Chevy is charging forward in the electric SUV race with the launch of the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV, now available for order. This year’s Blazer brings more range, improved power, and an even lower starting price, making it an attractive choice for those looking to make the switch to electric.
With front-wheel-drive (FWD), all-wheel-drive (AWD), rear-wheel-drive (RWD), and the high-performance SS trim options, Chevy’s Blazer EV lineup offers something for every type of driver.
More Affordable Entry with New FWD Trim
One of the biggest updates to the 2025 Blazer EV lineup is the introduction of a front-wheel-drive (FWD) variant. Starting at $45,995, this new trim brings the Blazer EV to a wider audience, providing a more affordable entry point into the electric SUV market.
Chevy has made it clear that they’re aiming to appeal to cost-conscious buyers, and this move reflects that. The FWD model, expected to hit dealerships by the end of the year, is perfect for those who want an electric SUV without breaking the bank.
Power and Range Improvements Across the Lineup
The 2025 Blazer EV isn’t just about affordability—it’s also bringing more power and range to the table. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) and rear-wheel-drive (RWD) models have both seen improvements in these areas.
The LT AWD model now starts at $48,995, which is $1,200 less than the previous year’s model, and it offers an EPA-estimated range of 283 miles, a slight increase from last year’s 279 miles.
Meanwhile, the RWD RS trim, priced at $56,990, delivers a significant 10-mile range boost, bringing the total to 334 miles. This makes it one of the longest-range options in Chevy’s current electric lineup.
Power has also been enhanced. The RS RWD model now generates 365 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, while the LT AWD cranks out 300 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque—both seeing gains over the previous year’s models.
The High-Performance SS: Speed and Luxury Combined
For those who crave high performance, the SS AWD model is the crown jewel of the Blazer EV lineup. With a starting price of $61,995, the SS trim offers 595 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque in its “Wide Open Watts” mode.
This powerhouse can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, making it a serious contender for anyone seeking speed in an electric SUV. And with Chevy lowering the SS’s price by $4,000 compared to the previous announcement, this high-performance option has become more accessible to thrill-seekers.
New Features and Customization Options for 2025
Chevy has also introduced several new customization options for the 2025 Blazer EV. Midnight and Sport packages are now available on the LT trim, offering buyers a chance to add more flair to their vehicles. A stylish two-tone roof is available for both the LT and RS models, giving the Blazer a more dynamic, modern look.
In terms of technology, Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free driving system, is now standard on the SS and available on the LT AWD and RS AWD trims. This makes long highway drives more comfortable and convenient.
The Comfort and Convenience package on the LT AWD, priced at $2,295, includes useful features like heated seats, wireless phone charging, and a power tailgate. For those opting for the RS AWD, the Convenience and Driver package offers additional luxury with a head-up display, surround-view camera system, and more for $2,620.
Charging Efficiency and Technology Updates
In addition to range and power upgrades, the Blazer EV also benefits from improved charging capabilities. Chevy has equipped the 2025 Blazer EV with GM’s 85-kWh battery for the LT and RS trims, while the SS and higher-end RS models come with a larger 102-kWh battery.
This ensures quicker charging times and more efficient energy use, especially for those taking longer trips. Charging from 10% to 80% can be achieved in a relatively short time when connected to a fast charger, making the Blazer EV a solid option for those who need to hit the road without long charging delays.
Chevy has also addressed some of the software glitches that affected the previous Blazer EV models. All 2025 Blazer EVs come with significant software updates, including improvements to ambient lighting and battery percentage display in the gauge-cluster graphics.
Early reports suggest these tweaks have made a noticeable difference in user experience, particularly in the ease of charging and driving efficiency.
Attracting New Buyers
Chevrolet is making waves by attracting new customers, with the Blazer EV seeing a 52% conquest rate in drawing buyers away from other brands, including rivals like Tesla.
This statistic shows that the Blazer EV isn’t just appealing to die-hard Chevy fans—it’s winning over drivers who are new to the brand and electric vehicles altogether.
Looking Ahead
With the 2025 Blazer EV available to order and deliveries starting by the end of the year, Chevy is positioning itself as a strong player in the mid-size electric SUV segment.
From the new, more affordable FWD model to the powerful and luxurious SS trim, the Blazer EV lineup offers something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for range, performance, or a budget-friendly option, the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV lineup has you covered.
