Episode 424: 2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS, 2025 Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two, Listener Questions

·1 hr·4 clips

The Blazer SS uses a 102-kWh battery, 615 horsepower, and a 3.4-second 0-60 sprint.

Sami opens the show. He and Benjamin trade the usual banter, joke about spooky-season bylines, and spend a moment arguing over the word "content" before the car talk takes over. The Blazer SS comes up early. They dig into whether Chevrolet is promising more range than the vehicle can realistically deliver once temperature, highway speed, and a 6,000-pound vehicle enter the picture. The numbers get practical fast. They compare the Blazer SS with road-trip conditions on secondary roads and note that a bigger battery does not automatically fix efficiency when the vehicle is still hauling serious mass. That turns into a wider complaint. Benjamin and Sami worry that if mainstream Chevrolet EVs depend on huge batteries to look competitive, the brand may be teaching buyers the wrong lesson about what acceptable range should mean. The Sierra Denali comparison sharpens the point. They use it to show how an enormous battery can still sit under a vehicle that does not feel especially efficient, even if the market tends to reward the headline number. The discussion stays skeptical. They do not call the Blazer SS a failure, but they do not dress it up as a breakthrough either, which leaves the segment feeling more like a real ownership conversation than a launch recap. The hosts then widen the frame. They bring in the Ioniq 5N as the nearest comparison and use it to measure price, size, weight, and the lack of an easy apples-to-apples answer. A separate comparison gets a brief mention, and listener questions round things out. They open the floor for emails, remind listeners how to submit, and tease future conversations about the Lucid Air and the Acura ADX. The closing is plainspoken. It leaves the episode feeling like a working notebook from two car people who care more about what the numbers mean than about sounding impressed.

As heard by us

Range, weight, weather, and a lighter rival put the Blazer SS under a practical lens.

The episode treats the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS as a real-world range check, not a badge exercise. Range, weight, weather, and highway speed all sit in the same frame, which makes the discussion feel useful instead of glossy.
