Don Armstrong: 0:10

time now for this hour's car review. I had a chance to drive the 2024 chevrolet blazer ev. Comes in two trim levels the 2lt and the r. There's more to come later, but right now that's it Reviewed trim level is the RS all-wheel drive. This is considered by the government a small SUV. I say it's a midsize. It's a two-row, five-seat SUV.

Don Armstrong: 0:40

Exterior changes the Blazer has nothing in common. This Blazer has nothing in common. This blazer has nothing in common with the gasoline engine blazer. Okay, this is completely different. And here they go again using the name that they've already got, kind of like ford did with the mustang. Yeah, the machi, yeah, please come on. Uh, by the way, it what we didn't know? I didn't know until I started doing the research on this that this Blazer is on the same platform as the Cadillac Lyric. What, oh? I didn't know that that's a Cadillac Lyric. It's not that big. Well, platform-wise yeah, platform is the same as the Cadillac Lyric. Wow, that's a shock. And it's also the platform for the Chevy Equinox EV. So they're using the same names but they're different vehicles. Well, the frame must have to be a certain build to do that. Well, yeah, that's that skateboard thing. I understand now.

Don Armstrong: 1:40

Exterior features sleek-looking front fender-to-fender lightning-fast thing it looks good. Sloping rear roofline with tiny rear hatch glass. Tri-tail lights. Faux brake ducts on the front fenders, which is a different kind of take when it comes to brake ducting, faux anything. What I liked about it the unique modern sheet metal. This thing looks good, in my opinion. Interior highlights contrasting two-tone colors make the interior pop on this Big infotainment screen that's easy to use. General Motors in general has really stepped up to the plate when it comes to their infotainment system. Comfortable seating with unique materials on it has really stepped up to the plate when it comes to their infotainment system. Comfortable seating with unique materials on it. Big center console for storage. Cargo trunk room is adequate, nothing out of the ordinary, but it matches up with other vehicles in its class.

Don Armstrong: 2:37

What I liked about it top-notch stuff. And it is a Chevy. It does not look like a Chevy when you get inside of it. It's first class all the way. I'm telling you what could use improvement nothing. It's beautiful, I think.

Don Armstrong: 2:53

Um, engine this is a two motor electric, so it's got motors in the front and the rear in this one. Now, miles per gallon. It's kind of weird the way that they formulate this, but city 103, and the highway is comparable to 88 miles per gallon for a combined of 96. It gets 300 miles on a single charge. What I liked about it the mileage and plugging it into the 110-volt house AC worked for my 60-mile round trip back and forth. So I plug it in at work. Charge is there, plug it at home. It works here. Now, if I were going to drive 300 miles on it that wouldn't work. So there's that.

Don Armstrong: 3:36

As far as other things, 30 minutes with the owner's manual to find a button to turn off the headlight flash that sat in the driveway and flashed all night long indicating the car is charging. So you have to drill down into the menu to turn that feature off. Why would you have that feature anyway? It's strictly a PR thing, I think, but the whole night long I thought it's going to storm. I look out and see through the blinds. You know the flashing lights in the driveway. Yeah, you thought it was. I think it's going to be a storm. No, it's the car, because I've got it plugged in. Who dreamt that up? Put a little dot on the dash. It gets A-plus for the ride. Quality Okay, comfortable ride, handles well, a-plus all the way on this car Base trim price $56,200.

Don Armstrong: 4:23

Prices tested $60,710. Base model price $48,800. Competitors Mustang Mach-E $39,995 is where it starts. Tesla Model Y starts at $42,990, and the Kia EV6 starts at $42,600. That's my review of the 2024 Blazer EV RS all-wheel drive. Go check it out. I think that you'll be impressed as well. If you're looking for an electric, you wouldn't compare that to the Cadillac version. Well, I haven't driven the Cadillac version, and yes, but it's the same vehicle. Yeah, okay. What was the range on this one? Did it say 300 miles? Okay, 300 miles. Yeah, all right. If you'd like to get in touch with us, shoot us an email. The address is info at inwheeltimecom. We'll be back.
