2024 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV is presented as a compelling entry into the affordable EV crossover market. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and quiet cabin, attributing much of this to its long wheelbase and well-managed NVH levels. The powertrain, while not overly powerful, is deemed sufficient for daily commuting, offering a smooth and responsive driving experience. A key positive is the standard Google Built-In system, which, despite the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, offers app integration and navigation. The Super Cruise system is praised for its effectiveness on highways. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the finicky flush door handles, the automatic tailgate that can open unintentionally, and some software 'growing pains' with the infotainment system, such as issues with app switching and podcast skipping. The lack of a front trunk (frunk) and the absence of a heads-up display and digital rearview mirror are noted as odd omissions for the price point. Despite these 'naggy things,' the reviewer concludes that the Equinox EV offers good value, ample space, and sufficient range, with potential for software updates to resolve current issues.
