The engineering approach of the Chevrolet extends to active and passive safety systems integrated throughout the vehicle's structure. The rigid frame uses high-strength materials designed to manage impact energy effectively. The braking and traction systems coordinate with the electronic power steering for improved stability during emergency maneuvers.
The all-wheel drive configuration further enhances traction distribution through its dual-motor layout, maintaining consistent control on varying surfaces. Disc braking across all four wheels ensures reliable stopping force and thermal efficiency during prolonged operation.

Interior Space and Passenger Comfort
Inside the cabin, proportions have been calculated for consistent passenger space and cargo versatility. The front seating area provides 39.15 inches of headroom, 41.65 inches of legroom, and 58.64 inches of shoulder room. Rear passengers receive 38.49 inches of headroom, 38 inches of legroom, and 55.45 inches of shoulder room. Hip room measures 55.95 inches in the front and 50.7 inches in the rear.
Passenger volume totals 102.24 cubic feet, giving the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV a spacious layout for its class. Cargo capacity reaches 26.4 cubic feet behind the second-row seats and expands to 57.2 cubic feet with those seats folded. The structure and layout create functional space that maintains practicality without compromising seating comfort.

Power Systems and Drive Configurations
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV runs on a fully electric propulsion system configured in two distinct setups. The single-motor front-wheel drive model produces 220 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque through a permanent magnet bar-wound motor. This arrangement prioritizes efficiency and simplicity, providing dependable output suitable for daily driving.
The dual-motor all-wheel drive model generates 300 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque, combining a front permanent magnet motor with a rear induction motor that operates without magnets. The difference in motor design allows balanced traction across various road conditions while maintaining consistent energy delivery.
Gear ratios are optimized to manage torque application and speed distribution. The front gear ratio measures 11.59:1, while the rear ratio is 11.0:1, creating an effective balance between acceleration and cruising efficiency. Both systems use direct drive for seamless power transfer without the need for gear shifting, enhancing the quietness and smoothness associated with electric operation.
Battery Engineering and Energy Storage
Energy storage in the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV depends on a rechargeable system composed of multiple linked modules designed for stability and endurance. The lithium-ion battery uses an NCMA cathode chemistry combined with a blended graphite anode. This chemical structure promotes efficient charge retention and consistent voltage delivery under different temperature and load conditions.
The vehicle's range is measured through EPA estimates. The front-wheel drive version provides approximately 319 miles on a full charge, while the all-wheel drive version offers about 285 miles. These results depend on terrain, temperature, battery condition, and driving habits, but represent an optimized standard of range performance for an electric crossover in this segment.
Disclaimer: On a full charge. Actual range may vary based on several factors, including ambient temperature, terrain, battery age and condition, loading, and how you use and maintain your vehicle.
Charging Capabilities and Power Flow
Charging technology in the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has been designed for compatibility with both home and public systems. The standard 11.5 kW Level 2 AC charger adds an estimated 36 miles of range for every hour of charge. For faster replenishment, DC public fast charging at up to 150 kW can provide about 77 miles of range in ten minutes under ideal conditions.
The system's charge rate varies based on external temperature, charger output, and the battery's state of charge. Safety protocols monitor heat levels and current flow to protect the battery during extended use. The structure of the charging system reflects the approach of Chevrolet to ensuring long-term reliability through intelligent management of electrical load and temperature.
Structural Design and Dimensions
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV features a compact yet spacious frame optimized for balance and aerodynamic efficiency. It rides on a wheelbase of 116.3 inches, contributing to stability and smooth cornering. The total length measures 190.55 inches, with an overall width of 84.85 inches when mirrors are extended and 76.94 inches with mirrors folded. The total height stands at 64.8 inches, which maintains a low center of gravity ideal for electric vehicle dynamics.
The track width measures 63.45 inches in the front and 63.69 inches in the rear. Ground clearance of 6.4 inches provides flexibility for uneven road surfaces without compromising aerodynamic flow. The approach angle is 17.8 degrees, and the departure angle is 23.3 degrees, enabling confident clearance over driveways and slight inclines.
Suspension, Steering, and Braking Systems
The Chevrolet suspension system combines independent MacPherson® struts in the front with a multi-link design in the rear. Both ends include stabilizer bars that limit body roll during cornering and maintain cabin comfort across rough surfaces. The setup achieves a precise balance between responsiveness and stability across all trims.
The vehicle's rack-mounted electric power steering system ensures consistent feedback with minimal vibration. The steering ratio delivers measured control for both low-speed maneuvering and highway stability, supported by a turning circle of 38.06 feet, allowing easy movement in compact parking spaces.
Braking performance comes from four-wheel disc brakes with 17-inch rotors. This uniform braking layout ensures predictable stopping distances and effective heat dissipation during repeated use.
Wheel and Tire Engineering
The wheel selection of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV contributes both to appearance and performance efficiency. Aluminum wheels are available in 19-inch and 21-inch configurations, each calibrated to complement the vehicle's suspension geometry. The standard tires include 245/55R19 Michelin® and 275/40R21 Continental options. Both configurations are rated for balanced traction, durability, and low rolling resistance to optimize range and handling.
Trim-Specific Features and Design Variation
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV is produced in several trims, each distinguished by equipment variations and design elements. The LT1 trim provides foundational features emphasizing practicality and accessible electric performance. The LT2 trim integrates additional technology and convenience upgrades, aligning with drivers who prioritize expanded interior functions. The RS trim presents sport-inspired details with distinctive exterior styling and performance-oriented design cues.
Each trim shares the same underlying power systems, suspension architecture, and safety structure, ensuring consistency in driving dynamics across the lineup.
Charging Efficiency and Battery Longevity
Battery conditioning and temperature control remain integral to long-term system health. The battery modules include internal thermal regulation that stabilizes energy distribution during both charging and discharge cycles. Continuous monitoring of voltage and current ensures uniform output across cells, preserving capacity and maintaining consistent driving range throughout the vehicle's lifecycle.
The electrical systems of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV are calibrated to minimize energy loss between components, providing a direct correlation between battery input and drive output efficiency.
