Reviews SummaryThe Chevrolet Blazer EV is a sporty counterpoint to the more affordable Equinox EV. It has more eye-catching style and the performance to back it up, too. This gives new-car shoppers more options at Chevy showrooms. Verdict: Although the Blazer EV offers sportier styling, it doesn’t offer any clear advantages in range or interior space over its competing stablemate, the Equinox EV. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2025 Cadillac Optiq arrives as the new entry-level electric vehicle in the General Motors luxury brand’s lineup, giving Caddy a rival to the Audi Q4 e-tron, Genesis GV60, Lexus RZ, Mercedes-Benz EQB, and Volvo EX40 and new car buyers a cheaper entry point below the brand’s larger electric SUVs, such as the Cadillac Escalade IQ and the Vistiq. Verdict: The Optiq is surprising value among electric luxury SUVs. | |
