Chevy 2025 Equinox EV Review

2025 Chevy Equinox EV range drew inspiration from the Equinox EV’s conventional gas sibling to create a distinctive look. A low roofline and a wide glass area for the front windows give it a sleek profile, while a rear half-window helps optimize the battery pack underneath.

The base LT front-wheel drive model starts at $34,995, and the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is priced a bit higher at $40,295. Opt for either of two Convenience packages that include a heated steering wheel, HD surround-view camera system, rear pedestrian warnings, and a dual-pane panoramic sunroof for $4,355 more. Chevrolet is also offering a Driver Assistance package with lane-keep assist, self-parking, and pedestrian detection.

During my week with the Equinox EV, it felt like Chevy’s engineers paid a lot of attention to ride quality and handling. The result is a smooth, polished driving experience that easily bests the Kia Niro EV and Tesla Model 3. Even though it’s not a performance car by any stretch of the imagination, our testing showed it can zip to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 16.2 sec, and stop from 60 mph in 121 feet.

On a longer commute, I appreciated the fact that the default one-pedal mode used only engine braking when possible. It helped maximize range, and I only turned the system off because of my desire to use a steering-wheel paddle for additional deceleration. I also liked the fact that GM hasn’t messed with a good thing by removing the option for drivers to call up additional deceleration via the standard touchscreen. This feature was a big selling point in the Bolt EV, and it’s still available here.
