Building off the momentum of the Bolt, the Blazer EV is Chevy's first model built on the GM BEV3 platform shared with its brand-cousin, the Cadillac Lyriq and Honda’s latest EV models. Along with the shared platform, the Chevy Blazer EV utilizes GM’s Ultium battery and electric motors that boasts 90% less wiring and reduced dependency on cobalt to reduce production costs and complexity. The Chevy Blazer EV has a host of feature options, including the choice of rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and either an 85 kWh or 105 kWh battery.
The Blazer EV’s sharp lines and wide stance give it a sporty look that midsize crossover buyers will appreciate along with access to SuperCruise, GM’s hands-free driving system. Those looks don’t come at the expense of power, with AWD trims able to push a healthy 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque and the RWD RS trim kicking it up a notch to 340 horsepower and 32 lb-ft of torque. With limited competition in the midsized non-luxury electric SUV space, the Chevy Blazer EV brings worthy competition to the Tesla Model Y and the Honda Prologue.
