GM Presents In-Depth Overview Of 2024 Chevy Blazer EV Police Pursuit Vehicle

The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV was unveiled in July of 2022, with GM pulling the sheets on a new midsize crossover propelled by The General’s latest all-electric vehicle technology. While the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV will be available to civilians in a wide variety of configurations and trim levels, Chevy will also offer a Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) variant to law enforcement, as GM Authority covered previously. Now, we’re getting a thorough look at what the new 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV has to offer thanks to a recently released video.

Clocking in at 12 minutes and 26 seconds, the video provides an overview of all the features of the first pursuit-rated EV based on the GM Ultium platform. Highlights of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV include a 400-volt all-wheel-drive propulsion system. Maximum output is set at 498 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. There’s also an even 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution for enhanced handling, while the onboard 105 kWh battery provides an estimated 250 miles of range on a full charge.

Upgraded heavy duty suspension and six-piston Brembo front brake calipers (matched to 15.3-inch rotors) help to handle the heft, while a set of underbody skid plates protect the bits under the body. The police crossover also rides on 20-inch steel wheels wrapped in Firestone Firehawk Pursuit tires.

The underlying electrical architecture is designed for the needs of law enforcement equipment, and features standard remote start, remote keyless entry, and passive power mode. When police officers exit the vehicle with the key fob, the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV will automatically arm Protected Idle mode, and will stay powered and unlocked, leaving equipment in the cabin active for quicker use. The vehicle will not be drivable until a key fob is detected.

Vinyl rear seating with heavy-duty vinyl flooring are included as standard on the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV 9C1 model, while the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV PPV 9PC retains a civilian-style interior.

  1. Those Hellkitty owners won’t know what hit em. ASP is going to have a field day. Haha!

  2. Wonder what the pursuit battery range is? Good on GM though for making it. Really, if the government want to force most of us into EV’s, given what a lot of government vehicles do, they should be the biggest buyer of them……but they aren’t leading by example.

  3. Coming from an ex-police officer, I can tell you that the last thing the police need is huge screens with tons of unnecessary junk to look at. In a true police cruiser, the more simple the better. And yes, I understand everyone has them now but that doesn’t make it the right thing. I remember the days when many departments wouldn’t even allow car radios (for music) because it distracted from the job.

    On top of that, the extra cost to buy these and the massive amount of tires they will go through (due to more weight and the higher power) will deteriorate any fuel savings they may have.

    1. what are you talking about? 14″ laptop screens in your face, 3-5″ camera screens, radar displays etc shoved everywhere have been standard equipment for years. you know what IS distracting in practice? trying to do everything on the radio (often multiple ones for different freqs). CAD has been a life saver. remember the time you would have a notepad trying to jot down stuff you heard or want to say before you forget it… probably not. you see, tell me you were a cop in the 70s in a town of 500 without telling me that 🙂

      1. lol: My response to your childish comment is that you probably have no idea what you are speaking about because I’m sure you have zero experience. I swear that some of you people on here take everything either personally or you just don’t actually read it.

        So your attempt to make my comment look bad only reinforced what I’m saying. Police officers have WAY too much distraction going on already. There’s zero need for 72″ screens sprawled over the entire dash with a million more things than they need to have. Simple is preferred and safer. doesn’t matter if you are the top cop in New York or Andy in Mayberry.

        1. I’m a law abiding citizen who makes a reasonable living removing those television screens and all the crap involved from new vehicles. We even install C/D players, remember those?
          That little fish fin on the roof of your rolling TV station is your link to all agencies of the government and the interwebs. It is also their connection to you, drive safely.

    1. That thing will catch anything on the road with maybe the exception of a Tesla model S Plaid.

    tried to edit comments with my very limited cell phone.. Not happening here. I also tried to post an abbreviated comment at
    here just now, but it says ‘duplicate’ and wont post it…

    Please either eliminate the superfluous stuff at the beginning of the existing comment, or else find the abbreviated comment and delete the exceedingly long one. Thank you.

  6. Two concerns. Law enforcement vehicles have enormous electrical loads. Are the batteries used capable of enough deep cycle ability to handle all this with reasonable recharge time? This was not directly addressed. Second, the officers shown entering and exiting the vehicle are notably smaller in stature than the average officer. Is there really enough interior space to accommodate an average sized officer?

    1. GM didn’t make all officers equal, Colonel Colt did. LOL
      I’m sure they’ll fit in there just fine.

    2. ACZ:

      Although GM seems to be entering their “Second Childhood” as far as Silly 12 volt troubles on multiple ice and battery vehicles, the Blazer EV has an advantage over an Ice vehicle since the (estimated by me) 200 amp alternator replacement COULD be energized as often as necessary, but an ICE cruiser must have the engine on to make juice .

      Seeing as Blazer EV is much like a large Lyriq, only the fattest Tub of Lard wouldn’t fit.

      I’m sure even that gravity “Challenged” Jardiance dancer could shoehorn herself in there.
