Driving the 2026 Equinox EV feels incredibly smooth, especially when navigating the traffic around Peach Street or merging onto I-79. I appreciated the instant acceleration, it feels responsive without being overwhelming and the available electric AWD adds confidence when Erie’s snowfall ramps up. Whether I’m running errands downtown or taking a scenic route along Presque Isle, the ride stays controlled, quiet, and comfortable.

Performance Impressions

  • Immediate torque makes everyday acceleration effortless
  • Available AWD increases traction in snow, rain, and slushy winter conditions
  • Quiet cabin enhances long trips on I-90 or Route 5
  • Balanced suspension absorbs bumps and uneven surfaces common around older Erie roads

Inside the Equinox EV, the technology feels intuitive and easy to live with. I liked how natural it felt to navigate the touchscreen and how smoothly my phone connected. The layout doesn’t distract, it enhances the experience, especially for busy families and commuters who depend on seamless connectivity.

Technology Highlights

  • Clear, responsive center touchscreen with straightforward controls

Space & Practicality for Real-World Use

A Compact SUV Designed for Erie Living

One of the things I value most about the 2026 Equinox EV is its practicality. Even with its electric platform, the SUV still offers the roomy cargo flexibility and seating comfort Erie drivers expect. Whether I’m hauling home-improvement supplies, packing for a weekend at Presque Isle State Park, or picking up the kids from activities, the layout just makes day-to-day life easier.

  • Flat load floor for simpler packing and unloading
  • Supportive seating with generous legroom
  • Clever storage spaces that help reduce clutter

Safety That Gives You Peace of Mind

Chevrolet equips every 2026 Equinox EV with its latest safety and driver-assist technology. I found the alerts and support features helpful without being intrusive, especially when navigating winter conditions or busier stretches like Peach Street and the Bayfront Connector.

Safety Features That Stand Out

  • Standard Chevy Safety Assist driver-assistance suite
  • Lane-keeping features that gently help maintain direction
  • Emergency braking systems designed to help avoid collisions
  • Adaptive cruise functions ideal for longer highway trips
