2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV Review: A New Best Value EV?

[@dugintexas7908]

2025 is not next year... they have been out for weeks... I bought an LT with no options other than the dual level charger (it was included , no choice) and sticker was right at $35k. With dealer incentives, GM incentives and federal EV tax credit I paid $23,290 prior to taxes and govt fees. For the money I think it is a crazy bargain. Still the same 85kWh battery and range.

[@larry4fire]

You’re absolutely right the Equinox EV LT is indeed a bargain. What financing terms did the dealer offer?

[@kennytruong3433]

I got the 2025 based model too. Love the car so far. Too good of a deal to pass up.

[@REMMc-jx7vc]

@@larry4fire Mine was 0% for 4 years. I will keep my money in safe stock haha

[@king-crane4956]

Dang that’s a nice pickup. What state are you located in?

[@REMMc-jx7vc]

I'm curious if there is anything in the old tire section. I purchased one, and all it has is one tow bar with a number of empty slots. Is this where the jacks and tire replacement items would normally be held? The EV has no tire after all. :( Do I have this wrong? Am I missing anything? Thanks!

[@bobgilbert7248]

Just got my 2024 2RS today. Very nice

[@REMMc-jx7vc]

Same here the other day. 3RS do see any sensors on the bumpers? I park like 2 feet away not getting any front or back sensors going off? Great video.

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Well & balanced review. I think it will be a segment winner. Thx for the video. I enjoyed watching

[@farren7254]

Very informative and organized review!

[@beyondfossil]

6:30 - Is it possible the Chevrolet Equinox has "linear power delivery" because it doesn't have the power for any acceleration beyond that?

[@allbecomesiron]

My guess is they have it limited by the control software to extend range 🤔

[@normkirk65]

Excellent review ! Thank you. It's too bad that Chevy did not include a camera rear view mirror like my 2020 Chevy Bolt or a Bose stereo and subwoofer system like my Bolt.

[@CaptBill69]

After the huge computer based problems the Chevy Blazer had when released too early (gave GM a Black Eye); I believe GM EV Success will depend on happy customers with minimal complaints. Hope to see that kind of Track Record, along with more economical prices as time goes on.

[@thenitroshop9377]

We just got our 2024 2RS in Winnipeg , SO far handling winter amazingly well... very very good heat...amazing traction and ice manners... faster cabin warmup and defrost faster then a ICE car

[@REMMc-jx7vc]

Have a 3 RS how is the 21 inch wheels in the snow - in BC Thanks

[@thenitroshop9377]

@@REMMc-jx7vc I'm not sure as I put on 18" steelies with Michelin X-Ice .... my guess is the factory tires are mediocre in winter, I think they are designed more for max range then max traction... If its in the budget I would put proper winters on

Hello Natalie ❤

[@yamahagrand]

No Android Auto is probably a deal breaker for me.

[@thenitroshop9377]

you probably wont miss it, the onboard system is very good and you can still integrate with phone..plus the app options are expanding and soon you will be able to add Android Auto and Apple Car play through a 3rd party vendor ...but after owning it for a month I do not miss carplay one bit , the google setup does what I need even better

[@king-crane4956]

@@thenitroshop9377someone already released an aftermarket system for CarPlay and android auto and it actually looks pretty good.

[@joen4088]

Little crossover??? It's 191"L and 77"W!! Hardly little and bigger than most ICE compact SUVs

[@chettlar212]

Man removing apple carplay and android auto just destroyed this car's potential as a big food deliver/rideshare car. You can do those things without those features, but when there are other options to look at, Chevy can't afford to throwaway things that are that useful.

[@REMMc-jx7vc]

Super crusie is amazing folks. Better than my husbands Tesla haha

[@rustlesee]

04:30, get ready for your kids to get car sick back there with no view out.

[@alvaro2110ify]

Thank for the review. best thing is that they got rid of the Android Auto and Apple Car Play, Google Integration works perfect with you Google account. Range of 319 will only be achieved if you drive at 55 mph. Real time driving will get you 250 at the most, which is still awesome for the price of the vehicle. Got my 1LT and I don't miss any of the stuff that I got on the 3LT demo drive. Besides 2 and 3LT comes with 21 tires which gives less range. How difference of point of views from a female driver...Next time do the still shots on a paved parking lot, cant believe how dirty those tires are on a Review Video...

[@thenitroshop9377]

I Am getting 464 KM (288 Miles) Real world range in Winnipeg winter conditions running Winter tires.. I am blown away with the range, and we don't drive 1 pedal nor do we drive economically.. the initial departure from the house uses wall power to warm up, but at work its just sitting outside in the freezing cold, my wife and me share it as she works midnights and I work days... the range is fantastic , even in winter with the heat cranked

[@johnnyrowe6258]

too much showing you and not enough showing the car. while you are speaking we should hear your voice and descriptions and see the actual features not the camera focused on you?

[@jermainec2462]

It's a lil on the ugly side tbh... Would hope it would look more like the gas verson equinox

[@hectorromo7662]

I got a 2023 Equinox RS with a gutless 1.5 engine, this is the worst vehicle. I ever bought from GM. It's a leg killer, there's no room for your left leg, you are sitting lapsided not good for long trips, the mirror blocks your front view and all 4 pillars block your lateral view, the steering column and driver's seat are hard to adjust, not a gas saver at all, for you have to really step on the gas pedal to make it go and vibrates like an old grinder when idling. Worst vehicle ever.! The dealership won't stand behind their warranty

[@paulm6481]

lol no Apple car play. Bye

[@ivanguerini995]

No need for that all apps are in google …

[@GusDom]

I've already seen some Equinox EV owners get their infotainment modded to add carplay/android auto by their dealership. It's started to roll out in Michigan. Best damn deal in the EV space with carplay to boot is dangerous to Tesla. I myself have the RS2 version of the Equinox EV and have been averaging 335 miles per charge. Best car I've ever owned by FAR.

[@guycoletta6466]

That’s what I thought but it’s not even an issue. They’ve done a great job with the user interface and with Google. You will not miss Apple CarPlay and I’m saying that is a 20 year Apple fanboy

[@paulm6481]

Tesla model Y is cheaper and has better range with AWD.

[@EV_Spotting]

New Equinox LT1 is $27 k with incentives, what does Model Y cost new?

[@shawnjay92]

@@EV_Spottingthere are 2024s going on sale with 12-14k incentives and 0% APR for 60 months too. Just awesome

[@cheapme1850]

And uglier.

[@thenetworkarchitectchannel]

Man… u r doing some serious mental gymnastics going through that noggin of yours.

[@Alan-tr5uj]

@@cheapme1850Idk, looks are subjective. The Equinox isn’t going to win any beauty pageants either- it looks like every other aggro-angular crossover out there. At least it’s not offensive. Teslas are vanilla and minimalist, but also inoffensive. That apparently works when you’re selling transportation appliances, as evidenced by the Model Y having become the best selling vehicle in the world now. Hope GM sells a ton of these.

[@mattthomson4905]

Do not buy I own it. It is soooo bad drive 10k use 20 to 30k battery I own a 2025 of this car. A WARNING TO all people thinking of this car don't buy.

[@allbecomesiron]

What do you mean by “drive 10k use 20 to 30k battery”?

[@mattthomson4905]

@allbecomesiron I live in Canada kilometers

[@jermainec2462]

So what are you saying that you have to replace the battery? Is the range not as good as they claim?

[@allbecomesiron]

@@jermainec2462 I have a 2025 Equinox EV. In the cold it has less range than stated and running heat or air conditioning uses more energy. Like gas cars, you’re getting an optimistic EPA mileage value. By using the heated wheel and seat, less cabin heat is needed. Go easy on the acceleration and use one pedal mode for regenerative braking. My vehicle is kept in a garage above freezing and I’m seeing about 70% range in the cold. We’ll see as it gets more miles on it how the range is affected.

[@mattthomson4905]

@jermainec2462 not evin close it'd about 350 to 375 k
