Also, check out those ridiculously nice outboard dashboard air vents, they look like something you’d see on a posh Mercedes-Benz, properly lovely stuff. While the massive fake grille, black wheels, and black wheel arches aren’t my style, they’ll undoubtedly appeal to EV shoppers who want a more aggressive look.Ĭomplementing pleasing exterior styling, the interior of the Equinox EV looks properly nice too, with a nice mix of textures, plenty of physical controls for stuff like stereo volume and climate control, and a roomy-looking floating center console with tiered storage. The Equinox EV will also be offered in sporty RS trim which features a bevy of appearance tweaks. Minor straight-on rear-end parking bumps will damage the tailgate rather than just the bumper cover, which could lead to higher repair bills. However, the rear styling does come with a downside. In addition, the bottom of the tailgate looks to be nice and low which should really help with loading and unloading cargo.

While it would be nice if the charging port was located curbside to make better use of curbside charging options, locating the charging door on the driver’s fender should minimize time out in the snow plugging in and unplugging the Equinox EV.Īround the back, funky heckblende taillights are a nice touch, while locating the license plate low down on the bumper continues the Equinox’s sleek and refined appearance. Extra kudos go to the extremely restrained use of plastic cladding on 3LT models, the body-color wheel arches really help add an upscale appearance without making the Equinox look massive. Chevrolet has been very careful not to overstyle this crossover, with just a handful of sharp creases and a few well-placed contours adding plenty of depth to the vehicle’s shape without making it feel busy. Moving along to the profile of the Equinox, the good design touches continue. It also looks like it’s in the same family as the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. It’s a really sleek front end that shouldn’t alienate mainstream buyers. A slim available light bar and small headlights hidden in the front fascia trim give the Equinox EV a really nifty Geordi La Forge visor appearance, exactly the sort of familiar yet futuristic look I want in an EV. Let’s start by looking at the front of the Equinox EV, where things seem all well and good. Not only does it adopt a popular compact crossover form, Chevrolet’s claiming an incredibly low starting price of around $30,000. The new Chevrolet Equinox EV, on the other hand, might.

While products like the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq certainly have star power, they won’t help much with getting everyday car buyers on board with the electric future. General Motors is intent on making a big splash in the EV arena.
