00:00:10.416 --> 00:00:11.637
time now for this hour's car review.
00:00:11.637 --> 00:00:18.006
I had a chance to drive the 2024 chevrolet blazer ev.
00:00:18.006 --> 00:00:23.231
Comes in two trim levels the 2lt and the r.
00:00:23.231 --> 00:00:31.091
There's more to come later, but right now that's it Reviewed trim level is the RS all-wheel drive.
00:00:31.091 --> 00:00:34.229
This is considered by the government a small SUV.
00:00:34.229 --> 00:00:35.886
I say it's a midsize.
00:00:35.886 --> 00:00:40.270
It's a two-row, five-seat SUV.
00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:43.369
Exterior changes the Blazer has nothing in common.
00:00:43.369 --> 00:00:44.645
This Blazer has nothing in common.
00:00:44.645 --> 00:00:49.905
This blazer has nothing in common with the gasoline engine blazer.
00:00:49.905 --> 00:00:51.789
Okay, this is completely different.
00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:57.265
And here they go again using the name that they've already got, kind of like ford did with the mustang.
00:00:57.265 --> 00:01:01.561
Yeah, the machi, yeah, please come on.
00:01:01.561 --> 00:01:04.828
Uh, by the way, it what we didn't know?
00:01:04.828 --> 00:01:15.831
I didn't know until I started doing the research on this that this Blazer is on the same platform as the Cadillac Lyric.
00:01:15.831 --> 00:01:17.194
What, oh?
00:01:17.194 --> 00:01:18.784
I didn't know that that's a Cadillac Lyric.
00:01:18.784 --> 00:01:19.546
It's not that big.
00:01:19.546 --> 00:01:23.799
Well, platform-wise yeah, platform is the same as the Cadillac Lyric.
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.322
Wow, that's a shock.
00:01:25.322 --> 00:01:29.873
And it's also the platform for the Chevy Equinox EV.
00:01:29.873 --> 00:01:34.299
So they're using the same names but they're different vehicles.
00:01:34.299 --> 00:01:37.590
Well, the frame must have to be a certain build to do that.
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:39.265
Well, yeah, that's that skateboard thing.
00:01:39.265 --> 00:01:39.968
I understand now.
00:01:40.099 --> 00:01:46.953
Exterior features sleek-looking front fender-to-fender lightning-fast thing it looks good.
00:01:46.953 --> 00:01:51.411
Sloping rear roofline with tiny rear hatch glass.
00:01:51.411 --> 00:01:53.185
Tri-tail lights.
00:01:53.185 --> 00:02:02.814
Faux brake ducts on the front fenders, which is a different kind of take when it comes to brake ducting, faux anything.
00:02:02.814 --> 00:02:06.469
What I liked about it the unique modern sheet metal.
00:02:06.469 --> 00:02:07.965
This thing looks good, in my opinion.
00:02:07.965 --> 00:02:16.870
Interior highlights contrasting two-tone colors make the interior pop on this Big infotainment screen that's easy to use.
00:02:16.870 --> 00:02:20.562
General Motors in general has really stepped up to the plate when it comes to their infotainment system.
00:02:20.562 --> 00:02:24.685
Comfortable seating with unique materials on it has really stepped up to the plate when it comes to their infotainment system.
00:02:24.685 --> 00:02:27.806
Comfortable seating with unique materials on it.
00:02:27.806 --> 00:02:30.908
Big center console for storage.
00:02:30.908 --> 00:02:36.673
Cargo trunk room is adequate, nothing out of the ordinary, but it matches up with other vehicles in its class.
00:02:37.112 --> 00:02:39.995
What I liked about it top-notch stuff.
00:02:39.995 --> 00:02:42.836
And it is a Chevy.
00:02:42.836 --> 00:02:49.344
It does not look like a Chevy when you get inside of it.
00:02:49.344 --> 00:02:50.168
It's first class all the way.
00:02:50.168 --> 00:02:52.175
I'm telling you what could use improvement nothing.
00:02:52.175 --> 00:02:53.258
It's beautiful, I think.
00:02:53.278 --> 00:02:59.596
Um, engine this is a two motor electric, so it's got motors in the front and the rear in this one.
00:02:59.596 --> 00:03:01.159
Now, miles per gallon.
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:10.155
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.
00:03:10.155 --> 00:03:13.509
It gets 300 miles on a single charge.
00:03:13.509 --> 00:03:24.231
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.
00:03:24.231 --> 00:03:26.223
So I plug it in at work.
00:03:26.223 --> 00:03:28.430
Charge is there, plug it at home.
00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:29.352
It works here.
00:03:29.352 --> 00:03:34.143
Now, if I were going to drive 300 miles on it that wouldn't work.
00:03:34.143 --> 00:03:35.574
So there's that.
00:03:36.691 --> 00:03:48.366
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.
00:03:48.366 --> 00:03:52.721
So you have to drill down into the menu to turn that feature off.
00:03:52.721 --> 00:03:54.437
Why would you have that feature anyway?
00:03:54.437 --> 00:04:00.199
It's strictly a PR thing, I think, but the whole night long I thought it's going to storm.
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.193
I look out and see through the blinds.
00:04:02.193 --> 00:04:03.979
You know the flashing lights in the driveway.
00:04:03.979 --> 00:04:04.460
Yeah, you thought it was.
00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:05.322
I think it's going to be a storm.
00:04:05.322 --> 00:04:08.180
No, it's the car, because I've got it plugged in.
00:04:08.180 --> 00:04:10.091
Who dreamt that up?
00:04:10.091 --> 00:04:11.252
Put a little dot on the dash.
00:04:11.252 --> 00:04:13.234
It gets A-plus for the ride.
00:04:13.234 --> 00:04:23.281
Quality Okay, comfortable ride, handles well, a-plus all the way on this car Base trim price $56,200.
00:04:23.302 --> 00:04:26.264
Prices tested $60,710.
00:04:26.264 --> 00:04:29.827
Base model price $48,800.
00:04:29.827 --> 00:04:34.982
Competitors Mustang Mach-E $39,995 is where it starts.
00:04:34.982 --> 00:04:41.336
Tesla Model Y starts at $42,990, and the Kia EV6 starts at $42,600.
00:04:41.336 --> 00:04:47.264
That's my review of the 2024 Blazer EV RS all-wheel drive.
00:04:47.264 --> 00:04:48.112
Go check it out.
00:04:48.112 --> 00:04:50.057
I think that you'll be impressed as well.
00:04:50.057 --> 00:04:55.261
If you're looking for an electric, you wouldn't compare that to the Cadillac version.
00:04:55.261 --> 00:04:59.480
Well, I haven't driven the Cadillac version, and yes, but it's the same vehicle.
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:00.060
Yeah, okay.
00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:01.954
What was the range on this one?
00:05:01.954 --> 00:05:03.276
Did it say 300 miles?
00:05:03.276 --> 00:05:03.899
Okay, 300 miles.
00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:05.062
Yeah, all right.
