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 Volvo EX60 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 Volvo EX60 doesn’t offer a camera washer, requiring manual cleaning.

Both the Blazer EV and the EX60 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front 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, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning, available front parking sensors and driver alert monitors.

Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Blazer EV 1 year and 10,000 miles longer than Volvo covers the EX60. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the EX60 ends after only 4 years or 50,000 miles.

There are over 10 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Volvo dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Blazer EV’s warranty.

On the EPA test cycle the Blazer EV gets better mileage than the EX60:

For better stopping power the Blazer EV SS’ brake rotors are larger than those on the EX60:

For better traction, the Blazer EV has larger standard tires than the EX60 (255/60R19 vs. 235/55R20). The Blazer EV RS’ tires are larger than the largest tires available on the EX60 (275/45R21 vs. 255/45R21).

The Blazer EV’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the EX60’s optional 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Blazer EV offers optional 22-inch wheels. The EX60’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 Volvo EX60 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 EX60 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 EX60 doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Blazer EV’s wheelbase is 4.9 inches longer than on the EX60 (121.8 inches vs. 116.9 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Blazer EV is .7 inches wider in the front and 1.3 inches wider in the rear than on the EX60.

For greater off-road capability the Blazer EV SS has a greater minimum ground clearance than the EX60 (7.5 vs. 7 inches), allowing the Blazer EV to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

The Blazer EV has 2.5 inches more front legroom, 1.8 inches more front hip room, 2.1 inches more front shoulder room, 1.5 inches more rear legroom, .7 inches more rear hip room and 4.2 inches more rear shoulder room than the EX60.

The Blazer EV has a much larger cargo volume than the EX60 with its rear seat up (25.5 vs. 18.5 cubic feet).

The Blazer EV RS/SS’ standard easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The EX60 doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Blazer EV (except LT) offers an available heads-up display that projects speed, navigation instruction and driver assistance information readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The EX60 doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

On a hot day the Blazer EV’s driver can lower all the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the EX60 can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The Blazer EV’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The EX60’s power mirror controls are embedded in the infotainment system, seriously distracting drivers who have to adjust them while driving.

When the Blazer EV RS/SS is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions. The EX60’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust for backing.

Compared to the Volvo EX60, the Chevrolet Blazer EV RS/SS eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries with its standard integrated Homelink® universal remote controlled from the infotainment system.

Motor Trend selected the Blazer EV as their 2024 Sport Utility of the Year. The EX60 has never been chosen.

The Chevrolet Blazer outsold the Volvo EX60/XC60 by 68% during 2025.
