MotorTrend Names Chevy Blazer EV 2024 SUV of the Year
As a sign of the move towards electric vehicles, MotorTrend gives the title of 2024 SUV of the Year to the Chevy Blazer EV. Chevy can be proud of the designation along with the fact that the 2024 Chevrolet Trax took third place.
The competition included 40 models, most of which were traditional gas-powered vehicles. However, electric vehicles are becoming more integrated on the roadways as everyday commuters and vacation models with extended ranges. MotorTrend recognizes the cutting-edge technology of the 2024 Blazer EV, multiple powertrain options, and exceptional design, naming those components as the reasons for the decision. The Blazer continues the Chevrolet tradition that had been previously acclaimed in 2017 as Car of the Year with the Chevy Bolt EV.
Vehicles are evaluated by six criteria, including performance, safety, efficiency, value, engineering excellence, performance of intended function, and advancement in design. The Blazer EV includes both front and rear-wheel drive along with all-wheel drive. This model features a massive 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen that can be customized according to driver preference. This SUV was certified by the EPA for up to 324 miles on a single charge in rear-wheel drive.
