Chevrolet Blazer EV Safety
NHTSA safety across every Chevrolet Blazer EV model year we cover.
Across the 2 model years of the Chevrolet Blazer EV we cover (2024 to 2025), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2025 at 88 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2024 at 77. 8 recalls have been issued across those years.
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, a midsize electric SUV, has not yet been rated by NHTSA. Chevrolet's new electric vehicle has no overall NHTSA star rating, nor are there any crash-test results available for frontal or side impact. Its rollover resistance has also not been assessed, showing no percentage risk. There are currently no recalls issued for the 2024 Blazer EV, and NHTSA has logged no owner complaints. This Safety Index is provisional, pending the release of comprehensive federal safety data.
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV achieves a 5 out of 5-star rating in both frontal and side impact crash tests, the highest marks available from federal regulators. This strong performance in core collision scenarios anchors its overall NHTSA Safety Index at 88 out of 100. Its 4-star rollover rating, while not uncommon for an SUV, is a factor in the overall score. The ownership data presents a more complex safety profile. The Blazer EV has accumulated 8 recalls across its 2024 and 2025 model years. This number is high for a vehicle in its initial production run and points to the challenges of launching a new electric platform. Prospective buyers must ensure all applicable recalls have been resolved. Further, 93 owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, including 30 reports of alleged injuries. These unverified allegations, reported within a brief production window, necessitate careful consideration. The Blazer EV demonstrates robust crash protection, but its recall and complaint history demands thorough pre-purchase due diligence.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the Blazer EV for its sharp styling, strong acceleration, and well-equipped interior, positioning it as one of the more driver-focused entries in the electric midsize SUV class. Most acknowledge that early software and quality concerns tempered initial enthusiasm, and the consensus is that later production examples represent a more refined ownership proposition.
- The 2025 Blazer EV achieves a top NHTSA Safety Index of 88 out of 100, backed by 5-star frontal and side crash results, placing it among the better-performing vehicles in its class on formal federal tests.
- Eight recalls across just two model years is an elevated figure for a relatively new nameplate. Always run the VIN through the NHTSA recall database and confirm all open recalls are resolved before purchase.
- NHTSA has received 93 owner complaints across the covered model years, with 30 alleging injuries. These are unverified allegations, but the volume for such a new model is worth monitoring as the platform matures.
- The 4-star rollover rating is the one area where the Blazer EV falls short of a clean sweep. This is common for taller SUVs, but buyers who prioritize rollover safety should factor it into their comparison against lower-riding crossover alternatives.
