We chose the Blazer EV RS RWD- it is impressive how GM has improved their products! Photos and videos don't do it justice. You have to see it in person! LOVE THIS BLAZER!!
@@jamesbrei3285 I'm curious to know this as well. Michigan here and live in the snow belt. Since EV's are nearly prefect 50/50 weight distribution, I'm thinking it would do pretty well with dedicated snow tires, but I've love to hear from actual owners in states that get real winters.
i want this version because SOMETIMES we actually tow stuff like dirt or drywall and 3500lbs is ok but i would miss the 5200lbs limit we had in our traverse but the driving in snow is the next worry for the trade off (I know anyone over a certain age will say "well back in my day all we had was rwd")
Just bought a 2024 Blazer Rs she drives like a dream smooth, music system is awesome. I don't like alot on my dash so some people saying it's forgettable is fine cause again less is more for me.
16:20. As a note, this vehicle is behind on software updates. The current software has the seat heating and seat vent functions as seperate screen icons for easier operation (among other updates)
The fact you can get a head-up display on the EV but not the ICE is a head scratcher. I'm curious if Chevy would have better sales if they offered Hybrid-a happy medium.

I was out and about and I just saw a new 25 Chevy blazed RS gas version. It looked really nice. I never considered Chevy honestly but I like what they did with the new 25 Blazer AND equinox.
As an owner of this vehicle, I would not recommend it. We had a 2020 Blazer that got totaled when someone blew a red light at 55 mph. We liked that vehicle so much that we decided to replace it with the EV version. What a mistake. The infotainment system is buggy. The screen will black out, but the music keeps playing. The navigation system routinely fails to upload directions. The adaptive cruise control has a hard time determining the exact location of other vehicles (especially at night) and will do some dangerous emergency breaking for no reason. We even have an issue with the turn signals. When we select the right turn signal, occasionally, the left turn signal will flash three times before the right one turns on....when we pull the car out of the garage, we have place the vehicle in park in order to navigate to the icon to close the garage door (this is a new problem that started after the latest update from the dealer). This isn't all the issues, but I think it gets my point across.
First time watching one of your videos, you do a good job. You're either very smart, have done a ton of these or both. I'm looking at one of these tomorrow hopefully. My understanding is that the differences between the AWD and RWD is that you get a larger battery at 102 KWH vs 85. More towing at 3,500 lbs vs 1,500. And someone in your comments says it is the only one that has the BOSE premium sound. Can you confirm those differences and I'm curious if you can confirm that all Blazer EV's have vehicle to home, (V2H), power backup?
Does he ever mention that the rear wheel drive has 320 hp which is more than what the all-wheel-drive has? You have to go to the SS to get a blazer with more horsepower on the 2024. You can get the rear wheel drive, fully loaded with the large battery, super cruise and the sunroof. You can’t do that with the all-wheel-drive at least not in 2024.

I like the design, the creases along the shoulder lines on the quarter panels remind me of a 1971 Chevelle. I also like how they extend the lights as far to the edge of the vehicle as possible like old muscle cars to make the Blazer EV look more confident, boxy, and make the car seem lower. Chevy also did it with the redesigned Trax. I really dig it.
It's time for a new vehical for my wife, we intend to use it as our "around town" car. But, torn between Blazer EV RS and Mach E, or even go for the Mach E Rally We won't really use the Rally, like a rally car. But, would want the "softer" ride. But, like the larger interior of the Blazer EV Any insight / feedback? especially Blazer EV RS vs Mach E Rally for a daily driver?
I went to look at one today bc their sept lease deal is insane. Giving them away. Their VIN starts w 3 which means Mexico. How does Chevrolet get away with that?? Kinda bothered me.
Yeah Steven did a good job, that was a nice little truck too, it should've been only front or all wheel drive, but rear wheel is cool too. It should add an extra 5 horses or something too though.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
I just was at ACE hardware and I thought these were Starbucks drinks, but they're really made from Hostess. There's a Twinkie flavored Iced Latte that they sale that taste pretty good.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
I'm a technician for chevrolet this is model to get high end and it only one to get also if you like sounds it's the only model that has bose premium sound system basic sound is auful...
Those vents look like cheap bluetooth speakers you get from Walmart. And that's the only point of interest inside. The exterior is bloated and bulbus. Utterly forgettable car. Are they aiming for the rental market with the non-RS trim?
@@MurseTech64 How about resale value ? What if you rent and don’t own a home ? 9.5 to 11hrs to fully charge at level 1 station ? Nah I’m all set I can fill up in under 3 mins … see ya ✌️
Yuck! Not another stupid battery car! Where's the Blazer ICE ? Battery cars are junk and are on their way out. Don't do reviews on battery cars, cause I won't watch them!

Not much different from the Equinox. The EV gets Super Cruise where the ICE doesn't.

I have 9,000 miles on my rear drive RS Blazer EV. I have not had any of the problems you are having. Actually, my Blazeri has been trouble free.
Who at GM is obsessed with gloss black?? Holy moly 😂
If you watch Raiti's often , you should know that fad is on most brands.
Matte Black gets old looking very quickly
All that gloss black on the exterior will look like shit quickly!
Congrats on 1.18 million subs of Raiti. Are you thinking about doing a 1.25 or 1.50 million sub celebration?
That so awesome of you to say Chris! Thank m thinking 1.25 would work perfectly
Why would you waste the money on hood struts when you can do anything under the hood?
I actually like fabric coming back to cars as trim/accent. Back on the 1991 Z and mid 90’s S Class and SL it made the interiors even more special.
Goodbye Prius👋 Holla Kona👋 Kick rocks Insight👋 Call it quits Ioniq whatever 👋 American Car Brands are back baby!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Chevy Blazer EV Is Not That Bad👍🏻👌🏻⚡️🚙💨!!!
Big savings in our town on RS models. 44K
That’s more like it, $57K somebody is smoking some really good stuff.
Yep we got one with everything- LOVE IT
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Just got the RS AWD from Dimmitt, so comfortable, love it!
Yes of course Joe and I could rather buy this.
that panel gap where the front and rear doors meet
Go have eyes checked.
Hey Joe did Chevy stop making the performance trim for Chevy blazer ev?
For a second there I thought you said it was "real wheel drive."
Looks good.
Nice suv
I like your Clips,you are the BEST !!👍👍Greetings from Germany

Good job Steven! Good job with the rhyming!
I’ve had mine for about a month now and just love it.
That is fantastic to hear Karen! Congrats!

Chevy did a great job here. I don't want a full EV, but would consider this in hybrid, no plug in form.
I was impressed with the red trim on the rear AC vents as well.
Those red lines are actually LED's... and red is the default color.
@@jarheadcharlie2315 Thank you so much for letting me know about it.
I seen one on the road in the same color and its one of the sexiest ev I've seen. I think it was the RS tho
The body lines...I dunno.
Me likey, would like the option of a lighter interior than the red/black.
See the other interior in person- it's very nice.
Love your car video
Fairly nice but nothing to write home about for the price IMO. Would have loved to see a hybrid of this.
It's time for a new vehical for my wife, we intend to use it as our "around town" car.
But, torn between Blazer EV RS and Mach E, or even go for the Mach E Rally

I think it would be a good idea to include where the cars were manufactured. Some of us like US built cars, some of us do not.
I went to look at one today bc their sept lease deal is insane. Giving them away. Their VIN starts w 3 which means Mexico. How does Chevrolet get away with that?? Kinda bothered me.
@@eawhite09Cost of labour in the US is over $40 an hour while Mexico is $15.
In the beginning u said no cool seats then at the end you said it has it ??
Surprise!
I heard you say very and I was waiting for a demure haha.
No Apple CarPlay, No way José!! Maybe next time GM.
some vehicles are meant for those not too attached to certain things.
No other Auto Brand is better than American Car Design, Performance and Features🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
All those people stopped on the bridge are breaking the law
Yeah Steven did a good job, that was a nice little truck too, it should've been only front or all wheel drive, but rear wheel is cool too. It should add an extra 5 horses or something too though.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Definitely not if you live where you get snow. You'd be screwed
It's illegal in some snow states. During winter of course.
It's heavy and you don't really need the AWD- RWD is fine
I'm a gm tech rwd is fine in snow especially since vehicle is heavy and it has snow mode..
My EVs drive much better in the snow than any of my ice cars ever did
Exposed wiper on an EV at that price is a major zonk
I just was at ACE hardware and I thought these were Starbucks drinks, but they're really made from Hostess. There's a Twinkie flavored Iced Latte that they sale that taste pretty good.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Is this a push to start raiti ?
No
Sharp looking, but still a Chevrolet. Lease it, or roll the dice, baby!🤞
Vehicles required maintenance.
owners tend to forget that.
I'm a technician for chevrolet this is model to get high end and it only one to get also if you like sounds it's the only model that has bose premium sound system basic sound is auful...
I don't think I have ever seen you this bored on a test drive before.
Nice

I would definitely go with the Lyriq over this. Hell, even the Prologue looks better.
don't hate on what you can't have.
RWD?? This will be great in the snow.... dafuq
That charging port is atrocious and poorly located! Huge miss on no frunk. There must be a lot of wasted space under all that plastic.
Another unoriginal EV cash grab Joe.
No, I shouldn’t buy it. But I’m pretty close to buying the V6 RS.
Sounds like a plan!
Your visits to the bathroom must be very eventful.
The headlights and vent area look like the Ultimate Warrior's face paint! ha
It's very cool looking and so much better than ugly Toyota, etc.
Yeah Lori might also like that cartoon theme song that they had for it like 6 or several years ago.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
$57,000, nope.
EVs are a joke! Quit upselling this stupid stuff!!
This will age horribly.

Running mascara face
Why do EV wheels look terrible!? OMG…🤦🏼♂️
No thank, proven gm unreliability, and high price, is recipe for failure, just give me proven model y.

No thanks

Buying an EV without a frunk just seems not right. Get it together GM.
Nobody wants an electric vehicle period.
