THE 2024 CHEVY BLAZER EV RS AWD IS A WELL-ROUNDED BLEND OF STYLE & TECHNOLOGY

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD presents a compelling package, blending stylish exterior design with modern technology. The reviewer highlights its comfortable ride quality, solid handling, and a respectable real-world range of approximately 270-275 miles in hot weather, exceeding the EPA estimate. Positives include the spacious interior, particularly rear legroom, and the intuitive Google-based infotainment system with excellent native navigation. However, significant drawbacks are noted: the controversial removal of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a somewhat compromised cargo space relative to its size, and disappointing seat bolstering on the RS trim. The reviewer also points out the perplexing absence of features like a panoramic sunroof and Super Cruise on this trim, which are available on less expensive GM EVs. While the Blazer EV is a competent daily driver, its close sibling, the Equinox EV, is suggested as a potentially better value proposition due to its lower price, better range, and comparable or even superior feature set, raising questions about market differentiation.
