I currently lease a 2024 Blazer RS RWD. EPA range is 324 miles, and GM stated HP is 340. The 2025 version of this vehicle is rated for 334 miles, and 365hp.

My question: Is there an actual physical difference in the motor or other component between the two model years? I can't find a part number for the motor online so I can't compare year of year. I'm willing to believe that these are software and/or testing based differences, but I'd like to know whether I should look for a 2025 when my lease is up, or whether the 2024 is the same vehicle.

Hi all, I currently lease a 2024 Blazer RS RWD. The lease is up soon, and I'm looking to buy late model used, either a 2025 Blazer RWD or a Mach-E Premium RWD with the big battery. Less worried about the price than I am getting something I'm going to be reasonably happy with until off-lease iX3s, Polestar 3s, and Volvo EX60s start hitting the market in 4-5 years.

Right now, I like the Blazer for the range, and slightly faster charging speed. While we charge at home most of the time, we do roadtrip to Boston and DC regularly to see our kids.

However, the Blazer really does drive like a boat; it's wide, with very slow steering. Piloting in parking lots is annoying. The Blazer also does not have Android Auto, which is not a deal breaker but I kinda would at least like the option.

If I go Mach-E I think I should stick to 2025+ because of the heat pump, right? NJ can get cold in the winter...The blazer did ok because of the heat pump while my wife's ID.4 took a major range nosedive. Any other thoughts/considerations? I'm grateful for any input.
