Chevy took one of their most popular SUVs and electrified it to give fans an all-electric car they know they can rely on. Does that mean it can hold up to the iconic Tesla Model Y? In this comparison, we lay out all the details you need to know about the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV and the 2025 Tesla Model Y to put them both to the test.

2025 Chevy Blazer EV vs 2025 Tesla Model Y

There was a time when Tesla was the only viable choice in the EV market, but that era is long behind us. The new 2025 Chevy Blazer EV comes at a similar price range while offering more choices and more miles. Your practical EV SUV is finally here so you can put the outdated Tesla name in the far reaches of your mind.

Performance

With a wide range of distinct powertrain options, there is a Blazer EV that matches your driving style. The standard single-motor is capable of 220 horsepower with the dual-motor AWD being a notch above the base model at 300 HP. For peak performance, the 2025 Blazer EV SS trim with Wide Open Watts delivers a whopping 595 HP on 645 lb.-ft. of torque with a record of 0-60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds. Depending on the trim, you can make up to 334 miles on a full charge with Regen on Demand helping you stretch your maximum range. Make your Blazer EV compatible with Level 2 charging so you can take advantage of the 231,000+ public chargers (and growing) at your disposal.

Tesla may be a famous name, but the new 2025 Model Y is as basic as they come in terms of modern EVs. Your electrified platforms range from 295-455 horsepower, missing both the affordable market and the high-performance demographic. Going with the Model Y Long Range only gets you 330 miles compared to the Blazer EV's 334. Before thinking that's only a handful of miles for each charge, keep in mind that the Blazer EV also supports next-gen energy-saving features. And the longer you drive, the more those saved miles add up.

Safety Features

Chevrolet has always been a "safety first" company, and the latest Blazer EV is protected under that enduring philosophy. The latest 2025 Blazer EV comes with over 15 standard safety and driver-assist features so every model prioritizes your protection. These features include:

• Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Rear Pedestrian Alert
• Side Bicyclist Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• HD Surround Vision
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Reverse Automatic Braking
• Rear Park Assist
• HD Rear Vision Camera
• Teen Driver technology
• Safety Alert Seat
• Everything that's included in Chevy Safety Assist

Tesla was ahead of the game in terms of hands-free driving, but now plenty of other automakers like Chevrolet are normalizing this next-gen technology. Autopilot in the Model Y isn't how people remember, still requiring driver intervention during the trip. Super Cruise hands-free technology in the Blazer EV, on the other hand, is crafted to better fit the average driver with a more intuitive system. When it comes to standard features, automatic braking and lane assist in the Tesla Model Y don't compare to the 15+ features in the new Blazer EV.

Interior

Making use of the openness of electrified platforms, the new 2025 Blazer EV supports extensions for elevated comfort and modern technology. Settle into sculpted performance chairs with available heating, 10-way power adjustments, and Evotex seating surfaces. Raising the bar for what's the norm is the Blazer EV's standard 17.7-inch infotainment screen which offers the best experience when you opt for the available wireless phone charging pad. More notable tech in the new Blazer EV includes a head-up display, an auto-dimming rearview, and an 11-inch driver display.

The Model Y also promotes an open atmosphere, but in a way that is counterintuitive. The dash only looks clean and minimal because all physical controls have been consolidated to the center screen. This setup is both distracting and dangerous while on the road, making a task as simple as adjusting the temperature feel like jumping through hoops. Model Y buyers can look into getting a third row of seats, but as anyone can imagine, this option leaves the cabin extremely cramped and borderline unpleasant.

Bottom Line

The new 2025 Chevy Blazer EV is here to knock the Tesla Model Y off its pedestal, delivering an overall better experience for the same price range (if not lower). Feed your personal preference with 4 distinct powertrains and indulge in modern technology that's unique to its class.
