Ford Mustang Mach-E vs Chevrolet Blazer RS: Electric SUV Showdown

In this electrifying showdown, MotorTrend Channel pits the Ford Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 Edition against the Chevrolet Blazer RS. These two electric SUVs are vying to replace the traditional family sedan, and it's time to find out which one reigns supreme. The Mustang Mach-E, with its controversial decision to adopt the Mustang name, is all about looking sporty and aggressive. Its angry face and teeth-shaped headlights certainly make a statement, but the lack of traditional door handles is a strange choice. On the other hand, the Blazer RS boasts a futuristic Mars Rover look, complete with a smoked plastic grill and functional air vents. Its 21-inch wheels add to the overall cool factor.

Moving inside, the Blazer RS impresses with its spaciousness, feeling even bigger than a Chevy Tahoe. The advantage of EVs is evident here, as the powertrain allows for excellent packaging, resulting in a massive amount of interior space and storage. However, the Mustang Mach-E falls short in terms of interior roominess, with noticeably less space than its rival. The screen in the Mustang Mach-E is a mixed bag, with a lot of screen real estate but a tacked-on appearance that doesn't quite fit in with the industry's move towards integrated horizontal screens. While both interiors have their quirks, the Blazer RS takes the lead with its superior interior space.

When it comes to performance, the Blazer RS may not be the fastest EV on the block, but it makes up for it with a smooth ride quality. Thanks to GM's ultium platform, the Blazer RS offers excellent handling and body control, even with its large 21-inch wheels. On the other hand, the Mustang Mach-E takes the performance crown with its impressive acceleration, powerful engine, and superior cornering abilities. It's a true delight for those seeking a sporty driving experience. However, the Mustang Mach-E's tires leave something to be desired, as they fail to deliver the tire squeal enthusiasts crave.

In the end, the Blazer RS emerges victorious in this MotorTrend comparison test. While the Mustang Mach-E excels in terms of performance, the Blazer RS wins with its better looks, nicer interior, superior ride quality, and ample interior space. In this segment, where these vehicles are replacing the midsize family sedan, these factors are what truly matter. The Blazer RS proves that it's not just about performance, but about providing a comfortable and spacious ride for the whole family.
