- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video we compare the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV 3LT and the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV RS AWD. These are Chevy's latest Ultium vehicles and may be cross shopped by certain buyers looking for an electric SUV. The Chevy Equinox EV starts in the low $40k price range while the Blazer EV starts in the upper $40k range. Both vehicles feature the same 85kWh battery package and total system output from their dual motors (When equipped with AWD). The Equinox EV has slightly more range when compared to the Blazer. The Blazer offers slightly more interior space but less features are available to option on the vehicle. If you're in the market for an electric SUV, are either of these vehicles on your shopping list? Let me know below!

I got to test drive an Equinox EV a month ago and loved it. Is bigger than it looks. I’m 6’8” and lots of room. Sat in the Blazer EV at the same time and actually preferred the Equinox EV. Both were attractive in person. The Equinox EV I drove did have super cruise.
I am the same size as you and found the Blazer EV to be more comfortable. Interesting….🤔
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason Nice! Love to hear another tall person fitting in these EV’s. That Blazer is good looking.
@@EVbeginner with me my height come from the legs. I only with the car companies would get rid of the connected middle consoles. They should do what the BoltEV ( early models pre 2022 ….I have a 2021 ) and the Ioniq 5 has done and leave it more open.
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason I agree. I tried sitting in a Solterra EV and my legs could not fit between console and steering wheel.
Very good video - just the comparison I was looking for. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I prefer the front end of the blazer but the rear end of the equinox ev 😂
I just the opposite.
I think youi meant to say the charging is on the DRIVER"s side.... the first time youi meantion it... Also, to me at least, the Blazer looks a lot bigger.
The Blazer is larger but in person it's not substantially different
WTF is GM thinking. No super cruise on what is supposed to be the better vehicle. Just stupid. One of the things that helps to lower prices is to have each vehicle equipped with the ability to do everything if you purchase or subscribe to the feature. Blazer is now off my list do to the lack of Super Cruise. I'm no fan of Tesla but every vehicle they make has the ability to add FSD to any of the current models. I'm going to look at the equinox in Oct when I ditch my id4. However at the pricing other makes can be had with more features and faster charging. I would suggest that at least for the next five years everyone should lease. This protects you under warranty and assures that as tech increases you keep up with it . Batteries in particular are changing all the time as is the time to charge.
The Bose sound system is definitely available on the Blazer EV RS, at least for the RWD version.
Yes only RWD. Not available otherwise. RWD also uses a different battery which is why it would exactly be apples to apples.
So happy I got a launch edition Bolt EUV.
Great review
I'm just gonna get a AWD Santa Fe Hybrid and call it a day. But great video as always.
Are they comparable in terms of battery size, range, efficiency, charging speed?
Freeze at 21:57.
Yes Definitely the door handle with buttons...
Glad you mentioned your damaged back...I too have damaged lower back since childhood hood that was damaged more by reckless driver in 2021.
So driving and sitting is very important, I can't handle any vibrations in the seat, no lumbar inflation...How is the drive quality in the Blazer/Equinox is it smooth? The frame takes the vibrations on bad roads, it's not felt in the brake or gas pedal or the seat?
Have you driven the EV Silverado, is air suspension even smoother? Very interested in your opinion on that drive.
My Blazer ev is the smoothest ride ever.
I will have some information on the Blazer EV coming in my likes/dislikes and review. It is very smooth overall with just a small aspect about it I don't love but it's not harsh at all.
I have no driven the Silverado EV with air suspension. The W/T models have coil spring setups.
How long till we see the blazer ev SS model?
Great question. With no mention of this vehicle in the pricing guide or order guide, it could be several months yet.
Awesome video. However can I make a video request? I am in the market for an upgrade from my Black 2021 BoltEV Premier to either a BlazerEV or a Hyundai Ioniq 5. I have yet to find a video comparing these two similarly priced evs.
I am either going for an Ioniq 5 Ultimate ( what you Americans call a Limited ) or a Blazer ev rs awd ( the same config as the one in this video)
Wanna be the first? 😉
I was actually thinking the same thing while I had the Blazer for the week. I haven't seen too many people comparing these two despite the prices being very similar. I know which one I would take hands down but for others it might not be so easy. I will keep this in mind once an Ioniq 5 Limited is available in my area. 🙂
@@CarsMadeSimple Thank you. Appreciate that.
Great job!
Thanks!
The prices I've been seeing on Blazers make it a no-brainer right now, to me. That's why I got one. You were right though, the "pop-out" door handles on the equinox were a major turnoff for me, however, I did like the manual charging port cover.
I don't mind the manual charge port door either. The door handles would likely bother me over the long run though.
@@CarsMadeSimple I'm a little worried about the charge port motor in the winter. Hopefully it does better than the power running boards on my Silverado.
Equinox EV doesn't have a wireless phone charger in any trim does it? Weird omission on higher trims if it doesn't
Not from my understanding. It does seem like a weird omission as does the lack of a premium sound system on any trim.
@@CarsMadeSimpleIt’s a Chevy Equinox, not a luxury car. The sound system sounds great. What’s the complaint coming from considering all that you get at the $45k price range?
@@G-Rated There are objective measures to sound systems but to my ear its quite poor at this price point. When there are $30k vehicles with better sound systems (including from GM themselves) I don't know how it can be acceptable to most people at $40k+. If you don't care about audio, then sure its fine. Anyone remotely interested in listening to music would question it or find it lackluster. The most I experience vehicles, the most I see where cost cutting happens. In the Blazer EV especially there is no excuse as to why you have to get a RS RWD to get the Bose system where its not available in the RS AWD.
@@CarsMadeSimple You’ve also claimed the front seat comfort and visibility are poor and you’re the only person I’ve ever heard make such comments. Customers I’ve come across of the Equinox EV (also lacks an upgradable audio system) and Blazer EV do not complain about the sound system being of poor quality. I absolutely love music so the sound system is very important to me, a good one is something I look for, but this seems to be a go-to for the people who can’t find actual faults with these vehicles. Same thing with the Blazer’s sibling, the Cadillac Lyriq. Reviewers who can’t find faults with it claim the sound system sounds poor. What sounds good is totally subjective, so that’s neither here nor there.
It’s really not that big of a deal that the Bose system isn’t standard on cheaper AWD models, it could be something they add to that configuration later on. You’re obviously being very nitpicky here.
You show the two dealer's stickers while stating 'they are very, very similar in what they have to offer'. Apparently, you are referring to the option packages. Let's be clear, though: They are also "offering" two similarly equipped choices that are $14,000 apart in price. That's an expensive amount of sizzle for comparable portions of steak.
Can you explain how they $14k apart?
@@CarsMadeSimple The Mulroney stickers that are shown in the video.
Because the Blazer isn’t the size of the old Trailblazer(3 row). It feels like a waste to make both SUVs. I know the Blazer is a bit bigger but that seems like that’s the biggest difference to me. I know tons of difference but they seem too close to me
They really do have overlapping qualities which may make the Blazer a harder sell over time. Sales will be the tell tell sign to see which people prefer.
The Blazer is RWD. That seems to be the biggest differentiator, and might make it handle differently.
@@TKevinBlanc This Blazer is primarily FWD.
@@CarsMadeSimple Oh. My bad. I thought I understood that one was FWD and the other RWD. Of course, that makes me wonder even more.... why two vehicles? Why not a Blazenox and an "E10" pickup to compete against the Maverick?
@@TKevinBlanc The Equinox in this video is FWD only the Blazer is AWD but FWD biased. You can buy a Blazer EV RWD but that was not this one in this video. Yeah I believe these two vehicles overlap in what they offer but others seem to think the Blazer is different enough to justify the price difference.
Blazer RS EV is do much better! Bought one after test driving both of these.
I’m sure a Traverse or GMC Acadia EV will be coming on the Cadillac VISTIQ’s platform. The Blazer exists to offer Chevy customers a more premium and comfortable experience than an Equinox. If you think the Blazer is pointless, check Chevrolet Blazer sales again.
The problem is the Lyriq exists and it's not that much more depending on how you spec one. I don't see the Blazer EV being a very successful model for GM over the long haul. Then you throw in the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX and it'll dilute sales even further. If it offered better technology for the money, I could see it being a good option.
@@CarsMadeSimple that’s like saying nobody will buy a Chevy Tahoe High Country or GMC Yukon Denali because the Cadillac Escalade exist for “not much more money”.
The Lyriq’s price has nothing to do with people who want a Chevy Blazer EV. They occupy two completely separate segments and satisfy two completely different customers.
No one with eyes and a brain are concerned that Honda’s phoned in Prologue or ZDX will hurt *gm’s* sales. They would have to be *better* than the originals first, and the Blazer has a superior design to even the Acura.
@@CarsMadeSimple The Blazer has a class leading built in infotainment system designed by Google boasting the largest and most intuitive displays in the segment at over 17 inches, very competitive range/battery charging speeds, and class leading semi autonomous driving system. what better technology should this Chevrolet have for the money?
@@G-Rated I'm sorry but you sound extremely biased. There is objectively better EV technology currently being offered on the market in terms of charging, range and/or efficiency at a similar price. Google Automotive OS is also found in several other manufacturers. Super Cruise is by far the best piece of technology currently being offered by GM's SUV's... Well it actually wasn't available at all on the Blazer EV for 2024 which was another huge miss. Anyways, have a good day 👋
@@CarsMadeSimple Yea, sure _I’m_ the one that sounds biased. You’ve yet to name any competitors offering better technology for less money.
Sorry, not sure what your name is. This is my first time seeing a vehicle review.
When I heard of you having a back issue, and hearing you interject your back problems came off as if GM has not focused on the ergonomics of the Beautiful Blazer and Beautiful Equinox.
I am sorry, but hearing your review, of these two beautiful EVs. I may not be a listener to your content. I like facts and not conjecture, which you gave quite a bit.
I like the RWD option of the blazer.......The car tho is too long for My garage.........I think it is really a stinking poor idea to use FWD on a well balanced EV like Chevy is doing with the Equinox...And that would force Me to get the AWD which is also poorly done with the front power bias........This is bass-ackwards........Also useless to talk about a $7500 rebate when Those of Us on SS can not qualify and ANY of Us low income Folks; That would be Us Who really need a lower priced car can not get the discount...............Paul
Why such huge wheels? Even Porsche offers 19-inch wheels on their Taycan …. Smaller wheels give better range & better ride quality and better safety at lower cost. Yeah, the receding/electronic door handles are a big Fail, as is the electronic, non-manual charge-port door
Smaller wheels are way cheaper to replace
I wouldn't get either of these, I don't trust gm reliability, for me proven tesla model y or 3
Too Bad they didn’t make a Traverse EV. Blazer Ev should not exist IMO
That would have been a great move with an early entry into the 3 row segment!
Agree! Blazer is for the most part, pointless. It really exists only to keep the platform mates' costs down. It definitely would make more sense to do a 3 row Traverse EV to go up against the EV9 and R1S.
@@jeffs6090if the Blazer was so pointless it wouldn’t be selling in either ICE nor EV configurations. You not seeing the point in a more premium Blazer and there not being a point are two entirely different things.
@@G-Rated When the Equinox EV comes out, the Blazer EV will be more or less pointless. Idc about the ICE version. That's not what we're talking about here.
@@jeffs6090 Yes it is, you’re talking about the Blazer and there are both ICE and EV versions of it. If it was pointless to have a Blazer EV it’d be pointless to have a gasoline powered Blazer as well. You’ve yet to explain how offering your customers more options is “pointless”. 🙄
Scrap the POS Blazer! Equinox spot on!!
Equinox is far more modern design. Blazer already looks “old”.
Two overpriced vehicles. Buy chinese ev for half price.
