Chevrolet Equinox EV: Affordable & Functional Electric SUV

May 25, 2024

Chevrolet's all-electric Equinox EV is designed to help customers transition smoothly and confidently to an electric vehicle (EV). This model completes Chevrolet's electric portfolio, covering major segments like full-size trucks, midsize SUVs, and compact SUVs. The Equinox EV offers an EPA-estimated range of 319 miles on front-wheel-drive (FWD) models, providing a balance of performance, style, and practicality for the modern driver.

An EV for the Next Generation

"We are at a turning point where EVs will be the mainstream choice for the next generation of customers, and the Equinox EV will lead this charge for us," said Mary Barra, Chair and CEO of General Motors. The Equinox EV utilizes GM's flexible Ultium Platform, bringing vehicles to market at various price points and purposes. The starting MSRP is $43,295, with the base LT model starting at $34,995, available later this 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."

Stylish and Functional Design

The Equinox EV features an athletic, bold, and commanding appearance, instantly recognizable as a Chevrolet SUV. It is available in two distinctive personalities: LT and RS, both offered in FWD and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations.

Key design highlights include:

  • Sleek lines and sporty proportions enabled by the Ultium Platform
  • Innovative walk-up lighting with front and rear lighting animation
  • Standard 19-inch wheels, with available 21-inch wheels depending on the trim
  • Available AutoSense liftgate for hands-free access
  • Two-tone white roof on LT and black roof on RS

Inside, the Equinox EV offers a modern interior with room for five, personalized multi-color ambient lighting, and a smart infotainment system with Google Built-in, including Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store. The spacious cabin provides numerous storage solutions and up to 57.2 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seat folded. Comfort features include heated front and rear outboard seats, a heated steering wheel, and a heated windshield wiper park feature.

Effortless EV Technology

Chevrolet ensures a seamless transition to EVs with features like navigation and route planning through the MyChevrolet app, which helps locate and plot routes to charging stations. GM is also working to accelerate the installation of accessible public charging throughout North America. Through the MyChevrolet mobile vehicle app, customers have access to over 174,000 public chargers across the U.S. and Canada.
