Welcome the 2024 Chevrolet EQUINOX EV, the brand's very first 100% electric SUV. The Equinox EV now slips alongside the Silverado EV, Blazer EV, as well as the Bolt EV and EUV. General Motors is therefore taking another step in its mission to become a completely electric brand by 2030.
Performance and autonomy
As we already knew, the Equinox EV will use GM's Ultium platform, specially designed to accommodate the automaker's electric vehicles.
This electric SUV will be available in five versions ranging from 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS models. In terms of power, two battery choices will be offered. The smaller battery will therefore produce 210 horsepower with 242 lb-ft of torque, while the second battery will develop 290 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque.
Autonomy is estimated at 480 kilometers, but it will drop to 450 kilometers for the all-wheel-drive version. GM said it wants to use the most compact set of batteries, so as not to distort the dimensions of the vehicle.
The Equinox EV will offer 11.5 kW of on-board charging, allowing it to gain 54 kilometers in an hour. It can also accept a fast charge of 150 kW, allowing it to recover 112 kilometers in ten minutes.
American-inspired exterior appearance
The Equinox EV offers us an elegant design, slender and sporty lines and brilliantly combines the look of cars from the 1960s and 1970s with the appearance of today's cars. We can spot a few modern touches, including front and rear lighting animations, and distinguished-looking recessed door handles.
Note that the LT version will be delivered with a white roof, and that the RS version will have access to the black color. Then, the size of the rims will vary between 19 and 21 inches.
A modern interior
As for its interior, it offers space for five passengers and a large cargo volume for optimal use. You can see sporty lines and a rather modern look, thanks to its optional 11-inch or 17.7-inch multimedia screen. Note that heated front and rear seats, as well as customizable ambient lighting come in option.
Regarding its utility volume, 1620 liters are available when the rear seats are folded down.
Abundance of technologies
Of course, the Equinox EV will benefit from the latest connectivity technologies and GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system, which is available on certain models. In addition, you no longer need keys to start your vehicle thanks to the hands-free start system. Your Equinox EV can detect your presence when you are near the vehicle and start intuitively.
In addition, this electric SUV will be equipped with the Chevrolet Safety Assist suite, to ensure the safest driving experience. In addition, reverse automatic braking, collision avoidance alert and more will also be offered.
The 2024 Equinox EV will be available in Fall 2023 with the 2RS model, however in limited quantities. So reserve your Equinox EV today with our experts at Chevrolet Buick GMC Ile Perrot.
