Chevrolet Blazer Specs, Design, and Safety Features

Chevy Blazer Interior and Exterior

Like most new EVs by Chevrolet, the Blazer was designed from the ground up using GM’s Ultium platform. The crossover is about nine inches longer than its gas-powered counterpart, giving a little extra room to rear passengers.

The exterior features a simple yet futuristic design, which is complemented by its tech-heavy interior, which contains a large infotainment display, a fully digital gauge cluster, and a variety of two-tone color schemes available.

Chevrolet Blazer Performance

Chevy has yet to disclose specific performance details for all trim levels of the new Blazer EV, so some results may vary. However, on paper, the SS model promises to deliver impressive performance, boasting a remarkable 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque. It also features a “Wide Open Watts” mode that will hit 0 to 60 mph in just under four seconds. Pair that with high-performance Brembo brakes and a specially tuned sport chassis, and the Blazer SS is engineered for powerful performance.

The base model 2LT features standard front-wheel drive along with the option for eAWD with a dual motor setup. The RS is even more flexible, offering a single motor setup with power either to the front or rear axle or an all-wheel drive option with a dual-motor setup. The top-of-the-line SS trim comes standard with all-wheel drive. One-pedal driving and regenerative braking are also standard for all trims.

Chevrolet Blazer Safety Features

Every Chevrolet Blazer EV model comes standard with numerous safety features, including:

• 360-degree view camera system
• Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping driver-assistance
• Available adaptive cruise control with hands-free driving mode
• Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Reverse Automatic Braking that automatically provides alerts and/or emergency braking to help avoid collisions with detected objects and vehicles directly behind you when reversing

Chevrolet Blazer Battery Options

GM’s new Ultium Platform, on which the Chevrolet Blazer is built, provides enough power and versatility for any situation, whether you are going across town or across the country. Every Blazer EV model supports 190 kW DC fast charging, giving you up to 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes. For AC charging, it operates at 11.3 kW.

It's also important to note that Chevy's BEV3 electrical architecture is software-based, which means future updates via GM's ULTIFI could potentially improve charging rates.
