I've been looking at Equinox for a couple years now. Finally convinced my spouse it was a good choice. He wants it in diesel, but now I've seen this electric model, I'm, for the first time, actually considering waiting for this model to come out; I LOVE the look and design; this car would be my first choice, over any EV I know of.

@@bmw803 The EV1 was a lead-acid battery vehicle. They will never bring that vehicle back. Plus the styling of the EV1 was based on 2010 styling and thus would look horribly outdated today. Any of the Ultium-based Chevy EV's will out perform the EV1, so why would Chevrolet want to bring it back?
I could see this being a huge hit. Big question is how much the price jump will be going to the bigger battery in the 1LT. I could see the sweet spot being a 2LT w/AWD. Hopefully they can keep that under $40k 🤞🏻

Having gone EV before, let me assure those that might be on the fence. Go EV! So much more economical! Maintenance with EVs is next to nothing and, once you take a test drive, you'll experience its instant torque which outshines ICE vehichles by a wide margin. I have my eye on this one for sure especially at that doable price point!
Thank you for this video!! My husband and son have the Bolt EV, and we are awaiting our new EUV. I have been waiting for this Equinox EV since they first mentioned the concept. I cannot wait! This is the exact color I'm looking at, and to the sharp interior is awesome!! I hope they stick everything shown here. My opinion, in terms of style both inside and out, hands down the sharpest and most interesting EV yet! Hoping they add the battery warming option for winter time to preserve range. Either way, I cannot wait for the day I can get in and sit behind the wheel of one of these vehicles. They already have one sold as far as I'm concerned!!
My next car will be an EV. When, likely sooner than later, because my primary vehicle turns eleven next month. So far the Equinox is leading the field, Handsomely designed, four wheel drive, highly function interior space, 300 miles range, according to Chevy, based on the package, and a price in the mid-thirties, as opposed to mid fifties for comparable Tesla, VW and Hondai. Great job taking me through the exterior and interior functionality and esthetics that are included. Much appreciated.
Chevy will be getting 2 purchases from us over the next 2 years. I love my 2019 Trax and have been waiting to upgrade. With new Trax not being CVT and the EV Equinox looks like we will the best of both worlds to drive. Can't wait to see the final price points and milage.
I am very impressed that they went all out with the interior. It's really quite beautiful. I wish they used the E for the Equinox badge on the steering wheel instead of the bow. Other than that, great job. The seamless 11" to 17" displays are lovely. Also wish the drive shifter was lower in the center console, I'm going to confuse it with the windshield wiper controls, lol.

Joe I've commented on your excellent reviews before. As a proud owner of a 2019 ICE Equinox that I love I'm glad to see Chevy stepping up their game with this Equinox EV. I love the new exterior and the new interior with more soft touch services and larger screens, it certainly looks more premium. Do you think Chevy will make an Ice version of this new design as a farewell to Internal combustion engines? Love the work that you and your lovely wife Lori do, keep up the good work.
To me Chevy has done an outstanding job at creating the electric version of the Equinox. The price is another thing as well. Its affordable compare to its competitors. Like the the good old commercials of Chevy once said, "Chevy, like a Rock"
Wow, I'm getting my Twinkies & 10 lb bag of apples ready for this Equinox! Great job GM, very slick, muscular, avamt -garde, color choices fantastic, Good job at showing Equinox Raiti's Rides!! Only zonking the rear window wiper, please conceal it up under the spoiler, thanks!
If they build it to the quality of a VOLT, it's definitely a winner. I had a 2011 (was T-Boned and totaled). Have a 2019 and it's an incredible car. Never mind the comments about interior was too hard/ plastic etc. I have leather interior. I've had Mercedes, BMW, Porsche (still my favorite car) and Corvettes. Luxury interior is nice, but passing gas stations, trouble free and almost NO maintenance. Equinox looks great and an SUV! It's a winner!
I've owned a 2020 Chevy Bolt EV since 2020 and I've loved it. So much so that I've made a down payment on a '24 Blazer EV. But after watching this video I've changed my mind and decided on a new Equinox EV (subject to further mind changing). This is a gorgeous machine and I can't wait to drive one.
30k minus 7.5k point of sale tax rebate AND minus 4k point of sale NJ Ev rebate in 2024. This EV will cost about 18.5k in 2024. Plus no sales tax. Awesome price !!!!!
Good afternoon finally a super great, extensive and detailed presentation which definitely made me decide to change to this 2024 Equinox. I was planning to buy the 2023 Blazer SS, but your presentation made mi change to the Equinox and also from silver to the blue one. Kind regards. Mike Billy Thönissen from Orlando Florida. 🚙
Nice review! Want to ask your opinion: should I order a bolt euv and wait about 6 months to get it or better to wait till next year and get the equinox Ev, I assume will be pretty much same price for Bolt premier and Equinox Ev 3LT, Thanks
Great info video for the Equinox. I just bought a Bolt in January and absolutely Love it! But they just announced they are discontinuing the Bolt 😬☹️but I had already been thinking ahead to the Equinox because it’s more the size of our CRV. One thing is for sure, the all Electric Vehicle is much better than any ICE I’ve ever driven and the only advantage of the hybrid is the range. The way you show us the features of the Equinox it looks like it’s going to be another modern perfect car. Apparently the Ultium battery platform is the reason GM is dropping the Bolt so I just hope they are making the right business move because I think they are making great EV Cars.
We were the owners of two cars; a 2010 Honda Accord and a 2018 Honda Fit, and we decided to sell the Accord while the price of good used cars was very high. We banked the sale of the Accord, and that money will go towards a new EV in 2023. We've been looking at getting a new EV, and when the new $7,500 rebate was revealed, that sealed the deal for us. This is a very nice-looking EV, and we have already set our high watermark at $30,000 for a new car. If they can deliver this car in that price range, we will definitely give it a serious look. However, we are also interested to see what offerings Honda is yet to reveal. Based on our research, there is supposed to be a joint venture between Honda and GM, and having been Honda owners for many years, we are anxious to see what they have in store. If you have any information on new Honda/GM EV's for 2023 please let us know.
I already decided to buy one well before this show. Been hearing nothing but great things about Chevy's Ultium platform since Mary grabbed LG by their ear and forced them into the joint venture w/GM engineers to make a solid and reliable battery design. I got my solar panels already installed, because I want to charge my EV up as much as possible on sunny days when the juice is FREE. Now I'm just waiting on this baby to show up at the dealership....
Did I miss something or was there not one single zonk?! I have owned my 2010 Equinox since 8/09. It has been a great vehicle but it's about time to upgrade! I'm impressed with this EV.
The new equinox ev looks amazing GM products is amazing and has came along way and is so much nicer love owning GM vehicle awesome find joe at the autoshow great job Lori also and really pretty blue also great job Chevy also what would look really pretty is a red and white combination
Considering the fact that the car is not in production, there is not much you can say about it. Most likely, the $30K model will be some rare base model that you cannot find (or will have some limiting factor that will make it undesirable). Also, the stealers will most likely have a huge markup. So, in the end, there most likely will be no $30K EV from GM.
The scite reads MSRP estimated $30,000 i was planning on picking up a 23 chevy bolt euv but if this thing can really be around 30,000$ then sheesh ill just wait for this beast to drop
You make a great point. The Bolt EUV optioned up can range from 30-35k. A bargin itselt these days. But if the 2LT fwd equinox comes in around that 35k mark it would be the better choice with better range and more room.
@@bathurstrenesis I think this Equinox would be perfect for me, but decided to get the Bolt now. Because it's NOW. If need be I will sell the Bolt in a few years and get an Equinox then. I'm just sick and tired of pollution.
They should put cd players back in cars with bluetooth and satelite radio. It'll be better for people if a car have every way somebody can play music. What do people supposed to do with all the cd's they have from years ago? Cd's still work
The price seems great, but it cost minimum $25 per month for phone app access (lock, unlock start stop car). And super cruise is also $25 per month for active cruise control and keeping in the lane. That’s $50 a month which is quit pricy over 10 years $4-6k additional over the year. Toyota has app access for $80 a year and other companies comes with lane keep assist for no monthly charge.
The AWD 2RS which this is isn't going to not going to be 30-40K, more like 60 with two motors/awd. Only the front wheel drive 1LT with nothing will be 30's something.
Currently have a 2015 Equinox LT AWD. Been looking at this Equinox EV with AWD. If the price point is right, it's a definite must buy for me. I will be purchasing the highest trim available. There's just something about the Equinox that I really enjoy.
I've admired the look of this Equinox from the first time I saw it. It's gorgeous. I want one, but bc it's not available as of Dec 22, and we need another ride, we went for the VW ID4 instead. When this comes out, and if it's priced mid 30s for a well equipped version, GM will eat Tesla for lunch. More importantly, this car, and the Silverado EV if executed properly ( i.e. no battery fires, tight assembly, comfortable seats etc) will allow GM to recoup some share they have lost to Toyota, Honda and Mazda over the past 30 years. For reasons that I don't fully understand, the Japanese OEMs have missed the EV train completely. This is a huge opportunity for GM to be on the front foot for once, build confidence in their brands, deliver actual value for money to car buyers ( you know the ppl who pay all the bills) and generate some real scale in EVs. Apart from the current Bolt EV and EUV, and the Leaf, there is no competent EV product in the market as of today, well equipped in the mid 30s. GM has shown they know how to do this stuff, they just need to execute.
Beautiful vehicle. The EQUINOX has been manufactured in my hometown of Ingersoll, Ontario Canada. I hope this EV will also be manufactured there.....JOBS....Go USA (and Canada)...great video as usual.
@@ronlaverdiere Wasnt aware of that, I read some stuff about this a few years back, but again, there is always 2 sides to a story. I'll check ot out more. I'm sure that there are asshole managers and people quit.
@@ronlaverdiere Really? My BIL and my cousin have worked at Ramos Arizpe for over 15 years, and they are both card-carrying members of the UAW. Sounds like someone is feeding you a line of BS bro.
Another great video…I made a reservation for this one, an ID4 and The Nissan Ariya. I Want to turn one of my car EV between 2022 CX5 and an Q5. Hope You ll make a video for the 2023 Ariya and the 2023 ID4. Thx for this one Joe!
This vehicle is the EV tidal wave of change consumers have been waiting for. 300 miles and $30,000. Game changer. Watch this one soar 💨. GM use to be pure low end junk. Not anymore folks. 🇺🇸
I am looking at the white top and seats and I do not like it. Just so easy to get dirty and stay dirty and stain especially on the interior, I came out of mechanical field and I see nothing but issues with the white. The other thing is the show vehicle is top of the range I really like to see the company show what they intend for the middle and lower price points. The final issue I have is the dealers need to go to the sticker price and no additional dealer markups that immediately turns me off and I will always walk out of a dealer that has them and wait for the lease returns in a few years
I’m in the market for a ev car, but they are all (nice ones) over $45k. This is definitely an option. Does it ride well tho? I love the “purse slot” in the center console. I don’t like the two tone, but in one full color. I’m about to get on the list.
Really glad that Chevy continues to invest in the lower-end EVs instead of just racking in the cash at the top end. BTW, the French pronunciation of "Detroit" gives the city, I don't know, je ne sais quoi or even panache.
Back lift gate area looks cheesy somewhat like the Nissan Leaf. What about the one pedal driving mode if it has one? Also, drive mode shift lever looks strange.
Well you have to give Chevy some credit here. The styling of the Equinox EV, Blazer RS, and Silverado RST EV are all a styling success. These EV vehicles will age well among the styling snafu of the competition. Range of over 400 miles on the pick-up is done right.
Man if they can make this happen, especially with those 2 lower price trims, they have a big winner on their hands.
You are so very right!

Ya im definitely trading in my 2017 volt for this next year 🙏
Looks great!! Maybe a little worried about the white dash being reflective in sunny weather, but I'm loving everything else about it.
Love all except the white dash...........Paul
We will have to wait and see how it all pans out.
That is understandable.
looks like a spaceship inside! 👍🙂
Pretty much!
I am impressed that they went all out with the interior. It's really quite beautiful.
The AWD 2RS which this is isn't going to not going to be 30-40K, more like 60 with two motors/awd. Only the front wheel drive 1LT with nothing will be 30's something.
Currently have a 2015 Equinox LT AWD. Been looking at this Equinox EV with AWD. If the price point is right, it's a definite must buy for me. I will be purchasing the highest trim available. There's just something about the Equinox that I really enjoy.
my sister & i are going to get one & go 50/50
I've admired the look of this Equinox from the first time I saw it. It's gorgeous. I want one, but bc it's not available as of Dec 22, and we need another ride, we went for the VW ID4 instead. When this comes out, and if it's priced mid 30s for a well equipped version, GM will eat Tesla for lunch. More importantly, this car, and the Silverado EV if executed properly ( i.e. no battery fires, tight assembly, comfortable seats etc) will allow GM to recoup some share they have lost to Toyota, Honda and Mazda over the past 30 years. For reasons that I don't fully understand, the Japanese OEMs have missed the EV train completely. This is a huge opportunity for GM to be on the front foot for once, build confidence in their brands, deliver actual value for money to car buyers ( you know the ppl who pay all the bills) and generate some real scale in EVs. Apart from the current Bolt EV and EUV, and the Leaf, there is no competent EV product in the market as of today, well equipped in the mid 30s. GM has shown they know how to do this stuff, they just need to execute.
Very nice 😀 I'll have to see that interior in person. What I want to see now are the mainstream models or lower trims and how they end up.
I will be bringing more of it to you!
Viva Chevrolet! Viva Raiti's Rides!
Gracias mi amigo!
@@RaitisRides You have to chant "Viva!" to show pride!
Looks good!
I agree with you!
Beautiful vehicle. The EQUINOX has been manufactured in my hometown of Ingersoll, Ontario Canada. I hope this EV will also be manufactured there.....JOBS....Go USA (and Canada)...great video as usual.
That is really awesome man!
It will be made in Mexico. Chico doesnt need the UAW and probably will take his job with more pride.
@@bmw803 yeah lots of pride. That is why they have such high turnover rates in Mexican plants, because of their pride. Yep.
@@ronlaverdiere Wasnt aware of that, I read some stuff about this a few years back, but again, there is always 2 sides to a story. I'll check ot out more. I'm sure that there are asshole managers and people quit.
@@ronlaverdiere Really? My BIL and my cousin have worked at Ramos Arizpe for over 15 years, and they are both card-carrying members of the UAW. Sounds like someone is feeding you a line of BS bro.
Another great video…I made a reservation for this one, an ID4 and The Nissan Ariya. I Want to turn one of my car EV between 2022 CX5 and an Q5. Hope You ll make a video for the 2023 Ariya and the 2023 ID4. Thx for this one Joe!
I want to see the long term test drive and reliability.
Wondering how will be rolling comfort compare to Ioniq 5. Someone has to test it, though.
Why get a Tesla 3 if you can get this instead I'm sure for what the Tesla 3 is going for. 🤔
This vehicle is the EV tidal wave of change consumers have been waiting for. 300 miles and $30,000. Game changer. Watch this one soar 💨.
GM use to be pure low end junk. Not anymore folks. 🇺🇸
GM still makes junk, just not as bad as Chrysler.
@@richardgray8593 exactly 👍. But this has the price in a new market.
I am looking at the white top and seats and I do not like it. Just so easy to get dirty and stay dirty and stain especially on the interior, I came out of mechanical field and I see nothing but issues with the white. The other thing is the show vehicle is top of the range I really like to see the company show what they intend for the middle and lower price points. The final issue I have is the dealers need to go to the sticker price and no additional dealer markups that immediately turns me off and I will always walk out of a dealer that has them and wait for the lease returns in a few years
I was a buyer for the Ioniq 5 but this Equinox EV w 7500 tax rebate is a winner!!
Very pretty. How does it perform?
Excellent review . Fabulous looking new cuv ev. Should be a winner
9:30 a bag of apples? Joe, that’s unusually healthy for you. You feeling okay? 😂
I bumped my head! LOL
This could definitely rival the top brands. Very nice design!
Happy Friday, Joe!
Thanks David! Same to you man!
Lane change radar needed due to the d pillar. Otherwise a well rounded package.
I’m in the market for a ev car, but they are all (nice ones) over $45k. This is definitely an option. Does it ride well tho?
I love the “purse slot” in the center console. I don’t like the two tone, but in one full color. I’m about to get on the list.
It's wild that this car is considered compact. It's MASSIVE.
You need to see it in person.
@@RaitisRides Is it bigger or smaller in person?
Welcome to my city Raiti!!
Thanks Jovan!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the great work real talk true and I love the video lot more real true 👍 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You got it Dominic!
Nice overview. I wish there is a ski pass through.
im on my Chevy bolt 2017. I would love to upgrade to this model.
I am glad that you are liking this one.
Really glad that Chevy continues to invest in the lower-end EVs instead of just racking in the cash at the top end. BTW, the French pronunciation of "Detroit" gives the city, I don't know, je ne sais quoi or even panache.
yes
I’m glad that you approve
I can't believe it. Chevrolet finally made 2 ev's
And the fact they look good.
Nice rig! Kudos to Chevy on this beauty!!!
I have driven Japanese cars all my life. This may very well become the first American car I'll buy.
Looks great Joe. Thanks for the info!
Of course Ryan!
That car Go Hard 💯Go Hard 💯, On , Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯

I am so glad that you are digging this Equinox Terrell.
Back lift gate area looks cheesy somewhat like the Nissan Leaf. What about the one pedal driving mode if it has one? Also, drive mode shift lever looks strange.
It will be interesting to see how this goes!
Please create an EV version of the high tier version (LTZ/Premier) of the impala, Chevy.
Looking forward to comparing this with the ID4
Well you have to give Chevy some credit here. The styling of the Equinox EV, Blazer RS, and Silverado RST EV are all a styling success. These EV vehicles will age well among the styling snafu of the competition. Range of over 400 miles on the pick-up is done right.
