As the rainy season ends and the best months of spring are directly ahead of us here West Chevy of Knoxville, it’s a great time to enjoy the various current models we have on the lot that are available for a test drive! Everything that is currently on deck is stacked out just the way we imagined it, and ready for all our loyal customers to lease and own. The InsideEVs blog is one of the best mediums for us to obtain information about incoming models, and Chevy recently gave them a sneak peek as far as to what the upcoming 2024 Blazer EV has to offer.
The charging port door was in plain sight, as well as the fender and front door area directly around it. Based on the appearances of that teaser, we were fairly certain that the vehicle decked out in camo was spotted undergoing testing as a prototype for the Blazer and had appeared to be wearing its traditional production skin. It’s a bit tough to be positive about the front or rear light clusters, but these pics depicted a quite long low and wide style with smaller front and rear overhangs and a longer wheelbase.
The electric Blazer may not be built on the same platform as the ICE model, and Chevy has not yet confirmed what platform the Blazer EV will ride on, but it looks like it could be on a bespoke EV architecture that could possibly be the Ultium platform. This has undergone intense design and engineering to offer a range of battery pack capabilities between 50 kWh and 200 kWh, with over 300 miles of driving range on one charge while using the largest battery pack.
This Blazer EV may not get a 200 kWh pack, but its size and the fact that Chevy bears much interest in a performance version could still yield around 80 kWh. In contrast to its competitors, the current-model 2022 Blazer is a 5-seat crossover that has most definitely donned a very stylish suit for the party! With a choice between turbo-4 and V6 power, the Blazer offers up a sporty driving flair to go with its trendy appearance. The Premier trim level is where things get perfectly prepped to explore with a sunroof to soak in all the fun, a cloud-based navigation system, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.
When this newer all-electric model hits the market, we are going to be thrilled to enjoy the same perfectly comfy front seats wrapped in cloth or leather, and way above average legroom and wide door openings for rear-seat passengers. The Blazer namesake has always resonated with us as bringing about memories of the ideal and very useful cross between an early-model SUV along with the capabilities of a sturdy truck. With strong styling matched to even stronger engines, this year’s Blazer along with the eco-friendly versions arriving soon is the perfect antidote to everyday urban driving doldrums, and anything less ordinary under the middle rung of the available consumer checklist!
