The C-HR 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.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the C-HR. But it costs extra on the Blazer EV.

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

Both the C-HR 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 C-HR’s corrosion warranty is unlimited miles longer than the Blazer EV’s (unlimited vs. 100,000 miles).

Toyota pays for scheduled maintenance on the C-HR 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.

Power ranks Toyota fourth in reliability, above the industry average. With 7 more problems per 100 vehicles, Chevrolet is ranked fifth.

From surveys of all its subscribers, Consumer Reports’ March 2026 Auto Issue reports that Toyota vehicles are more reliable than Chevrolet vehicles. Consumer Reports ranks Toyota first in overall reliability. Chevrolet is ranked 17th.

The C-HR’s electric motors produces 118 more horsepower (338 vs. 220) than the Blazer EV’s standard electric motor. The C-HR’s electric motors produces 38 more horsepower (338 vs. 300) than the Blazer EV’s optional electric motors.

		SS Electric Motors	92 city/77 hwy

The C-HR SE can travel longer on a full charge than the Blazer EV (287 miles vs. 283 miles).

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

	C-HR	Blazer EV
Front Rotors	12.9 inches	12.5 inches

The C-HR’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 C-HR stops shorter than the Blazer EV:

	C-HR	Blazer EV
60 to 0 MPH	124 feet	131 feet	Motor Trend

The C-HR’s front to rear weight distribution is more even (53% to 47%) than the Blazer EV’s (55% to 45%). This gives the C-HR more stable handling and braking.

The C-HR XSE executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Blazer EV RS eAWD (26.7 seconds @ .71 average G’s vs. 27.4 seconds @ .63 average G’s).

For better maneuverability, the C-HR’s turning circle is 3.7 feet tighter than the Blazer EV’s (36 feet vs. 39.7 feet).

For greater off-road capability the C-HR has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Blazer EV SS (8 vs. 7.5 inches), allowing the C-HR to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The C-HR’s minimum ground clearance is .1 inch higher than on the Blazer EV (8 vs. 7.9 inches).

The Toyota C-HR may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 700 to 1350 pounds less than the Chevrolet Blazer EV.

The C-HR is 1 foot, 2.3 inches shorter than the Blazer EV, making the C-HR easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

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

The C-HR has a larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the Blazer EV with its rear seat folded (59.5 vs. 59.1 cubic feet).

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the C-HR 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.

The C-HR’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Blazer EV’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to open them fully. Only its driver’s window closes automatically.

If the windows are left open on the C-HR the driver can close all of them 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 C-HR’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.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The C-HR XSE offers available headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Blazer EV doesn’t offer headlight washers.

The C-HR’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 Toyota C-HR has power folding mirrors that offer unparalleled convenience while maneuvering in tight places or parked. With the mirrors folded it’s easier to walk past and help prevent parking damage. The mirrors can be quickly unfolded when the driver is ready to leave. Power folding mirrors costs extra on the Blazer EV.

The C-HR has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the vehicle heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the Blazer EV.

The C-HR 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 C-HR has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console for two separate devices. Wireless charging costs extra on the Blazer EV, and only charges one device.
