Is the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS a better SUV than a Ford Mach-E? 

Good morning everyone! The media drive finally happened for the all new Chevy Blazer EV RS. We were able to drive (2) different motor configurations and both are in this review. Let me know in the comments if you are digging this Blazer EV RS.

Chevy deserves some credit in making a great looking SUV EV. It's got to be one of the best designs offered from any of the commodity automotive manufacturers. I love how they give some depth and personality to the front grill fascia as well as a striking silhouette. Looks better than their Cadillac variant.

I think they should have created a hybrid, use the stamping from those pickups from the mid-sized pickups to offset the hybrid engine.

I love the dashboard and infotainment setup. Looks way better than the screwed on IPAD look of the Model Y and Mach E

Seems like another overpriced vehicle

Aside from it being a BEV Joe, I like Chevy is offering. For me the price is a but high, but I'm glad to hear they're offering the LT model now. My favorite part is the interior. No wonder why the 2024 Traverse adopted this dashboard and the 2025 Tahoe and Suburban. Fingers crossed 🤞 the 2025 Equinox will follow in their footsteps. P.S. Hope the first drive of the 2024 Traverse is soon!

This design is beautiful.

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I only trust the AJAC of Canada thanks for sharing this video hello to Joe and Lori 😊, this ev is $62,000 cdn

Joe and Lori thank you for bringing me a Chevy fan some awesome content with this Blazer RS EV, I'm excited for the SS as well!

One correction needed. The back floor is NOT completely flat. There is a raised section in the middle. It is not the carpet. I test drove one of these and it didn’t have a carpet in the back Pressed on it and it was solid. Not sure why it wasn’t completely flat.

I'm confused by the pricing. You can buy a Cadillac LYRIQ luxury AWD for around 66K. The SS version is about the same money. The LYRIQ is built on the same platform. It's a great looking vehicle and it has a nicer interior. To each there own I guess. Cheers!!!

Amazing review Joe.

If this Blazer were any shorter, it would be an official, full-on hatchback. 😂😮😅😂

Good video Joe can't wait to see it in person 😀

That color looks wild!

I get why some don’t like artificial engine sounds pumped into the cabin of their vehicles. I would like to be able to manually turn the sounds off, make it louder, and choose the sound. Seems like something auto manufacturers could do.

Great review as usual!

No shot with this. It's gonna take something special to pry me out of internal combustion. It's ok but nearly $70K for the top trim. I'll pass. Give me that color though

Way to go Joe and Lori! Another great video!

Love the car. But would love to see the blooper reels for this video haha

Some say it's mystic It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't resist it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie You can't do without it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie

J ~ I like it, Chevy is on top of its game. tony

Its a nice looking Blazer but it needs better range, there is no excuse IMO why the one motor version can't get 400 miles range, the batteries are out there they just need to use them and it is a missed opportunity IMO. ------ Also totally agree there should be a Frunk especially on the rear motor model. Thanks Joe and Lori !

Always the best auto reviews. Thanks for mentioning there is no Apple airplay or Android Auto, not everyone is pointing out this major zunk!

Another fantastic review, thank you. With no Android Auto/Crapple CarPlay... do you know if there's any way to play your music lists? I use RU-vid Music with several playlists... I wonder how I'd access them?🤔🤔

I like the color

Hell yes. I would really like american vehicles to become harder hitters considering hyundai and kia really have made bold progress. This vehicle looks wonderful, its distinct and unique, has all the features u would want

Love the Blazer EV, waiting on the Equinox EV to make it to dealers. And hopefully a review in the near future 👍

I love the plastic cover I feel like it looks good.

Get ready to pay 50k on a new battery once your warranty expires 😂

Ive been waiting for this review🙌

At this cost it’s wiser to get the lyriq

Is it just me, or are the wheel bases HUGE? There is such a large gap between the actual tire and wheel arc! Also, I like the D-pillar design, with the window running all the way through the back. Makes the roof appear to be 'floating." Cool design aspect.

Love the ride Joe but the lack of a front truck is 100 percent a zonk. You agree?

Joe, I wish you would have spent a bit more time going through infotainment in depth. Being that android auto/carplay are gone I'd like to know all the ins and outs like apps (if any), Google assistant, split screen multi-tasking etc. Maybe just one video dedicated to a in depth review since GM will have the same in a lot of vehicles. Anyway great video as always!

Ford - Here is Bronco Raptor, wait for Bronco Raptor R. Chevy - Let me find another way to murder the iconic name.

I actually had one on reserve but the no Apple Carplay is a deal breaker for me. I basically like everything about the car and the whole no frunk thing I think is way overblown but them essentially forcing you into a system that eventually you have to pay a subscription fee for made me change my mind & get a Mach-E instead.

Help me understand how that tiny rear wiper is helpful

Great review Joe. I just wish the manufacturers will put out how much it would cost to replace the batteries with these EV

I like the color on the new blazer

best reviewer I've seen!

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true and I love old blazer rs better look good and new blazer ev 💯

love the fact that the measurements aren't in liters or gallons. Instead its in Twinkie's boxes which I understand so much better! Kudos

Been waiting for this review and also waiting for the Equinox EV review. Also I think we are all unhappy with the price of the vehicle. It's overpriced. Thanks!

Nice car but the charging port door should’ve been put in the back. My opinion. Great vid as always Joe. 😊

Sorry Joe not feeling this one but good job covering it . I’d pick the mach e over this you can’t have Apple car play in this 😮

Nice looking car, but $20000 overpriced.

I must say that frunk is meh for daily use, if you have small groceries you probably stash them on the passenger seat anyway... But it would be super nice to have emergency tools there, something you need when you get flat tire or something. Storage should be there, small, rarely used, but still.

Yo

At the 3:45 mark if the video, the trim Joe is pointing out is already warped.

Looks good, not a vehicle I'd own, but it looks good.

I don't like the no frunk option.

That color is hot

At least in terms of design I'd say this is way better than the Mach-E.

Today is my birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

А Китайские автомобили будут ?

How in a rear wheel drive car is there no frunk?

I was excited for this when it was for $40k, at $60k I can't not ask why not get the Cadillac.

21:20 manual folding seat ... but an electric door for the charging port , weird .

Every other outlet is saying the rear-wheel-drive model hit's 60 in 6 seconds, not 7 and handles better in addition to having nearly 50 miles more range.

Very nice car but kind of disappointed on not having apple CarPlay/ Android auto for that price range I would’ve expected them to add that feature AT LEAST! Do you guys know why they didn’t add it?

That’s too much money for what you get.

Wow, Redline just posted their review, so I should’ve known this one was coming…

The Rear Wheel Drive has 340 Hp. The AWD Has the 288 Hp you stated

I like it a little better but not by much, they both seem freaking awesome but the Mustang Mach E still shouldn’t have that name.

Nice job by Chevy...great looking car. The big problem I see with EVs is their cost. $60K. Hopefully new battery tech will allow them drive down the cost significantly. I realize that as it is currently priced it's probably reasonably competitive (although I still think it's a bit on the high side) but for most consumers $60K is just too damn expensive...a car like this needs to be around $40K vs $60K. I'm jussayin.....Maybe I'll just wait a couple of years and pick up a used one.

Looks like a jelly bean

The lack of a fronk is a miss considering the huge front end. It’s so closely priced to the much better looking Cadillac LYRIQ, I would pick the Cadillac. I wish GM would make the cameras record the drive like Tesla.

Is the best ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Charging times at the station? That might be adeal breaker compared to other EVs that are performong excellent in that front.

If the Blazer had a frunk (front trunk) and it were too small people would likely be complaining about it being virtually useless. And that would be valid because it would be. I'm saying that if they couldn't give us a right-sized frunk it's better that they have nothing at all.

So another EV by GM. It’ll be interesting to see how this ages in a year or two with the new batteries. If it goes well, good for them, finally. They’ve not had a great track record with EVs, but few have. This looks interesting. A different take on the interior, not horrible.

They loss me at the no Apple CarPlay. Damn shame to make something this lovely and remove my favorite feature. Oh well, looks like I'm sticking with the ICE Blazer until they upgrade the tech in the EV.

Looks really good, but that $60k price, no thanks, it shouldn't be over $45k loaded,

I don't understand the need for a front wheel drive electric vehicle. Electric motors are so small you can place one on each wheel as some manufacturers have done. Chevy should ditch the FWD option and keep it simple with just the RWD and AWD options. Pressing the brake is the on button for the vehicle. Anyways, I love my new Blazer EV AWD 2LT. The RWD model actually has more power than the AWD - I know, kinda weird.

Damn interior. Hands look small showing the infotainment screen. But no Andriod auto or Apple? Wow

I'm more interested in the sister model, the Honda Prologue.

Rather long wheel base. And the rear end is rather husky. I like it

Really like the looks, color and low roof line. Looks sharp, but very pricy yikes

Yeah of course Joe and I'm will buy the EV.

it´s not bad.

4 to 5 issues of Nintendo Power😂😂😂😂😂😂😊

I like it

how does your phone work without android auto or apple carplay?

It is a nice vehicle, but unless it is high, upright and boxy, stop calling them SUV's.

*Mercedes lawyers reaching for the phone after seeing the vents..........*

The one thing I would be annoyed with EVs other than the recharging times is the whirring noise. I don't know how some people can deal with that especially when they get on the expressways. Also, no one has done it yet (at least not from what I've seen), but no one has made a normal transmission gears in an EV. A single-speed reduction or 2-speed reduction transmission isn't ideal in my opinion. If automakers are going to convince people to EVs, which is very few and far between, they need to be able to live up to the standards of their internal combustion engine counterparts, but ice will always and forever be tried and true technology that will never go away. In the end, I am glad to see a couple of automakers work on a physical manual transmission in EVs. I'm still not sold on EVs and won't be for a great while, but manual transmission EVs could potentially get my interest when I feel comfortable and ready to make the switch, but only with the right automotive brand. As for right now, I would take a gas+hybrid combo over a full EV; i.e., the upcoming Honda Prelude, which I watched from Kirk Kreifels saying that the new Prelude is likely be with a manual transmission. 👍🏽

Great looking car, the problem with all EV's are the battery packs and the pack breaking down over time. With a combustion engine, atleast you can piecemeal replacement parts. But with the packs it's an all-or-nothing sum game. Remember this people.

These prices on EVs are making impossible to buy them. By the way Tesla just dropped their prices on the model Y

This car is based of my channel name!

He says multiple times the Blazer EV is shorter than the ICE version, which is false. The Blazer EV is both longer overall lenthg and wheelbase. The Blazer EV is also wider than the ICE version.

Hoping for good independent review. Like listening to Chevy pr review their own vehicle. 55k for a base model, enough said.

Ford is Doing Everything Better than Chevy. 🤙🏽

💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

didnt GM say they cant sell EVs?

The one in the Barbie movie was cool.

Great looking EV, but GM will lose big bucks on it, like other EV's.

Electric vehicles. Only lease them.

Big Zonk on the lack of front storage

Huge zonk for no Apple Car Play.
