The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV is now on sale, starting at $34,995 for the base LT1 FWD trim with an EPA-estimated range of up to 319 miles. However, for the 2027 model year, it is no longer the most affordable electric vehicle with over 315 miles of range.

The vehicles differ in size and features. The Equinox is larger, offering slightly more maximum cargo space at 57.2 cubic feet compared to the EV3's 56.5 cubic feet. The Equinox features a 17.7-inch central touchscreen, while the Kia EV3's infotainment system includes dual 12.3-inch displays and a separate 5-inch climate control screen.
