SHOULD YOU BUY A 2025 CHEVY BLAZER EV SS? THOROUGH REVIEW BY A MECHANIC

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is reviewed by a mechanic, who highlights its advanced thermal management system (BEV Heat 2.0) with a sophisticated six-way valve, and a high-tech heat pump HVAC system that contributes to good real-world range, estimated around 250 miles for the SS model despite its performance focus. Positives include the powerful six-piston Brembo brakes, the option for front-wheel or rear-wheel drive (in addition to AWD), a comfortable and functional interior with large screens, and a surprisingly refined ride for a performance model. However, significant drawbacks are noted: questionable build quality in cooling system plastics, a lack of a physical start button leading to a frustrating shutdown procedure, and the complete absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is seen as a major misstep for a tech-savvy audience. The reviewer also points out cosmetic issues like large panel gaps and a flimsy charge port door.
