A Stylish Entry in the Electric SUV World- The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV doesn’t just ride into the EV market—it makes a bold statement. With its aggressive design, spacious two-row layout, and versatile powertrain options, it’s clear that Chevrolet aimed to create an SUV that balances practicality with panache. Whether you’re after long-range comfort or pulse-quickening performance, there’s a Blazer EV for you.
New 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV
Chevrolet has expanded the Blazer EV lineup with additional configurations and exciting upgrades:
- Performance-Oriented SS Model: Boasts a staggering 595 horsepower and all-wheel drive.
- LT Enhancements: New 21-inch wheel options, contrasting roof colors, and a Midnight/Sport Edition package featuring black accents.
- Updated Tech and Safety: Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist is now optional when paired with GM’s Super Cruise.
Pricing starts at $45,995 for the LT trim and climbs to $61,995 for the powerhouse SS.
Performance and Powertrain Options
Chevy’s Blazer EV lineup offers a dizzying array of configurations to suit various needs:
- LT Trim: Available in front-wheel drive (220 hp) or all-wheel drive (300 hp).
- RS Trim: Choose from front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive. The RWD RS model is a standout with 365 hp and the longest driving range at 334 miles (EPA-estimated).
- SS Trim: For those craving adrenaline, the SS delivers 595 hp and rockets from 0-60 mph in just 4.0 seconds, per Chevy’s estimates.
The RS AWD we tested hit 60 mph in 6.0 seconds—adequate for daily driving, but not as thrilling as the SS. All models use a liquid-cooled 85.0 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
Range and Charging: What to Expect
Range and efficiency vary by configuration:
- RWD RS: Maximum EPA-estimated range of 334 miles.
- AWD RS/LT: Range drops to 283 miles.
- Highway Test: The AWD RS achieved 200 miles in real-world conditions at 75 mph.
Fast-charging capability is robust, with up to 190 kW speeds. Chevrolet claims you can add 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes using a DC fast charger.
Design: Bold on the Outside, Sporty Inside
The Blazer EV’s exterior is undeniably eye-catching, but its interior offers thoughtful design and comfort:
- Two-Row Layout: Spacious enough for adults in both rows.
- Cargo Space: Offers 26 cubic feet behind the rear seats and up to 60 cubic feet with them folded flat.
- RS and SS Trims: Sporty two-tone black-and-red interiors; monotone options are also available.
Technology is a centerpiece, featuring a 17.7-inch infotainment screen tilted towards the driver and an 11.0-inch gauge display. Google Built-In powers the infotainment system, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are notably absent—a potential dealbreaker for some.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Chevrolet equips all Blazer EVs with a robust suite of safety features:
- Standard Features: Automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and pedestrian detection.
- Optional Features: Super Cruise hands-free driving and adaptive cruise control.
The SUV’s structure and safety systems are designed to inspire confidence, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising the highway.
Warranty and Maintenance
Chevrolet offers competitive coverage:
- Limited Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles.
- Powertrain Warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles.
- Electric Components: 8 years or 100,000 miles.
- Complimentary Maintenance: Includes one free maintenance visit.
Our Pick: RS RWD for Maximum Value
While the Blazer EV’s lineup is packed with options, the rear-wheel-drive RS trim strikes the best balance of power, range, and features. At $55,595, it offers the longest driving range (334 miles) and upgrades like heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and 21-inch wheels.

Whether you prioritize range, power, or tech, this SUV offers something for everyone. While minor drawbacks like the lack of smartphone integration may deter some buyers, the Blazer EV’s overall package is undeniably impressive.
For those ready to embrace the future of electric mobility with a sporty edge, the Blazer EV delivers in spades.
