“Chevrolet has truly nailed the design and functionality with the Blazer EV, which looks and operates just as an industry-leading all-electric SUV should,” said Ed Loh, MotorTrend Group head of editorial. “The Chevy Blazer EV offers an effortless driving experience, seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle, and boasts user-friendliness that’s hard to match.”
MotorTrend’s “SUV of the Year” title is awarded to vehicles exhibiting the highest product excellence over the past 25 years.
The Blazer EV was evaluated on six key criteria: safety, advancement in design, engineering excellence, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. The vehicle’s all-around excellence impressed MotorTrend’s panel of judges.
“We are excited and honored to receive this recognition for the Blazer EV,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “This vehicle takes convenience and customer choice to the next level, a major step in delivering on Chevrolet’s promise to provide an EV for everyone.”
The 2024 Blazer EV, available in multiple trims (LT, RS, and Chevy’s first-ever electric SS), features a 17.7-inch-diagonal customizable infotainment touchscreen, and is offered in front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive configurations. The EPA has certified the RWD model with a range of 324 miles on a full charge.
Chevrolet’s initial launch edition, the Blazer EV RS AWD, is currently available, priced at $60,215, excluding applicable federal tax credits. Pricing for the remaining Blazer EV trims and drivetrains, including FWD variants of the RS and LT, will be announced closer to their launch dates in 2024.
