initial unfamiliarity with the infotainment system's controls and the lack of traditional smartphone integration, though they ultimately found the system usable. The RS AWD model tested offers a good balance of performance and range, with an EPA-certified range of 279 miles. The interior is praised for its spaciousness and quality fit and finish, though the all-black interior is described as somewhat utilitarian. Overall, the Blazer EV RS AWD is positioned as a strong contender in the growing EV market.
