2026 Chevy Equinox EV | Electric SUV
The All-Electric SUV for Everyone, Everywhere
The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV is the ultimate expression of the modern electric vehicle—designed to be as approachable as it is advanced. Built on the revolutionary Ultium Platform, the Equinox EV bridges the gap between traditional crossover utility and the future of zero-emission driving. It offers a seamless transition for families looking to go electric without compromising on cargo space, towing capability, or style. With its competitive range, striking design, and accessible price point, the 2026 Equinox EV proves that the electric revolution is officially ready for the mainstream.
Sleek by Design. Efficient by Nature.
The 2026 Equinox EV makes a statement with its clean, aerodynamic lines and flush-mounted door handles that reduce drag and maximize range. The front and rear lighting signatures feature available animated sequences that greet you upon approach, while the sculpted body is available in a variety of bold, two-tone color schemes. This isn't just a gas vehicle with a battery; it is a ground-up reimagining of the compact SUV, offering a longer wheelbase for improved stability and a more spacious interior than its internal combustion counterparts.
The Future of Driving: Innovation and Range in the Equinox EV
Performance: Range That Powers Your Life
The 2026 Equinox EV is engineered to eliminate range anxiety. Depending on the configuration, this SUV offers a GM-estimated 319 miles of electric range on a full charge for FWD models. Whether you choose the efficient Front-Wheel Drive or the available eAWD system which delivers a punchy 288 horsepower, the Equinox EV provides instant torque for confident merging and passing. With One-Pedal Driving and regenerative braking, you can even capture energy to maximize your distance with every trip.
Technology: A Tech-Forward Sanctuary
Inside the Equinox EV, the future is centered around a massive, standard 17.7-inch diagonal freeform display screen. This high-definition interface features Google built-in, offering native access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and the Play Store. To enhance your highway travels, the Equinox EV offers available Super Cruise™ hands-free driver assistance technology, allowing you to relax on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads across North America.
Safety: Intelligent Protection Standard
Every 2026 Equinox EV is equipped with Chevy Safety Assist, but it doesn't stop there. The electric architecture allows for even more advanced awareness features. From navigating busy parking lots to highway cruising, the Equinox EV looks out for you with innovative tech, including:
- Reverse Automatic Braking: Helps detect and avoid objects behind you while backing up.
- Side Blind Zone Steering Assist: Provides a subtle steering wheel turn if you attempt to change lanes when a hazard is detected.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Automatically maintains a driver-selected gap from the vehicle ahead.
Equinox EV vs. Equinox (Gas): The Electric Advantage
While both vehicles share the trusted Equinox name, the EV model offers significant differences in performance and technology due to its specialized electric platform.
| Feature | 2026 Equinox EV | 2026 Equinox (Gas) |
|---|---|---|
| Drive Platform | Ultium Electric Platform | Internal Combustion Engine |
| Max Horsepower | 288 hp (AWD) | 175 hp |
| Standard Screen | 17.7-inch Diagonal | 11.3-inch Diagonal |
| Hands-Free Driving | Available Super Cruise™ | Not Available |
| Fueling / Charging | 70 miles in 10 min (DC Fast) | Standard Gasoline Refuel |
The Equinox EV is the ideal choice for those ready to lower their fuel costs and enjoy the quiet, high-torque performance of an electric motor. The Gas Equinox remains a strong option for those who frequently travel to remote areas where charging infrastructure may be less prevalent.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo Space
The Equinox EV cabin is a masterclass in modern ergonomics. By placing the battery low and flat, Chevrolet has maximized interior volume, providing a spacious feel for all five passengers and a completely flat load floor.
- Versatile Cargo Room: With up to 57.2 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume and a dual-height cargo floor, the Equinox EV adapts to your lifestyle.
- Premium Ambient Lighting: Available customizable lighting allows you to set the mood for every drive, with colors that span the full spectrum.
