2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV REVIEW: FINALLY THE AFFORDABLE EV?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is presented as a strong contender for an affordable electric utility vehicle, particularly in the US market where its pricing is highly competitive. The review highlights a significant power boost for 2025, with AWD models reaching 300 horsepower and FWD models offering 220 horsepower, alongside impressive range figures of up to 319 miles (FWD). Standard features are generous, including a large 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built-in and an 11-inch driver display. Positives include the comfortable ride for front occupants, spacious interior, good storage, and the value proposition. However, criticisms point to a firm rear suspension that can feel bumpy, a dark headliner contributing to a claustrophobic feel (though a sunroof is available), and the absence of Apple CarPlay, which is a significant drawback for some users. The hidden door handles are also noted as a disliked design element. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Equinox EV offers substantial value, especially considering its price point and standard equipment.
