2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV a Good SUV?

"The Blazer EV is only barely longer than the cheaper Equinox EV, although it does have a 5.5-inch-longer wheelbase, and it shares its AWD powertrain with its lesser sibling, too. The main reason to stretch for a 2025 Blazer EV is its optional rear-wheel-drive powertrain, which is shared with the Cadillac Lyriq and increases both power and range considerably. On the other hand, the rear-drive Blazer EV costs nearly as much as the Lyriq, so its value proposition is questionable. We do prefer it to the Cadillac Optiq, however, which, despite the luxury badge, delivers both less power and worse range while utilizing the Equinox EV's shorter wheelbase. By the way, if you're thinking that GM has a number of EVs in this general price range that share a lot of elements, you're onto something. It can be hard to keep them all straight."—Ranked #4 out of 12 Compact Electric SUVs

Which 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV Should I Buy?

MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

1. 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV Single Motor Front-Wheel Drive

• Base Price: $44,600
• Range: 312 mi
• Battery Capacity: 85.0 kWh
• Peak Charge Rate: 150 kW
• Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
• Engine: 1 electric motor
• Horsepower: 220 
• Torque: 243 lb⁠-⁠ft
• Length: 192.2 in
• Towing Capacity: 1,500 lbs

The entry-level Blazer EV puts its single electric motor in the front, giving this model the trifecta of available FWD, RWD and AWD. Note that this FWD powertrain is lifted straight out of the Equinox EV, which offers it for far less money to start.

2. 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive

• Base Price: $47,600
• Range: 283 mi
• Battery Capacity: 85.0 kWh
• Peak Charge Rate: 150 kW
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2 electric motors
• Horsepower: 300 
• Torque: 354 lb⁠-⁠ft
• Weight: 5,337 lbs
• Length: 192.2 in
• Towing Capacity: 1,500 lbs

Oddly, the all-wheel-drive Blazer EV starts at a lower price than the rear-wheel-drive model. You don’t see that very often. Another weird thing: The AWD Blazer EV makes less power than the RWD Blazer EV, which again is the opposite of EV normalcy. AWD typically means a huge injection of power for an EV, but the base Blazer AWD actually makes less power from two motors than the Blazer RWD makes from one.

3. 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV Single Motor Rear-Wheel Drive

• Base Price: $54,200
• Range: 334 mi
• Battery Capacity: 102.0 kWh
• Peak Charge Rate: 190 kW
• Drive Type: Rear-wheel drive
• Engine: 1 electric motor
• Horsepower: 365 
• Torque: 325 lb⁠-⁠ft
• Weight: 5,591 lbs
• Length: 192.2 in
• Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs

This particular single-motor Blazer EV (remember, there’s a front-drive version, too!) is the range leader in the lineup, which is typical in the EV world — fewer motors mean more efficiency. What's not typical is the fact that Chevy charges more for this rear-drive Blazer EV than it does for the standard (non-SS) dual-motor version. What's going on? Well, in another funny twist, the RWD Blazer EV also has considerably more power than the base dual-motor version, because the RWD model's single motor is an extraordinarily powerful unit borrowed from the Cadillac Lyriq. It's all a bit confusing, but hey, the bottom line is that 334 miles of range in a 365-horsepower EV is pretty impressive.

4. 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS (Dual-Motor AWD)

• Base Price: $60,600
• Range: 303 mi
• Battery Capacity: 102.0 kWh
• Peak Charge Rate: 190 kW
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2 electric motors
• Horsepower: 595 
• Torque: 645 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 3.4 sec
• Length: 192.2 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

Promising almost supercar-grade acceleration in a midsize SUV package, the Blazer SS is definitely an EV we're looking forward to driving. Its 303-mile range estimate is mighty impressive, too, considering how fast this thing is.
