2025 CHEVY BLAZER EV SS FIRST DRIVE - IS THIS A MODEL Y PERFORMANCE KILLER?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS delivers an impressive performance package, boasting 615 horsepower and all-wheel drive, making it a significant step up from previous Blazer EV iterations. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's aggressive styling, comfortable interior with striking Adrenaline Red Evo seats, and a suite of convenience features. While the lack of a frunk is noted, the reviewer appreciates the easy access to under-hood components. The driving experience is praised for its quiet cabin, smooth ride, and significantly improved steering responsiveness compared to other Chevy EVs, feeling more connected and less disconnected. The "Wide Open Watts" mode provides a substantial power boost, delivering exhilarating acceleration. However, the reviewer points out minor drawbacks, including a preference for a different graphic style for the infotainment system (though acknowledging its functionality), the limitation of Super Cruise to pre-mapped highways, and a desire for better camera quality and full-screen display options. Despite these nitpicks, the overall verdict is highly positive, deeming the Blazer EV SS an excellent and fun-to-drive vehicle for its price point, especially for performance enthusiasts.
