2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV
The Blazer EV honestly surprised me because it feels much bigger and more family-friendly than I expected from a sporty-looking two-row EV. Between the wide second row, strong three-across potential, and updated tech, there’s a lot here that works really well for families.
- Flat bench makes three-across setups much easier: I really liked how wide and flat the second row felt because it gives you a lot more flexibility with different car seat combinations.
- Lower anchors are easy to access: the attached lower anchor covers keep everything easy to find without digging around the seats.
- Rear-facing car seat clearance is excellent: even with a rear-facing seat installed, I still had really good front-seat space.
- The interior finally feels truly upgraded: Chevy has stepped up their interiors a lot lately, and this curved screen setup feels modern without being confusing.
- Storage throughout the cabin is genuinely useful: there’s a huge compartment underneath the center console plus additional storage throughout the front row.
- Super Cruise and the tech setup feel very polished: overall, the technology in this car feels really well done and easy to use.
The Exterior
The Blazer EV does not really feel like the old Blazer to me, but I actually still really like the exterior. It feels sporty, futuristic, and much larger in person than you would expect from a two-row SUV.
The EV Design Makes the Blazer Feel More Futuristic
Since this is an EV, Chevy had a lot more freedom with the front-end styling, and I think they did a really nice job balancing sporty and simple.
- The front light bar gives it a sporty look: this SS trim gets the illuminated front light bar and sporty styling details.
- The body feels long and wide in person: it honestly feels larger than a typical five-passenger SUV.
- The coupe-style roof changes the overall look: the sloped rear roofline gives the Blazer EV a much sportier profile.
- Retro-inspired vents tie back to the original Blazer: I actually loved those little vintage-inspired touches throughout the design.
First Row
The first row of the Blazer EV feels very updated and driver-focused. Chevy finally found a really good balance between modern tech and user-friendly controls, and I genuinely enjoyed driving this thing.
The Curved Screens Make the Interior Feel Much More Premium
The curved dash and infotainment screens completely change the feel of the cabin. It looks modern and high-end without becoming overwhelming to use.
- Climate controls are easy to use: I liked that you could control them both physically and through the screen.
- Heads-up display adds helpful visibility: I could see speed, navigation, and other information directly in front of me while driving.
Chevy Added More Practical Storage Throughout the Cabin
I also really liked the huge pass-through storage underneath the center console because it gives families a lot more room to toss bags and everyday items.
- Wireless charging and cupholders are easy to reach: the front row setup felt practical and functional overall.
Visibility Is Not Perfect Because of the Sloped Roofline
The coupe-style roof does limit rear visibility a little bit, but the rearview camera mirror helps offset that when passengers or car seats block the back window.
Second Row
The second row is honestly one of the strongest parts of the Blazer EV for families. Between the wide bench, flat seat design, and impressive car seat flexibility, I think this is going to work really well for a lot of different family setups.
Flat Bench and Minimal Bolsters Help Three-Across Setups
One of the biggest reasons this works well for car seats is because the bench stays nice and flat instead of having huge bolsters pushing seats inward. That gives you much more flexibility for different three-across combinations.
- Lower anchors are on the outboard seats: the lower anchor setup felt very easy to access and use.
- Rear-facing space is excellent: I still had really good clearance with a rear-facing seat installed behind the front seats.
This Feels More Versatile Than Many Other EVs
Sometimes three-across only works for one very specific setup, but I actually feel pretty confident the Blazer EV offers flexibility for multiple combinations and future family stages.
- Flexible middle-seat space helps with boosters and passengers: the wider center seat gives families more room to work with.
- Heated rear seats and vents improve passenger comfort: the second row in this SS trim feels much more premium overall.
Third Row
Trunk
The Blazer EV offers 26 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which is still solid for a sporty two-row EV with this much sloping roofline. Even with the coupe-style shape, the trunk still felt deep and very usable for everyday family gear.
The Cargo Area Still Feels Family-Friendly
I could easily see this handling groceries, sports gear, and stroller life without feeling cramped. The opening itself also feels nice and wide, which makes loading larger items easier.
- 26 cubic feet behind the second row: that puts the Blazer EV right around the Audi Q5 at 26 cubic feet and slightly below the Chevy Equinox at 29.8 cubic feet.
- More cargo room than the Ford Bronco Sport: the Bronco Sport offers 22.4 cubic feet behind the second row.
- Less cargo room than boxier compact SUVs: the Ford Escape offers 37.5 cubic feet and the Kia Sportage offers 39.6 cubic feet.
Deep Underfloor Storage Helps Make Up for the Smaller Cargo Area
I also really liked how deep the underfloor storage area was because it gives families extra room to hide smaller items, emergency gear, or things you do not want rolling around the trunk.
Safety
Chevy Packed the Blazer EV With Driver Assistance Technology
The Blazer EV includes a long list of modern safety and driver-assistance features, and overall the technology setup feels very polished and easy to use.
Super Cruise Adds Hands-Free Driving Capability
This SS trim includes Super Cruise, which is Chevy’s hands-free driving technology for compatible highways.
Visibility Technology Helps Offset the Sloped Roofline
Because the rear roofline slopes down pretty aggressively, I appreciated the rear camera mirror for providing a clearer view behind the vehicle when passengers or car seats block visibility.
The Blazer EV also includes:
- Heads-up display
- Surround-view cameras
- Parking sensors
- Driver assistance technology
- Multiple drive modes
The Blazer EV is actually very three-across friendly, which I was really excited about. A big reason why is because the second row stays nice and flat instead of forcing car seats inward with aggressive bolsters or sculpted seating.
I installed a Graco SlimFit 3 LX forward-facing along with a rear-facing infant seat, and I still had excellent room to work with. The wide bench and flexible layout make me feel pretty confident this SUV can handle a variety of family stages, whether that’s multiple convertible seats, booster seats, or a mix of passengers and car seats.
- Lower anchors are easy to access on the outboard seats: I loved the attached lower anchor covers because they make installs much simpler.
- Flat seat design helps maximize car seat space: I was able to shift seats around much more easily because the bench is not heavily sculpted.
- Rear-facing clearance works well for tall drivers: I still had excellent space up front even with the infant seat installed.
