General Motors is once again reinventing the Chevy Blazer, this time leveraging the nameplate in conjunction with the all-new 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. Now, we have our very first real-world photos of the battery-powered crossover testing in prototype form.
Although General Motors released a teaser of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV early last month, these are the first real-world photos of the new all-electric offering. According to our spy photographers, GM engineers were testing the new prototype alongside several examples of the Cadillac Lyriq. All of the vehicles operated in complete silence.
Although this prototype model is obviously covered in heavy camouflage, there are a few visual clues that help us to identify it as the forthcoming 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. The front fender, for example, gives us several nice reference points, despite the heavy black-and-white camouflage wrap.
A few of the clues include the charging door, seen taped up on the prototype, but identical in shape to the Blazer EV teaser seen last month. The fender shape and sculpting also look familiar, as do the sideview mirrors.
As for the rest of the prototype, the front end shows us placeholder lighting elements and some interesting aerodynamics, with the black design elements that flow down the sides for the fascia. Here, we also see what appears to be small air intakes that look to be similar to the air curtains used previously with the Chevy Silverado 1500. Also of note is the running gear, with 21-inch wheels wrapped in 275/45R21 Michelin rubber.
Early last month, General Motors gave us a teaser clip for the upcoming Chevy Blazer EV SS, set to rival other performance EV crossovers like the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The new Blazer EV SS will be the first Chevy EV to feature the iconic performance SS designation. Look for the new Blazer EV SS to make its debut later this year, with a launch in the spring of 2023.

Well, it’s something new and covered in Camo that much we do know, ha ha ha.
Looks like this is gonna be an ugly one
Rear wheels are massive!
Looks like it’s going to be fun!
RWD proportions, looking good. Maybe the camo, but it looks smaller than the current Blazer.
Probably has the same or more interior space, but it is shorter cause it doesn’t need as long a hood. No big ICE engine to fit in there.
Sigurd:
I agree. It has a good, substantial dash-axle section. That with the lower roof will make this a handsome vehicle.
I hope that color is available!
I wonder what the Vegas odds are on a bail out before 2025?
It still looks better than Ford Mustang EV.
Reminds me of the Buick Velite 6. Perhaps this is one of the two Buick EVs set to launch soon.
It’s interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing it.
Hmm, not too confident with the camouflaged front end though. It remains to be seen how this one will look. Hopefully it strikes a happy balance between conservative and scary.
I’m interested to see if it can Kill as effectively as other GM vehicles…
It’s actually their only claim to fame. If it’s an EV, keep in mind that Mary Barra says GM is the EV leader, lets hope it comes with an Electrocution Mode.
Get new material it’s dry and not original.
Also highly illogical.
Just keep building the ICE version for those of us who have no interest in an EV!
