PLENTY OF POWER

Several powertrains are offered on the 2025 Blazer EV.

All-wheel drive versions of the Blazer EV come with a dual motor setup, an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery, and deliver a solid 300 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque, and solid 0-to-60 speed in just over 6 seconds.

The rear-wheel drive version of the Blazer EV features a single motor, a 102 kWh battery, and output of 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The 0-to-60 speed dips into the high 5-second range.

And last but not least, the truly powerful SS trim offers 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, and a 0-to-60 speed in the mid 3-second range. That’s nothing to sneeze at, and it can go toe-to-toe with top performance EV rivals.

The Blazer I drove was an AWD model and it delivered — with strong performance, an agile ride and a quiet, smooth and comfortable experience behind the wheel. Its performance holds up well in the electric midsize SUV segment. Drive modes offered include Normal, Sport, Snow/Ice and My Mode (custom), and it’s rated for towing up to 3,500 pounds.

HUGE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN, SUPER CRUISE

The tech feature that dominates the Blazer EV is its massive infotainment screen, which clocks in at 17.7 inches — making it one of the largest screens in the automotive industry.

The Blazer’s excellent voice commands work accurately. And the rest of the controls are on the large touchscreen — including Drive Modes, Audio and much more. The touchscreen commands are easy to master, but some people may wish there were more physical controls to simplify the process.

Maps are powered by Google, and you get a Google voice assistant at your disposal.

One interesting note is that unlike most rivals, the Blazer EV is not compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for phone mirroring.

Moving on to safety, a few features stand out.

First, the Surround View camera system was extremely helpful and clear. Also the Blazer’s seat will buzz when a vehicle is next to you to warn you against changing lanes. And then there’s Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free self-driving system which is highly effective, and part of the reason this vehicle gets a 5-star safety rating.

Other safety features include:

— Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
— Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
— Adaptive cruise control
— Rear automatic braking when an object is behind you

SOLID EV RANGE

The Chevy Blazer EV has a maximum rating of 95 MPGe, with city and highway ratings of 102 and 87. These are decent numbers, but are behind rivals such as the Honda Prologue, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Tesla Model Y.

In terms of range, which is arguably the most important measure of any EV offering, your distance will depend on the version you choose.

The farthest range is an impressive 334 miles from the RS rear-wheel drive option, while the RS all-wheel drive and LT all-wheel drive options deliver 283 miles of range. The performance SS model gives you 303 miles of range.

The top number is impressive compared to most electric SUV rivals, and even the lowest number is still solid and knocking on the 300 mile mark. Be aware though that colder weather can impact range and cut down those numbers.

Charging can be done overnight with a Level 2 charger, or much quicker with public DC Fast Chargers (80 percent change in 30 minutes). And if you charge at home, the costs for electric fuel are about one-third of what you would have spent on dinosaur fuel.

PRICY VEHICLE, BUT TAX CREDIT ELIGIBLE

For a non-luxury vehicle, the price range on the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV seems a bit high — starting out at around $46K for the base trim and going up to $62K for the top SS trim offering.

But thankfully, the Blazer EV is eligible for the federal tax credit of $7,500, which will soften the blow and make the price more reasonable.

And it must be noted that the issue of high cost of EV ownership isn’t unique to Chevy, as rival electric SUVS are also on the pricier side and close to the Blazer EV’s price range.

Warranty coverage on the 2025 Blazer EV is decent, including:
— 3 years/36,000 mile overall warranty
— 5 years/60,000 mile powertrain warranty
— 8 years/100,000 mile EV battery warranty
