Chevrolet has two electric SUVs that cater to customers who need the space and the efficiency these two vehicles offer. Both the Equinox EV and Blazer EV offer a higher level of features with superb driving range, combined with the practicality you expect in a Chevrolet.

Which one would you choose – the Blazer EV or the Equinox EV?

The Equinox is what we call a “mid-size” these days, while the Blazer EV is a bit larger. Both can carry five people comfortably.

The Equinox EV offers plenty of cargo space with excellent access from the rear using the available AutoSense liftgate. That liftgate opens up to a spacious cargo area of up to 57.2 cubic feet. The Blazer EV has even more space – up to 59.8 cubic feet with the rear seats down. 

The Equinox EV and Blazer EV are built on the Ultium platform and offer both single- and dual-motor configurations. The Blazer EV has an available 557 horsepower with Wide Open Watts on the SS model and 648 pound-feet of torque. The Equinox EV is available with up to 288 horsepower with 333 pound-feet of torque.  This configuration is available on Blazer EVs with all-wheel drive on the 2LT and RS AWD trim levels.

In terms of range, the Equinox EV can get you up to 319 miles on a single charge. The Blazer EV goes a bit further – up to 324 miles of range. 

When you travel across Southern Idaho and beyond, you can find your nearest public charging station through the MyChevrolet mobile vehicle app, which is available on both the Blazer EV and Equinox EV.  You have access to over 195,000 public chargers, and growing throughout the U.S. and Canada. You can get there without using both pedals, as One-Pedal Drivingis standard.

For entertainment and organization, the Blazer EV and Equinox EV feature a smart infotainment system based on the Google Built-in system. You will have instant access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store without having to connect your smartphone device. All of this is within reach of a 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen. 

Both the Blazer EV and Equinox EV offer Super Cruise. This system can be engaged over thousands of miles of roadways, and you can take your hands off the wheel. The Equinox EV can drive itself briefly and will inform you to get your hands back on the wheel when necessary.

What are the real differences between the Blazer EV and Equinox EV? Other than size, interior volume, and price – and the Blazer EV SS model – it all comes down to looks and price. The Equinox EV is known as “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV.” A real value if you compare it to similar EV SUVs. The Blazer EV currently holds the title of Motor Trend’s SUV of The Year for 2024.
