2026 Equinox EV
The Chevy Equinox EV is the everyday pick. Its 319 miles of range applies to every front-wheel-drive trim. If you'd rather have AWD, it's available on the LT 1 at 307 miles.
Every 2026 Equinox EV comes with an 11-inch driver information display and Google built-in. Google built-in is standard, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not offered.
- LT 1: a 17.7-inch touch screen.
- LT 2: adds bright roof rails, HD Surround Vision and wireless phone charging.
- RS: brings Chevy Safety Assist and HD Surround Vision, with 21-inch black wheels and black emblems and mirrors.
2026 Blazer EV
The Chevy Blazer EV is the bolder one, with up to 59.1 cu. ft. of cargo space, 25.5 of it behind the second row. The trims climb in character too. Our new Blazer EV inventory is where you can see them in person.
- LT: 19-inch wheels and an 11-inch driver information display, with an 85 kWh battery that's good for 312 miles of EPA-estimated range on FWD.
- RS: 21-inch wheels, a black grille and fascia, an illuminated light bar and a black two-tone roof. It shares the LT's battery and 312-mile range on FWD.
- SS: 22-inch wheels and a 102 kWh battery, with Super Cruise standard on a 3-year plan. In Wide Open Watts mode, its 615 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque get it from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.4 seconds, and its EPA-estimated range is 302 miles.
Choosing between the Equinox EV and Blazer EV
Pick the Equinox EV if range is your top priority, since at 319 miles it has the longest number in the lineup. It's an easygoing electric SUV for daily errands.
Pick the Blazer EV if you want more presence or more performance than the Equinox EV gives you. On the Blazer EV, the RS brings the styling and the SS brings the power. You also get a little more cargo room, which helps when the back seat folds down and the gear comes out.
What separates them is how much range you want and how much power you want under your foot.
EV or gas Equinox and Blazer
The electric and gas versions share a name, but they're separate vehicles. The gas-powered Equinox and the gas-powered Blazer each have their own trims and engines, so don't assume an RS or LT carries the same features from one to the other.
If you're cross-shopping, treat each one as its own model, because a quick drive in both is the fastest way to feel the difference between them.
