The Chevrolet Blazer EV is making a comeback for the 2025 model year, offering consumers a choice of battery packs to suit their needs. Priced starting at around $49,000, the Blazer EV boasts an EPA-rated range of 283 miles on its standard battery pack.
Last year, the Blazer EV missed out on the competition due to timing issues. However, this year, it has secured a spot as one of the final five contenders for The Car Connection’s Best Car To Buy award. Despite some early tech glitches with the infotainment system in previous models, the 2025 Blazer EV has proven to be a reliable and impressive choice.
The Blazer EV is part of Chevy’s electric SUV lineup and comes in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations. The 2025 model offers a base all-wheel-drive version with an 85.0-kwh battery pack that provides up to 283 miles of range. For those looking for even more range, there is a single-motor, big-battery model that can achieve up to 334 miles in EPA testing. Additionally, a higher-performance Blazer SS and a front-wheel-drive edition are on the horizon.
In terms of design, the Blazer EV stands out with its muscular and provocative stance, drawing inspiration from classic muscle cars like the Camaro. The interior features stylish elements and advanced technology, setting it apart from its competitors. The driving experience is enhanced by the powerful motors and smooth handling, making it a joy to drive on both city streets and winding mountain roads.
While the base model comes with a price tag of $49,000 and includes a range of standard features, there are options to upgrade to the RS trim with a bigger battery pack for around $54,000. Despite its impressive features, the Blazer EV faces stiff competition from other electric SUVs on the market, including the Equinox EV and Kia EV9.
The final verdict on whether the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV will take home the Best Car To Buy award will be announced on January 6, 2025. In the meantime, consumers can look forward to a capable and stylish electric SUV that offers a balance of performance, technology, and value.
