VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 VS CHEVY BLAZER EV: WHICH IS THE BEST "NORMAL" EV?

EV Channels Review

In a head-to-head comparison, the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S AWD and the Chevrolet Blazer EV LT present distinct approaches to the mainstream EV market. The ID.4 is lauded for its more engaging driving dynamics, quicker acceleration (0-60 in 4.8s vs. 6.5s for the Blazer), and superior efficiency (3.1-3.2 mi/kWh vs. 2.8-2.9 mi/kWh). Its smaller size and tighter turning radius make it more nimble and easier to maneuver in urban environments. However, the ID.4's interior, while comfortable, features less screen real estate and a less spacious feel compared to the Blazer. The Blazer EV, on the other hand, offers a more comfortable and relaxed ride, a larger and more spacious interior with significantly more rear legroom, and a quieter cabin. It also boasts impressive tech features like massive screens and the availability of Super Cruise (though not on the base LT trim tested). Its main drawbacks include slower acceleration, lower efficiency, a less engaging driving experience, and slower DC fast charging speeds due to its lower voltage architecture. The reviewer notes that the Blazer EV is currently available with significantly better lease deals.
