Chevrolet wants to make its Equinox EV the best-selling BEV in the United States
- Chevrolet exhibited at the 2022 Detroit Motor Show, openned from September 14 to 25, its new battery electric compact SUV called Equinox EV which joins the brand's range of BEVs such as the Silverado EV, the Blazer EV and the Bolt EV. Compared to the Blazer EV, the Equinox EV is more family-friendly and less powerful, and therefore less sporty. The designers wanted to create a vehicle with the least aggressive design possible, inspired by the design of American cars of the 60s.
- Based on the Ultium platform, the Chevrolet Equinox EV will be marketed with a choice of two batteries. Two versions are planned, the first with a 155 kW (210 hp) electric motor coupled to a 60 kWh battery and the second with a 213 kW (290 hp) electric motor coupled to an 80 kWh battery. The range reaches 400 km and 480 km respectively. With all-wheel drive, the range drops to 450 km.
- The prices of the Equinox EV which will be marketed from the summer of 2023 have been communicated: from 35,000 dollars to 39,000 dollars depending on the version, i.e. a price between the Nissan Leaf (30,000 dollars ), Chevrolet Bolt EV ($32,500), Mini Electric ($35,000) and the Volkswagen ID4 ($39,000), Hyundai Ioniq 5 ($41,000), Kia EV6 ($43,000). In fact, the Equinox EV is priced the same as a Hyundai Kona Electric, which is extremely competitive.
- Chevrolet wants to make the Equinox EV the best-selling electric vehicle in the United States, supplanting the Tesla Model Y SUV. It will be assembled at the Ramos Arizpe site in Mexico, alongside the combustion-powered Equinox. It will be offered in Europe but with a length that reaches 4.84 m, it will not be part of the compact models on this market, unlike the USA.
