Talking Cars 436: Chevrolet Blazer EV Woes
We share our early concerns with Chevy’s latest electric SUV and help you know when it's time to trade in an old car
Main theme: Like many other people, CR’s testers have had some problems with the Chevrolet Blazer EV purchased for our program. In addition to the software bugs that led GM to issue a stop sale on the new vehicle, we have complaints about the design, handling, and user interface.
Our panelists discuss what the Blazer’s bumpy debut means for GM’s new Ultium EV platform and what the automaker got right.
Read our Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq first drives.
