2025 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV SS: IS IT REALLY A SUPER SPORT OR A FLOP?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is a powerful and stylish electric SUV, though its "Super Sport" designation comes with caveats. The reviewer praises its aggressive styling, particularly on the SS trim, the comfortable and unique interior with its orange accents, and the impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in as little as 3.1 seconds. The spacious interior, quiet cabin, and advanced Super Cruise system are also highlighted as positives. However, significant criticisms include the vehicle's substantial weight, which leads to a noticeable "jiggle" when coming to a stop, a flaw not present in competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The infotainment system is a major disappointment, lacking Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a clunky built-in navigation and voice command system. Charging speed is also noted as being slower than expected for its battery size, and the power charge door is excessively slow. While the SS trim offers a thrilling driving experience, the reviewer suggests that for the price, competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (especially the N model) offer a more complete package, making the Blazer EV SS a compromise for GM loyalists seeking modern EV amenities.
