The Chevrolet Blazer EV has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The GV60 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Chevrolet Blazer EV achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - for its performance in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, demonstrating its excellent capabilities in preventing collisions. The Genesis GV60 has not been tested.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV comes with a standard HD Surround Vision and it also offers an optional rear camera washer to make backing always safe, regardless of road dirt or grime, while the Genesis GV60 doesn’t offer a camera washer, requiring manual cleaning.

Both the Blazer EV and the GV60 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, available front parking sensors and driver alert monitors.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Chevrolet Blazer EV is safer than the Genesis GV60:

	Blazer EV	GV60
OVERALL STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

Warranty

There are over 13 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Genesis dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Blazer EV’s warranty.

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2025 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Chevrolet vehicles are better in initial quality than Genesis vehicles. J.D.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2025 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Chevrolet vehicles are more reliable than Genesis vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Chevrolet above average in long-term dependability. With 33 more problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership, Genesis is rated below average.

	Horsepower	Torque
Blazer EV electric motors	300 HP	355 lbs.-ft.
Blazer EV SS electric motors	615 HP	650 lbs.-ft.
GV60 electric motor	225 HP	258 lbs.-ft.
GV60 Standard AWD/Advanced electric motors	314 HP	446 lbs.-ft.

	Blazer EV SS	GV60	GV60 Performance
Front Rotors	15.3 inches	13.6 inches	14.2 inches

The Blazer EV stops much shorter than the GV60:

	Blazer EV	GV60

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Blazer EV has larger standard tires than the GV60 (255/60R19 vs. 235/55R19). The Blazer EV RS’ tires are larger than the largest tires available on the GV60 (275/45R21 vs. 255/45R20).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Blazer EV offers optional 22-inch wheels. The GV60’s largest wheels are only 21-inches.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s wheels have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Genesis GV60 only has 5 wheel lugs per wheel.

The Blazer EV has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The GV60 doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires available on the Blazer EV can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The GV60 doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Blazer EV’s wheelbase is 7.6 inches longer than on the GV60 (121.8 inches vs. 114.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Blazer EV is 1.5 inches wider in the front and 1.7 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the GV60.

The Blazer EV SS handles at .89 G’s, while the GV60 Performance pulls only .83 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

Passenger Space

The Blazer EV has 1.9 inches more front headroom, 1.9 inches more front legroom, 1.2 inches more front shoulder room, 1.3 inches more rear legroom and 2.4 inches more rear shoulder room than the GV60.

Cargo Capacity

The Blazer EV has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the GV60 with its rear seat up (25.5 vs. 24 cubic feet). The Blazer EV has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the GV60 with its rear seat folded (59.1 vs. 54.7 cubic feet).

Ergonomics

The Blazer EV’s standard Keyless Access allow you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, unlock the cargo door, and start the vehicle, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Proximity Key standard on the GV60 doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Blazer EV has a standard rear wiper. The GV60 doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

Recommendations

Motor Trend selected the Blazer EV as their 2024 Sport Utility of the Year. The GV60 has never been chosen.

The Chevrolet Blazer outsold the Genesis GV60 by over 23 to one during 2024.
