2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Smooth ride
The blazer EV checks all the boxes for a midsize electric SUV. The ride is surprisingly supple, it handles well, it’s very quiet, and the cabin is comfortable and spacious. The legroom for rear seat passengers is particularly good. The infotainment system is easy to use and has had no glitches at all. I have watched The range of the vehicle, and so far the efficiency is somewhat better than advertised. The one pedal driving is a good range extender and works very well. People have commented on the styling, and the deep metallic red is my favorite. My only complaint about this vehicle is that the rear visibility is Somewhat limited. However, the excellent camera system can help with visibility in all directions. This is a smoother more comfortable alternative to the model Y.

Had my Blazer EV for a Month Now...
Love it! Drives smoothly - good on rough asphalt roads and is fast enough for me. I've been driving the smaller Chevy Bolt for the past (7) years - and with almost a 100k miles on it (with no problems whatsoever - I decided to test drive the good looking Blazer EV. Got a good deal with all of the incentives involved.

Program Issues
Day one of ownership had trouble warning ⚠️ on dash to Shut down car may cause fire 5 minutes after that rear passenger lights start blinking rapidly and light go out. Brought back to dealer, said everything okay later that day same issue with light. Brought back they had 40 codes in system. That was 11/13/23 car still at dealer.
Easy entry for first EV
I went for the RWD Blazer EV for the bigger battery, more power, sunroof, and the better sound system over the AWD version as the lease deals were crazy. I love the instant torque and can get the back end to step out and play if I drive like an idiot. My 4 year old loves to do a 3-2-1 countdown for intense acceleration, and it puts a smile on both of our faces. In the corners, the vehicle handles well for a family SUV, not like a sports car, but far ahead of our old Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid which in comparison felt like a stumbling elephant in corners. The blazer EV is very easy to live with and I really enjoy owning this car. I have driven 3,000 miles so far, but I haven't used a level 3 charger so I can't comment on that aspect of ownership. Charging for a few hours a once or twice a week on my HOA's free L2 chargers while I sleep is all I need to keep it moving. I have had zero mechanical issues with the car thus far. The driving tech is pretty good; lane keep assist and the radar cruise control are great in traffic in the DC area, makes for easy commuting. This is a 80% win for me; so close to greatness but betrayed in the details and delivery. The car came logged into someone else's Google account and Onstar was not set up correctly either. It took two weeks to clear it all out and get the onstar connection set up. It was not clear what service was included until I finally got the EV concierge on board from onstar. Even after getting the onstar engineers on it, the AT&T connection is often lacking, so I often end up tethering my iPhone for my connection to get things to work. I live in a heavily populated area with great AT&T coverage so I am not sure if it is the cars cell antennae or AT&T and de-prioritizing service. The google maps work great, with a decent internet connection. I use the youtube music app and it works well and is set up with my youtube music account. This is the first car I have driven where voice controls worked and weren't a party trick to show off and then never actually use. I use them daily. Honestly the only thing I miss not having carplay is easy texting. The google system can't text a group, and sometimes stumbles with reading messages. Overall, the entertainment system took way longer to set up than necessary with a lack of delivery assistance and the connection issues, but its pretty good. There are nitpicks outside of the infotainment as well; the automatic rear hatch was so sensitive it would open if I was just standing next to the car when I was putting my son in his car seat and I had to turn it off. The car came with two heavy duty tow hooks, one of which was smashing everything in the glove box. The car only has one storage location for a towhook, so unsure of what to do with the second. I found a bag of plastic covers that are supposed to cover the jack stand locations, but this was not in any documentation that came with the car. Finally, while all windows are one touch down, only the drivers door is one touch up. Seems like a cheap thing to overlook in a $55k car when there are so many other bells and whistles. Overall, I like my car and just wish there was more support from Chevy for it.

Best riding vehicle I ever owned
Update: i still love my Blazer EV RS....the only negativeis that it loses range in winter due to the temps. Also, i bought an attachment so i can charge at the Tesla supercharger. Would stii definitely buy this vehicle again!! .First off, invest in a home charging system to save yourself headaches. It charges quickly with a 240 volt outlet. I've been getting so many compliments on how beautiful it is...riptide blue with black and the huge fancy wheels. The infotainment center is amazing! Even messages can be answered hands free. Backseat are heated too! The safety technology is impressive....if you come too close to another vehicle, it automatically brakes for you. That was weird the first time it came on, but saved me from rear ending a stupid driver in front of me. This suv drives like a dream, smooth and comfortable with no noise. I love everything about it and feel good about not polluting the earth further. No more oil changes or gas....just wonderful. The interior styling is gorgeous with rocket looking air vents and ambience lighting on them that you can choose the color. Everything looks very expensive and well thought out when it was designed. Had a gas blazer before this ev and it drive bumpy because it was 2000 pounds lighter. You won't be disappointed buying this suv!
