Our scoring places the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV at 7.7/10 overall, which translates to a Recommended rating for this ev. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.9/10, while Performance at 6.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability is the weak spot: 6.9/10, under the class average. Review the recall record on this page and price in extra maintenance headroom. The 8.9/10 safety score puts it near the top of the class on this dimension; the official trim-level results at nhtsa.gov are worth a final check.
Performance at 6.6/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. Tech rates a reasonable 7.9/10: the essentials are covered and well executed, but rivals at the same price often include more as standard.
Priced from $34,995–$44,849, 115 MPG, seating 5, the Chevrolet Equinox EV sits in the mid-market bracket of the ev segment. Value is where it presses its advantage — 8.5/10, meaning the feature set and quality outrun the asking price. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Our take: The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV is a solid, well-rounded ev that covers the essentials without obvious deal-breakers. The main caveat is reliability and performance — worth checking if those dimensions are priorities for you. For most buyers in this segment, it's a safe, dependable choice.
