2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV First Look | Chevy's Mid-Sized EV Alternative

[@allanedwards2347]

Looks like a winner. Bolt-BoltEUV-Equinox-Blazer is the first full lineup spanning hatchback to mid-size crossovers. Each is the value leader in their respective category. Silverado-Lyriq-Hummer are out their as flagship vehicles to pull you into the showrooms. Chevy will only be limited by how many they can build...

[@markmiller3279]

@@205rider8 That makes no sense at all. This is a simple design decision. If they had included a frunk they would have had to make the hood longer. That space has to be designed in - it doesn't show up magically because of component design choices. For whatever reason Tesla opted to include them, and most other automakers either have included very small ones or none at all. That was a reasonable decision when the vehicle already had a cargo area.

[@ElliotGeno]

Then you have not had a frunk! When you go on long trips with kids, every spare inch is useful. Also, my favorite thing about frunks is putting the take out in the frunk so it doesn't stink up your new car! GM simply bought off the shelf components and did a poor job packaging them under the hood. If other AWD EVs can fit a giant frunk with a front motor, suspension and HVAC, there's no reason GM couldn't either. They just didn't bother to or skimped on it.

[@billyrock8305]

Great summary as always Alex. GMs site says LT2 and RS on sale Summer 2023, and RS available in 320 mile version (largest pack) in RWD configuration. Is FWD only with mid-sized battery, and that’s why FWD versions have lower range than RS RWD? Again thanks for the look at GMs show Porto!!

[@111danish111]

My pick would be the RS 320 miles with available RWD . Is this not considered mid size battery pack ? I'll even opt for the AWD that would incur some 30 miles range penalty getting the total range below 300 miles which might be worth it for our brutal Chicagoland winters but more importantly the availability of GM Super Cruise.

[@daves1646]

Just do it with a regular blazer and equinox lo. The only real difference is just more width on the interior, just feels more roomy, a little bit more of cargo area, and more amenities. The blazer has more presence, and just feels like a bigger vehicle, the equinox is the more budget friendly choice, and tends to be easier (not more fun) to drive.

It's a hatchback. Not a hole bunch more than a VW Rabbit from the 1970s. I personally had a 1979 that routinely got mid 30s mpg. Honda Civic HR was getting upwards to 50 mpg. That was 40 years ago. What the government slash car companies are making these days is ridiculous.

[@forumtyish]

I think the offer of AWD/FWD is a lame excuse to not have a frunk. I mean, a Tesla Model 3 and Model Y with AWD still have a small-ish frunk, so there should be no excuse for the Blazer to not have room for one even with a motor up front. Tesla has a heat pump too and they found a way to package it all. Packaging is important and it sounds like GM is still not quite there when it comes to optimization of their dedicated EV models. I say this as someone who is seriously considering the Blazer SS as a replacement for an existing Tesla.

[@Toymonkeyjr]

You realize a tesla is a luxury vehicle. It costs a lot more money and R&D to develop a vehicle that can have a frunk while being fwd/awd drive. That's where they usually have the battery pack. Just a different design. I think you neglect how complicated designing these vehicles are, especially at this price point. Plus chances are most blazer EV customers would rarely use a microscopic front trunk.

[@forumtyish]

One can quibble over what is and isn’t “luxury”, including having various storage spaces in a utility/crossover vehicle, but in case you don’t realize, the Blazer EV is slated to offer what is arguably more luxury features than the Tesla Model Y currently offers, including ventilated seats and head-up display. I personally don’t consider the Tesla 3/Y to be a luxury vehicle, but sometimes it gets put into that category for one reason or another (to be clear, I know what the reasons are, I’m just refraining from going further down that rabbit hole here). As for R&D, the Blazer EV is using GM’s famed new Ultium platform which, in case you aren’t aware, has a modern skateboard style battery package accommodating FWD/AWD configurations. I’m not sure why you would suggest that the frunk area is where the battery pack would be on an Ultium based vehicle. I also don’t think most folks, and certainly not GM, would consider Ultium to be some sort of budget EV platform with cut-rate R&D expenditures. You can think whatever you want about my understanding of such EV platform complexities, but I think I made it clear in my previous message as to the scope of my comment regarding packaging of components, in what GM absolutely touts as a top-tier dedicated EV platform. Maybe you don’t think Blazer EV customers would have use for it, but I would like for it to have a frunk at least the size of a Tesla Model Y, which I also didn’t call microscopic. I think a lot of people would find such a thing useful. Customers, especially SUV customers, are often asking for more storage space, not less.

I'm having a really hard time figuring out the dimensions of the Blazer and Equinox EV. How would you say this competes in size with the Mach E? I have my name down for both the Blazer and Equinox, and will be deciding as we get closer to rollout as to which one I'll order. Finally, I know Chevrolet advertised the Equinox EV as being able to tow up to 1500lbs in the AWD version. Any idea if they mentioned towing capability with the RS RWD, or will AWD be required to tow? I know the Lyriq requires AWD to be towing rated so I'm assuming Blazer fits that as well. Thanks!

[@phillyphil1513]

re: "I'm having a really hard time figuring out the dimensions of the Blazer and Equinox EV." can't speak for the Blazer (other than it's huge, like BMW iX huge) but the Equinox is definitely the size of the Kia EV6/Mustang Mach E. so if you see either of those out on the road then you'll have a good reference for size in the real world.

[@cypvh74]

Based on comments from GM about the size difference between the gas equinox and EV equinox, and then comments they made about differences between blazer EV and equinox EV, I put this together. Equinox EV Wheelbase: 116.3in 190.4” L x 75.8″ W x 63.1″ H Cargo: 57cf (rear seats folded) Blazer EV Wheelbase: ?? 192.4” L x 78.5″ W x 64.1″ H Cargo: ??

Good review. I like the interior but there's a bunch of exterior aspects that bother me. 1. Rear quarter window. The vehicle looks like a sedan which was redesigned as a wagon/suv. It almost looks like theres mini camper top on the back. 2. 6-lug wheels tells me this vehicle is super heavy. Like the Lyriq I'm guessing this thing is almost a half ton heavier than a MachE, which is already a heavy vehicle. 3. Charge port door looks like it's going to break off in short order.

[@phillyphil1513]

re: "Rear quarter window." yeah I noticed that too. it's badly designed there for some reason, so much so, that it had me hoping it looks that way because this is just a prototype and that GM would fix that in production. but sadly it's probably going to look that way in final form. thankfully the rest of the design is stunning, but that area DOES detract from the overall silouhette, I find it hard to believe no one inside the GM/Chevy design studio can see that.

Wow, it's almost like you need larger tires for a 600hp ev with instantaneous torque as soon as you press the pedal down. Especially with inexperienced drivers hopping in this car.

Why would someone pick this over Lyriq which has same price level. Cadillac quality is better than chevrolet.

SERIOUSLY! What is with EV makers and glass roofs? Do they want me to go buy a Model S? I really don't want a Tesla. Don't make me buy a Tesla!

[@laloajuria4678]

Only important if people can actually buy it...

[@mybro727]

So stupid. 🤡

[@justin9152]

This kinda makes the Tesla Model Y look bland.

[@Yendi233]

GM needs to start working on vehicles with frunks. They are shrinking the trunk space and leaving out, arguably the best part of an EV... the extra cargo space available in a frunk!

If you're willing to pay 10k more msrp, then sure. That cost a lot of r&d especially with the features they're giving you and the range at that price. If you want more space just wait till they have a traverse or tahoe ev. Frunks are complicated based on the design of the battery and drive unit.
