After a year and a half of delays, Chevy has finally unleashed the much-anticipated 615-horsepower Blazer EV SS. As the first electric vehicle to carry the SS badge, it’s setting a new benchmark for performance in the EV SUV segment. When Chevy first teased the Blazer EV nearly three years ago, many of us were excited about the promise of a high-performance variant, but the wait felt endless, especially as the holiday season passed without seeing the SS version on the lot.
Taking the Blazer EV SS for a spin was an unforgettable experience. On the track, the 615 hp delivers explosive acceleration and impressive handling that rivals some of the best performance SUVs out there. The all-wheel-drive system provides excellent traction, and the adaptive suspension makes it feel both planted and agile, whether you’re navigating tight corners or hitting the straightaways for some serious speed.
Off the track, the Blazer EV SS remains just as impressive. The interior is both spacious and tech-forward, with all the modern amenities you’d expect from an electric SUV. Despite its power, the ride is surprisingly smooth and comfortable, making it a great option for daily driving or long road trips. The design stays true to the classic Blazer lines but with sporty accents that clearly denote its SS status.
Chevy has really outdone themselves with this model. The Blazer EV SS not only honors the legacy of the SS badge but also pushes the envelope in what an electric SUV can be. If you’re in the market for an EV that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Blazer EV SS might just be the only one you’ll ever need.
What do you all think? Does the Blazer EV SS live up to the SS legacy, and is it a game-changer for electric performance SUVs?
