Chevrolet Equinox EV to Start “Around $30,000”
Chevrolet has released further details on the 2024 Equinox EV, teased with a starting price of around $30,000. While exact price brackets are yet to be disclosed, we assume the $30K price tag will be for an entry-level 1LT trim with the standard front-wheel drive system and a standard range battery. There will be four additional trims, the 2LT, 3LT, 2RS and 3RS, each with standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive. The 1LT front-wheel drive standard range model is capable of an estimated 250 miles of range; it can be increased to 300 miles with an available larger battery option. The available eAWD drive system will see a slight dip to 280 miles. These drivetrains-- standard FWD and available eAWD-- and range estimates are universal across the line, barring the 1LT’s standard range battery. Models that are configured as FWD will displace an estimated 210 horsepower and 242 lb-ft of torque, whereas the eAWD system will bump that up to 290 ponies and 346 lb-ft. No matter the case, a one-pedal driving system is standard, as is a regenerative braking system. Even at its most basic level, the Equinox EV 1LT includes an 11-inch infotainment screen and a matching driver information center; however, powered and heated seats aren’t available until you step up to the 2LT trim. At this grade, a 17.7-inch infotainment screen becomes available. Higher trims will also include GM’s Super Cruise technology, allowing for hands-free driving on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads across the US and Canada.
