After a number of teasers, we see the Blazer in its full glory. The photograph exhibits an SS mannequin, which GM confirmed in March. A brand new automobile unrelated to the present gasoline-powered Blazer, the Blazer EV will get styling cues from that automobile, which, in flip, was impressed by the Chevy Camaro. It has an analogous grille and the physique sports activities an analogous Coke-bottle form. Nevertheless, the roof is extra squared-off within the rear. A gill-like design behind the entrance wheel will function the charging port, and, primarily based on a earlier video teaser, it’ll 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 automobiles GM plans to launch for the North American market by the top of 2023.
Count on the Blazer to make use of GM’s Ultium battery and powertrain structure that can serve all the things from the Cadillac Lyriq to the GMC Hummer EV to the Chevrolet Silverado EV. It is unknown if the fuel Blazer will proceed when the EV arrives, nevertheless it’s doubtless GM will select to promote each for just a few mannequin years.
No specs for energy and vary can be found but, however we count on at the least 300 miles of vary in at the least one model. The Blazer SS would doubtless have extra energy and fewer vary. The present Blazer has no SS mannequin, which Chevrolet reserves for larger efficiency variations of its automobiles, although it does provide an RS model with an SS-like look however with out the extra efficiency. An Equinox EV can be coming, in all probability with out as flashy a design.
We’ll study the 2024 Blazer EV’s stats on July 18. Keep tuned.
