Chevy Highlights Blazer EV Features In 20 Seconds: Video

A new 19-second video from Chevrolet gives a whirlwind tour of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, putting the spotlight on its features without any distractions or fluff. The model’s main attractions, per the video, include:

  • 324 miles maximum range
  • 59.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo space
  • 11-inch digital gauge cluster
  • 17.7-inch infotainment screen

Notably, the 324-mile range on a single charge is achieved with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV configured with a rear-wheel drive (RWD) drivetrain, typically offering greater EV ranges than AWD vehicles. The maximum cargo space is achieved by folding the rear seats flat, and infotainment screen is “driver-centric” and tilted slightly toward the driver’s seat.

GM Authority has also explored the Blazer EV through videos. Our executive editor Alex Luft climbed behind the wheel of both a RWD and an AWD crossover of the RS trim level back in December 2023 in San Diego, California. He found the EV offered powerful acceleration and superb handling, the latter assisted by the Blazer’s low center of gravity and quality Bridgestone Alenza A/S 02 tires.

You can also check out our in-depth video tour of the Blazer EV interior, examining features, layout, materials, and more for the crossover’s 2024 model year. This includes a look at everything from physical buttons and the comfort of seats and panels, to the starting method for the EV, which simply consists of carrying the keyfob and pressing the brake pedal.

Another video covers use of the Blazer’s AutoSense Liftgate feature, including all the methods for opening and shutting the liftgate along with canceling those actions if necessary. The AutoSense liftgate function can also be disabled if desired in order to use the liftgate like an ordinary mechanical feature, without the technological frills.

As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV can be optioned with several different powertrain configurations, including front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive. The RS RWD produces 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque and is energized by a 102 kWh battery offering the 324 miles mentioned in the video.

The eAWD variants develop 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque, but are limited to an estimated 279-mile range by their smaller 85 kWh battery. All variants of the Blazer EV use GM Ultium battery and GM Ultium Drive motor technology. The GM BEV3 platform provides structure, with the model produced at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.

  1. 102 kWh battery offering the 324 miles
    Thats wasting a lot of energy to get about 270miles on the expressway. Wonder if all the niggles have been fix since the stop order was issued.

    1. The ICE Blazer wastes a lot more energy.

    2. If legacy automakers had taken time to make vehicles they could interchange the drivetrain, ICE or EV with the same model. It would have been a game changer. Flexibly would benefit the manufacturer with adjusting inventory. The 2025 BMW X1 and Mini Cooper Countryman share the same drivetrains and are available ICE or EV using the same platform. Hybrids have should have become optional before now, giving the CAFE ratings a boost without going full electric. No need to design two competing models, ICE and EV with entirely different exterior and interiors.

      1. I am not sure that is the best approach. EV’s center of gravity is in the under the seats/lower center of the car where ICE cars suspend the motor and trans in the front. Then there is crash protection which has to vary a lot based on the location of this weight. Then there is weight reduction suspension also changes with the kind of EV you make. So even though that sounds great and maybe a business guy would like it, in the end that doesn’t make for a good ICE or EV. It would add a ton of part swaps etc.

      2. There are a few cars/platforms that did exactly this, but they don’t make the best EVs. Usually heavier than they should be if they were designed as EV only and not as efficient as equivalent pure EV designs.

  2. It’s sad the styling of the Blazer EV was wasted on an EV. It attracts people like a magnet. Until, they find out it’s an EV. If it was an ICE vehicle, dealers wouldn’t be able to keep the vehicle on the lot. An ICE version would probably outsell everything in its class. As is, the market isn’t there. How do you make a case for making trip travel time longer? I see GM reps visit dealerships every month. Most of those factory representatives travel within a two hour radius of their home base. I have yet to see one drive an EV. If it doesn’t make sense for GM, why would it make sense for anyone else? What do GM factory representatives drive? Usually something with a 6.2 V8. Go figure!

    1. It makes a great a EV. Should do ok in the market.

      Checked one out today in person. Would consider one but it’s a bit bigger than I really need/want. Will wait to check out the Equinox EV and maybe the Volvo EX30.

      But it absolutely is waaay better inside and out than the best selling car in the world, the Model Y.

      It’s a shame GM fumbled the launch with the software glitches that gave it bad press, because otherwise I think they have a winner.

    2. When I read stuff like this I shake my head. Figure out must be a car salesman talking garbage. What makes an EV a great EV is range, charge speed, NACS charging, cost, features, software and looks. Typically they are fast reliable and better in every way. Clean air and cheaper to run.

      1. Yep. Salespeople like products that consumers want and are interested in buying. In case you haven’t noticed, EV’s have been dead weight for about the last 6 months.

        1. Sales people like gyp. Vehicles that break down and they can collect lots more money in the back for the boss. Having to learn about EV’s is hard and they might have to stop watching the game on their phones

          1. It’s obvious, you’ve never worked in a dealership or sold anything in your life. You can’t turn people into buyers when, they refuse to listen! As a salesperson working on commission, I will take the path of least resistance 90% of the time. I have sold my share of Bolt’s and Bolt EUV’s. People were interested in them. Blazers not so much. I have yet to have one person take a test drive. I haven’t had one sales call or customer visit the dealership regarding a Blazer and that’s a fact. As far as your “parts” comment. Tell me how much a battery replacement is and who will make money off of that? GM can’t tell me or you how much a battery or the individual cells will cost today, tomorrow, or down the road.

            1. I think you confuse the fact consumer reports called the blazer crap the price being 10k more than estimated with lack of interest. I have thought about the blazer until all those items scratches it off the list.

              1. Every market is different. My experience is zero interest. If there was any interest in the Blazer. GM wouldn’t have cut the price.

                Reply
                1. Do you comment there is no interest on all the ICE vehicles GM offers discounts on?

                  Reply
                  1. When trucks had $6,000 rebates, they sold. It hasn’t helped the Blazer yet. GM answered the question no one asking. I could see Chevrolet having an EV or two but they’re headed for bankruptcy with the current program. Just a matter of time.
