2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV LT FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV 2LT FWD is presented as a family-friendly electric SUV, with the review focusing heavily on its practicality for road trips and child seat installation. The exterior styling elicits mixed reactions, with some appreciating its distinctiveness and others finding the Riptide Blue Metallic color unappealing. Inside, the "Sky Cool Gray" interior with its ombre accents is noted, but the bright white dashboard and shiny trim can be glaring. A significant drawback highlighted is the absence of Apple CarPlay, which is considered a deal-breaker by the reviewer, despite the functionality of Google Maps and Ways. The spacious rear seating and ease of child seat installation (both rear-facing and forward-facing) are major positives for families. Ride quality is described as "medium," a bit bouncy, and not ideal on rough pavement. The reviewer also experienced issues with the turn signal and visibility due to the large A-pillars. Super Cruise functionality is praised for its extensive coverage but criticized for occasional aggressive lane changes and unexpected disengagements. Real-world range averaged around 3 miles per kWh, falling short of the EPA estimate. Despite its flaws, the Equinox EV is considered a decent value at its as-tested price of $50,540, especially when compared to competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, offering features like heated/ventilated seats and a head-up display.
