Why the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV is The Best Crossover SUV

The 2026 Chevy Equinox EV is a sleek, sporty, and affordable crossover SUV, offering plenty to get excited about on the road. This electric vehicle took a minute to hit the market on a wide scale, but now that it’s here and available to people who want it, our team at Betley Chevrolet wants to answer your pressing questions. Stick around as we dive into it!

How Many Miles Can the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV Go On a Full Charge?

First things first, the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV is a great choice for people who want to travel ~300 miles. For the FWD (front-wheel-drive) model, you get up to 319 miles of electric power per full charge, while AWD (all-wheel-drive) powertrains supply you with 307 miles.

Most crossover electric SUVs don’t supply over 300 miles of range at this price point, so Chevy takes the crown when looking at the broader market right now.

How Much Does the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV Cost?

Next, the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV puts itself in the great overall value category of electric crossovers, mainly because its starting retail price is $35,100. Most electric cars, trucks, and SUVs cost over $50,000, so being on the lower end of the spectrum gives drivers more leeway when trying to get inside one.

• Starting price: $35,100
• Highest price: $44,200

What Standard Features Does the 2026 Equinox EV Come With?

Another key factor that makes the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV a winner in the electric crossover SUV segment is its standard equipment. Most of the time, entry-level trims have a few nice features here and there, but nothing to get excited about. The 2026 Equinox EV offers a range of features, including a standard 17.7-inch center touchscreen and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, as well as Google built-in functionality. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard, as are heated front seats, wireless phone charging, and an electronic parking brake.

How Safe Is the 2026 Equinox EV?

Safety features in the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV are yet another reason it’s the best crossover SUV this model year. At a standard level, you get over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, all part of the Chevy Safety Assist safety suite.

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Forward Collision Alert
• Following Distance Indicator
• IntelliBeam automatic high beams
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• HD Rear Vision Camera

Although official safety ratings have not yet been released, it is expected that this year’s Equinox will receive a five-star rating, similar to previous models.
