2026 Chevy Equinox EV Trims overview – First Look
2026 Equinox EV trims explained and how Chevrolet separates LT 1, LT 2, and RS
If you are comparing the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV, the best starting point is understanding what Chevrolet builds into each of the three models. Chevrolet highlights LT 1 as the value focused entry point, LT 2 as the style and convenience step up, and RS as the bold look model with a sportier attitude. The good news is that the core Equinox EV story stays consistent across the lineup, with Chevrolet emphasizing everyday usability, a large center screen, and a long range target that supports commuting and weekend travel.

- How they differ: Entry value, step up convenience, and bold RS appearance with added tech focus
LT 1 trim details and why it is the starting point for range focused electric driving
Chevrolet positions Equinox EV LT 1 as the model that covers the essentials with a strong range highlight. Chevrolet lists 319 miles of EPA-estimated electric range with FWD and 307 miles of EPA-estimated electric range with available AWD. If your shopping priority is maximizing range value, LT 1 is built around that headline number while keeping the vehicle simple to live with day to day.
Chevrolet also calls out over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, which helps LT 1 feel like more than an entry badge. Add in the 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen, and LT 1 has the same big display foundation that defines the Equinox EV cabin experience. This trim makes the most sense for shoppers who want the range headline, the core screen experience, and a broad safety baseline without prioritizing appearance upgrades first.
- Range highlight: 319 miles EPA-estimated with FWD, 307 miles EPA-estimated with available AWD
- Core standard tech: 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen
LT 2 trim upgrades that focus on style, comfort, and everyday convenience features
Equinox EV LT 2 is where Chevrolet starts to lean into features that make the SUV feel more finished for daily routines. Chevrolet lists bright roof rails and highlights wireless phone charging, which is the type of convenience that becomes noticeable quickly if your phone is always in your hand. Chevrolet also highlights advanced safety features such as HD Surround Vision, adding extra visibility support when parking lots and tight spaces are part of your day.
LT 2 is also the gateway to a more comfort-focused feature set through Convenience Package II. Chevrolet lists ventilated driver and front passenger seats, a front passenger 6-way power seat adjuster, and automated walk-up lighting as package highlights. If you want Equinox EV to feel more upscale in the seats and small details, LT 2 is typically the trim where those choices open up.
- Convenience details: Wireless phone charging and bright roof rails
- Available package: Convenience Package II highlights include ventilated front seats and automated walk-up lighting
RS trim highlights and what Chevrolet adds for bold looks and a sportier attitude
Chevrolet frames Equinox EV RS as the trim for bold looks, and the visual details reflect that goal. Chevrolet lists black emblems and mirrors along with 21-inch black wheels, giving RS a darker, more performance styled appearance compared to LT models. If you want your EV to look as distinctive as it feels to drive, RS is the model that is built around that visual presence.
RS also leans into the tech experience by pairing the 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen with Google built-in compatibility. Chevrolet lists standard Chevy Safety Assist and also highlights safety and driver assistance features such as HD Surround Vision. RS is a strong match for shoppers who want the largest screen experience front and center, want bold exterior styling, and still want an emphasis on driver assistance features.
- Design cues: Black emblems and mirrors with 21-inch black wheels
- Tech highlight: 17.7-inch diagonal center touch-screen with Google built-in compatibility
Range, charging, and daily usability features that stay important no matter which trim you choose
Range and charging are part of every Equinox EV decision, even when you are mainly shopping for appearance or comfort. Chevrolet highlights the 319 mile EPA-estimated range figure with FWD models and also lists 307 miles EPA-estimated with available AWD. For drivers who want to stretch each charge, Chevrolet highlights Regen on Demand, One Pedal Driving, and cabin preconditioning as tools designed to help you get the most out of your driving range.
When you need charging support away from home, Chevrolet highlights access to more than 250,000 available public chargers, and the myChevrolet mobile app is positioned as a route planning and charging station finding tool. Chevrolet also notes that through the myChevrolet mobile app you can access over 20,000 Tesla Superchargers and that you will need a GM-approved NACS DC adapter. If charging access is a top priority, those tools can be worth discussing with your team while you compare trims and availability.
