2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT 1

The 2026 Equinox EV is Chevrolet's compact electric crossover, slotting between the Bolt EV and Blazer EV in size and price. It competes with the Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the crowded compact EV segment. The Equinox EV accelerates smoothly and quietly, with enough punch for daily driving and a composed, planted feel on the highway. Its ride is on the firm side, which helps body control but means sharper impacts on rough pavement; the trade-off is worth it for the handling. The cabin offers generous passenger space for four adults, and the rear cargo area is competitive for the class. The LT 1 with all-wheel drive adds traction for snow and gravel compared to the front-drive LT 1, while keeping the same base equipment.
