In this matchup, the Chevrolet Blazer EV delivers noticeably stronger performance than the Hyundai IONIQ 5. Here is what you can expect from each vehicle on the roads of St. Charles:
The Blazer EV comes equipped with an 85-kWh battery, providing a solid balance of power and range for everyday driving in St. Louis. For drivers who want maximum performance, the Blazer EV SS stands clearly above the competition with a larger 102-kWh battery, dual-motor AWD, and an impressive 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque with Wide Open Watts mode engaged.
While the IONIQ 5 delivers smooth, responsive performance, its power output is significantly lower than that of the Blazer EV—especially when compared to the Blazer EV SS. Even with the available 85-kWh battery and dual-motor AWD, the IONIQ 5 tops out at 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque.
Range and charging play a major role in daily EV ownership, and the Chevy Blazer EV holds a clear advantage in this area—particularly in its base configuration.
The Blazer EV delivers strong range across its lineup, even before stepping up to higher trim levels:
When it is time to recharge, the Blazer EV supports DC fast charging, allowing drivers to add significant range in a short stop. Its Ultium platform is designed to make road trips and daily charging both convenient and efficient.
The IONIQ 5 offers a competitive range in select trims, but its base model falls well short of the Blazer EV:
The IONIQ 5 features an 800V charging system that enables DC fast charging. However, its shorter base range means drivers may need to stop more frequently on longer trips.
The 2026 Chevy Blazer EV provides a more confident base driving range of up to 312 miles, whereas the base Hyundai IONIQ 5 starts at 245 miles. Both EVs offer excellent fast-charging capabilities for longer road trips.
The Blazer EV and IONIQ 5 both include a host of standard features to make your drives more enjoyable, including smartphone integration and advanced driver-assist technology. However, the Blazer EV goes above and beyond by offering standard HD Surround Vision and a 17.7-inch infotainment display.
The IONIQ 5 comes with a 12.3-inch display and offers a Surround View Monitor only on select upper-level trims, making advanced visibility features less accessible than in the Blazer EV.
While both EVs bring unique strengths to the table, the Blazer EV is the preferred choice for many drivers in St. Peters due to its impressive power, standard range, and more accessible premium features.
