New Chevrolet Equinox EV Inventory

The rise in popularity of electric vehicles has resulted in nearly every manufacturer scrambling to enter the EV segment over the last few years. Chevrolet has been producing EVs since its PHEV Volt in 2010 and the Spark EV in 2013, giving the company an advantage over other brands late to the party. 

As a result, Chevrolet has positioned itself well with its latest EV lineup. You can get the Blazer, Silverado pickup, and Equinox in gas or all-electric powertrain configurations. This article explores how the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV will revolutionize people's thoughts about EVs.

Trims & Features

Chevrolet makes the Equinox in five trims, each with unique features designed to appeal to various buyers. Here's a look at each trim's highlights.

2024 Chevrolet Equinox 1LT

The base-model Equinox 1LT is nicely equipped with 19-inch wheels and a front-wheel-drive standard that achieves up to 319 miles on a full charge. Opting for AWD improves traction, but range drops. Inside, you have a 17.7-inch display touch screen with the necessary smartphone connectivity. Plus, the 1LT has a suite of driver assistance tech to help you drive safely. You also get an 11-inch driver information center and an 11.5 kW onboard charge system.

2024 Chevrolet Equinox 2LT

Moving to the 2LT trim, you have all the features of the 1LT with a few notable upgrades. The front seats, steering wheel, and side mirrors heat for comfort and convenience. A front LED light bar adds expressive style to the futuristic exterior design. You also have access to more driver-assist systems.

2024 Chevrolet Equinox 3LT

Chevrolet adds reverse automatic braking and adaptive cruise control as standard equipment on the 3LT. You can add Super Cruise, a semi-autonomous driving system that allows you to drive hands-free on compatible roads.

Other upgrades include 21-inch aluminum alloy wheels, heated front and rear outboard seats, ventilated front seats, and a heated wiper park.

2024 Chevrolet Equinox 2RS

The 2RS taps into Chevrolet's performance engineering, delivering thrilling driving dynamics in a bold, sporty design. A heated, flat-bottom steering wheel hints at its athleticism. Heated front and rear outboard seats come standard. 

2024 Chevrolet Equinox 3RS

Chevrolet styled the Equinox 3RS with bold, athletic design elements, equipped it with performance engineering, and installed the latest in-vehicle tech everyone wants. The 3RS rolls on 21-inch black alloys, and you have heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated wiper park.

Specs & Dimensions

Chevrolet uses its 85-kWh Ultium battery and an electric motor to power its front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive variants use multiple electric motors to propel the Traverse EV. 

Range and recharge time are considered the defining characteristics of EVs. The FWD Equinox can travel up to 319 miles on a full charge, while AWD models reach 285 miles. Chevrolet's 11.5 kW onboard charging system enables DC fast-charging capability. GM estimates the Equinox can recharge 70 miles of range in ten minutes, quickly getting you back on the road. 

One advantage of the EV powertrain is instant power delivery without a transmission. As a result, EVs offer quick acceleration. Equinox AWD models sprint to sixty mph in only 5.9 seconds thanks to the dual electric motors that produce 288 horsepower.

The Equinox seats five people in its spacious cabin. A 60/40 split-folding second row offers versatility to haul more oversized, longer cargo. Behind the rear seat, you have 26.4 cubic feet of space for gear. Folding the second-row flat opens up 57.2 cubic feet of usable storage.

Tech & Safety

Your in-vehicle technology runs through the 17.7-inch touchscreen that has Google Built-In. With Google on board, you can synch your smartphones for hands-free operations. Now, you can use simple, intuitive voice commands to access your favorite apps, get navigation information, make calls, send texts, and more.

GM's Super Cruise comes standard, enabling hands-free driving on America's largest network of compatible roads. This system uses advanced tech to monitor your Equinox. Super Cruise will keep your Equinox centered in its lane. When it detects a slower vehicle ahead, it automatically signals, changes lanes, passes the slower car and returns you to your original lane without driver input. When you need to change lanes, simply activate your turn signal, and Super Cruise will automatically change lanes when an opening exists.

Every Equinox comes with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver-assist systems designed to improve safety. These systems use cameras and radar to monitor and report potential hazards. Sometimes, these systems engage emergency brake support and steering to help mitigate or avoid a possible accident.

Benefits of Electric SUVs

With zero tailpipe emissions, the Equinox offers pollution-free driving. The lower cost of electricity versus gas makes it less expensive to operate, and when you purchase the Equinox, you can qualify for a $7,500 federal tax break, saving you more money. 

Your Equinox can recharge up to 34 miles of range in an hour using your at-home Level I charger. That means you can go to bed and wake up the following day with a full charge. On the road, DC fast-charging adds 70 miles of range in only ten minutes, making long road trips possible thanks to the ever-growing network of charging stations.

If you're on the hunt for a compact SUV that's stylish, packed with new tech, and offers great value, the Chevrolet Trailblazer is likely high on your list. Chevy has sold over 400,000 units since the vehicle was first launched in 2020, offering a happy medium between the Chevrolet Trax and the Equinox. The Trailblazer is designed for younger buyers who want a versatile vehicle that's easy to drive around town but ready for weekend adventures.

Finding the Perfect Chevrolet Trailblazer for Sale

The all-wheel-drive (AWD) Trailblazer starts at around $26,495, making it one of the more affordable options for a small SUV. The 2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer's engine is a turbocharged 1.3-liter powerplant that generates 155 horsepower and pairs with a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency is a reasonable 27 mpg combined.

The AWD Trailblazer offers selectable drive modes and off-road suspension tuning, especially in the ACTIV trim. This version adds skid plates and 17-inch high-gloss black aluminum wheels, so it's tougher and better at handling rougher terrain.

Customizing Your New Chevrolet Trailblazer

The great part about the Chevrolet Trailblazer is that you can buy it at a reasonable entry-level price and make it your own. It offers a variety of trims and options to suit your style and needs:

  • LS: The entry-level trim comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and halogen taillamps.
  • RS: Sportier design elements and available features, such as a power panoramic sunroof and a premium Bose seven-speaker sound system, enhance this trim.
  • ACTIV: This rugged-looking trim offers a unique suspension and skid plates.

You can choose from a palette of eye-catching colors, including Marina Blue and Cacti Green, which add a splash of personality.

Performance and Versatility Insights

The Trailblazer isn't the fastest or the most fuel-efficient in its class, but it's a decent everyday SUV. It seats five comfortably and offers up to 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which can expand to over 54 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. With a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds, it's ready for small trailers or bike racks.

Safety is a strong point. The 2023 Trailblazer earned a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and was declared an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick+, thanks to features such as blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and rear park assist.
