2024 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV LT: THE BEST EV VALUE?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV 2LT is presented as a compelling value proposition in the electric vehicle market, with a starting MSRP of $43,295 (including destination). The reviewer highlights its smooth and comfortable ride, ample interior space, and a comprehensive suite of standard features, including a large 17.7-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in. Positives include the attractive exterior styling, the full LED lighting, and the practical cargo space (26.4 cu ft with seats up, 57.2 cu ft with seats down). However, the reviewer notes significant drawbacks: the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the absence of a front trunk, and the somewhat underwhelming acceleration from the 213 horsepower, front-wheel-drive powertrain, which can lead to noticeable torque steer under hard acceleration. The light interior color is also flagged as a potential issue for smudging and dirt. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that for its price point, the Equinox EV 2LT offers good value, especially when compared to the average EV price in the US, and encourages potential buyers to test drive it.
