FIRST LOOK: The Blazer SS is back in a big way from Chevy. On the outside you will discover all new sheet metal, wheels, and LED lighting. On the inside there are new materials, a full digital gauge cluster and massive 17in infotainment screen. Powering the Blazer SS are (2) electric motors that produce over 600HP & provide AWD!

The materials here are definitely better than on the gas-powered Blazers. My big complaint about Chevrolets over the years is how, even on the top trims, they looked rental-car cheap inside and weren't worth anywhere near their price (the top Blazer trim cost upwards of $50K). Good to see that appears to have changed. I look forward to seeing the model in dealerships.

I wish this was raised up more like the ICE blazer. These new EV “suvs” are all just station wagons with maybe like a 1” lift. Basically no benefits over a normal hatchback like more commanding driving position, easier entry/exit height, or improved ground clearance for snow.

If you want easier entry/exit, then a higher "commanding driving position" isn't needed, and in fact, makes it worse. That's why old people like the Kia Soul - easy entry without the stupid unnecessary height. And well, these are EVs, and as such, they want to favor efficiency over ride height.

Please attempt to get GM to be honest and transparent about where the bulk of design, engineering, and development is being done on all of these “new” small electric vehicles you are reviewing. All of these new GM vehicles look like the chinese developed and sold vehicles here in Asia and stylized for the USA market with recognized GM badges on them. In Thailand they sold 100% Chinese vehicles as Chevrolet even advertising their 100plus years of heritage. GM clearly still tries not to discuss the Chinese Cars sold as Buick in the USA.

@AnotherUser I've owned many ice cars and highly efficent one's at that. None got 500 miles a tank, and pulling off the road into a gas station and tanking up is always longer than just a few mins. Especially if you travel with a female partner. 🤔 The fossil fuel industry is still the number #2 consumer of cobalt dimwit, they were number #1 until late 2019. The battery industry isn't even dominated by evs yet either. Of all battery elements consumed only 39% went towards evs in 2021. So billions of consumer use batteries and medical devices also use cobalt lithium and are not recycled. Care to comment on this simple easily researched FACT? Did you even know that? Cobalt is also used as a stabilizer in every one of the hundreds of MILLIONS of lead acid batteries used in almost every single form of ice vehicle. Those same ice vehicle's also consume water electricity and cobalt to refine their fuels. And lithium&cobalt are consumed by the mettalurgy industry to. Refineries alone in 2021 here in the U.S. consumed over 47twhs of electricity. How about dem apples? The average car no matter what propels it requires mining, uses cobalt in its battery&fuel, requires massive amounts of water&electricity just to manufacturer it. Uses mining no matter what you or any other gashole type of ignorant fool says. And the average new vehicle also has 20+electric motors to run everything. Plus cats spark plugs and some 02 sensors use platinum metals group's. Which are considered to be rare earths. Hence why cats are hacked off and sold off. I'll believe the actual real world experience I have running a repair shop. And talking with my local emc manager, and the guys who install all of Georgia powers ev station's and many others with ev experience. Evs are cleaner more efficient , require less maintenance and can run of many types of power generation. I love driving on sunshine. Oh and enjoying an 8yr 100,000 mile federal ev battery warranty thanks. 😎

I'll say it, Blazer is just a name Chevy has used for their entry into trending markets. The OG '69 was just brought to market to compete with the Scout and Bronco. It never went away, it was just renamed Tahoe in 95 and it has dominated it's class in sales since it was changed to a 4 door. The we'll known "K5" never went away, although the two door was dropped due to lack of sales. The S10 Blazer was brought to market to compete with the Bronco I I. Once more starting only as a two door before being available as a four door. The redesigned midsize in 95 was built to compete with the Explorer. (We noticing a trend yet) The name was brought back for the cross over market in 2019. Yeah, they already had crossovers but the Blazer was advertised as a more sporty and exciting model by being offered with the same 3.6 as the camaro. (I know, v6 but 308hp and 269 ft/lbs of torque in a cross over isn't half bad) And now we have the SS EV to compete with the Mach E. So don't think this thing has it's heritage routed in the product itself. The true heritage of the Blazer name is the marketing itself.
