Edmunds gave the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV a positive 64/100 rating, praising it as the new best value in the EV market. The standout strengths are exceptional economy (it's the cheapest way to get 300+ miles of range at under $35,000, and even achieved 356 miles in testing) and available Super Cruise hands-free driving, which Edmunds calls their favorite on the market. The main trade-offs are modest performance (0-60 in 7.8 seconds with front-wheel-drive handling limitations) and a spartan interior with black plastic and cloth seats rather than luxury materials, plus the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is the vehicle for budget-conscious EV shoppers who prioritize range, affordability, and practicality over performance and cabin premium materials.
