2025 Chevy Blazer EV: 5 Things to Know 


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.

1.
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 SUVs continues to expand in a seemingly exponential manner, it’s sometimes difficult to classify where certain vehicles compete.

One vehicle battling in a unique area that fends off competitors on multiple sides is the 2023 Buick Enclave, one of the most intriguing three-row midsize SUV offerings from the U.S. Big Three automakers.

An upscale offering from GM, the Enclave is high-brow enough to battle with names such as Volvo and Acura, but it’s simultaneously fending off competitors from brands like Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Ford, which are traditionally not viewed as luxury offerings.

It’s an introduction to the world of the more upscale SUV, without fully diving into the luxury lifestyle to keep pricing more realistic.

The 2023 Enclave sees little changes from the 2022 model, which underwent some major design and tech transformations that are carried over.

Buick’s goal with the Enclave is to deliver a strong overall vehicle — impressing through its design, tech, safety features and drive quality — that will pull potential buyers from either the lower-end or higher-end options into the seat of the Enclave.

With extensive cargo room, a smooth driving experience, and truly impressive technology offerings, it does that to a great extent.

Read on for a full breakdown on how the 2023 Enclave compares to its many competitors in this very popular vehicle segment.

Looking at the automotive sales charts, one thing becomes pretty clear — often the vehicles that sell the most are far from the most flashy. 

Such is the case with the 2023 Chevy Equinox, which is the second-best selling vehicle for Chevrolet behind only its Silverado pickup truck, and one of the top-selling small SUVs in the country.

Focused on a solid user experience, strong design and high-level tech features, the Equinox won’t be the fastest or the most head-turning model in the segment, but it’s clearly doing something right based on how the car-buying public is taking to it.

Changes to the Equinox for 2023 are minor, including a slight bump in horsepower, and updated paint scheme options.

I recently spent some time behind the week of a 2023 Chevy Equinox RS, and I’m back with a full report on how well it battles against a bevy of top competitors including Toyota’s RAV4, Honda’s CR-V and the Ford Escape.

In the automotive world, trucks rule the sales charts, nailing down positions 1-2-3 on the overall list of most-purchased vehicles year after year.

And while Ford continued to hold the overall lead with its F-Series once the final numbers for 2020 were tallied, there was an interesting development in the battle for 2nd place, with the Chevy Silverado passing RAM for 2nd place, with 594,094 Silverados sold vs. 562,676 for RAM. This is quite impressive, as the Silverado made up a significant gap from the previous year, and this battle will no doubt continue to rage into 2021 and beyond.

I recently got behind the wheel of a 2021 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab Custom Trail Boss, and I’m back with a full report on how the Silverado measures up against its competition this year.
