Fast But Not Sporty
That’s the best summary to describe the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS. Its SS badge, a true icon in the brand’s history, stands for Super Sport. Traditionally, it evoked a big engine, big brakes, and exceptional performance.
Of course, it also represented one of the best sedans in history with the Chevrolet SS, but that belongs to the past. The SS badge returns in the electric era with the Blazer EV SS. Far from being a pure athlete, it nonetheless continues the tradition of increased power, oversized brakes, and remarkable performance. However, those hoping for a direct competitor to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N from Chevrolet will need to adjust their expectations.
Core Features
The Blazer EV SS arrives this year as the flagship model of the range. It offers more power, revised steering and suspension, improved brakes, slight aesthetic tweaks, and better transmission control. But it is by no means an electric sports car.
The aesthetic modifications specific to the SS version are subtle and refined. The specific wheels, distinctive badges, and exclusive finishes give it an enhanced road presence without being excessive. The approach remains elegant and mature, faithful to the brand’s heritage.
Performance and Driving
Under the hood, the Blazer EV SS delivers impressive electric power. Acceleration is sharp and immediate, typical of high-performance electric vehicles. The torque available from low revs ensures dynamic pick-up in any situation.
The regenerative braking system offers several levels of energy recovery, allowing for a more or less engaged driving experience depending on the driver’s preference. The mechanical brakes, larger than those on standard versions, provide substantial braking power to control this moving mass.
Technology and Equipment
The Blazer EV SS’s cabin benefits from Chevrolet’s latest technological innovations. The large central screen serves as the control hub for all vehicle functions. The user interface is intuitive and responsive, with modern graphics and extensive customization.
The driver assistance systems include the latest developments in active safety and driving comfort. Traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and lane keeping assist work with precision and smoothness.
Range and Charging
The announced range places the Blazer EV SS in the upper average of electric SUVs in its category. The high-capacity battery allows for stress-free long-distance journeys, while compatibility with DC fast charging significantly reduces downtime.
The sophisticated thermal management system optimizes battery performance in all conditions, preserving both range and cell longevity. Route planning via the integrated navigation system takes into account available charging stations along the way.
Interior Design and Comfort
The SS interior trim is distinguished by superior quality materials and exclusive equipment. The sport front seats offer excellent lateral support without compromising comfort on long journeys. The careful sound insulation ensures a peaceful cabin atmosphere, even at high speed.
The cargo space remains generous despite the presence of the battery, retaining the versatility expected of an SUV. The clever storage and practical amenities meet the needs of both daily use and occasional trips.
Conclusion
The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS fully embraces its positioning: extremely fast in acceleration but without excessive sporting pretensions. It represents a modern interpretation of the SS heritage, adapted to the new realities of electric mobility.
Its balanced approach between raw performance and practical daily use makes it a convincing vehicle for those seeking the thrills of electrification without the usual compromises of purely sports vehicles. A coherent and mature proposition in the landscape of high-performance electric SUVs.
