Good design, nice interior, those are all pros. No CarPlay is a bummer, and the price is really steep. It's not going to sell that well until they lower the price, IMO.

I'm excited to see how these new crop of GM EVs hold up. Interior and exterior wise they look good.

Sofyan gives a lot of very useful information without saying too much or babbling on and on like many other reviewers, believe me, I have watched many of them. Excellent review Sofyan, you've really done your homework.

That price is just ridiculous. $60k for a decent trim in the RS, compared to around $50k for the Model Y AWD. I'll state this thing looks much better, but I'm not about to pay $10k more for a slower car with less range.

Saw one on the road yesterday. Really good looking vehicle. Price is pretty steep, tho.

With EV’s dropping their prices to around 40k it’s going to be interesting to see what Chevy does with pricing. I think they should’ve started at 45k. It’s alot cheaper options out now.

I have the Cadillac version of this and can say it's an incredible vehicle. I've driven a lot of cars, but nothing compares to this.

It would be great to see you add 50-70 "passing" times for the EVs you test. While stoplight launches are fun, I feel most drivers will appreciate the oomph of an EV while already underway.

$63,000 is fairly reasonable? Pricing of EVs is really holding sales back for would be customers interested in trying out EVs for sure.

Crazy that a vehicle that tall has visibility that limited. I still don't understand why bodysides have gotten so tall and greenhouses so short. You can load the vehicle up with safety and still give me windows to see through.

LoL some reviewer got stuck in West Virginia - whole car crapped out. Stop sell at the moment…

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. Last, the EV Blazer is a ground up design. Why doesn't it have a frunk? That could be a deal breaker for a lot of people. Anyway, to each their own. For me it's a no brainer, the LYRIQ, all day long. Cheers!!!

Dig the wizard walking around at 16:42 😂

Great review😀

My Bolt EUV is just as fast as this and was $21k after the tax credit

Has there ever been a car that you have said didn't have a good or solid sounding thunk? Just curious cause if every car you say it's good... Then it's really not a necessary review point anymore.

Wow 600 horsey in the SuperSport version? Oh my God! That's insane! Yeah, it does look pretty good in blue. The interior of the EV RS looks so much better than the gasoline Blazer RS. I mean its night and day. I notice too, the A/C vents are not painted red. That's a good thing. Damn nice seats too! 5,000 pounds is pretty darn heavy, but batteries weigh a bunch. I wonder if there is a traction control thing going on with that acceleration test being so slow. Oh well, you can't race a Tesla with that Blazer. You will need to do that with the SS version. LOL

Radiant Red Tintcoat is my favourite car colour right now.

Great review 👍🏼

995k so close! 🍾

Dont say ok Google..... LOL, I had to cancel all mine.... anyway that system looks very fast. Just wish the AWD had more power and range, whether needed or not... It is a sleek looking car for sure!

No apple carplay/android auto support is going to be a dealbreaker. Especially if GM can't keep up with the infotainment software

Gorgeous color outside!!😮😮😮😮

Electric chargeport doors are a waste. One more thing to break. My Model 3 one broke on a roadtrip and I had to break the off the door to finish my trip. My Volt was the manual push to release and worked just fine.

Why does gm hate rear window visibility? That rear window is tiny based on that mini rear wiper. I drive a 10th gen impala, and even with a big rear window, the design allows very poor rear visibility. Edit: yes this has the rear view camera, but I've driven vehicles with it and for just a quick glance, it made me feel kinda dizzy. Still prefer a normal mirror for just quick-checking

No CarPlay no go. GM really screwed up with that.

I have the blazer rs, I wish my interior was like this one

Yay! Another EV no one can afford.

Nice interior design 😮😮😮!!

Looks nice but I miss some of the physical button still and the price makes it a harder sell for me.

What’s the point of that large screen if your camera only takes up a quarter of it. I understand aspect ratio but I’m sure they could have done better than that.

Nice but too expensive IMO. SS is probably going to run $70K+...meh

Yay, another EV that may be delivered in years. I've been on the Lyriq preorder list for almost 2 years.

Yikes is all I have to say, especially at the end I hear compromise after compromise compared to the ICE Blazer. As someone who owns the 23' Blazer I still find myself scratching my head why I would want this thing especially at the price. I take road trips and the last thing I want to do is drive an hour outta my way to spend 30 mins to an hour to "charge up". Maybe there are tons of EV enthusiasts who will buy this vehicle but till charging time and the ease of charging rivals filling up a tank in 5-10 mins or less I will never own an EV or consider it to be "better" than ICE vehicles. Especially at that price since the batteries will have to be replaced and no one wants to know how expensive that will be when the day comes! Also I've heard towing in EV trucks takes the range down tremendously compared to ICE trucks so I can't imagine towing with this thing will be something anyone wants to do unless it's every once in a while at best.

A 245 mile trip needed 37 minutes of charging?? What charge level was it at when you calculated that route?

I drove a blue AWD RS today and it was great. I like how it has actual knobs and buttons, in addition to screens. I'm 50, go figure.

Everything else looks great, but the removal of CarPlay is a complete and total dealbreaker for me. Was looking at the Silverado EV, I'll just get the F150 Lightning instead when they switch to NACS. Also, I hate that it wasn't called out that GM Is firmly *not* giving anything back. They're taking a better, free, interface away and replacing it with an inferior version that's paid.

That red interior is absolutely gorgeous!! With gas prices only going to increase even further, EVs are the future 🎉🎉🎉

But does it do messages via voice both ways? and Apple Music/podcasts? I use both of those every single day so heavily that I’m sadly tethered to Apple until I die

I like this interior!!

This looks more upscale to me than the Acura ZDX, especially the interior and I imagine this Blazer RS will be much cheaper than a Type S. Chevrolet knocked the Blazer EV out of the park! I’m not sure many folks understand how the infotainment system works, so many aren’t even willing to give it a try. If you’re paying attention then you’d know this vehicle doesn’t need apple CarPlay. The massive 17-inch touchscreen is beautiful and the software behind it is next level. It looks premium and certainly on the level to compete with the Tesla Model Y, which also does not offer apple CarPlay.

Do you get GPS without signing up for a monthly plan? Is the GPS different once you connect your phone? Do they have one pedal driving like the Bolt EUV,.. where you can pull stalk to get extra hard slowdown without using brakes?

I'd really like this with the 6cyl Duramax

Im gonna have to zonk that HP and TORQUE 😄. 5k lbs vehicle with not enough HP/TQ has to fell like your pulling 🛺🐘🦛. Good looking suv tho, maybe we will see an Impala SS SUV 🤷🏽‍♂️. Great review 👍

Can’t you edit out “Hey Google”? Your video activated mine.😅

Great looking ride and awesome review.I would do the RST/RWD but would need winter tires for my Northern Ohio location!

My SIL brought home a 2024 Blazer EV RS on a test drive today. The dash showed "Service High Voltage System", "Acceleration Limited", and "Turtle Mode". Wouldn't charge on her home EVSE, although it knew it was plugged-in. $49k after discounts, MSRP $60k. Not much in the way of options and no sunroof. Must do better on price, and the salesdude is ignorant about EVs.

All that wheelbase and length but no frunk, limited cargo space and adequate rear seating space. Where did the space go?

Does this car have security cameras? I seen a camera button

I just purchased the 2023 Chevy bolt euv for about 18k w/19541 miles. I love the car, I charge at home and love only spending 6-8 dollars per charge. I charge twice a week. I love my Chevy. I plan on trading in 2 years for another Chevy EV

One of the only EVS with the panoramic sunroof, somebody’s listening!!!

I like this EV is RWD, it's good enough for me, it also has the room I need. However I don't like the fact that you have to go to the screen to turn on and off the lights. Please a physical knob or lever is the right way to do that. Range is also good enogh . Nice car and video. Greetings from El Salvador

Wow, to me the front of the LT looks better than the more expensive models. I'm not a fan of black panels that look like a radiator grille on an EV. Love the air vents and HVAC buttons. An opening sun roof on an EV is very rare, love that. Too bad you can't get it on the dual motor.

If this doesn’t have AA or CarPlay via your phone, do you need to set up a separate data plan for the car itself for navigation and Spotify?

I think you start including the warranty on these EV vehicles, and the break down of the Warranty, example the battery etc..

Is this the one with the stop sale order on it?

What's the difference between the Blazer EV and the Equinox EV?

It would be great to see some equinox ev reviews

Thank goodness they fixed the charge door. The one in Lyriq was so cheap looking I was wondering if it was designed by an intern.

Really wish you had shown the black/grey interior.

Amazing job Sofyan.

Only 5k away from hitting 1 million subscribers🎉

If it starts once you step on the brake, stupid question how does it turn off

Ripped on Hyundai forever for not having wireless CarPlay and now that it’s totally removed he’s like….hmmm it might bother me I dont know. Please…..

Of the 5 vehicles on this platform, I'd probably take the ZDX.

50 plus for a mid trim vehicle with so so performance is a tall order. They have a ways to go for sure.

I love GM designe. It's tasteful intergration of futuristic designe without looking weird AF.

chevy gave me this as a loaner vehicle while my volt gets warranty repair. and i love this car! it is absolutely beautiful. i wish the AWD version came with sunroof i dont understand why it dont. the reasons why im going to wait a little while before buying one is: super cruise not yet available? the SS isnt going to cost much more sunroof not available in awd model and most of all: interest rates are too damn high!!! plus i still love my volt. so ill wait for interest rates to go down and for them to sort out the issues but the blazer is def top of my list for new car to get.

What? Explorer ST is 10k lower!

I remember when 5.9 seconds zero to 60 was considered fast. But in the EV world it's not really. To be fair the base Tesla Model Y is rated at 6.6 seconds.

American automakers are still making cars😮

Their native OS intrigues me, how do they run both android and apple applications? What OS is underneath their native one? Surly they did not write one from scratch.

As for the average acceleration, I’m sure they’ll offer something like the brand-new Cadillac LYRIQ “Velocity Upgrade”. Buy more power right on the screen. Another revenue source. Mary Barra implied Equinox/Silverado EVs were delayed due to software work that will make them more profitable. Gotta be working on more in-car purchases. More Power, more features, etc…

Cover that charge port door with ice and snow. Somebodies going to be late for work!

Insane Chevrolet Blazer EV I can buy Sofyan.

Why don't they provide spares anymore. All that storage space under the floor of the trunk and not even a donut spare?!?!!

It looks too long..

Currently have the Blazer SS on pre-order but I'll probably be looking elsewhere. Very disappointed with the pricing as when the pre-orders began, SS pricing was supposed to start around $60K. All in an SS is probably gonna be around $72-74K and that's being generous if they only charge like $5K for Super Cruise. Also I'm happy they've improved on there infotainment systems, but a true show of having a better product is also offering what was available to be compared. It's all BS marketing for locking you into paying them for what you could get for free before when the trial runs out. After a couple years, I'll have to pay you to put navigation on the display or be forced to have a 17 inch blank space and go back to using my phone on my windshield...

Was the car pulled from the market right after your review? I think Car and Driver called it "The worst car they ever tested". Odd how that sentiment doesn't come through in your video. Also, the screen is laggy as hell

Is was nice that it didn’t breakdown on you while filming this review. From what I’ve read early adopters are going through software glitch hell. It’s so bad Chevy has halted sales! If they haven’t figured out the software upon mass release, what else have they rushed?!? Perhaps I’m experiencing schadenfreude for them dumping Apple CarPlay because they think it’s “unsafe”. I guess GM feels that their software is ultimately safer because it bricks their vehicle so you can’t drive it to even get in an accident. Chevy: Built “Like a Rock” … or should I say “Like a Brick!”

why in the world would you want a hard button for one pedal driving? It's a setting most people probably will set once and won't change again.

I love EV’s but the pricing is RIDICULOUS at least as of right now. 63 grand for a Blazer is unbelievable. Why I bought a new Subaru for $25k, actually affordable and it was the last crosstrek with a manual so it makes it kinda fun, is slow up in the mountains though

When he says 245 miles is too far to go without charging... That's what kills it for me. These cars need far more range.

I get Acura vibes on the interior....looks like some Acura MDX/TLX influences

The question becomes: Why get this over a Tesla Model Y? Musk has gotten prices down to $44k-52k, while the Blazer STARTS at $56k. Tesla offers the same range, more cargo space, more speed and power, and a national supercharging network. Cheaper, faster, roomier and more convenient to use. That's a winning formula.

I use Apple Music so I guess I'm SOL.

25:00 It would have been nice to have a 5mph to 60 run. Not everyone floors cars from dead stop.

Coming to a Chevrolet Dealer near you starting at 110k!!

I just bought one last week. Best value car period. Look for new discounts and $7500 rebate/tax credit. Amazing vehicle.

This has the Google OS just like the Honda Accord Touring which is way better than Android Auto. This car is nice and is actually better looking than the ZDX imo and I'm an Acura/Honda fanboy. I would get the SS trim though.

The OS is Chevy - and they plan to charge a monthly fee to use it sooner rather than later. No Apple Car Play or Android Auto like in the Ford models. GM says they are unsafe, but won't remove it from the gas models which means they don't really believe that - they just want the new revenue screen for you to use your electric vehicle. Their OS will tell you where charging stations are for example so if you don't pay for it, you won't know where to charge your car if you drive outside your region. Good luck with that Chevy. Tesla does not charge for their OS, only GM seems to plan for this.

Do you still have Apple Maps?

Must be a blazer RS day.

Where did you get a RS with a sunroof. I canceled my RS order they told me none will come with sunroof

I wish they still had Apple CarPlay - the convenience of just tapping the address from your phone compared to speaking/typing address

i want the SS trim (Schutz Staffel)!!!😂😂😂

It looks to be the same color is of the 1977, 78 Trans Am. I don’t know if it’s the exact color, but it sure looks like It And it had the screaming chicken on the hood.

So any money you would save over the course of a 3 year lease u have to pay upfront in the price

Hopefully they fixed the charging curve for DCFC over its cousin the Cadillac Lyriq. Car is not cutting edge in either software or user experience and then lack of up front storage. What gives Chevy. . Then the native system will mean a subscription service once one decides to not renew much of the system will become useless and without the option for CarPlay to fall back on . And then there is elephant in the room, Price is a deal breaker. GM gave lots of promises for EV future, and like there prior promises given but promises not delivered.
