2025 Chevy Equinox EV
Firstly, let us talk about the increased specifications. The 2025 model will now produce 220 hp (up from 213 hp) in the single-motor FWD version. On the other hand, the dual-motor performance AWD trim will now generate a decent 300 hp (up from 288 hp). These might be relatively minor boosts, but one would definitely appreciate this bump. Apart from that, the range will now be streamlined with LT and RS models.
The new lineup will include LT and RS models along with different packages. These are Comfort, Active Safety and Convenience Packages. Consequently, the 2LT variant will now become LT with standard features as optional. The base-LT trim will have Comfort, Active Safety 2 and Convenience Package options. Similarly, the higher LT and RS models will offer Active Safety Package 3 and Convenience Package 2 options.
For reference, the extra amenities found in the 2LT model in the 2024 trim will now be included in the Convenience Package. Furthermore, the features of the 3LT version will now be offered in the Convenience Package 2. With the RS lineup, the Convenience Package features will be standard along with black roof rails.
