The most stunning EV SUV on the road this year is the first-ever 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. The Blazer EV is the winner of Motortrend’s SUV of the Year 2024 award, which means this excellent electric vehicle got top scores across the board in categories like efficiency, safety, design advancement, engineering excellence, and performance.
Both trims of the Blazer EV have a single electric motor with a one-speed direct drive transmission and standard AWD drivetrain. This EV SUV has an EPA-estimated mileage of 103 MPG in the city, 88 MPGe on the interstate, and 96 MPGe combined. The LT AWD and RS AWD models have an estimated electric driving range of 279 miles, while the RS RWD upgrade has a driving range of 324 miles.
Charging is a major consideration for any electric vehicle. Each of the Blazer EV models can reach a full charge using a 240-volt charger in about nine and a half hours. Both trims come with an 11.5 kW onboard sharing model, which can support a Level 2 240-volt AC charger for optimal battery restoration. A dual-level charge cord for Level 1 and Level 2 charging is also standard.
LT
IntelliBeam and automatic headlights are standard for the LT model. The IntelliBeam feature automatically activates when the LT is traveling at speeds over 25 MPH and allows the SUV to turn the high beams on or off based on traffic conditions. A standard rear window defogger ensures your back window is always free of moisture that might cloud your view.
The LT has a six-speaker sound system with speakers spaced evenly throughout the SUV to provide a surround sound experience. Entertainment features such as Bluetooth audio streaming and a trial for SiriusXM radio are standard. This model also has an LED reflective windshield collision alert to draw your attention to potential frontal collisions.
RS
The RS has standard exterior features such as exterior choreography LED lighting, which provides animated lighting sequences for charging, walking up to the vehicle, and walking away from the vehicle. This trim has heated power-adjustable and power-folding outside mirrors with integrated turn signals and automatic dimming on the driver’s side to optimize your visibility under all weather and road conditions.
The RS comes with a massive 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen with built-in Google services, such as navigation and other connected apps. Natural voice recognition makes it easy to control your infotainment system without taking your eyes off the road. Multi-color ambient lighting is also standard.
