Chevy Blazer EV

The recently unveiled Chevrolet Blazer EV has been rewarded with the coveted title of MotorTrend’s 2024 SUV of the Year, surpassing a field of 40 competitors to claim the prestigious “Golden Calipers.” MotorTrend attributes this achievement to the Blazer EV’s state-of-the-art technology, dynamic design, and groundbreaking powertrain options. This victory underscores Chevrolet’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge electric vehicles, a legacy initially recognized by MotorTrend’s 2017 Car of the Year, the Chevrolet Bolt EV.

Ed Loh, MotorTrend Group’s Head of Editorial, praised the Blazer EV, stating, “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.”

The “SUV of the Year” title, a distinction MotorTrend reserves for vehicles exemplifying outstanding product excellence over the past 25 years, is a testament to the Blazer EV’s performance. Evaluated across six key criteria, including safety, design innovation, and intended function performance, the Blazer EV emerged as the epitome of a comprehensive package, earning approval from MotorTrend’s discerning panel of judges.

Scott Bell, Vice President of Chevrolet, expressed excitement and honor at receiving this prestigious recognition for the Blazer EV. He remarked, “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 Blazer EV is available in multiple trims, including LT, RS, and Chevy’s first-ever electric SS. It features a 17.7-inch-diagonal customizable infotainment touchscreen, available front, rear, and all-wheel drive configurations. Notably, the Blazer EV recently received EPA certification for an impressive 324 miles on a full charge (RWD), further solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the electric SUV landscape.
