With its standard Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, the Toyota bZ4X is better at preventing collisions with pedestrians than the Chevrolet Blazer EV, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

	bZ4X	Blazer EV
Overall Evaluation	GOOD	ACCEPTABLE
	Crossing Child - DAY
12 MPH	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
25 MPH	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
	Crossing Adult - NIGHT
12 MPH Brights	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
12 MPH Low beams	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
	Parallel Adult - NIGHT
25 MPH Brights	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
25 MPH Low beams	AVOIDED	AVOIDED
37 MPH Brights	AVOIDED	-19 MPH
Warning Issued-Brights	2.3 sec	2 sec
37 MPH Low beams	AVOIDED	-19 MPH
Warning Issued-Low beams	2.1 sec	1.7 sec

The bZ4X has a standard Secondary Collision Brake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Blazer EV doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the bZ4X AWD’s standard Downhill Assist Control allows you to creep down safely. The Blazer EV doesn’t offer Downhill Assist Control.

Both the bZ4X and the Blazer EV have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger 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 and available around view monitors.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Toyota bZ4X is safer than the Chevrolet Blazer EV:

	bZ4X	Blazer EV
	Passenger
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
HIC	227	280
Chest Compression	.5 inches	.6 inches
Neck Compression	25 lbs.	74 lbs.

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

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does side impact tests on new vehicles. In this test, which crashes the vehicle into a flat barrier at 38.5 MPH and into a post at 20 MPH, results indicate that the Toyota bZ4X is safer than the Chevrolet Blazer EV:

	bZ4X	Blazer EV
	Front Seat
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
Chest Movement	.4 inches	.8 inches
Abdominal Force	86 lbs.	129 lbs.
	Into Pole
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
HIC	315	319

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

The Toyota bZ4X has achieved the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest rating of “Top Safety Pick Plus” for the 2025 model year. This distinction is based on its exceptional performance in IIHS’ rigorous battery of safety tests. Specifically, it earned a “Good” rating in the latest, more stringent moderate overlap front crash test, a “Good” result in the updated side impact test, and a “Good” score in the revised pedestrian crash prevention test. The Blazer EV has not yet been fully evaluated by the IIHS for 2025.

Warranty

The bZ4X’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Blazer EV’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the bZ4X for 2 years and 25000 miles. Toyota will pay for tire rotations, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Chevrolet only pays for the first scheduled maintenance visit on the Blazer EV.

Reliability

A reliable vehicle saves its owner time, money and trouble. Nobody wants to be stranded or have to be without a vehicle while it’s being repaired. Consumer Reports rates the bZ4X’s reliability 33 points higher than the Blazer EV.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2024 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the statistics that show that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Chevrolet vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Toyota second in reliability, above the industry average. With 27 more problems per 100 vehicles, Chevrolet is ranked fourth.

From surveys of all its subscribers, Consumer Reports’ March 2025 Auto Issue reports that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Chevrolet vehicles. Consumer Reports ranks Toyota third in overall reliability. Chevrolet is ranked 16th.

Fuel Economy and Range

On the EPA test cycle the bZ4X gets better mileage than the Blazer EV:

			MPGe
bZ4X
	FWD	XLE Electric Motor	131 city/107 hwy
		Limited Electric Motor	121 city/102 hwy
	AWD	XLE Electric Motors	114 city/94 hwy
		Limited/Nightshade Electric Motors	112 city/92 hwy
Blazer EV
	AWD	Electric Motors	102 city/87 hwy

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the bZ4X’s standard front brake rotors are larger than those on the Blazer EV:

	bZ4X	Blazer EV
Front Rotors	12.9 inches	12.5 inches

The bZ4X’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Blazer EV are solid, not vented.

The bZ4X stops much shorter than the Blazer EV:

	bZ4X	Blazer EV
70 to 0 MPH	174 feet	190 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	125 feet	131 feet	Motor Trend

Suspension and Handling

The bZ4X Limited AWD handles at .82 G’s, while the Blazer EV RS eAWD pulls only .80 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

For greater off-road capability the bZ4X has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Blazer EV SS (8.1 vs. 7.5 inches), allowing the bZ4X to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The bZ4X’s minimum ground clearance is .2 inch higher than on the Blazer EV (8.1 vs. 7.9 inches).

Chassis

The Toyota bZ4X may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 750 to 1250 pounds less than the Chevrolet Blazer EV.

The bZ4X is 7.6 inches shorter than the Blazer EV, making the bZ4X easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

Passenger Space

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the bZ4X’s rear seats recline. The Blazer EV’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

The bZ4X has a much larger cargo volume than the Blazer EV with its rear seat up (27.7 vs. 25.5 cubic feet).

A low lift-over cargo hatch design makes loading and unloading the bZ4X easier. The bZ4X’s cargo hatch lift-over height is 27.9 inches, while the Blazer EV’s liftover is 29.5 inches.

Servicing Ease

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the bZ4X to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. Chevrolet doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the Blazer EV.

Ergonomics

The bZ4X’s front and rear power windows all open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Blazer EV’s passenger windows don’t close automatically.

If the windows are left open on the bZ4X the driver can close them all at the outside door handle. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows at the outside door handle or from a distance using the keyless remote. (This window function must be activated by your Toyota service department.) The driver of the Blazer EV can only close the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The bZ4X’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Blazer EV’s standard manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

The bZ4X’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Chevrolet charges extra for heated mirrors on the Blazer EV.

The bZ4X has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning is only available on the Blazer EV RS/SS.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Toyota bZ4X has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Blazer EV.
