2024 Chevy Equinox EV vs 2024 Chevy Blazer EV: Dimensional Comparison

Chevrolet has several new all-electric models in its portfolio, including a few crossovers, namely the new Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Blazer EV. Both the Equinox EV and Blazer EV source motivation from GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors, and both ride on the GM BEV3 platform. However, sizing for these two all-electrics is notably quite different, as we’re laying out in the following GM Authority Dimensional comparison.

The front end of the Chevy Equinox EV.

Exterior Dimensions

When comparing the exterior dimensions of the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV and the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, it’s clear that the Blazer EV is the larger of the two models. All of the exterior measurements for the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV outsize those for the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV, with the biggest difference being overall width (with mirrors folded), where the Blazer is more than nine-and-a-half inches wider than the ‘Nox EV. The Blazer EV is also 5.5 inches longer in terms of wheelbase and 1.68 inches longer in terms of overall length, while front and rear track are both 2.45 inches wider in the Blazer EV. The smallest difference in exterior dimensions is in overall height, where the Blazer EV is 0.2 inches taller.

Blazer EV

Interior Dimensions

In the cabin, one might expect the Chevy Blazer EV to be significantly roomier than the Equinox EV, and, for the most part, those assumptions would prove correct. The Blazer EV offers more room in just about every measurement, with the biggest difference being rear hip room (3.09 inches). The Blazer EV also offers more front headroom (1.73 inches), more front hip room (1.45 inches), and more cargo volume behind the front seats (1.9 cubic feet).

However, the Blazer EV isn’t bigger everywhere, as the Equinox EV still has the Blazer beat when it comes to front-seat legroom (2.73 inches) and cargo volume behind the rear seats (0.9 cubic feet), as well as rear headroom without a sunroof (0.39 inches).

  1. So …… in the only measure that matters there is more dog carry capacity behind the rear seats in the Equinox. Right 🙂

    1. Your comment is reality for real people. They want practicality.

  2. First of all, I think EV are a scam. Second of all, the Equinox EV is a much better looking vehicle than the Blazer EV. When you factor in the price difference (both too darn high for what you give up v. gas versions)) the scant difference in interior size (I thought EV were supposed to be SO roomy because of a lack of space-hogging mechanicals) and much more approachable looks, the Equinox EV is clearly nicer overall.

    How about a four-way comparison of dimensions of the Equinox and Blazer, gas v. EV versions?

    Reply
  3. They are both WAY too close in terms of length. One will step on the other and the Blazer EV will lose. Just like Trax vs. Trailblazer, which GM said would never happen. Uh huh.
    Cargo capacity is pathetic in both for the size. So much for roomy EVs. Yet another nail in the coffin.

    2. I don’t even undertand why the Trailblazer exists. The Trax looks bigger, is styled better and is cheaper. In it’s segment, those are the only things that matter to shoppers…

  4. So many naysayers again. All of you suffer from the “Sour Grapes” syndrome. This means that you are against all electric vehicles because you cannot afford them!

    Reply
    1. Why would I want to spend more and get less in return? Resale value is a BIG one. Used EV are dirt cheap for a reason. It’s like buying a used phone. The Bolt and the Equinox EV are not particularly expensive, especially after buyers accept the taxpayer’s extorted “gift”. Yes, I bought a $26k Trax Activ last November. I traded in my $37.5k 2019 Colorado Z71, which was right in line 5 years ago with a new 2024 Equinox EV, if I wanted to.

      The Bolt is/was the friendliest EV to live with, the Equinox EV seems to follow that path, but man, there are too many minuses to consider one. And the Blazer EV? Open the hatch on one and tell me you are not underwhelmed with the cargo capacity. The roof is low, the cargo floor is high… like a mail slot. It’s like a 70’s car, big on the outside, tiny on the inside. Hilarious.

      Reply
      1. Yes dont forget the tax extorted gift to oil drillers as well as hundreds of billions spent in the MEast to keep the lanes open so some can have 3.50 a gallon gas and still complain. Take that away and I bet you would be paying quite a bit more but thats ok…riiiigggghhhht….LOL.

        Reply
      2. Thats why I bought a one year old used Bolt EUV… Best value & “bang for your buck” vehicle purchase I’ve ever made. I would never have considered spending $50K, $40K, or even $30K for an EV.. But at WELL below $20K for a 2023 low mileage highly optioned BOLT EUV under warranty, the monthly savings (differential of home charging vs gas) alone pays for the entire vehicle. In my opinion, the only way EVs become a no-brainer, is when they are CHEAP….

        Reply
    2. Not wanting something, and not being able to afford it are not one in the same. I saw that you made a similar comment in the thread about Cadillac not offering hybrids, and it’s a laughably ignorant assumption. I’m sorry we don’t all like the same thing that you do.

      I’m not an EV hater, but they don’t meet my needs. When I can take a 350 mile road trip in an EV with enough range to be 100% guaranteed to make it without stopping to recharge regardless of the weather just like I can do in my ICE and/or be able to “refuel” in about 5 minutes just like I can do in my ICE, they will have my attention. It would be great if they could do something about the weight so they don’t chew through tires at a faster rate too. Until then, no dice. I’m actually quite interested in the technology, and where it goes. I’m rooting for better battery technology, but everything seems to be a decade or more out further ensuring my next car will be ICE.

      1. Do you wear a diaper or use a catheter that you can drive 350 miles straight without stopping?

        With family we are stopping every couple hours for a rest and bathroom break or to eat a snack.

        And that’s usually for 15minutes at least. And with today’s EVs that enough time to get a decent charge and continue down the road.

        But I also agree with you. We are a two car family, one is a BEV and we’ve done some longer trips and regional trips in it no problems. With a couple being just over 300 miles round trip. Where we only needed one 10-12minute charge to get more than enough to get home with plenty of range buffer and it corresponded to a lunch break anyway so no time lost. But that was with just a couple people and not a lot of gear or luggage.

        But for our longer family trips it usually means a lot more gear and all of us going. So we take the PHEV minivan that’s super comfortable for long trips and can pack a ton of stuff in it.

        Would love to replace that with a BEV version, but no one makes anything that comes close in size and affordability. To replace the PHEV as the main family hauler for trips, 350-400 miles would be my preferred option. I’m not as concerned about “5 minute fill up” times though. As noted, we take lots of breaks anyway and even in our PHEV, a stop at a gas station takes way more than 5 minutes as we wait for people to go to the bathroom and get snacks or drinks, or when we had a dog, take the dog for a quick walk.

        Reply
      2. EV charging concerns are a bit of a joke, to be honest. You can already make a 350 mile trip in the same time as a gas vehicle, unless you were planning to drive ~5 hours without stopping to pee or eat. Meanwhile you save all the hours each year you would have had to spend stopping for gas.

        People who think current EVs don’t meet their needs are overwhelmingly likely to be people who have never bothered to actually find out if they would.

  5. Wow, what a waste, two crossover models with less than two inches difference in length. And to think that we lost the Camaro and the Malibu for these????

    Reply
    1. The Blazer is 10in wider with a long wheelbase. It’s going to look drastically different in-person side-by-side.

      They also are nearly the same height, but the Equinox EV, I think has about 1in-2in less ground clearance? So that’s a bit odd.

      Reply
      1. The numbers posted above in the chart are wrong. There is only 1.88″ difference in width between these two vehicles. Ground clearance is 1.49″ less on the Equinox.

        Reply
  6. Jonathan, your numeric information is extremely helpful in this comparison, since there is about a $10,000 price difference between them. Keep it up and just ignore the negative comments from the ignorant naysayers.

    Reply
    1. Yes, helpful in that it exposes the Blazer EV as giant on the outside, tiny on the inside, kind of like a 1974 Gran Torino. Or Monte Carlo. Makes the Equinox EV sound a little better. That is helpful for the few who entertain the notion of going EV.

      1. The room inside is more than ample please go drive one of they’re truly spectacular like legit home run s and with the tax credit and less expensive the ice!

    2. The ev equinox was going to be 30K now 43K with destination and this is the cheapest model LOL

      Reply
      1. The 2LT is 41,600, including destination. GM dropped the $30K Equinox 1LT in favor of the $35K 1LT about two weeks after they announced the return of the Bolt, which sits in that same 250 mile range slot.

        Reply
  7. If that width difference is correct, it must be largely a difference in how much the mirrors protrude when folded. The vehicles themselves are not significantly different in width, maybe a couple of inches.

    Reply
    1. The width specs are incorrect, showing Blazer EV width with mirrors out and Equinox EV with mirrors folded in. The actual width difference with mirrors folded in is only about 1”.

      Reply
  8. They weigh as much as a Tahoe… No one talks about that. Even Teslas – you see them dragging themselves around in yacht-like fashion. Bring back the weight-based registration fees for road repair (not that municipalities actually use the money for proactive repair anyhow)…

    Reply
  9. Chevrolet.com stopped showing the weight for Equinox, and Blazer (so no comparisons can be done?) and do not list it for Equinox EV nor Blazer EV – They DO show the weight of a Tahoe at 5,580. Equinox EV and Blazer EV are both in excess of 5,000 lbs. The weight of my 2024 Silverado CrewCab 4X4 is 5,095 lbs.

    1. *are each in excess of 5,000 lbs

    2. I don’t know about the Blazer EV, but the door placards on the Equinox EV 0RS I test drove last Saturday gave

      GVWR: 6,060 lbs (front is 53% and rear is 47%)
      Load Capacity: 1,117 lbs (from the tire pressure placard)
      Calculated curb weight: 4,943 lbs

      Reply
      1. ORS is likely two wheel drive and yet, if your data is accurate its just shy of 5,000lbs. Many/most will be AWD and have pano roofs, so will be close to the 4×4 Tahoe’s 5,500 lbs… My point.

  10. What are you talking about? EV sales continue to grow, albeit slower than expected due to the massive PR campaign against them instigated, in large part, by “He who shall not be named” and the modern day analogs of hostlers and buggy whip makers. Billions of dollars have been devoted to research that promises batteries that have nearly double current energy capacity, charge twice as fast and have a useful life of over 300k miles. Charging infrastructure (despite Elon’s flaky behavior) is becoming standardized and is also enjoying huge investments in expanding the number and speed of charging stations. Which is only marginally relevant since over 90 percent of charging is done at home. Finally, you will rarely find an opponent to EVs who has owned one. The convenience, low maintenance, quick and quiet acceleration and overall economy makes then the microwave ovens of personal transportation. Once you have one, you don’t want to live without it.

    Reply
    1. Microwave ovens? Perfect analogy. I’d rather cook over fire. Infinitely more satisfying.

    2. Yet, according to an October 2023 study:
      “In a seemingly bizarre yet tragic twist, a new study says that EV owners are a fickle bunch. After purchasing an electric vehicle, half of EV owners go back to ICE vehicles as either a replacement car or a second vehicle for their household – all with the exception of Tesla owners, who are (no surprise) notorious for their fierce brand loyalty.”

      1. If you purchase the wrong vehicle you’re always going to go back to the right vehicle.

  11. Two of the highlighted dimensions in this comparison are very wrong. Max width w/o mirrors is 78.02″ versus 76.94″ for a difference of only 1.88″ (not 9.56″). Front legroom is also bigger on the Blazer at 44.20″ versus 41.65″ (not 38.92″).

    The entire premise of this article that “sizing for these two all-electrics is notably quite different” is just wrong. The Blazer and Equinox are VERY close in almost every dimension.

  12. I’ve owned a Volt, currently drive a Bolt EV and have enjoyed both! That being said I still want my Blazer for longer journeys, having an EV & ICE vehicle is the best solution. Both have a purpose and pros and cons. I definitely prefer the parking and economy of the Bolt. I like the Blazer EV, the range needs to be about 350 on a base model. It’s going to take a couple of decades to get the infrastructure ready and consumers convinced to switch. Meanwhile having both will make the transition easier. Having worked in an auto service center for the past 15 years, after 30 years in the factory, realizing the lower maintenance cost of an EV is a big plus. No oil, coolant, hoses and belts to wear out. Less brake wear and no exhaust is all a huge plus. GM has done an excellent job on their EV’s so far. Keeping costs in line will determine who will experience more EV growth in the future. Economical models will entice most consumers to make the jump, not hi tech, high end products.

    1. I’m a Bolt EUV owner, and agree with the majority of your comment regarding an ICE & EV household. However, you may want educate yourself about how your own Bolt operates, and the MULTIPLE coolant reservoirs & associated hoses it utilizes before making some your claims about maintenance. In addition to the multiple coolant loop systems, you still have things like brake fluid, trasmission fluid in the reduction gear housing, suspension, bushings, control arms, tires, brakes and even 12volt battery.. While the required maintenance compared to an ICE vehicle may be less in some areas, in other areas they may actually require more. All machinery require’s maintenance, and an EV is no different in that regard

    2. Mostly agree, but the transition is going to happen faster than 2 decades.

  13. Interesting comparison. The Equinox EV feels roomier inside to me, and I think it’s because of the extra leg room and more forward swept windshield.

    Reply
    1. There isn’t extra legroom in the Equinox. The numbers in the chart above are wrong and were copied from the rear legroom. The Blazer has 44.2″, which is 2.55″ more than the Equinox.

      Reply
      1. Did you go sit in both? The Blazer EV feels huge and cramped all at the same size, so just looking at numbers and proclaiming someone wrong when talking about how something “feels” is not a viable argument.

        Reply
        1. Wow, you just made a giant leap. Nowhere did I comment on how either vehicle “feels”.

          The charts posted in this article have dimensions that are flat out wrong, and anyone taking the time to check GM’s official spec’s could see that. Too many people are basing their comments on those erroneous dimension numbers.

  14. Ground clearance? Why does no one mention this for vehicles that are supposedly “SUVS”?

    EqEV: Ground Clearance (in. / mm):
    6.4 (163)

    BlazerEV: Ground Clearance (in. / mm):
    7.9 / 200 (AWD)

  15. JL,
    Thanx for doing this. It is disappointing how many people love to complain but never thank. Whingers.
    I am thinking of getting one or the other. I’ll drive both. The Equinox is a bit closer to the GMC Acadia I am driving now.
    As with all EV’s, I am disappointed with the mass. Batteries are still too heavy.

    1. Well, my complaints are not about the site. The site is reporting on gm products, and overall they do a good job. My complaints are about the propulsion system, which I believe to be innately flawed. Not the site’s fault.

      Reply
      1. Yeah, ICE propulsion is very flawed. Very wasteful and inefficient, expensive to operate and maintain. Causes pollution, cancer, and asthma. Funds and supports terrorist countries, a source of major global conflicts and wars.

        It’s to bad GMA website dedicates so many posts about ICE vehicles.

        Reply
        1. You are only advocating for MOVING the pollution, not eliminating it. Drill, baby, drill! Isn’t the USA still a net exporter of petroleum? Is there a war going on over domestic oil? I’ve not seen that in the papers.

          Reply
          1. Very common misconception and deliberately spread anti-EV FUD.

            It is less polluting to charge an EV to drive vs burning gas. Yes., electric production creates pollution, but gasoline production takes a lot of energy and electricity to create and ship and pump as well. And the grid gets cleaner all the time. Renewables are now generating more power in the US than coal.

            In the “dirtiest” parts of the country, you would have to drive a car that gets at least 42-44mpg to beat an EV. On the west coast, more like 100-120mpg. In the NE some places would need to drive an ICE with more than 200mpg.
