2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV Reviews: What Experts Say

What are the auto experts saying about the performance, convenience, and reliability of the Chevrolet Equinox EV and other factors? Check out the following 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV reviews: 

Car and Driver

“At our test track, the front-wheel-drive Equinox EV put down a 60-mph time of 7.7 seconds, which is comparable to gas-powered compact-SUV competitors. The all-wheel-drive model was significantly quicker, getting to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds.”

The folks at Car and Driver also commented on this EV’s range and charging times: 

“All Equinox EV models have the same size battery pack, although the range estimates vary depending on powertrain configuration. Front-wheel-drive models offer up to 319 miles of range per EPA estimates, while the all-wheel-drive version drops that down to 307 miles. In our real-world 75-mph highway range test, both versions of the Equinox EV delivered a result of 260 miles, which we think comes down to the different wheels and tires on our test cars. All models come with DC fast-charging capability, which Chevrolet says can add 70 miles of range to the battery in as little as 10 minutes.”

Motor Trend

“We expect the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV to keep up the model’s strong track record for high safety scores. NHTSA awards five stars overall to both FWD and AWD versions of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV. A 360-degree camera view and traffic sign recognition are available on higher trims. Chevrolet’s excellent Super Cruise driver assistance is available on the Equinox EV LT2 and RS.”

Motor Trend experts also commented on the model’s tech features: 

“The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV comes with a strong standard tech suite. All models receive an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster and 17.7-inch touchscreen display with Google built-in software, including Google Maps, Google Assistant voice command, and the Google Play store.”
