THE 2025 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV SS IS A TOTAL GYM BRO

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is presented as the highest-performance, muscle-car-inspired variant of the Blazer EV. While it boasts impressive power figures (615 hp, 881 Nm torque) and strong acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds) thanks to its AWD dual-motor setup, the review suggests it's more of an "everyday driver with performance capabilities" than a true sports car. The interior is generally well-appointed, with comfortable seats and ample storage, though the reviewer notes an issue with the lumbar support adjustment and criticizes the placement of the power button. A significant drawback highlighted is the infotainment system, which lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, relying solely on a Google-based system with reportedly poor voice interaction. The exterior styling attempts a muscle car aesthetic but feels somewhat compromised. Handling is described as planted and lighter than its Acura sibling, with praise for the "regen on demand" paddle and single-pedal driving. However, the vehicle's overall efficiency is questioned, attributed to its large 22-inch wheels and substantial weight (2599 kg). Ultimately, while competent and livable, the Blazer EV SS is seen as lacking a "killer feature" or "soul" that would make it truly exciting or stand out in a crowded segment, especially compared to more driver-focused EVs like the Kia EV6 GT.
