ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer?
The 2024 Chevrolet Blazer's Safety Index of 84/100, identical to the 2023 model, reflects consistent crash protection but highlights significant concerns in avoidance technology. A robust crash-protection sub-score of 66 out of 70 is derived from its overall NHTSA rating, with perfect frontal and side impact scores. However, the avoidance technology sub-score of 2 out of 10 constrained any improvement, a direct result of the inconsistent listing of forward collision warning and lane departure warning as both standard and optional across different configurations. This inconsistency introduces uncertainty into their effective coverage. The defect record sub-score stands at 15.5 out of 20, influenced by one recall campaign concerning door-striker fracture risk, a recall also affecting three other GM models. Among the 36 NHTSA owner complaints, 9 are unverified reports regarding Forward Collision Avoidance. The convergence of a low avoidance-tech score and its prominence in owner complaints represents the most significant safety concern for the 2024 Blazer.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer perform in crash tests?
