About the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer

With an overall Carivo score of 7.5/10, the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer earns a Recommended rating among the suvs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.4/10, while Reliability at 7.0/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability comes in at 7.0/10 in our assessment — above the middle of the pack for this class, though not flawless. On safety it earns 8.4/10: respectable, if not class-leading — several competitors bundle more driver-assist tech as standard. Check your trim's official ratings at nhtsa.gov.

Performance lands mid-pack at 7.2/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology comes in at 7.3/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.

Priced from $37,995–$49,478, 25 MPG, seating 5, the Chevrolet Blazer sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. Value lands at 7.6/10 — you get what you pay for, no more and no less, with a few rivals offering slightly better per-dollar returns. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.

Bottom line: Think of the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
