THE 2024 CHEVY EQUINOX EV IS THE CHEAPEST NEW ELECTRIC CAR: IS IT ANY GOOD?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV presents a compelling value proposition, aiming to be the most affordable EV with significant range. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and user-friendly features, including physical climate controls and the Super Cruise hands-free driving system. While not the quickest EV, with a 0-60 mph time around 8 seconds for the front-wheel-drive model, its strengths lie in its impressive 319-mile EPA-estimated range and a starting price that, with potential incentives, dips below $30,000 for lower trims. The cargo space is adequate but slightly less than competitors like the Tesla Model Y. Downsides include the lack of a frunk and the placement of some steering wheel-mounted buttons, which can be awkward to access. Overall, the Equinox EV is positioned as a practical, comfortable, and value-focused electric crossover, particularly appealing to those prioritizing range and affordability over outright performance.
