The 2025 Chevy Equinox and the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV represent two paths within Chevrolet’s SUV lineup. They combine style and technology but offer different powertrains. While the gas-powered Equinox maintains the brand’s legacy of reliable performance, the all-electric Equinox EV marks a bold step toward an electrified future. 

Below is a comparison of key differences between the two models in terms of performance, design, technology, and efficiency.

Performance

The 2025 Chevy Equinox comes in two distinct versions. The traditional model features a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. It offers smooth acceleration, responsive handling, and fuel efficiency estimated at 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. For those seeking added stability, all-wheel drive is also available. Meanwhile, the 2025 Equinox EV provides an all-electric option, boasting a range of up to 319 miles on a full charge, depending on the trim level. With instant torque and a whisper-quiet ride, the electric model offers a distinctly different driving experience. Its fast-charging capability adds about 70 miles of range in just 10 minutes with a DC fast charger, making it an excellent choice for long drives and commutes.

Design

Both the Equinox and the Equinox EV share Chevy’s modern, sleek design language, but the EV takes a more futuristic approach. The gas-powered Equinox continues with a familiar look, featuring a bold front grille, sharp LED lighting, and a muscular stance. The Equinox EV, by contrast, boasts a more aerodynamic shape, closed-off grille, and distinct LED signature lighting that gives it a futuristic edge.

Interior Amenities and Cargo Space

The 2025 Chevy Equinox offers a cozy, family-friendly cabin with standard cloth seating, supportive cushions, a standard heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and an available power-adjustable driver’s seat. Higher trims enhance comfort with suede microfiber upholstery, ventilated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. 

For cargo, the Equinox provides 29.8 cubic feet behind the second row, expandable to 63.5 cubic feet, with the rear seats folded flat. This offers ample room for groceries, luggage, or outdoor gear.

While also focused on comfort, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV has a more streamlined, modern aesthetic. It features spacious seating with standard Evotex upholstery and heated front seats. Ventilated front seats are available in higher trims. 

The EV’s cabin offers a quieter ride due to its electric powertrain, which minimizes road noise. Regarding cargo space, the Equinox EV provides up to 57.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, slightly less than the gas-powered model but still practical for daily use and weekend adventures.
