13:01 that bike lane is a nightmare of failed infrastructure design.
Calm down. It's a rail trail.
@@mtnman1984no
@@mtnman1984I am calm. I am also concerned for any unprotected road user at this juncture’s terrible design.
That interior is going to age like fine... milk.... Chevy baby what are you doing 😭😭😭
The fact this has an 'RS' badge is a travesty. This is like if Honda made a Pilot SI: Would absolutely tarnish the nameplate lol
No worries - These silly things are supposed to biodegrade after 3 years/36,000 miles.
@@rpm773 It feels like the age of the 'forever car' you pass down to your kids is over. Modern vehicle electronics aren't built to stand the test of time and I don't feel like there are a lot of mandates in place to ensure OEMs give people the tools (hardware or software) to keep things on the road :(
@@danamal02 Yup. Manufacturers got wise
The car industry is so ruined
The red is so hideous.
Day 27 of asking Tedward to drive the S60R (the front of this blazer kinda reminds me of the ex30 especially headlides, really handsome overall)
The review of Jeremy Clarson will always be in my head... partly because of the car partly because the sound guy was deaf. (I like the music though)
She's one hell of a golf cart!
I drove this exact spec around for 2 days, and to me it felt like a cheaper car trying to portray itself as upscale. No CarPlay/Auto, horrible audio system, and generally a drab car for what it tries to portray itself as. A $53k MSRP is just too much for the overall quality/experience.
I think the equinox is a better driving car at a better price
Sound exactly like the gas powered Blazer lol
crying over CarPlay lol
This guy is a tool. It is obvious he just got his first EV.
My same car but in white! I paid $45.5K after liking it and leaving, waiting for the dealer to call and saying I am interested but not ready! Then going back and wanting to sit and talk about it, then trading my 2020 Bolt and getting the $7.5K from the dealer directly I financed $30K! Same as any car! Also the trunk opens after 3 bells when you are close!
Whoooaa that's a win, got the AWD rs for 30k. 👍🏾
Hopefully I can get on for 30k.
60k for a lifted sub-compact hatchback lmao.
I have zero love for this car but it’s definitely not a subcompact. It’s about the size of a Nissan Murano.
It's massive compared to a regular vehicle
@@shethjones4494 all the recent vehicles coming out are massive compared with older vehicles.
This seems like a great value for an EV. Good looks, good range, and it does almost everything right.
My Blazer EV LT has a full moonroof. It took me some time to get used to One Peddle Driving but now I absolutely love it.
As a young person I have zero interest in this car. Weird crossover size and shape, electric, trying to look like a sports car with name of an off-road legend that’s basically the opposite of this car.
Just reporting my findings to help people make decisions 🫡
@@TedwardDrives me too!
As another young person I agree, I wish traditional coupes and sedans, manuals and natural aspirated engines would stay forever.
@@bendino9016 yeah what hasn’t your generation made soft and lame
I’m like 26, and I agree every single word you say here. The best thing about this car is probably the front but when I see the sides and the whole appearance of it I am like “if this (and similar stuff) is what customers are willing to spend money on nowadays, then Thanos do have a point to eliminate half of the lives in universe”. But many of my friends at the same age love these disasters to death. I understand EV is an unstoppable trend, but changing a way of producing energy doesn’t mean making them into a bunch of similar lame boring craps.
The beeping in the back was the key fob being close enough to open the liftgate. 4 beeps and it'll open if you're within the range
I love this vehicle
No car play is actually not a big deal than I originally thought. The car drives nice, it quiet, and we’re getting good range on it. It’s practical, it’s not exactly exciting but it’ll do for the next few years
GM needs to make super cruise available in lower trims and less expensive models. You have to pay a subscription anyway and it I think it would help them sell a lot of cars.
Yes to the Altima steering! I ALWAYS have said the Altima feels super weird on the highway. I've had multiple people tell me they notice nothing... but it feels like an old truck that is hard to keep in a straight line. Even a 2009 that I drove felt the same at a 2024...
Very twitchy! It took a lot more effort that I like to keep it steady and straight
As soon as he said "it does not have apple..." I immediately knew, it's off the list.
no CarPlay is a huge knock against this car imo. Would be a much better purchase if it was at least optional.
For some reason the Blazer EV LT can get the sunroof, but not the RS AWD. Maybe for 2025
Came for the pain, stayed for the r8
Not gonna lie.. i like that interior!
The black and red combo looks really good. I like the dashboard also. I would like a sporty sedan with dual motor, all wheel drive and bucket seats. An equivalent to the the tesla model 3. If they do that they might even sell e few of them in europe! Make chevy great again. I would buy 🇺🇸 !!! 😉
i agree about the over sized wheels. i think it should have 15 or 16 inch wheels
I personally think I could live without Apple CarPlay just fine, especially if Google Maps is the native mapping interface and it’ll still play all my music and podcasts, but…GM could be leaving a hell of a lot of sales and leases on the table with that choice. It’ll really be interesting to see how this does on the market in comparison with the Prologue, which is essentially a Blazer with CarPlay and Android Auto…
The Blazer EV was product placement for the Barbie movie. Though that was the pre production SS variant.
Chevy should be sued for slander for what they’ve done to the Blazer name
😂
Bronco is so much better at representing the original.
Lol wait till you see what Ford has done to the Capri name
Yeah this thing ain’t blazn sheeit
As a fellow GX460 owner you have GOT to buy the Morimoto XB Led 7440 Amber turn signals. I’ve had them in for a year and they have never hyperflashed, dimmed or burned out and they’re relatively cheap considering how advanced they are. They are LEDs with a fan and a CANBUS chip as a failsafe. I’ve gifted them to all of my GX buds and family members because of how insanely good they really are
I just purchased this vehicle, I wanted to downsize my SUV since I’m not hauling kids around anymore. I needed something to run errands in and I thought this was perfect. I love the interior as it’s a little sporty. One thing I don’t like is how ugly the rims are. I will be swapping g those out. 21” is kind of an odd size but I like big tires. A couple of features I wish you would have touched on is the Auto Hold. Don’t know what that is. I thinks it’s also linked to the push button above the button that changes songs on the steering wheel (it has a pic of a battery) what the heck is that? 🤷🏻♀️
Still waiting for the Blazer EV SS...
16:35 that's an interesting street sign
😂
Nothing gets the people excited like a $53k General Motors EV!
Chevy really needs to stop with the Ronald McDonald Red interior trim
Interesting cute Chevy EV :3 Amazing video woohoo ❤
Why are we getting rid of stop/start buttons? Wtf?
One feature I have to have is super cruise.
Don’t care about apple car play.
The price tag is straight up ridiculous. I kinda don't get the Apple CarPlay argument. Does it let you text while driving through the UI on the built-in screens usually? If so, I don't see how's that any better than texting on your phone.
Fun fact: some EV owners think regenerative breaking means that your brake pads actually regenerate. My coworker and Aunt both thought that’s what that meant 😂
That’s new for me! Wild haha
Nobody that has the car more than a few weeks cares about carplay
if you don't get your notifications you haven't or your dealer didn't set it up correctly
man, is there a way you do a drive in Jag XJ40? Or at least talk about it?
First of Aall, WHERE IN NY IS THIS...Now! That blazer is Expensive.... a bit over the top on price
Enjoyed the review. However , you said (4:22) put on an adapter to use a supercharger? Only Ford and Rivian have that privilege. GM and all others are still waiting on Lord Musk to grant access .
I don't see what you can do with Apple carplay and you cannot do with it, or is it only because of the name Apple? Yes, you can read your message on the screen and you can answer, WhatsApp message maybe not
You can install Waze, you can install Spotify, you can install Radio apps, you can install youtube music, if you have a very uncommon app you still can use your phone and still can command next and previous track from the steering wheel. I do that when I play TH-cam on my phone.
Downside I see is, you cannot install TH-cam nor Netflix on such big screen, I know it is for safety but they can just block it while driving
GM changes their core beliefs quicker than farts leave a fan factory. I've been burned in the past by them letting paying customers do their quality testing for them. "Nobody Sweats The Recalls (details) Like GM."
How’s the CarPlay integration?
There is no CarPlay...all discussed in the video
@@TedwardDrives yeah I was just being an ass about GM leaving out CarPlay.
North Carolina has put an additional $200 tax on EVs and $100 tax on phev you have to pay in addition to your registration every year. Needless to say I was thinking of an EV but won’t be buying one anytime in the future.
I like it.
They should call it the Chevrolet Lasagna.
Charge port is soo ducking dumb... what if you're charging in rain? Ice? Why open like that?
Usually I'm a fan of red interiors, but this one ain't it for some reason. I think they should invert the red/black scheme on the seats. I guess the car is unappealing to me as a whole (for the price). Yet another example of manufacturers growing out of touch with their customer base by the day.
Accountants, pencil-pushers, and corporate mouth breathers should spend a minimum of two months turning wrenches on each model of car they will get to sign off on…
SIXTY THOUSAND doll hairs for this?! how are companies charging so much for their cars. Judas priest. I wonder how much this costs to manufacture. Like, what's the markup...
I don't really understand the whole issue with no carplay/andriod auto so long as google Maps is built in. Why is carplay/AA so important to yall? (Y'all referimg to those who wouldn't buy a car that doesn't have carplay.)
My thought is because it’s familiar and uniform across platforms. If you have multiple cars in your family and you switch between them, CarPlay allows for continuity across all vehicles. No need to fiddle and search for icons
@TedwardDrives I mean.. that's fair, but I've also only ever had 1-2 cars in my household, so it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to get used to them.
For me it’s two reasons. First off CarPlay generally is a more pleasant experience with more app compatibility than anything GM has come up with but most importantly GM is wanting to charge subscription fees to google maps. Google maps is part of onstar connect which is free for the first 8 years or something. Obviously it won’t be free after that. No one wants to pay for this when CarPlay works fine and is free.
Buy a car cover or set up Canopy
how come
@@TedwardDrives keep snow & ice and Frost off & protect against sun and rain & flying debris leaves etc
car covers scratch cars terribly. canopy are really ugly and cannot stand a New England ice or snow storm
Poor equipment.
No Apple CarPlay No go. I love the E Blazer but no.
Weird to point out but I hate the look of the headrests on the seat in all Chevy vehicles they’re so hideous and look old in my opinion
Idk what it is about circular shaped air vents that I hate so much. Whether they’re in Mercedes, Chevy Blazers, Lexus’, they just look so cheap and out of place to me.
That's a really nice lady razor -- Jeremy Clarkson
that is no blazer. i roommate owned 3 of them since we been have friends. two of them K5's. sadly we dont make em like that anymore.
I hate EVs, but this one is cool.
Edit: Just saw the rear end, nevermind.
Second edit: Just saw the interior, nevermind x2.
😂
Aka Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX which nobody wants.
Ask them what
60k for a chevy?
