This outcome is notably influenced by five distinct recall campaigns and a low sub-score in avoidance technology. These factors collectively prevent the vehicle from achieving a higher safety standing, indicating a reasonable but not exemplary safety profile for the model year.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV?
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV received 5 out of 5 stars in overall, frontal, and side crash protection ratings from NHTSA, contributing to a strong crash-protection sub-score of 66 out of 70. This performance anchors the vehicle's safety profile. However, the 4-star rollover rating, with an 11 percent risk, presents a notable limitation in passive safety. The vehicle's avoidance-tech sub-score of 2 out of 10 significantly impacts its overall Safety Index, indicating that advanced crash avoidance systems, despite the presence of forward collision warning and lane departure warning, are not standard across all configurations. The defect-record sub-score of 9 out of 20 reflects the impact of five recall campaigns, a substantial figure for a new model year. Two of these recalls address issues with the parking brake system, while another targets a structural concern in the right front suspension. A multi-platform electrical wiring issue is also among the recalls. The 2024 Blazer EV has accumulated 76 alleged owner complaints. These factors combine to place the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV within the 77/100 Average Safety Index band.
