2025 CHEVY EQUINOX EV RS: LIVING WITH ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING & AFFORDABLE ELECTRIC SUVS!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV RS is presented as a highly impressive and affordable electric SUV, quickly becoming a bestseller and even the top-selling mainstream EV in America. The reviewer highlights its sleek, upscale, and aggressive design, particularly on the RS trim with its gloss black accents and 21-inch wheels. Inside, the cabin offers a surprisingly premium feel for its price point, featuring Evotex leatherette seats, a large 11-inch gauge cluster, and an available expansive head-up display. The spacious rear seat and cargo area are also noted as significant advantages. Driving dynamics are praised, with the dual-motor AWD system delivering ample power and a pleasurable, linear acceleration, a stark contrast to the gas-powered Equinox. Ride quality is deemed good, effectively soaking up road imperfections despite the large wheels. However, the review points out the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as a major drawback, pushing users towards the built-in Google system. Some interior plastics are considered cheap for the price, especially on higher trims. Despite these criticisms, the overall packaging, value, and standard features are lauded as a "slam dunk," making it a compelling option that the reviewer prefers over the gasoline Equinox and even questions the value proposition of the larger Blazer EV. The real-world range of 285 miles for the AWD model is considered competitive and achievable, supported by efficient energy consumption.
