The rise in EV popularity doesn't mean the end for gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles. Instead, a vehicle like the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV harmoniously lives alongside its fuel-powered sibling, carrying plenty of its DNA and taking inspiration from its name. However, it's an SUV built to cater to a different audience. The audience that Chevy accommodates with the 2025 Equinox EV is the crowd searching for a luxurious SUV that provides a beautiful and spacious interior, has excellent performance, and is powered by nothing more than electricity from a battery alongside electric motors. It's a mark that Chevy hits with precision, as the 2025 Equinox EV is one of the best BEVs on the market.

Chevy is a legendary manufacturer with a history of influential vehicles. Many people have switched to BEVs, and Chevy's passion for innovation means the 2025 Equinox EV has what it takes to influence many more to make the jump. Regardless if you've never owned an electric vehicle of any variety, the 2025 Equinox EV is an excellent choice.

Performance

Powertrains

Performance is one of the most impressive aspects of the 2025 Equinox EV. The power of the Equinox EV's battery and motor output gives the SUV a performance kick that was once unthinkable. With the base configuration, the 2025 Equinox EV is equipped with an 85 kWh battery and a single motor, creating a combined output of 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. Models carrying the single motor operate on a Front-Wheel Drivetrain (FWD), and the travel range is exceptional, getting up to 319 miles on a full charge.

The other 2025 Equinox EV powertrain uses the same battery but with an additional motor. The dual motor setup provides an excellent performance boost, with equipped models outputting 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque – an increase of 36% and 46%, respectively. You'll notice more power, but the 2025 Equinox EV remains a smooth ride with a responsive acceleration not commonly found on gasoline-powered compact SUVs. All-wheel drive (AWD) comes standard with Equinox EV models equipped with dual motors, making handling better, especially on wet surfaces. A fully-charged battery on dual-motor models can achieve up to 285 miles of distance traveled, which is an understandable trade-off for the leap in performance.

For the average commuter, even those who drive upwards of 50 miles a day, the 2025 Equinox EV could last for a week between charges. It's unnecessary to go that long without a charge because you can conveniently charge for it each night when you get home. A Level 1 charger comes standard, but for the fastest at-home results, an optional Level 2 charger operating under 240V of power delivers up to 11.5 kW of charging.

Charging

In public, you can charge your 2025 Equinox EV at dedicated charging stations, which you may find at various shopping centers, airports, movie theaters, and more. The speed of the chargers and their placements around areas with things to do regularly means you aren't sitting around waiting for your car to charge. The Equinox EV can charge up to 150 kW at public charging stations for the most effective charging. However, having the option to charge at home is a big difference between owning a gasoline-powered car that requires a trip to a gas station for fuel.

Plugging the 2025 Equinox EV into a power source isn't the only way to intermittently add travel range to your vehicle's battery, as there are several ways to regain energy while driving or reduce the amount of energy used. For example, Regen on Demand banks the kinetic energy captured by your vehicle's wheels when you apply the brakes, and the energy is recycled into power for your Equinox EV to utilize.

To reduce the energy spent while driving, One Pedal Driving is a feature that eliminates the need for the brake pedal unless for emergencies. Simply gently press on the pedal to begin moving, press down harder to gain more speed, and once you ease your foot off the pedal, you'll progressively slow down. Again, the kinetic energy from slowing your vehicle down is placed back into your battery for additional mileage.

Interior

The 2025 Equinox EV is one of the most feature-rich Chevy vehicles. Inside the SUV, a 6-way manual driver's seat is standard, though the base model offers an 8-way power-adjustable seat that comes standard with the RS. The power-adjustable chair comes standard with 2-way power-adjustable lumbar controls, which are also available for the front-seat passenger. Both trims offer a heated steering wheel, but the RS' steering wheel is a flat-bottom design, creating a sporty appearance. The material of your seats is either cloth or an available Evotex.

Both of the 2025 Equinox EV trims can be fitted with the available Convenience Package II. With the package equipped, the front-seat passenger's chair becomes a 6-way power-adjustable seat with 2-way power-lumbar controls, and both front seats are heated and ventilated. The Convenience Package II is also great if you share your Equinox EV with a household member, thanks to memory presets for both the driver seat position and side-view mirrors.

Other features included with the package include a rear camera mirror you can activate to show you what's behind your car without the view obstruction from the rear row––a built-in washer is included to keep the lens clean from dirt, grime, and other debris. A Head-Up display is added with the Convenience Package II, along with 21-inch wheels, LED headlights, and LED daytime running lamps, making your presence on the road more known without interfering with another driver's vision. Dual-zone automatic climate control is available for the 2025 Equinox EV and is a part of the package. This feature allows each side of the cabin to have individualized climate controls.

Infotainment

Your 2025 Equinox EV's dashboard won't feature traditional analog gauges because Chevy has taken an all-digital approach to keep with the contemporary theme of the BEV. Chevy's answer is a standard 11-inch Driver Information Center to display your vehicle's status, from your fuel capacity, speedometer, odometer, display any warnings or indicators, show you the current time, weather, date, the song that's currently playing on your radio, and more.

Directly to the right of the Driver Information Center is a masterclass in infotainment tech: a 17.7-inch screen adorns the front-end assembly, and a physical volume knob is positioned to the top-left of it, which is a welcomed feature that makes reducing your volume easily accessible rather than interacting with a touchscreen.

The infotainment center has Google built-in, which lends it smartphone-esque functionality. Thanks to Chevy opting for Google built-in, the infotainment center is instantly treated to features like navigation software and a dedicated app store for external apps that aren't standard, like Waze navigation and Spotify, two popular installs. The 2025 Equinox EV also comes standard with 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability for high-speed wireless internet access wherever you bring your vehicle.

Safety

Driver-Assist Features

Chevy's lineup offers some of the most innovative safety tech in the industry. The 2025 Equinox EV receives lofty expectations from fans and critics owing to its traditionally high-tech underpinnings, and Chevy delivers again with exceptional safety features standard with each one. Chevy Safety Assist is the manufacturer's crown jewel of assistive tech built upon layers of intricate software, cameras, and sensors.

More than a handful of safety features come standard with the 2025 Equinox EV, including Forward Collision Alert. Forward Collision Alert allows the Equinox EV to identify front-facing obstructions and warn you to apply the brakes to avoid causing a collision. Obstructions may be a vehicle parked at a red light that you're incautiously approaching or even a pedestrian who chose to cross the street without a crosswalk present. Automatic Emergency Braking is standard to prevent and mitigate the damage from colliding with vehicles ahead of you, and Front Pedestrian Braking does the same, but for people outside of a car. With the addition of Intersection Auto Emergency Braking, your vehicle will stop if a driver speeds through a red light at a four-way intersection.

Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning comes standard with the 2025 Equinox EV. If you begin to accidentally enter the wrong lane by driving over the markings and you aren't utilizing either turn signal, your 2025 Equinox EV notifies you that you need to correct your steering. If you're unable to correct your steering swiftly enough after receiving the warning, the vehicle slightly adjusts your steering to help bring you back into your intended lane. With Chevy Safety Assist standard, each 2025 Equinox EV is equipped with IntelliBeam automatic high beams. When no cars are heading in your direction, your Equinox EV's high beams turn on to increase your vision in low-light situations, and when a vehicle is detected, the lights will turn off before reactivating once the road ahead is clear.

The last standard feature of Chevy Safety Assist is a Following Distance Indicator. If you're driving behind another vehicle and it stops, the Following Distance Indicator tells you how many seconds are between you and the other vehicle. The Following Distance Indicator is useful if you opt for using Adaptive Cruise Control because it regulates speed based on the time metric detected by the Following Distance Indicator. An optional safety feature is Enhanced Auto Parking Assist, which is an automatic parallel parking software so that you never have to deal with that annoying task again. Available HD Surround Vision, which is a high-quality camera feed showing your surroundings, even from a top-down view, makes reversing out of a parking space less dangerous.

Super Cruise

The Equinox EV launching around when Chevy Super Cruise began rolling out couldn't have been better timing because the two are a match made in heaven. Chevy Super Cruise is a software that offers hands-free driving on a huge network of compatible highways and roads across North America. Over 750,000 miles of roads have been registered to Super Cruise, and when you're driving your 2025 Equinox EV on any compatible road, the top of your steering wheel reveals a solid green bar indicating the road works with Super Cruise.

Once you've activated Super Cruise, your Equinox EV handles the trip as long as you stay on compatible roads. If you want to switch lanes, flick the turn signal on left or right, and your car intelligently waits for an opportune time to shift over. The vehicle will change lanes independently if driving around stopped vehicles is an available option. Features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering are heavily utilized while you're driving with Super Cruise activated, and it also works when you're towing.
