2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
I love it!
As someone who has been considering pulling the trigger on an EV for a couple of years, I went and looked at the Blazer EV on a whim. All it took was the test drive. I was sold. I’m aware that the car had problems at launch, but the software has been fixed and I haven’t had any issues. I’m glad that more EVs are coming to market and giving car buyers option to choose. If you are in the market for an EV add the Blazer to your short list. I couldn’t be happier.

Disappointed with Blazer EV purchase.
Where do we begin? Excited we purchased our Blazer EV mid October 2023. Not even two weeks later our infotainment screen went blank without being able to be restarted. Scheduled an appointment and of course had to wait a few days to get in, the day before appointment the screen magically started working again. The following week, living in New England the temperature gets cold needing heat. Heat is not functioning unless using a hack of setting it to 72 using the app to start the car remotely. Once getting in to the car the air temperature is slightly warm and immediately changes to blowing cold air when you go to drive. Setting the thermostat to any other temperature, it continues to blow cold air only. Bring it in for service. One part for heat pump compressor is order and replaced. Pick up vehicle after being at dealership service center for 3 days, we were told we “sort of have heat”. Another part is required to get heat working fully but will take 10 days to come in. Bring back to dealership for second part to repair vehicle, infotainment system again goes down. 10 business days later we get car back in for repair for heat and infotainment system repair. During this 10 day wait time for scheduled service, infotainment system pops back on but has only a frozen screen rendering it useless to adjust any of the cars functions. Vehicle in for service, with NO communication from dealership on status for 10 service days. Get call from dealer that the heat is working and possibly screen back up and running but said there was now a camera issue. Vehicle still in for service with no help from GM or dealership as to when issues will be rendered. Frustration does not even begin to explain this situation.

It saved my Life!
I had the SUV for five weeks until a 17 year old turning left going 20 MPH hit me almost full frontal and I was going 40 MPH. Without the whole set of airbags and safety features, I would be dead. I’m impressed with the solid structure and build quality. The seats were more supportive than my Buick. The huge tires very good ones and the RS trim leans towards sporty but slightly stiff ride. I agree with others that the speakers aren’t great. It charges 4x faster than my Bolt. I set it up for off peak electric rates for charging. The infotainment interface is fairly ez to master compared to my previous Audi etron which the Blazer and Lyriq was benchmarked on. The Blazer’s range of 278 is fairly accurate around town. Range is more likely 200 at 75-80 highway speeds. Can’t tell you how many people said what a beautiful car even the tow truck driver and people at the scene of the accident! It had 2020 miles and didn’t have any issues. I saved 148 gallons of gas the first month.

In the shop after 2 weeks
Many electronic issues including failure of the infotainment system which is where all programed functionality is accessed from. Also, constant rubbing sound while driving. Only one dealer in the city is currently certified to work on the model and told extended wait for replacement so over 60,000 for the car and 300 miles total on the car it is dead in the water at the dealer (for one week already and advise it replacement will take a long time). Not recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Test drove a lot of EV's
I test drove a lot of EVs. Everything on this list Edmonds has. Kia I actually think is not the top brand like Edmunds says. They are all squished want to be SUV's. The Blazer EV felt like and drove like a normal suv. The interior is well thought out comfortable and luxurious. You don't have the model I drive even on here to select for review hahahaha, the RWD RS model, which I am getting 349 on a full charge 100% charge for longer trips. Again this vehicle is rated low by Edmunds for what it is. They say non bias but idk about that.
