2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV review

Chevrolet Equinox EV: everyday electric done well enough. Illustrative review

8.0/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is a strong contender in its class. Ride stays composed on rough pavement; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $36,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

★★★★☆Omar G. · San Antonio, TX · 20 months owned
Happy after a year

Replaced an older Chevrolet with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

★★★★☆Victor P. · Corpus Christi, TX · 19 months owned
Would buy again

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★☆Omar B. · Nashville, TN · 15 months owned
Happy after a year

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
