February 20th, 2025 by

The Chevrolet Equinox EV is getting a lot of notice—mainly from you. You like its size, range, and the way it fits your lifestyle. The automotive press is also noticing the Equinox EV. In fact, the Green Car Reports website named it one of its finalists for the Best Car to Buy 2025 award.  

2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV Riptide Blue Metallic/Summit White

The main reason the Equinox EV is a finalist for this award is the availability of the lower-priced LT trim level. On this version, Chevrolet adds an 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack. In turn, the Equinox EV LT is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency for a range of 319 miles from a full battery. 

Green Car Reports states that with the Equinox EV, “[y]ou get a lot of car for the money—not just a lot of electric car for the money.” The contemporary design of the 2025 Equinox EV is sized perfectly for your lifestyle. All four doors and liftgate open wide for easy loading and unloading of passengers and cargo. You will appreciate the welcome lightning when the Equinox EV senses your arrival. 

Technology is what drives the 2025 Equinox EV. On higher trims, a massive 17.7-inch diagonal high-definition touchscreen display commands your attention. The screen is powered by Google Built-in, which brings a range of advanced interactive features, including Google Assistant voice controls, Google Play Store functions, Maps, and more—all without having to connect your smartphone. Additional connectivity also includes OnStar service that helps in case of an emergency or if you need any help with your Equinox EV.

Cargo space is generous, with 26.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats. With those seats folded down, you get a maximum of 57.2 cubic feet. The cargo floor is height-adjustable so that you can bring taller items home from the store.   

Keeping you on the road is standard with Chevy Safety Assist. This suite of features provides an extra layer of protection, including automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, forward collision alerts, following distance indicators, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warnings. It also comes standard with blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, reverse automatic braking, HD Surround Vision, rear parking sensors, and a safety alert seat system that vibrates when a warning is needed. Plus, you can equip your Equinox EV with the available Super Cruise. This system enables you to experience hands-free driving on nearly 750,000 miles of compatible roads.
