Now that everything in the market is changing rapidly and EVs are the future, the 2024 Chevy Blazer is expected to storm the scene as an efficient, athletic and appealing EV. The all-electric setup is already very popular thanks to its extended range, and a stance that is just as purebred and awesome as the gas-powered models it replaces.
The 2024 Blazer was originally revealed back in July, featuring a unique Ultium battery as a power source along with drive motor technology. With four trims available and an impressive selection of added technology features, the last ingredient that resonated with excited customers was an affordable price point during such a volatile market.
There are many configurations and wheel drive types, and this particular model allows for a very customizable form of appeal that lovers of rivals such as Jeep have flocked to in droves. The all-important driving range stat now hovers at about 300 miles depending on what trim you select. It is on par with competitors like the 2022 BMW IX, and Hyundai Ioniq 5, which both are right around 300 miles. Each trim includes onboard AC charging capability of up to 11.5 kW, and the amazingly game-changing DC charging of up to 190 kW.
The Chevy Safety Assist Package offers the addition of automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assistance with lane-departure warnings, forward collision alerts, following distance assistance and indicator, and intelligent high beams. Daily drivers love these features, but these extra and very beneficial tools have also paved the way for the Blazer to become a fully-fledged police pursuit vehicle. The SS Trim level just needs to be beefed up with skid plates, toughened-up tires, and additional racks for the duty of siren-flashing rounds.
The 2LT trim is where the front or all-wheel drive becomes an option, and the RS offers all configurations of front, rear, or all-wheel drive. With the creation and allocation of power being such a prime focus on every new model these days, the Regen on Demand system is another great feature that allows the Blazer to use One Pedal Driving to deliver useful kinetic energy back into the battery to add valuable range.

With its feature-loaded SS trim, excellent driving range, and segment-leading design, the Blazer was an example of a crossover SUV that went above and beyond a daily driver and just looks as if it’s ready to fully pounce from any angle.
