Blazer EV Wins Wards Interior Design Award

Because we immediately see automobile exteriors, they often get the most attention. Even when it comes to our own cars, exterior styling is often seen as how we look to others. How it looks in the driveway, what it says about us when people we know see what we drive. On the other hand, interior styling is not about how others see us. It is about how we feel about the car as we are using it. Opinions about our car’s interior are strictly for ourselves and those we allow in the car with us. That is unless you’re an automotive organization that judges vehicle interiors. Each year, Wards draws up an awards list of ten vehicles that deliver incredible design and a great user experience.  Barry’s Chevrolet is pleased to announce that the Chevrolet Blazer EV earned one of ten coveted spots on the 2024 Wards 10 Best Interiors and UX list.

The competition consists of new or significantly redesigned models. Wards judges the interiors based on various metrics, including design and aesthetics, comfort, materials, fit-and-finish, connectivity, ease of infotainment use, and more.

“The Blazer EV’s main display screen rivals those in luxury brand models with its great resolution and clarity. Its cabin is packed with lots of unique trim and design elements, surrounded by stunning color schemes,” said Wards judge Christie Schweinsberg.

“Eye-popping red accents and oh-so-sporty radial air vents are just the starting points for the Blazer EV, which features lightning-quick Google-based voice controls backed by a bevy of proper knobs and switches to manage the most-used functions,” said Wards judge Bob Gritzinger.

One look at the Blazer EV interior, and you will immediately understand. The 17-inch center touchscreen could overwhelm but is instead fully integrated into the design. The round HVAC vents are intricately detailed. The steering wheel spokes, physical controls, cup holders, and other interior sections are all delineated by bright trim. The 11-inch driver’s information center is bright, easily read, and fits in with the rest of the vehicle’s styling. Plus, the red and black two-tone interior on the RS is really striking. 

“We are honored to see the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV recognized for this award,” said Phil Zak, Executive Design Director of Chevrolet. “Our designers worked hard to elevate the exterior and interior design of the Blazer EV but maintain its true functionality. This award shows we are offering a great experience to our customers.”

All 2024 Blazer EVs qualify for the entire federal $7,500 consumer tax credit, which can be redeemed at the point of purchase and even used as part of the down payment. The currently available LT and RS trims are very unusual by being available in front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive configurations. With rear-wheel drive, the Blazer EV has an EPA-certified range estimate of 324 miles on a full charge. The AWD model is rated at 279 miles of range and has a 103 city / 88 highway MPGe rating.

An equally dynamic exterior matches the Blazer EV’s acclaimed interior because we all have at least a little show-off within us. Visit Barry’s Chevrolet in West Union, OH, and try out the award-winning Blazer EV for yourself.
