There are good reasons why many people remain skeptical about swapping their gas-powered vehicles for battery-electric models, and many automakers continue to struggle to address those concerns adequately. However, if you like the idea of traveling emissions-free between Woodbridge, Vaughan, Brampton, Kleinburg, Mississauga, and elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area, but you’re still on the fence about EVs, the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV could be the model to convince you.
The Blazer was already a sensational-looking vehicle that puts most rivals to shame. If anything, the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV is even more stylish and desirable than its gas-powered sibling. The Blazer EV takes the ever-popular crossover SUV outline and builds on it with a touch of muscle car, a bit of sports car, and a big helping of the futuristic to deliver exterior styling that would attract shoppers in droves regardless of what was under the hood.
Unlike some EVs, however, that can be a bit of a letdown when it comes to matters of performance, the all-new Blazer EV has performance that more than lives up to the promises made by its looks.
It can be easy to get distracted by the relative novelty of having a fully battery-electric powertrain instead of an internal combustion engine, but the Blazer EV is a vehicle that encourages you to forget all that and just enjoy the way it rides and drives. First of all, the driving range on a full charge of the Blazer EV’s battery is estimated at between 247 miles and 320 miles, so you can definitely park those range anxiety concerns.
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV is available in four versions: the 1LT, 2LT, RS, and range-topping SS. What’s truly unique in the world of crossover EVs is that the Blazer EV is the first to be offered in dual-motor AWD, single-motor front-wheel drive, and single-motor rear-wheel drive formats. And if performance is a significant factor in your buying decision, the Blazer EV in SS trim develops 564 horsepower and 684 lb.-ft. of torque, which will get you from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds.
The Blazer EV is bristling with Chevrolet’s latest charging, infotainment, and driver-assistance technologies, which operate together to deliver greater convenience, comfort, and confidence for those looking to make that significant transition to an all-electric vehicle.
The Blazer EV’s advanced technology is evident as soon as you climb in because there isn’t even a button to start it, and that’s due to a hands-free start feature where all the driver has to do is push the brake pedal after closing the door to drive away. The key fob authorizes the hands-free start system, so it’s also reassuringly secure.
Standard features across the lineup also include a 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster, heated front seats and steering wheel, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection front and rear, active lane control, and automatic high beams.
You only have to look at the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV to know this model will be in huge demand.
