2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS vs. Kia EV6 GT Comparison Test
If you like the '70s aesthetic but not necessarily in your living room, check out the Kia EV6 GT and the Chevrolet Blazer EV SS. With more than 600 horsepower each and wild colors (such as Habanero Orange for the Blazer), they've got that vibe. We compare these two electric muscle SUVs side by side and figure out the pros and cons of each. As recent first-time homeowners, my wife and I have spent months arguing over everything from paint colors to faucet finishes. We usually want a similar outcome, but it's the "how" that has led us to butt heads. That tension reminds me of two electric SUVs we've recently tested: the Kia EV6 GT and the Chevy Blazer EV SS. Both pack big horsepower—615 ponies for the Chevy and 641 for the Kia—and both represent their lineup's highest trim level. But each takes a slightly different road in creating a modern, battery-powered version of the muscle-car idea. We pitted them head-to-head to figure out which one truly gets it right. One thing my wife and I agree on: Neither the EV6 GT's Yacht Blue Matte paint nor the Blazer EV SS's Habanero Orange hue would work in our upstairs bathroom. There's something unmistakably 1970s about both shades, which, in the case of our house, is exactly the vibe we're trying to toss out (along with the old shag carpet). But for these quick-accelerating all-wheel-drive EVs, both colors work. The as-tested $65,970 Kia, which recently underwent a minor renovation of its own, borrows performance upgrades from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and cements its position as the most fun Kia we've ever driven. The $64,280 Blazer EV SS, meanwhile, carries heavier expectations. Is the "Super Sport" SS badge, with decades of Camaro and Chevelle legacy to live up to, stolen valor? It's really not that deep. The reality is, the Blazer EV SS is easily the quickest-ever SS model to 60 mph. view interior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Blazer EV SS view interior Photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Kia EV6 GT Interior and Exterior Both vehicles feature plenty of piano-black plastic, which at this point is essentially the OSB of the car-interior world. But these EVs attempt to spice things up with colorful stitching, and both have synthetic-leather seats with fabric inserts. The Blazer's front seats have all the bolstering of an Adirondack chair. Meanwhile, the EV6 GT's buckets could have been plucked from a Porsche Cayman. The Kia's steering wheel is nearly as thick as a modern BMW M car's, and its neon-green hash mark at the 12-o'clock position fuels its sports-car persona. The Chevy's wheel skips this detail in favor of an inlaid status bar for its standard Super Cruise hands-free tech. On paper, the two have identical rear passenger volume at 48 cubic feet, and you'd have to be wearing a stovepipe hat to use up the generous rear headroom of either SUV. However, the Blazer's rear seats don't recline, and they have a strange lump between the bottom and back cushion that aggravates the tailbone. You can recline in the EV6. view interior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Blazer EV SS view interior Photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Kia EV6 GT We don't love how screen-dependent car interiors have become, but the trend is inescapable at this point. In the Blazer, even the headlights are toggled via the 17.7-inch Google-based touchscreen. Yet despite all of that screen, there's no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as it uses Google Built-In instead. Worse, the design of the icons is ambiguous. The "settings" icon, for example, resembles an overinflated tire, while the icon for the camera looks more like a Kodak Brownie than anything I've taken pictures with in the past 30 years. The EV6 GT has similar pitfalls. A funky touchscreen panel operates climate controls, or you can swap to media-player functions, but we wish we could have both without the back-and-forth. Unlike the Blazer, the Kia does have wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, but in an EV, that means there's inevitably that awkward juggling between Waze and the vehicle's built-in navigation to find a compatible charger on road trips. The Kia's move to an NACS plug improves compatibility with Tesla Superchargers, but most of those are 500-volt units, limiting the EV6's 800-volt system to lower peak charging speeds. At least Kia moved the charge port to the driver's-side rear (where it is on the Tesla Model S, 3, X, and Y), so you won't block the charger like a jerk. The charging port on the Blazer EV, which can also be used at a Tesla Supercharger, is just behind the driver's-side front wheel, and it can require you to nose in uncomfortably close to get the cord to reach. view exterior photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Blazer EV SS view exterior photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Kia EV6 GT Powertrain and Performance The Blazer EV SS we tested weighed 5737 pounds—a whopping 831 more than the EV6 GT. But thanks to its 650 pound-feet of torque, it still lunges to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. That's just ever so slightly behind the Kia, which hits the mark in 3.2 seconds. By the quarter-mile, however, the EV6 pulls further ahead: 11.2 seconds at 125 mph versus the Blazer's 11.8 at 117. Don't tell your Chevelle-loving uncle. Chevrolet Blazer EV SS Highs: Plenty quick enough to earn its storied badge, strong braking performance, solid EPA range. Lows: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are AWOL, shapeless seats, chassis can't match Kia's sharpness. Verdict: The SS badge enters the electric age. The performance advantage of the EV6 GT is less decisive during passing maneuvers. The Kia rockets from 30 to 50 mph in just 1.8 seconds and from 50 to 70 mph in 2.1 seconds. In some give-and-take, the Blazer EV SS's times came out at 1.7 and 2.2 seconds, respectively. Minor differences aside, the Kia's acceleration manifests more urgently on the road. The Blazer's power is equally impressive, but it feels less immediate despite the Chevy's torque advantage. Both of these hot rods have robust brake equipment to slow their roll, and stopping is where the Blazer shines. The Blazer EV SS's binders are highlighted by standard six-piston Brembo calipers clamping 15.3-inch front rotors. That hardware, along with the optional Performance package's summer tires and higher-friction brake pads and rotors, hauled the SS to a stop from 70 mph in 157 feet and from 100 mph in 309 feet. The EV6 GT, with 15.0-inch front rotors and 14.2-inch rears, took a slightly longer 163 feet to stop from 70 mph and 331 feet from 100, despite its lower mass. view exterior photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Driving Performance The EV6 GT is simply a pleasure to drive. It's super agile, especially when you've got the pedal down—so much so that you start wondering, "Who should I call when they arrest me?" Its steering is precise, its body control firm, and the electronic limited-slip differential on the rear axle allows for sharper turn-in. We prefer driving it with the goofy Virtual Gear Shift turned off—it's charming in the Ioniq 5 N, but the Kia's low redline and the fact that it's simulating a six-speed automatic make it feel like a gimmick here. view exterior photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver The Blazer's Wide Open Watts (WOW) mode unleashes full power, and it's not as jarring to the senses as the video-game theatrics of the EV6. You can drive the SS like a madman, but it has its limits, and Chevy admits the vehicle is not designed for track days. Understeer arrives early, and skidpad grip was limited to 0.89 g, slightly less than the EV6 GT's 0.90 g. Still, that's considerably more than the last Blazer EV RS we tested (which wore all-season rubber), and the SS receives stiffer springs, beefier anti-roll bars, and updated dampers, all of which help it corner much better than lesser electric Blazers. Kia EV6 GT Highs: Righteously quick, plenty of fun to drive, speedy charging. Lows: Limited EPA range, uninspiring Virtual Gear Shift mode, some ergonomic oddities. Verdict: Performance and personality. One clear advantage of the Kia is charging speed. Its 84-kWh battery supports up to 240 kilowatts of peak DC fast-charging—faster than the Blazer's 190-kW rate for its 102-kWh pack. While we didn't test the Kia's fast-charge claim, the mechanically similar Ioniq 5 N charged from 10 to 90 percent in just 35 minutes, and we'd expect a similar performance from the Kia. The Blazer took 57 minutes to do the same. We weren't able to run these two through our 75-mph highway range test, but EPA estimates put the Blazer well ahead of the EV6. According to the Feds, the Chevy can travel up to 303 miles per charge, while the Kia does 231. view interior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Blazer EV SS view interior Photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver Kia EV6 GT And the Winner Is . . . During our two weeks with both vehicles, it was clear that our staffers favored the Kia over the Chevy. But why? view exterior photos Michael Simari | Car and Driver When it comes to driving dynamics, charging speed, and ergonomics, the EV6 GT is enjoyably more fierce. While the Blazer EV SS packs gobs of torque and practical driving range for daily use, it doesn't engender the same emotional connection. And making us giggle is of the utmost importance from any performance model. The Blazer EV SS is a great Blazer EV, but the EV6 GT is the more engaging performance machine.

This car has gone electric and it's an absolute beast
CONCORD, N.C.—I can't remember the last time I experienced such braking force. At least, when I was behind the wheel. It's incredible! Recently, I was on a closed course in North Carolina to test the track performance of the all-new 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS. One of the exercises Chevy put me through is launch control, which I have done before, but not in an EV. Launch control consists of putting the foot to the floor on both the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time. You then lift your left foot off the brake and launch the car. Simple, right? Not this time. I kinda screwed it up. I had my Blazer EV SS tester pointed down the front straight on track, and once I got the OK from my co-pilot, a Chevy engineer, I lifted my left foot off the brake. And my Radiant Red Tintcoat Blazer EV SS rocketed down the track with such force, the back of my head hit the headrest. 0-97 km/h in 3.4 seconds? Can confirm. Bright orange cones marked the braking point down range, but my brain didn't switch back to right-foot braking, so, instead, I used my left. Big mistake. I don't normally use my left foot for anything except clutch work, which is a rare occurrence in new cars these days. Instead of decelerating smoothly, my left foot mashed the brake pedal. Hard. I jerked myself and the engineer violently forward. The car went into limp mode. OnStar, GM's emergency services hotline, called in asking us if we were OK and needed help. We didn't. But I could've used some for my acute case of embarrassment. The warning symbol on the gigantic 17.7-inch infotainment display was dismissed after I parked the car trackside and opened the door to restart. Everything was fine. I apologized profusely to the engineer. He took it in stride. As my embarrassment began to fade, I cracked a lame joke about how good the SS's Brembo brakes are. He laughed. Or humoured me at least. We carried on without further incident. So, if you wanted to know if the Blazer EV SS is, indeed, a performance machine, my experience is proof positive that it is. The SS model, which joins the LT and RS in the Blazer EV lineup, gets all the performance kit Chevy can throw at it. The most important is propulsion, which comes from dual electric motors and a 102-kWh lithium-ion battery. Total output is rated at 615 horsepower and 650 lbs.-ft. of torque, or motive force. To match its immense power, Chevy has beefed up the Blazer EV SS chassis. This means stiffer anti-roll bars and stiffer front and rear springs, which are 60 per cent and 30 per cent firmer, respectively, than those on the regular Blazer EV. These changes contribute to a sportier ride, while a faster steering ratio and Monotube dampers deliver quicker steering and vehicle response. Standard 22-inch wheels and low-profile Michelin all-season tires also help with the steering. Optional Continental summer performance tires included in the Performance Package ($495) improve handling and grip even more. Then there's the stopping force from the Brembo brakes, which performed quite well during my accidental test. These enhancements really make a difference for road driving. While the Blazer EV SS handles well enough on track, it's not designed for this use. Chevy reps talked a lot about its 'canyon carving' abilities during the product briefing, and I think it's a good descriptor, based on my experience on Charlotte-area roads. Its stiffer chassis, bigger tires and excellent brakes make the Blazer EV SS a fun car for zooming along on two-lane country roads, of which there are many in the Charlotte area. Body lean is minimal, steering feels light and accurate, and its big power output make for a very fast performance EV. Canyon carver, indeed. And the performance character extends to the cabin. The flat bottom steering wheel, adrenalin-red, perforated synthetic leather seats, and large digital displays really drive the sporty feel. The displays, especially the 17.7-inch multimedia touchscreen, are customizable, with pin-sharp graphics and a glut of deep colour. Because the centre display is powered by Google, it doesn't support phone-tethering with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. But native Google Maps worked well in my test vehicle, and I didn't miss CarPlay much. It is something buyers should consider, however. Of note, most GM EVs use the same tech. Overall, the Blazer EV SS checks EV boxes, with up to 190-kW charging speeds and 488 km of range. It can also be fitted with a NACS DC adapter ($325) for use on the Tesla Supercharger network. The Blazer EV SS has a lot going for it; it offers sharp styling, loads of standard high-tech features … oh, and blistering performance. Type: Battery-electric, mid-size SUV, all-wheel drive Motor: Dual electric motors plus 102 kWh battery; 615 horsepower, 650 pounds-feet of torque (motive force) Transmission: Single-speed direct drive Fuel: 2.5 litres equivalent/100 km in the city; 3.0 Le/100 km on the highway; 2.8 Le/100 km combined Range: 488 km Cargo: 730 litres, or 25.8 cubic feet; 1,693l, or 59.8 cu. ft. in total Price: $69,999; $71,894 as tested, plus $2,600 freight

Chevy makes history at Daytona 500 with first electric pace car
Chevrolet made history at the 67th Daytona 500 by introducing the 2025 Blazer EV SS as the official pace car. This marked the first time an electric vehicle led the field at NASCAR's most iconic race, a striking symbol of how the automotive world is shifting toward electrification while still honoring its racing heritage. The Blazer EV SS isn't just any electric SUV; it's the quickest SS model Chevrolet has ever built, and it turned heads both on and off the track. The 2025 Blazer EV SS is all about performance. Thanks to its Wide Open Watts mode, the SUV sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, delivering a staggering 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque through its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. This level of power puts it in the same conversation as some of the fastest electric crossovers on the market, rivaling models like the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Tesla Model Y Performance. Beyond straight-line speed, the Blazer EV SS features front Brembo brakes, a sport-tuned chassis and a robust 102 kWh battery pack. Despite being built for performance, it still offers an EPA-estimated 303 miles of range, so it's just as great for your everyday drive as it is for those fun weekend adventures. Chevrolet has packed the Blazer EV SS with advanced technology to enhance both comfort and safety. Inside, drivers are greeted by a massive 17.7-inch color touchscreen with Google built in, an 11-inch driver display, a premium Bose audio system and ambient lighting. The SUV also comes standard with Super Cruise, GM's hands-free driver assistance technology, adding an extra layer of convenience for long highway drives. On the outside, the SS trim stands out with 22-inch machined-face aluminum wheels, a blacked-out roof and sporty illuminated accents that signal its performance pedigree. The 2025 Daytona 500 was more than just a race; it was a showcase of Chevrolet's commitment to innovation. Alongside the Blazer EV SS pace car, Chevy unveiled the Blazer EV.R NASCAR Prototype. This all-electric prototype, built in collaboration with NASCAR and other OEM partners, is designed to explore new automotive technologies and push the boundaries of what is possible on the racetrack. Chevrolet also paced the entire NASCAR season-opener weekend, with the Corvette Stingray leading the Xfinity Series and the Silverado RST pacing the Truck Series. Fans had the opportunity to get up close to all these vehicles at Chevrolet's displays throughout Daytona International Speedway. Chevrolet's presence at Daytona is nothing new. The brand has now paced the Daytona 500 17 times and has more wins at the Speedway than any other manufacturer. In 2024, Chevrolet swept all three NASCAR Manufacturers' Championships, underscoring its ongoing dominance in motorsports. The debut of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS at the Daytona 500 is a milestone moment for both Chevrolet and NASCAR. It signals a future where electrification and high performance go hand in hand, blending tradition with innovation. As the Blazer EV SS led the pack this year, it's clear that the race toward an electric future is not just underway, it's picking up speed. If NASCAR eventually switches to fully electric vehicles and the classic "roar of the engines" is replaced by EV silence, would you still be excited to watch the races, or does the sound and tradition matter too much for you to tune in?
