If you go to a Chevrolet dealer, you’ll most likely see more than a few Equinox EVs on the lot. But these compact electric vehicles are hot right now, with buyers scooping them up. The Equinox EV is helping Chevy sell more electric vehicles than Ford, and become one of the fastest-growing EV brands in the country. So why the Equinox EV?
Eco-Conscious Equipment and Features
The Equinox EV is designed to provide the performance car buyers expect from a Chevy, but in the most environmentally friendly and efficient way possible. It uses an Ultium lithium-ion battery pack to keep the 210-horsepower motor going. This makes it even more powerful than the gas-powered Equinox.
The four-wheel drive version of the Equinox EV generates 290 horsepower and uses a powertrain that’s more eco-friendly than a gas engine. The battery allows drivers to travel up to 300 miles before they need to stop and charge back up, and what’s even better, is it only takes about ten minutes to get back to 70 percent.
Cutting Edge Tech
While much of the focus may be on clean driving and eco-friendly features, the Equinox EV does not skimp on tech. It comes standard with an 11-inch touchscreen to house the infotainment system. This makes it easy to access and manage all your media, hands-free-calling, and navigation.
Alongside the large touchscreen, there’s also an 11-inch digital information display for the driver. It displays all kinds of important information about how your Equinox EV is performing and how much of a charge you have left.
Slick and Comfortable Accommodations
You can get comfortable and enjoy the ride in the Equinox EV. The cabin feels roomy and gives all is passengers plenty of space to spread out and stretch their legs. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are available along with a power-adjustable driver’s seat.
The available ventilated front seats will make hot summer drives more comfortable, and if you let someone else drive your car, the driver’s seat memory settings mean you can get back to your favorite position with just the push of a button.
Staying Safe on Any Drive
The Equinox EV is designed to keep its driver and passengers safe with features that help prevent accidents. Forward collision alert with automatic braking and lane departure warning will keep you from getting too close to vehicles in front of you and beside you, while front pedestrian can detect when a pedestrian crosses your path and will put the brakes on if you don’t see them.
Driving at night is safer, too with headlights that know just when to switch from high to low. You don’t have to think about it, just keep your eyes on the road ahead and your Equinox EV will take care of it.
EVs are becoming more practical and powerful than ever. Do you want to drive one of the hottest ones on the road? Head to a Chevrolet dealer and check out the Equinox EV.
