The holiday spirit at West Chevrolet has us excited about the 2024 Chevy Equinox EV! This model chisels its place in a fast-growing market segment with an arsenal of qualifications that appeal to the eco-conscious customer.
Boasting newly contoured sheet metal inspired by the all-new Blazer EV and Silverado EV, its arrival signifies a notable turning point where EVs will become the sensible mainstream choice for consumers. The Ultium Platform will offer the ability to bring these vehicles to the market’s forefront with an agreeable price point for every customer. The 2024 Equinox EV offers seating for five and up to 57 cubic feet of holiday-haul cargo room directly behind the rear seats. It will arrive here and at other dealers nationwide in the fall of 2023, and will offer the 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, 2RS, and 3RS as trim levels.
The entry-level 1LT with FWD is an excellent choice that stands firmly rooted against competition such as the VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Power is sourced from a single front-mounted electric motor that offers up to 210 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of torque, along with a battery that provides 250 miles of range. This option can be upgraded to a 300-mile option. One upgrade that provides the best and most capable of today’s consumer-friendly EV technology is the dual-motor variant that offers all-wheel grip, 290 horsepower, and 346 lb-ft of torque.
One of the features that have become available over the last 3 years that has made a difference in the broad appeal and overall efficiency is regenerative braking, which offers one-pedal driving and excellent use of leftover kinetic energy. Many of the questions that customers have during the EV selection process are regarding charging. This Equinox EV accepts up to 150 kilowatts of DC fast charging to provide 70 miles of range in a lightning-fast 10 minutes. The MyChevy app and Ultium Charge 360 can provide locations for charging stations and give you the opportunity to effectively plan your route.
Discerning buyers who have always appreciated the upper echelon will have their eyes on the Equinox EV 3RS eAWD, with a 19.2 kW level 2 charger that can provide 51 miles of range per hour during the charging process. The 1LT provides manual front seats, 19-inch aluminum wheels, and an 11-inch infotainment touchscreen.
The 2LT trim is where quality steps up a notch with the 8-way power driver’s seat, a heated tiller, roof rails, a front LED light bar, and a much larger 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen. Moving up to the 3LT trim offers dual-zone automatic climate control, 21-inch wheels, heated mirrors, and adaptive cruise control. More safety features than ever are now available across the entire Equinox lineup, as automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist provide watchful and high-tech eyes during your festive holiday drive.
