2025 CHEVROLET EQUINOX EV LT AT THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT, showcased at the Chicago Auto Show, presents a compelling value proposition, especially with a starting price under $35,000. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly premium interior, featuring a two-tone design with contrasting stitching and high-quality "evotex" materials, which significantly elevate the cabin experience beyond typical expectations for Chevrolet. Attention to detail is noted in elements like the full-width light bars and hidden headlights. Practicality is also a strong suit, offering ample cargo space comparable to older SUVs, with a notable underfloor storage area, though the lack of a front trunk is mentioned. On the downside, the reviewer found the seating position not the most comfortable and noted that while the large screens are visually impressive, the exclusion of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a significant drawback. The placement of the wireless charger within a large cubby is also criticized for hindering storage utility. Despite these points, the Equinox EV LT is positioned as a well-executed, stylish, and feature-rich EV option for the mainstream market.
