2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV Preview

All of GM’s recent EVs are based on the same basic architecture or building-blocks, which GM calls Ultium. Honda has also based its two new EVs, the Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue, on this platform, although it has since announced that it will end the partnership and go its own way on any future EVs.

Before any tax credits, pricing for the 2025 Equinox EV begins at $34,995 for the base front-wheel-drive LT version, with the RS FWD starting at $44,795. The LT with AWD starts at $40,295 and the RS AWD starts at $49,090.

If you’re a Consumer Reports member, our initial expert assessment of the Chevrolet Equinox EV is available to you below. Once we complete 2,000 break-in miles, we’ll put the new compact all-electric SUV through more than 50 tests at the CR Auto Test Center, including empirical measurements of acceleration, braking, handling, car-seat fit, and usability. CR members will have access to the full road-test results as soon as they’re available.
