2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV Consumer Reviews

Very Satisfied with Equinox 2LT
We traded in a 2023 Bolt EV that we loved for the 2024 Equinox 2LT and have been very satisfied with the new vehicle. It lacks the quickness of the Bolt, but that is not what it is designed to do. Big, comfortable adult seats, 359 miles of range after our last Electrify America top off and now access to the Tesla Supercharger network gives comfort in ride and confidence in range. The cabin is spacious, bright and visibility is excellent. Suspension does a great job of smoothing out the bumps. We found plenty of cargo space for our needs and lots of rear seat leg room. For all its benefits, I think it’s ridiculous, inconsiderate and inconvenient to customers that Apple Car Play is omitted. Just a really inexcusable decision, because an app is your primary user interface to critical features in an EV, and Apple design is far superior to what a car company can create. Without Car Play, the large, clear screen turns into a befuddling mess to navigate and the My Chevrolet app remains slow, clunky and frustrating at times. Lack of CarPlay almost turned us elsewhere, but in the end we chose to live with it because with trade-in value of the Bolt, federal rebate and a couple other discounts, the value (even with the recommended convenience package) for all the good features, space and especially range was way too great to look elsewhere.

Great Entry level EV
I’d effective give this car a 4.5 stars. Has great tech and comfortable ride. Coming from a ICE vehicle to an EV is a BIG change to an everyday experience. Charging experience is pretty straight forward from 25% to100% on a level 3 fast charger takes me roughly 35min. Getting into a mindset of when battery is around 25% to find a charger helps me with not having range anxiety/being stranded. Regeneration braking captures around 1-5%charge, however the one pedal driving always a little different to get used to. However it’s still pretty great function. A very under appreciated item is buttons! Not every being integrated into the radio or an additional display. Reasons why it does NOT get a 5 stars: Out of the giant screen, it’s not flush with the gauge cluster, which irks me. It’s recessed back a little. On the very left side of the radio, there is your main controls such as vehicle off, one pedal driving, light controls that cannot be seen unless you move your entire body to the right. Due to the steering wheel blocking them. Irritates me since I’d like to simply reach my hand out and o touch them without worrying which one I am actually hitting since they are block by a steering wheel. Poor design by GM.

I'm Electrified!
Been wanting to go electric but waiting for the much anticipated $34,995 Equinox EV version to become available. Finally here so I traded in my 2020 Equinox gas powered vehicle for the 2025 Equinox EV. I've seen reviews saying "its acceleration is considered "lackluster" and not particularly exciting" but I found the acceleration to be superior to that of my former gas powered Equinox. I love the one-pedal driving feature that allows the vehicle to slow down and stop using only the accelerator pedal. This regenerative braking helps to recoup and store energy when the vehicle decelerates. Took a bit of getting used to but now I often take an entire trip without touching the brake! All this, and an MSRP of $34,995, the Clean Air Vehicle rebate of $7,500, military discount of $500, and the trade in value of my old Equinox, made it an offer too good to pass up. Not to mention I love driving the vehicle! Mine is an Equinox EV 1LT but there was only the option to select the 2LT model in Vehicle details.

Vehicle delivered with major water leak
Nice car, BUT…..Vehicle delivered with major water leak at seam of deiver’s A pillar and roof headliner. Dealership discovered this was caused by a known defect listed on service advisory. Water is entering from faulty sunroof assembly. Sunroof needs to be replaced, but is on back order with no date promised for fix. I bought the car 10 days earlier. Not even offered a loaner car.
Only 2 things bug me!
I really liked the price ($28k out the door for 2025 Lt with power and heated seat, voice command navigation, phone Integration etc etc). My knee keeps hitting the heat control knob, changing the temperature setting. The available range numbers on the display are way off in Michigan winter driving. I have to multiply by . 61 to get a real estimate. Chevy could have done that for me.
