Tires and Wheels
The 500e’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Blazer EV LT’s 60 series tires.
Suspension and Handling
For better maneuverability, the 500e’s turning circle is 8.2 feet tighter than the Blazer EV’s (31.5 feet vs. 39.7 feet).
Chassis
The Fiat 500e may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 2300 to 2650 pounds less than the Chevrolet Blazer EV.
The 500e is 4 feet, 1.2 inches shorter than the Blazer EV, making the 500e easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
The 500e is 12 inches narrower than the Blazer EV, making the 500e easier to handle and maneuver in traffic.
Cargo Capacity
A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the 500e easier. The 500e’s trunk lift-over height is 27.4 inches, while the Blazer EV’s liftover is 29.7 inches.
Ergonomics
The 500e’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.
To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Fiat 500e has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Wireless charging costs extra on the Blazer EV.
