When it comes to electric power, the Chevy Blazer EV Ss and the Kia EV6 GT are going head-to-head. These are not your average eco-friendly commuters; they’re designed to bring a big grin to their drivers’ faces when they press on the accelerator. One brings American muscle while the other delivers sleek precision, but which one do you want to see in your driveway?
Big, Punchy Power
Both the Blazer EV SS and the EV6 GT come out swinging with serious power. The Blazer SS delivers 557 horsepower and 684 pound-feet of torque, and the refreshed EV6 G6 now puts out 641 horsepower, which is a significant upgrade from the 576 horsepower of the 2025 model. But whether you’re looking for a new EV6 or you’re shopping for used cars and go with the previous model year, you’ll have plenty of power to play with.
Time to Spice Things Up
There is plenty of black trim inside and out, whether you’re looking at the Chevy or Kia. You’ll also get splashes of color with either of these SUVs. The Blazer’s front seats are covered in black synthetic leather and have all the bolstering you need to make sure you stay in place when testing out the handling around tight corners.
The EV6 makes sure you know you’re in a sports car with hints of neon green on the steering wheel, on the HVAC vents, and on the stitching on the seats.
Tech That Talks and Listens
These two EVs both come packed with tech features and you’ll control many of them via a large touchscreen. The Blazer EV SS has a 17.7-inch touchscreen that comes loaded with Google based software.
The EV6 GT has a dual-screen cockpit and an augmented reality head-up display with responsive voice controls that can understand you. You can ask your EV to turn up the heat or cool the cabin down. Need directions? Just ask, and your EV6GT or Blazer EV SS will deliver.
Both vehicles will quickly and seamlessly sync your smartphone and have over-the-air updates, so you’ll always have the latest software.
Fast, but Still Safe
Just because these EV pack a power punch, it doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten about your safety. Both come equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver aids, and the Blazer even has GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving technology.
The EV6 has Kia’s Highway Driving Assist 2 system, which uses an upgraded version of adaptive cruise control, lane-centering, and lane-change assist to help make driving on the highway less stressful.
If you’re looking for a thrill behind the wheel, you can shop for used cars, but a new Kia EV6 GT or new Blazer EV SS will deliver a big punch a power without harmful emissions. If you didn’t think you could get the performance you wanted from and EV, it’s time to take a few test drives and see what makes these tick.
