2025 Chevrolet
Equinox EV

Powertrain, Trims, and Performance

The five-passenger, all-electric 2025 Chevy Equinox EV is made in three trim packages, LT 1, LT 2, and RS. The base powertrain unites one motor with a front-wheel drivetrain (FWD) and puts out 220 horsepower. A 300-horsepower dual-motor powerplant and all-wheel drivetrain (AWD) combination is also available for all three trims.

Real EV beauty comes to light with an EPA-estimated 319 miles of range with the FWD powertrain and 307 with the AWD. The Equinox EV also maximizes efficiency with Regen on Demand, a system that captures the energy created by braking and converts it to battery electricity. The one-pedal driving feature allows you to slow and stop just by lifting your foot off the accelerator.

Standard and Optional Features

A solid list of features gets the LT 1 off and running with remote start, proximity keyless entry, fabric upholstery, automatic climate control, manually adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split flat-folding second-row including a retractable center console, an 11-inch digital display, two data and two charging USB-C ports, a complete LED exterior lighting package (headlights, daytime running lights, and taillights), power-adjustable exterior mirrors, and rear privacy glass. The LT 2 is eligible for a two-tone exterior, plus it adds heated front seats, EvoTex upholstery, wireless device charging, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with four-way power lumbar support, a heated and wrapped steering wheel, heated power-adjustable exterior mirrors, an AutoSense power liftgate, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, illuminated visor mirrors, roof rails with a bright finish, interior ambient lighting with multiple colors, and a center lit bar. It’s also set up for easier towing with trailer pre-wiring and the Hitch View and Hitch Guidance features. The RS upgrades to a wrapped and heated flat-bottomed steering wheel.

The LT 1 can be enhanced significantly with the optional Comfort Package (heated front seats, eight-way power driver’s-seat with lumbar support, and a heated steering wheel). The LT 2 qualifies for the Convenience Package II (heated and ventilated front seats with lumbar support, heated rear outboard seats, driver’s-side memory, a head-up display, LED exterior lighting, 21-inch aluminum wheels, Evotex upholstery, two zones of auto climate control, a rear camera mirror and washer, walk-up lighting, and more).  The Lifestyle Package offers black rooftop cross rails, a cargo carrier mount, and a trailer-hitch closeout, and the All-Weather Mat Package adds surface protection with all-weather floor mats and a cargo area liner. A dual-pane power sunroof and universal home remote are offered for the two highest trims.

Advanced Safety Technology

The 2025 Equinox EV exemplifies Chevrolet’s dedication to safety with its standard driver-assist features. The list includes automatic emergency braking with front pedestrian/bicyclist detection and intersection assist, IntelliBeam automatic high beams, forward collision alert, and a following distance indicator. You’ll also get adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic and reverse automatic braking, and blind-zone steering assist.

The LT 2 and RS add HD Surround Vision, rear pedestrian alert, and traffic sign recognition, all of which are optional for the LT 1 through the Active Safety Package 2. The two higher trims qualify for the Active Safety Package 3, with automatic parking assistance plus three years of Chevy’s Super Cruise hands-free driving technology and Digital Services by OnStar.

Entertainment and Connectivity

The class-largest 17.7-inch touchscreen infotainment system makes a statement in the 2025 Equinox EV. It’s based on Google built-in technology, including Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store, and also gets SiriusXM satellite radio, onboard navigation, hands-free Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, natural voice recognition, and a six-speaker audio system. Access to a 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot (subscription based) is standard as well.
