I wish people would get over the fact that the Blazer is no longer an off-road. They may, eventually, produce an off road version. However, until they do, folks need to stop crying about it. It's been 5 years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@IanB1015

Seems like from my prospective GM is forgetting what they started with the Bolt EV making things low cost and keeping the vehicle cost down. 60+ k for this seems a bit much right now when considering other comparable options. Hard to justify the switch to EV when they companies make them so dang expensive

@People-Business-And-Ideas

I agree with GM naming it Blazer. They're paving a new road for their on road SUV portfolio. They already have an off road Hummer EV. With any success they can easily expand that Hummer product line too. Maybe even make it a sub-brand. Like what they'll do with Corvette in 2025. Chevrolet needs an established sporting SUV. Blazer is it!

Good overview! I drove one yesterday, a beautiful car but No CarPlay is an unnecessary omission… Why? I checked and GOOGLE play has Alexa and Amazon music so maybe that’s a work around but I don’t know yet. The car, again is smooth as silk with very aggressive design. We love our Bolt EUV which really is perfect for us. I’m glad you pointed out the one pedal driving because I’m used to that on the Bolt, it works great, I rarely ever use my brakes and it does increase mileage range. I’m looking forward to replacing our HONDA CRV hybrid and hoping to see the Honda Prologue version using the Ultium battery. Great first look! Thanks!

@jean-francoistanguay5658

Thank you for this complete review. I would like to test drive one too.

@greenne

I would check the specs...I think the RS is 288hp with the 85 Kwh battery.

I get mine Saturday at

@chipmitchell23

Dude the buttons are awesome --- I love that it gives options --- I desire both --- Not everyone wants just a touch screen

@mitchellbarnow1709

I enjoy driving without moving my foot off of the accelerator. It takes a few days to get used to it, but it really helps to reduce my shin splint pain.

@beckyconley8565

Great review

@beckyconley8565

Love the red paint job

@charlesadams6154

So you think calling it a Nomad would be less offensive than Blazer?! I don’t think so, Tim.

@danno180

It helps to drive the Blazer EV over a 24 hour cycle to get night and day running experience before telling GM no buttons are needed. Definitely needs manual control over the intellibeam. Needs a more convenient quick single wipe for the front windshield wiper like most lever controls offer.

@RobbyDeGraff

Good stuff, way to be one of the first!

@JamesWindland

It looks really nice, however there are some big problems with it that are going to keep these sitting on lots unsold. This trim needs to be right at $50k, and I would advise anyone interested to wait till they get a NACS port and another solution to that badly designed charge door. I (and most others) have a serious issue with removing Android Auto and Apple Carplay as well, it in fact is a deal breaker for me. Im actually seeing these on lots near me at MSRP already, so not really in big demand already.

@richardmahoney9415

I’m a die hard petrol lover or ICE engine lover don’t even know what u call it but this type of electric car makes me hopeful if this is the future I just want a regular car make it the same as what we drive now just with a different power source if this got be the future just give me a normal car not a space ship

@Zay408er

I don’t understand why they did not utilize the space under the hood. No Frunk smh

@AdamJakowenko

Great review, this is the first one I've seen. I currently have a Mach-E and was considering this for my next vehicle but between some of the design choices and lack of CarPlay I took it off my list. Plus, GM appears to really be struggling with Ultimate platform vehicle production so I'd be surprised if they can make more than a thousand of these a month in 2024. And as a result of the low supply we're gonna see greedy dealers try to mark these up, and I would never pay over sticker for this thing. So basically it's a non-starter. Maybe year 2 or 3 I'll come back around to see where they're at with this.
