After a number of teasers, we see the Blazer in its full glory. The picture reveals an SS mannequin, which GM confirmed in March. A brand new car unrelated to the present gasoline-powered Blazer, the Blazer EV will get styling cues from that car, which, in flip, was impressed by the Chevy Camaro. It has the same grille and the physique sports activities the same Coke-bottle form. Nonetheless, the roof is extra squared-off within the rear. A gill-like design behind the entrance wheel will function the charging port, and, based mostly on a earlier video teaser, it should come out as an alternative of hinging open—a bit just like the cost door for the Cadillac Lyriq.
The Blazer is a part of 20 new electrical autos GM plans to launch for the North American market by the top of 2023.
Anticipate the Blazer to make use of GM’s Ultium battery and powertrain structure that may serve every part from the Cadillac Lyriq to the GMC Hummer EV to the Chevrolet Silverado EV. It is unknown if the gasoline Blazer will proceed when the EV arrives, however it’s probably GM will select to promote each for just a few mannequin years.
No specs for energy and vary can be found but, however we anticipate at the very least 300 miles of vary in at the very least one model. The Blazer SS would probably have extra energy and fewer vary. The present Blazer has no SS mannequin, which Chevrolet reserves for larger efficiency variations of its autos, although it does supply an RS model with an SS-like look however with out the extra efficiency. An Equinox EV can be coming, most likely with out as flashy a design.
We’ll study the 2024 Blazer EV’s stats on July 18. Keep tuned.
