Overview
Although it wears the Equinox nameplate, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV bears little else in common with that compact SUV. Not the least of which its powertrain, which swaps gasoline power for electrons. The Equinox EV’s exterior styling blends futuristic touches with more traditional crossover design cues, and it looks pretty cool. Chevy hasn’t yet released many details about the new SUV, but we expect a driving range of close to 300 miles per charge. Unlike the smaller Bolt EUV, we expect all-wheel drive to be an option on the Equinox EV, which likely means dual electric motors and slightly more power than the 200-hp Bolt.
What’s New for 2024?
The Equinox EV will be an all-new, all-electric model when it joins the Chevrolet lineup in fall 2023 as a 2024 model.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
So far, only the LT and RS trim levels have been announced, but Chevy could expand the lineup with a base LS or a top-level Premier trim closer to the Equinox EV’s on-sale date. Pricing isn’t official, but we’re told to expect a starting price around $30,000.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Few details have been shared about the Equinox EV’s interior, but from the photos we can see a digital dashboard similar to that of the recently revealed Silverado EV and styling themes that mirror the Bolt EV hatchbackand Bolt EUV crossover. Front passenger space looks similar to the current Equinox, but we’ll have to wait for more details and a test drive to know for sure.
