With a futuristic design and cutting-edge technology, the new electric SUV from Chevrolet arrives to redefine the segment in Brazil.
As the market for electric cars grows rapidly, GM wants to show that it is ready to compete on equal terms with luxury brands like BMW and Volvo.
However, this new bet from Chevrolet holds interesting secrets that go beyond the competitive price. But what makes this model a real threat to the competition?

An SUV With Advanced Technology And Surprising Performance
According to GM, the Equinox EV, launched in Brazil as the brand’s second fully electric SUV, brings plenty of innovation.
Equipped with two electric motors, it offers an all-wheel drive system and a certified range of 443 km, according to Inmetro.
In addition, it comes with a power of 292 horsepower, providing a robust and efficient driving experience.
The Equinox EV was designed with the Ultium platform, which uses batteries as part of the vehicle’s structure. This not only reduces costs but also improves performance and onboard technology.
Chevrolet emphasizes that this is an SUV aimed at the premium market, competing directly with models like the BMW iX1 and the Volvo C40.
Equinox: Power And Range That Impress
With a price of R$ 419 thousand, the Equinox EV comes equipped with an 85 kW battery. This allows it to achieve up to 443 km of range in the Brazilian cycle.
The SUV is also compatible with alternating current (AC) charging of up to 22 kW and direct current (DC) of up to 150 kW, making the recharging process much faster for drivers.
The performance is equally remarkable, with a torque delivery of 46 kgfm.
Although its total power of 292 hp is lower than the 347 hp of the Blazer EV, another electric model from Chevrolet, it still stands out for its all-wheel drive system and high energy efficiency.
A Look At Design And Comfort
Despite carrying the name Equinox, the design of this SUV is completely renewed. The futuristic look is marked by LED headlights and taillights that connect both at the front and rear.
With 19-inch wheels and flush door handles, the Equinox EV stands out for its low body and smaller side windows, giving it a bold and modern aesthetic.
The interior is also impressive. The gear selector has been repositioned on the steering column, freeing up space in the center console, which now features cup holders and spacious storage compartments.
The highlight, however, is the 17.7-inch display with the Google Built-In system, which does not rely on external mirroring.
This system offers navigation specially designed for electric cars, optimizing range and indicating charging points along the way. The 11-inch configurable instrument panel is another technological element that reinforces the vehicle’s premium character.
Safety Equipment And Cutting-Edge Technology
Chevrolet has not skimped on the list of equipment for the Equinox EV, offering a wide range of driving aids and comfort items.
Among the highlights are adaptive cruise control, front collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic braking in reverse maneuvers, and blind-spot alert with active steering.
In addition, the electric SUV features automatic climate control, 360° cameras, a portable charger, and a panoramic sunroof.
The One Pedal system, which allows driving using only the accelerator, is present with three configurable driving modes, offering more practicality and comfort in driving.
Check out the complete list of the main equipment below:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Front Collision Warning With Pedestrian Detection
- Automatic Braking In Reverse Maneuvers
- Door Opening Alert With Pedestrian Detection
- Blind-Spot Alert With Active Steering
- Lane Keeping Assistance
- Trunk With Electric Opening And Closing
- Automatic Climate Control
- 360° Cameras
- Portable Charger
- One Pedal System With Three Driving Modes
- Driving Mode Selector
- Panoramic Sunroof
Tight Competition With Premium Brands
Chevrolet’s bet is high, targeting the luxury electric SUV market, such as the BMW iX1 and the Volvo C40. The Equinox EV offers generous dimensions and cutting-edge technologies to compete with these brands.
The SUV measures 4,840 mm in length, 1,954 mm in width, and 1,646 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,954 mm, providing a spacious interior. The trunk accommodates up to 441 liters, ideal for long trips and greater practicality in daily use.
The Ultium base, a platform developed by General Motors, gives the Equinox EV an important differential: the ability to integrate the batteries into the vehicle’s structure. This allows for greater rigidity and safety, as well as optimizing energy efficiency.
Equinox: A Future Electric Car For Chevrolet
With the Equinox EV, Chevrolet reaffirms its commitment to electrification in Brazil, promising more accessible and technological options in the coming years. This model shows how the brand is willing to compete aggressively in the premium segment, even with strong competition from European giants.
Now, the question is: is the Brazilian market ready to embrace this new generation of electric SUVs?
