Yahoo Autos 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS arrival pushed to next year
Deliveries of the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS were meant to commence this fall, following the launches of the 2LT and RS trims that start finding good homes in the next couple of months. Plans have changed. GM Authority noticed Chevy updated its retail site with the small print, "Blazer EV SS shown available spring 2024." The automaker hasn't given a reason for the delay. The SS trim will top the range when it arrives, its two Ultium motors making 557 horsepower and 648 pound-feet of torque. That output is said to return a 0-60 mph time under 4 seconds when the CUV's put into Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode. The SS also gets larger Brembo brakes in front, a "track-tuned" suspension, and standard summer performance tires wrapping 22-inch wheels — all-season tires will be optional. Range for the SS is estimated at 290 miles. The estimated price is $65,595 after destination.
The 2LT coming first starts with front-wheel drive and can be optioned to dual-motor all-wheel-drive, albeit with a less powerful and less fancy AWD than the SS. The 2LT can be had with a medium size battery pack that maxes out at an estimated 293 miles of range. A base 2LT model will be about $47,595 when it launches.
