Read our 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV review which is Chevrolet’s new electric SUV that feels modern and exciting in every way, while still being easy to live with on a daily basis. It looks sleek and stylish on the road, and it gives drivers and families the confidence to travel near and far, whether you are heading out for a stroll along Hamilton’s waterfront, driving to the Rockies, or running around town in changing weather. This electric SUV blends thoughtful design with smart features to make every drive feel relaxed and enjoyable, and it feels especially at home on Canadian roads where range and comfort matter a great deal.
2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV Review - Smooth Power and Impressive Range
The Equinox EV does not have a traditional engine. Instead, it uses an electric motor system that gives strong, quiet power from a fully electric battery setup. Depending on the model you choose, the Equinox EV can produce up to 288 horsepower and 333 lb‑ft of torque, giving smooth and responsive acceleration that feels natural in traffic and on open highways. The electric range on a single charge is estimated at up to 513 kilometres with front‑wheel drive and about 494 kilometres with all‑wheel drive, helping drivers go longer between charges and enjoy trips without worrying about stops as much. Electric vehicles like this do not use fuel in litres per 100 kilometres, but the EPA range figures give a clear sense of how far you can travel before the next charge. Charging is made easier with support for fast charging, and the system is designed to fit into everyday life whether you charge at home or at public stations.
Roomy Cargo and Comfortable Seating
Inside the 2026 Equinox EV, seating is designed to feel open and inviting, and up to five people can be seated comfortably. Cloth fabric is used on many trims, and the seats feel soft yet supportive for longer journeys. Cargo space offers about 1,620 litres with the rear seats folded, giving plenty of room for groceries, luggage, sports gear, or even outdoor equipment for weekend trips. A dual‑height cargo floor helps keep items stable and easy to organise, and the layout makes it simple to pack and unpack for family routines or longer excursions. Whether you are heading to a park near Hamilton or a weekend escape to the mountains, the cargo space in the Equinox EV fits naturally into your plans.
Technology That Feels Natural
The interior of the 2026 Equinox EV is focused on giving you useful technology without feeling complicated. A large 17.7‑inch touchscreen display sits at the centre of the dashboard so information, media, and settings are easy to see and use on the go. The system supports built‑in Google features to help with maps and apps, and wireless phone connectivity lets phones link up without cables. Wireless phone charging helps keep devices powered during longer trips. A six speaker audio system fills the cabin with clear sound. Heated seats and available ventilated seats help keep everyone comfortable in summer and winter, and features like a heated steering wheel and heated windows add extra warmth during colder days in Alberta. Keyless entry, push‑button start, power door locks, and fog lights make everyday use feel seamless and natural.
Confident Support Every Drive
The 2026 Equinox EV comes with a full suite of standard safety and driver assistance systems for confidence on busy streets and highways alike. Chevrolet Safety Assist is included, offering features such as automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist with lane departure alert, forward collision alert, a following distance indicator, and IntelliBeam auto headlights, all designed to help keep awareness high on every drive. Available features like adaptive cruise control and enhanced parking assist add extra help when driving in tight spaces or on longer trips, letting you focus on enjoying the ride.
