2024 CHEVY BLAZER RS REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD is presented as a significant, albeit controversial, entry for General Motors. The reviewer acknowledges the Ultium platform's initial issues but finds the Blazer EV's styling to be a strong point, calling it "absolutely great" and a departure from typical GM design. The interior quality is also praised as "very, very nice" for a GM product, with a notable mention of the large, responsive screen. However, the review highlights several significant drawbacks: the lack of Apple CarPlay is deemed an "infuriating" and "deal breaker" issue, the presence of numerous rattles and build quality concerns (especially for a $70,000 vehicle) are heavily criticized, and the reviewer questions the long-term quality of GM products. While the driving dynamics, suspension tuning, and acceleration are rated positively, the reviewer ultimately cannot recommend the vehicle due to its high price, build quality concerns, and the absence of essential features like Apple CarPlay, despite acknowledging its solid engineering and good cargo space.
