Comparing the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV vs Equinox EV

As the future of cars turns greener and greener every year, Chevrolet takes the lead with a growing line-up of electric vehicles!  The latest models to join the Chevrolet EV team are the iconic midsize 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and the compact 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV.  Both vehicles are built using the versatile Ultium battery platform created by General Motors, and they provide a range of powertrain options that are sure to satisfy Future Chevrolet customers all over Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Lincoln, Davis, and  Fair Oaks.  The staff here at Future Chevrolet know that purchasing a new vehicle is a big decision, so we are here to help you navigate the differences and similarities between these two hotly anticipated electric vehicles.  This review will cover the specs of both the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, including engine specs, interior features, range and horsepower.  One thing we are sure of is that the sporty and performance-focused 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV and the high-range and tech forward 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV are sure to impress those ready to jump into an electrifying future!

Starting off with the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, a two row SUV that seats five passengers, the powertrain options vary depending on the trim model you choose.  The entry-level LT comes with standard all-wheel drive, while the RS trim can come with either rear-wheel or standard all-wheel drive.  The all-wheel drive models are powered by two electric motors that pump out 288 horsepower, while the rear-wheel drive options utilize a more powerful single electric motor that offers an impressive 340 horsepower.  If your budget allows for the trim-topping SS model, it comes with an exclusive 557 horsepower electric powertrain, 648 lb-ft of torque, and Performance all-wheel drive, allowing this beast to go from 0-60 mph in just under four seconds!  If you're looking for the highest estimated driving range, the RS model takes the lead here with a 324 mile range if you get rear-wheel drive, and 279 miles if you choose the AWD version.  The all-wheel drive LT is slated to also output a range of 279 miles.

Moving over to the compact 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, customers will find the standard front-wheel drive powertrain provides 213 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, less than the base model of the Blazer EV.  All-wheel drive models receive an eAWD system that moves up the ponies to 288 and 346 lb-ft of torque.  A difference to note here is the amount of range the Equinox EV gets compared to the Blazer EV: the front-wheel drive Equinox EV is expected to produce a 300 mile range, while the all-wheel drive model should bring a range of about 280 miles, so overall the numbers for the Equinox EV are less than those of the Blazer EV.

As far as charging time goes for these electric vehicles, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV sits atop the throne with a DC fast-charge capability maximum of 190-kW, which translates to 78 miles of range in only ten minutes of charge time.  The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV is not far behind, however, as it maxes out at a 150-kW peak, charging to a 70 mile range in ten minutes.  Plugging in at home to the standard 11.5-kW level AC charging can add up to 34 miles of range with an hour of charge time for both EVs.

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV brings more trim options with it compared to the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, with five models for customers of Future Chevrolet of Sacramento to choose from.  Starting off with the base 1LT trim, you will enjoy 319 miles of range with the FWD drive options, 19-inch alloy wheels, a 17.7-inch diagonal display touch screen, an 11-inch diagonal driver information center, and a formidable list of Chevy Safety Assist features.  Moving up to the 2LT adds amenities like a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, and heated front seats, while the exterior is further modernized with a front LED light bar.  For the best combination of features for the price tag, the 3LT boasts ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, 21-inch aluminum wheels, and Reverse Automatic Braking.  The sportier 2RS model showcases a heated flat-bottom steering wheel and front and rear outboard seats with performance-oriented exterior design elements.  At the top of the trim hierarchy rests the 3RS, which sports 21-inch black wheels and the most driver assist features of the bunch.

If the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV is more your style, you will have three trims to choose from.  Beginning with the entry-level LT, you can expect a 279 mile range with the standard all-wheel drive, 19-inch wheels, an 11-inch diagonal driver information center and a 17.7-inch diagonal touch-screen display gracing the interior.  The RS comes with available RWD drive that gets you the highest range of 324 miles, street-inspired exterior design elements that include 21-inch wheels, a black-painted grille panel and lower fascia with sporty flow-through rocker molding, and an illuminated front light bar and bowtie animation.  Jumping into the interior, you will enjoy Evotex upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and heated and ventilated front seats.  The range-topping SS includes Performance AWD, Brembo front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, a virtual mirror, faux suede upholstery, a head-up display and heated rear outboard seats.
