2025 CHEVROLET BLAZER EV SS REVIEW: 615HP, 3.3S 0-60

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS aims to blend electrifying straight-line performance with everyday usability, but the review highlights a significant dichotomy. While its 615 horsepower and 3.4-second 0-60 mph time are genuinely impressive and repeatable, the vehicle's substantial 5,700 lb curb weight and physics ultimately limit its true performance crossover aspirations. The reviewer praises the "Wide Open Watts" mode for its potent acceleration, the responsive throttle mapping, and the effective dual-motor AWD system with a rear-wheel bias. However, the handling is described as lacking steering feedback, and the brake-by-wire system offers minimal feel, despite strong stopping power. Ride quality is firm, prioritizing performance over comfort, and the vehicle's mass can overwhelm the tires in low-grip situations. The infotainment system, running Android Automotive OS, is functional but notably omits Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Owner feedback indicates software quirks persist, though real-world range often exceeds estimates and the generous ground clearance is a distinct advantage. Ultimately, while the Blazer EV SS offers thrilling acceleration and a comfortable interior, it falls short of being a true performance vehicle, with the SS badge signifying more potential than realized dynamic capability.
