With the Bolt EV on hiatus, Chevy’s entry-level Equinox EV is poised to step in as a mainstream electric SUV until GM’s flagship model returns. It’s already a compelling offering, with reasonable efficiency and a comfortable ride.
Go City Chevy’s Chevrolet Equinox EV starts at $34,995 for a front-wheel drive LT with 319 miles of range. This puts it right in the thick of rivals, outdoing the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 but trailing the Tesla Model Y’s 285-mile estimate. All-wheel-drive models deliver slightly less range, at a predicted 285 miles.
We found both front- and all-wheel-drive Equinox EVs to be pleasant to drive, with confident acceleration and no battery-induced lag. Even the smallest model can get to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds, comparable to gas-powered compact SUV competitors. Moreover, Chevy includes its parent company’s trick Super Cruise system for long stretches of true hands-off driving.

Inside, a large digital dashboard display replaces most traditional gauges. A secondary touchscreen handles infotainment. While the base model doesn’t offer power-adjustable front seats or a sunroof, opting for higher LT trims or the sporty RS brings more equipment and a saucy Adrenaline Red interior theme. With the rear seat stowed, cargo room is a generous 57 cubic feet.
