                                          Blazer	EV



                                          The Chevrolet Blazer EV is debuting as an all-new vehicle
                                          in  2023  as  a  2024  model  year.  Blazer  EV  is  a  5-seat
                                          electric crossover that’s only available as a 4-door wagon.
                                          Competitors include the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla
                                          Model Y. A high-performance SS trim will also be available.


                                          Four different trims are available: 1LT,  2LT,  RS  and  SS.  Pricing
                                          ranges from $35,000 to $45,000. Drivetrain specifics haven’t been
                                          released, but driving range will vary from 247 to 320 miles depending
                                          on trim, though these are GM estimates only. Front-, rear-, and all-
                                          wheel drive will be offered. The SS trim is predicted to generate up
                                          to 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque, and get from zero
                                          to 60 in approximately four seconds.

                                             Blazer EV will be set up for 11.5 kW Level 2 AC charging and 190
                                              kW DC fast charging, with a supposed charging time of just 10
                                              minutes for 78 miles of added range. GM’s Super Cruise semi-
                                             autonomous  driving  system  will  also  be  present.  On  specific
                                             roads and under certain driving conditions, Super Cruise allows
                                            the driver to operate the vehicle “hands free.”  Super Cruise can
                                           maintain  vehicle  speed  and  can  apply  steering  inputs  for  lane
                                           centering and curves. The driver must pay attention as the system
                                          monitors the driver’s gaze. Look away from the road for too long and
                                          Super Cruise will issue an alert. Blazer EV is expected to go on sale
                                          in summer of 2023. Pricing will range from $47,000 to $66,000.
