Trim Levels
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is available in LT and RS trim levels. The LT features a cleaner exterior treatment with LED lighting, 19-inch wheels, and a smooth front fascia designed around aerodynamic efficiency rather than exaggerated EV styling clichés. The RS takes a noticeably different visual direction with darker exterior accents, unique badging, and larger 21-inch wheels that give the Chevrolet Equinox EV a much more assertive appearance. Chevrolet also adds RS-specific exterior details that create a lower, sportier visual character. Both trims feature flush exterior styling elements, sculpted body panels, and lighting designs that separate the Chevrolet Equinox EV from the gasoline Chevrolet Equinox lineup.
Performance
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV uses Chevrolet’s Ultium battery architecture and offers both front-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations. Front-wheel-drive versions produce 220 horsepower and 242 lb.-ft. of torque. Dual-motor all-wheel-drive models increase output to 300 horsepower and 346 lb.-ft. of torque. Front-wheel-drive configurations deliver an estimated driving range of up to 513 kilometres on a full charge, while all-wheel-drive models provide up to 494 kilometres. DC fast charging can add approximately 112 kilometres of range in around 10 minutes under ideal conditions. Level 2 charging supports convenient overnight charging at home. The battery sits low within the structure, which helps reduce body movement through corners and gives the Chevrolet Equinox EV a more stable feel than many taller compact SUVs. Instant torque delivery also gives the Chevrolet Equinox EV quick responses in urban traffic.
Features and Technology
A 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen and an 11-inch digital Driver Information Centre come standard across the lineup. Google built-in compatibility integrates navigation, apps, and voice controls directly into the system. Wireless smartphone integration and wireless phone charging reduce cable clutter around the cabin. The LT features durable cloth seating materials and a straightforward interior layout that suits everyday family use well. The RS upgrades to Evotex seating materials and introduces multi-colour ambient lighting that gives the cabin a noticeably different atmosphere at night. Dual-zone automatic climate control helps maintain consistent cabin temperatures, while heated seating enhances comfort in cold weather. Cargo capacity expands to 1,620 litres with the rear seats folded. Standard driver-assistance technology includes automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance, while available Super Cruise adds hands-free driving capability on compatible highways.
