I drove Chevy's $57,000 Blazer EV. From giant screens to great maps, these 18 features make the high-tech SUV worth it.

• Chevrolet launched the Blazer EV in late 2023.
• I recently drove the $57,000 SUV in RS trim with all-wheel-drive.

Upon its launch in late 2023, the Chevrolet Blazer EV was one of the first mainstream offerings built on GM's EV platform shared by the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV.

All three trim levels have been discounted several times this year as automakers struggle with slowing demand growth for EVs. The base LT trim now starts at $48,800, while the RS RWD starts at $54,200.

I recently reviewed a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS AWD, which starts at $53,200, with an as-tested price of $57,215. I was impressed by the Blazer EV's aggressive styling, roomy cabin, smooth ride, and massive high-definition touchscreen.
