2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV: price and specs

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV, offered at a competitive base price, does not try to be the flashiest in its class. Instead, it aims to be pleasant to drive, roomy, practical, and well equipped. Above all, it is designed to make the move to electric feel natural, without a major compromise.

Choosing an electric SUV is one thing. Choosing the right electric SUV is another. Is the driving range solid? Is charging straightforward? Does the size work for a family? Can it tow? And are the trims worth the price difference?

Here are the different trims offered for the Chevrolet Equinox EV and their starting prices:

• LT FWD: $49,625
• RS FWD: $54,625
• LT AWD: $53,125

Equinox EV 2026 vs. 2025: what's new

The Chevrolet Equinox electric car keeps the essence that makes the model relevant: a compact footprint, competitive range, LT and RS trims, a large touch screen, and an approach focused on making the switch to electric easy.

In other words, the 2026 model does not reinvent the product. It refines it.

And that is not a drawback. When a formula works, the best move is not always to overhaul everything. The result is a consolidated electric SUV that has already found its place in the Canadian market.

Remember that Le Guide de l'auto also noted that the Equinox EV was the best-selling electric vehicle in Canada in 2025, across all categories.

Performance, charging and range

Let us start with the essentials: the Chevrolet Equinox is a 100% electric SUV. You get a single-motor setup on front-wheel drive trims and a dual-motor setup on all-wheel drive trims.

The electric Chevrolet Equinox announces up to 513 km of range on a full charge for front-wheel drive trims, and 494 km for all-wheel drive trims.

For many Quebec buyers, this driving range places Equinox EV in a very reassuring zone. You can cover your daily commutes, your weekday trips, and even several intercity drives without feeling like you always have to watch the gauge.

On DC fast charging, the Equinox EV can recover about 123 km of range in only 10 minutes. On Level 2 charging, capacity reaches 11.5 kW, for up to 57 km of range added per hour, based on GM estimates.

Chevrolet Equinox EV: towing capacity and cargo space

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV can tow up to 1,500 lb., or 680 kg. This is not meant for a large travel trailer, of course, but it is entirely relevant for a small utility trailer, some recreational gear or light-duty use.

For cargo, Chevrolet quotes a maximum volume of 1,620 L (57.2 cu. ft.) and offers a dual-height cargo floor, a handy feature to better organize space and make everyday life easier.

In short, the Equinox EV does not try to replace a pickup. But for a compact electric SUV, it remains versatile enough for real life.

2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV: design and finishes

It has to be said: the Equinox EV looks much more modern than what many buyers still expect from a compact Chevrolet SUV.

It features sleek lines, a refined interior, and flexible cargo space, which sums up the model's intent well.

As for colours, there is plenty of choice. Depending on the trim, you can opt for:

• Summit White,
• Black,
• Riptide Blue Metallic,
• Galaxy Grey Metallic,
• Radiant Red Tintcoat,
• Sterling Grey Metallic,
• Or two-tone options with white or black depending on the trim.

On-board technologies and driver assistance systems

The Chevrolet Equinox not only offers proven reliability, it is also highly technological and safety-focused. Technologies, amenities, and driver assistance systems are numerous on board. Here is what you may find depending on the trim and the options selected:

• 17.7-inch central touch screen,
• Google built-in compatibility,
• HD surround vision,
• Dual-zone air conditioning,
• Adaptive cruise control,
• Enhanced automatic parking assist,
• Intersection automatic emergency braking,
• Front pedestrian and cyclist detection braking,
• Lane keep assist with lane departure warning,
• Forward collision alert,
• And much more.
