Looks like #Chevrolet is ready to take on Ford and Tesla with the all-new #BlazerEV. Unlike the gas powered version, the #ChevyBlazerEV is built on the Ultimum platform, and this #BlazerEVSS is the most powerful and quickest model. It goes on sale in summer 2023 and pricing begins at just under $45k.
The midsize electric suv segment is about to get even more competitive with chevrolet’s new entry this is the all new 2024 blazer evss the brand’s first ever ss performance vehicle that happens to be electric i’m at the 2022 detroit international auto show let’s take a first look now when the gas powered chevrolet blazer came out a couple years ago a lot of
Enthusiasts were disappointed that was it was kind of a camaro styled family-based suv for 2024 chevy continues to kind of go that route but now as opposed to the gas model which again is kind of more of a conventional suv this blazer ev is an entirely different animal together this is chevrolet’s answer to the ford mustang machi which has been a huge hit for the
Company since it came out a couple years ago and of course this is going to compete with cars like the tesla model y and the model y performance this ss version as you can see is the first ever electrified ss high performance chevy so there’s a lot of impressive stats here now let’s first talk about the styling of the new blazer you can see it has a lot of the new
Corporate styling details here that chevrolet is just introducing you can see there’s that trademark full led light bar i also love how the bow tie in the center also lights up it’s also black as opposed to the usual yellow there’s an ss badge there to the side of the grille and then you have the usual full led headlights with led low and high beams no fog lights
On the vehicle and as you can see there’s technically not a grille these grille inserts aren’t actually opened up there are a few openings down here at the lower front splitter but overall let me know what you think of the styling below i think the blazer ev is a huge hit in terms of the design i think a lot of people are going to seriously consider this vehicle
Against the likes of the tesla model y and the ford mustang mock e now i wish i could open up the hood but i sadly i can’t i’ve been told that there is no frunk on this vehicle but chevrolet will offer it in two different battery sizes they weren’t ready to disclose the battery capacity this rides on the same gm ultim platform as the gmc hummer ev the silverado ev
The upcoming equinox ev in terms of the power they’re going to offer this vehicle in several different tunes there’s about five different trims available but you can take your pick between either single motor uh which is front wheel drive uh and then this model here being the ss has dual motor all-wheel drive giving us a total of 557 horsepower and 683 pound-feet
Torque that’s some serious performance chevy actually claims this model will do 0 to 60 in under four seconds so that’s around mach e gt performance territory same territory as the tesla model y uh performance as well i’m really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of this vehicle when it goes on sale uh later next year let’s go ahead and start with the
Wheel options you can see on this ss model chevrolet is offering a 22 inch wheel you can see it’s an inch larger or two inches larger which is what you’re going to find on like a ford mustang mock e and you can see the tires themselves are massive these are 275 40 zr22 i think the wheels are a really attractive option on the blazer ev it really gives it some serious
Performance and then again it’s an suv so the company added some painted cladding along the side of the vehicle i don’t have any ground clearance figures but this is again not really an suv that’s designed for off-roading this is more of a performance hatch which just happens to be an suv now the charge port door is over here chevrolet will offer a power charge
Port door and this vehicle will accept a maximum of 190 kilowatts if you guys can find a dc fast charger that’s capable of delivering that which that basically means is you should be able to go from 10 to 80 percent in just around 30 minutes which is a little bit faster than something like the ford mustang mock e but not as quick as some of the quickest evs which
Will accept up to 350 kilowatts this vehicle also has an onboard 19.2 kilowatt uh level two charger which means you should be able to charge this vehicle on your level two uh in around eight hours from empty to to full which is what most people are gonna be doing you don’t technically fast charge on a daily basis you should be just charging at home now in terms
Of the rest of the profile i don’t have any dimensions for the vehicle just yet but as you can see here it’s probably going to be around 190 ish inches long in overall length it should be a little bit larger versus the ford mustang monkey you can really see how long the vehicle is its wheelbase has been pushed out into the corners you have this really cool kind
Of contrasting black roof with the red i’m surprised actually this car has conventional door handles i just saw the new equinox ev and that actually had pop-out style door handles but again some of you may prefer something like this a more conventional look there is also a panoramic sunroof that also opens up on this particular model here and it really looks uh
Expensive and premium when you have it with the red and the two-tone look that this uh model here is painted in now around the view of the vehicle i also think the styling was really well done i love the way the rear tail lights look they kind of mimic the shape of the front you have full led tail lights with this kind of interesting element here that kind of dips
Down these are led turn signals you can see there’s a new blazer badge here where the e has their new kind of electrified symbol over here i also like the black chevy bow tie at the rear along with the ss badge remember first ever electric ss badge chevrolet vehicle down here you can see the rear diffuser is a little bit more aggressive and i wish i could show you
Guys the trunk but they did mention you should have just under 60 cubic feet of space when you have the seats folded remember this is a mid-size suv so a third row seat won’t be available now we are at the detroit auto show so sadly this is a very early prototype chevrolet asked me not to touch the inside nor can i sit in the vehicle but i can at least show you
What it looks like i hope you guys like red because the red on the exterior is carried over onto the interior of this particular ss model and it really has a premium look to the cabin i think chevrolet is doing a phenomenal job with making the interior look much more modern especially when you look at the technology because in the center over there there’s a 17.7
Inch touchscreen lcd that runs on their new android based operating system it has google voice built in it’s got wireless carplay and android auto and it also has over-the-air updates that 17.7 inch screen is very well integrated with the 11-inch display in the center stack you can see that display is going to be standard across the board it’s one of the largest
Displays in the industry and i also like the steering wheel on this model you can see it’s got that flat bottom design it’s got the gm supercruise with the status light bar and then the seats themselves you can see they offer like a 10-way power adjustment with a two-person memory and overall with the red accents the shiny gloss black the carbon fiber looking
Trim it’s a really nice place to spend time and hopefully i’ll be able to actually drive one very soon above me you can see there is that panoramic sunroof that also opens up and lets in a lot of light and then there’s a lot of led lighting throughout the cabin now i can’t show you guys what’s in the back seat but i mentioned earlier this is a two-row model so you
Should expect to find legroom that should be on par with something like the tesla model y and the ford mustang mock e so if you guys are interested in getting your hands on the all-new blazer ev this will be going on sale in the summer of 2023 and chevy has also already announced pricing the base 1lt will start at around 44 995 this ss model obviously is going
To be considered more expensive it’ll start at around 65 995 which is still again undercutting vehicles like the tesla monolith and the ford mustang machi gt performance and the other great news about this vehicle is it’ll be a final assembly point will be in mexico which means it’ll qualify for the full 7 500 federal tax credit which will help to lower the base
Price and the msrp of this vehicle for those of you who are lucky enough to qualify for all that with all that said i hope you guys have enjoyed my first look overview for redline reviews here at the 2022 detroit international auto show i’m sophian bay you
