Chevrolet’s all-electric Equinox EV is tailored to help customers make a seamless, confident, and uncompromising transition to an EV. The Equinox EV rounds out an electric Chevy portfolio that covers major segments, including full-size trucks, midsize SUVs, and compact SUVs. The Equinox EV boasts an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles on FWD models.
“We are at a turning point where EVs will be the mainstream choice for the next generation of customers, and Equinox EV will lead this charge for us,” said Mary Barra, Chair and CEO of General Motors. “With the flexibility of GM’s Ultium Platform, we are bringing to market vehicles at nearly every price point and for every purpose.”
Pricing and Availability
Today, the Equinox EV has a starting MSRP of $43,295. The base Equinox EV LT, with a starting MSRP of $34,995, will be available for ordering later in the year.
“Chevrolet is now positioned to offer a wide array of EVs,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “We know truck and SUV customers better than anyone and we’ve channeled that insight and experience into our new EVs.”
Design and Features
With the Equinox EV, designers and engineers focused on style, space, safety, and value attributes that made the gas-powered Equinox second to the Silverado in Chevy sales. They elevated these attributes with expressive design, electrifying capability, and effortless EV technology.
Key features include a large, 17.7-inch-diagonal infotainment screen, a strong suite of standard and available driver assistance technologies, and available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance technology on compatible roads.
“The Equinox EV is an EV for everyone,” said Bell. “It’s an affordable game-changer, offering an uncompromising experience with more features, that won’t change your daily routine — except that you will no longer have to stop at the gas station.”
Expressive Design
The Equinox EV’s expressive design has an athletic, bold, and commanding appearance that is instantly recognizable as a Chevy SUV. Two distinctive personalities — LT and RS — are offered in both FWD and AWD drive configurations.
Highlights include:
Inside, a streamlined and modern interior offers room for five, available personalized multi-color ambient lighting, and a smart infotainment system with Google Built-in, which includes Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store. The spacious cabin features numerous storage solutions and up to 57.2 cubic feet of max cargo room with the rear seat folded.
When it comes to comfort and convenience, heated front and rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, and a heated windshield wiper park feature are available.
Effortless EV Tech and More
Chevrolet is committed to making the EV transition seamless with support such as available navigation and route planning through the MyChevrolet app, which helps locate and plot routes to charging stations. Customers have access to over 174,000 public chargers throughout the U.S. and Canada via the MyChevrolet mobile vehicle app.
“Chevrolet has your back with every aspect of the EV experience,” said Bell. “The Equinox EV has the range to take you where you want to go, the spaciousness for your passengers and gear, and technology to do it all comfortably and confidently.”
Safety and Capability
Chevrolet knows safety is a top priority for families, and the Equinox EV delivers with a strong list of standard features:
Additionally, Super Cruise, the industry’s first true hands-free driver-assistance technology, is also available. It allows drivers to travel hands-free on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads across the U.S. and Canada.
Electrifying Capability
A standard front-wheel-drive system with GM estimated 213 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque offers quick acceleration and a fun driving experience for everyday tasks, with a 288-horsepower and 333 lb-ft torque eAWD system available.
One-Pedal Driving is standard and allows the Equinox EV to accelerate and slow to a full stop using only the accelerator. It’s paired with regenerative braking, which can convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle’s forward momentum into electricity that’s stored in the battery pack to maximize the driving range.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV also features the latest in charging technology:
GM covers the Equinox EV’s battery with an 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty, in addition to the vehicle’s standard bumper-to-bumper coverage for added peace of mind.
Available for Fleet and Retail Customers
As with the new Blazer EV and Silverado EV, the Equinox EV also offers fleet customers the benefits of zero-emissions driving, zero gas stops, and the opportunity for reduced maintenance.
“Chevy’s fleet customers have EV goals, and the all-new Equinox EV helps achieve them,” said Bell. “With some putting more than 20,000 miles a year on their vehicles, it can help them save time at the pump and gas money.”
The Equinox EV is available now and is produced at GM’s Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, production facility.
