2025 CHEVY EQUINOX EV LT: THE $34,995 EQUINOX EV HAS ARRIVED

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV 1LT, priced at $34,995, arrives as the most affordable entry into the electric SUV segment. This base model, featured in Riptide Blue Metallic with a black cloth interior, offers a compelling value proposition, especially considering its standard 85 kWh battery pack providing an estimated 319 miles of EPA range and 150 kW DC fast charging. The interior boasts a large 17.7-inch infotainment screen with Google integration and a 11-inch digital cluster, along with essential driver assistance features like blind-spot detection and adaptive cruise control. However, to achieve this price point, compromises are evident. The steering wheel is a hard urethane, seats are manually adjusted, and some comfort features like heated seats and a heated steering wheel are optional. Notably, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are absent due to the integrated Google system. Despite these cost-saving measures, the spacious interior and ample cargo capacity remain strong points. The reviewer highlights that while this base model is well-equipped for its price, optional packages can add desirable features, and potential buyers should also consider 2024 models which may offer better value with discounts and incentives.
