What's New for 2025?
The Equinox EV gets a huge $8,300 price cut across the board for 2025, whether you're looking at the front-drive or the AWD configuration. Chevy has also squeezed a bit more power and torque out of both configurations, notably reaching an even 300 hp with AWD, while the AWD version gets a juicy 22-mile boost in the range column. That means both Equinox EV powertrains now surpass the 300-mile range threshold.
FAST FACTS
"We're stretching the definition of 'Compact' to squeeze the Equinox EV into this segment, since it clearly competes with the others here on price and features. But keep in mind that the Chevy is significantly longer than most of its rivals, although it's slightly shorter than the Blazer EV, which notably has a much longer wheelbase (121.8 inches vs. 116.3). Focusing on price and range, though, there's no doubt that the Equinox EV is one of the best values going in electric SUVs. It's not exciting to drive, and it lacks the video-game acceleration that many rivals offer, but it's undeniably a lot of EV for the money. Like the Mach-E, however, its peak charge rate is a humble 150 kW, so it's a compromised road-tripper despite the gaudy maximum range."—Ranked #6 out of 12 Compact Electric SUVs
