Lexus GX vs Chevrolet Blazer EV

The Lexus GX midsize SUV seats up to seven people, tows just over 4,000 kilograms (9,000 pounds) when properly equipped, can hold 2,178 litres of cargo, and easily travels where few vehicles dare to tread. The 2026 GX 550 has available Premium, Overtrail, Luxury, Overtrail+, and Executive packages, each equipped with a twin-turbocharged V6 engine and standard four-wheel drive (4WD). For 2026, Canadian GX models now have the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 Extended suite as standard equipment.

Verdict: Poor fuel economy aside, the GX is a good luxury SUV designed for serious off-roading and towing. For those who require neither, the Lexus RX is a better pick.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV is a sporty counterpoint to the more affordable Equinox EV. It has more eye-catching style and the performance to back it up, too. This gives new-car shoppers more options at Chevy showrooms.

Verdict: Although the Blazer EV offers sportier styling, it doesn’t offer any clear advantages in range or interior space over its competing stablemate, the Equinox EV.
