REVIEW: 2025 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV SS - WORTHY OF THE SS BADGE?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS delivers impressive straight-line performance, boasting 615 horsepower and a 3.4-second 0-60 mph time, making it the most affordable vehicle with over 600 horsepower. The exterior styling is aggressive and stands out, particularly with the standard black roof and 22-inch wheels. Inside, the cabin is spacious and comfortable, with notable improvements like a percentage-based battery gauge and the addition of video streaming capabilities while parked. However, the interior design and seats lack the sportier feel expected of an SS model, with unsupportive seats and no option for sportier variants. A significant drawback is the complete absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a major disappointment for many users. While the ride quality is commendably smooth for a performance EV, its handling is more cruiser-oriented than track-focused, feeling its weight in tighter corners compared to more agile competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5N and Kia EV6 GT. The Blazer EV SS excels in range, offering 303 miles, and features the industry-leading Super Cruise system as standard. Despite its performance and range advantages, the lack of smartphone integration and less engaging handling prevent it from being the top pick in its segment, though it offers strong value for those prioritizing straight-line speed and highway cruising.
