While it’s currently a time of tumult for the EV marketplace, and many automakers are re-imagining their strategy in the EV realm, some automakers remain committed to this transition.

Among its EV lineup, GM is in the second year of offering the Chevrolet Blazer EV, and I was recently able to get behind the wheel of a 2025 Blazer EV to see how the midsize SUV offering holds up in the EV landscape.

Below are 5 key things you need to know about the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV — which takes on heavy electric SUV competition from Tesla, Kia, Honda and others.

BOLD DESIGN, ROOMY INTERIOR

The exterior design of the Blazer EV is bold in nature, front its standout grille to its eye-catching wheel designs. Speaking of wheels, sizes available to buyers range from 19 inches to 22 inches.

The Blazer EV walks the line between trying to look rugged while still maintaining a sleek side, and its design stands out in the current class of electric SUVs.

The only downside relating to the design is that the view out of the rear is a bit compromised due to a small rear window.

Moving inside, the 2025 Blazer EV features an extremely roomy interior for its class, and comfortable, high-class seats for all 5 passengers. Overall quality of interior materials is solid.

If you use the Blazer EV’s seat warmers, you’ll find they get things heated up quite quickly, and the dashboard design and tech setup is among the most attractive you’ll find in the segment.

Cargo space clocks in at 25.5 cubic feet with rear seats up, and 59.1 cubic feet with those seats folded down. These are competitive numbers in the segment but fall below capacity of some rival EVs.

As the number of EV models grows, with dozens of launches expected every year, different models will be embraced by different target groups.

The luxury side of the EV market is especially competitive, but one brand taking the fight to that sector with full force is Genesis, the luxury brand launched by Hyundai several years ago.

Well-established already as a respected luxury competitor on the ICE side of things, Genesis is fully embracing the transition to EVs, and the first salvo in that transition was their launch of the 2023 Genesis GV60, a compact luxury crossover that features a cutting edge design and technology and puts the competition on notice — and that competition is not shabby, including the Volvo XC40 Recharge and Tesla Model Y.

I recently tested a 2023 Genesis GV60, and I’m back with a full report on how it holds up in the competitive EV market — and how Genesis is doing its part to push forward key technological advances that will change the way we drive.
