2024 Chevy Equinox EV Looks Good In Blue: Video

View Comments

• Looks pretty good from what pictorial tidbits were shown. I would have liked to see a side view in its entirety. As well as full 3/4 views from the front and rear.

• Any information on where this model will be built? Maybe in Mexico and Canada, how is it currently?

  • It will be built in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico

• Not really a fan of the new Chevrolet EV front designs.

  • Evo69: I agree. Not sure why they (and others) need to make an EV look so much different from the regular cars. On this, the rest of the car and back looks terrific. But that front is just a little too much for my taste. Maybe I'll get used to it.

    • It is frowning at you, Dan. You ought to be nicer to it.

      EVs don't need big openings hidden behind grilles in the front. Stylists have more freedom to be creative and I think we're going to see many new and different looks up front in the coming years with EVs.

    • Really? No idea? Aero dynamics. Reverse tear drop. I hope you were joking.

    • @ Dan Berning and Evo69... First of all Dan the front ends are so different looking because there is no need for a grill there is really nothing to cool expect the brakes maybe, second Evo69 you really think this is ugly!? Have you seen the current 2022 Equinox or 2018-2021 Equinox it looks a glorified station wagon it's just higher off the ground, third I am glad that GM will still build the ICE along with the EV Equinox I am a current Equinox owner mine is a 2010 Equinox LTZ V6 and I love this car I also like the fact that this new EV design looks more like my Equinox and not like Chevy's version of the people's car lol! Oh and 300 miles of range would be perfect for me if it's more that's a bonus.

      • Nothing to cool.....

        Except of course for the batteries which produce massive heat and require about 3 to 4 heat exchangers and radiator, I'll be you think it doesn't have coolant either......

        • MrR:

          GM Evs all have 3 coolant loops.... Which require Changing at 5 year/ 150,000 mile intervals..

          In my VOLTEC Plug in hybrids (VOLT AND Caddy ELR), I flush the engine loop at 5 year intervals, but I don't bother with the other 2 coolant loops since they never get very hot and the coolant should last much longer.

          The batteries get more efficient as technological (think Ultium) progress is made..

          But unfortunately, most people on these blogs think like MARK TWAIN:

          "I'm all in favor of Progress - Its CHANGE I don't like."

        • MrR... And an improperly maintained or poorly designed ICE engine also produces MASSIVE HEAT... you ever hear of an head gasket needing replacement on some cars with less then 100,000 miles on them! EV's do use oil and antifreeze to cool in certain conditions both and that heat from an EV comes in handy in the cold winters we have in the northeast. You remind me of the person on here who says Hybrids are better LMAO... you really want a gas engine and EV power double the maintenance of one or the other plus most hometown mechanics won't go near a hybrid with a 10ft poll, RAV4 should have been a hybrid ten years ago and 50,000 dollars for a RAV4 NO THANKS my wife's Buick Enclave Essence was cheaper then that and the MPG are great as long as you don't drive like your in NASCAR!

        • You are the person that said "nothing to cool" which is beyond incorrect, don't pivot to whatever happens to an ICE engine, thats not what I am talking about.... and thats not a winning tactic......

        • No MrR it is a winning tactic out with the old and in with the new... Let's start over what I ment was no engine upfront to cool, the batteries are underneath basically like a floor board but it's batteries packed in between and yes they get cool from liquid similar to anti freeze that's built into the battery packets no need to change it like on ICE further more they also get air cooled being close to bottom of the car think of it like an old VW set-up. Just like I said before as long as your not putting the pedal to the metal the range is pretty good I bet this would match or better my V6 Equinox in range all with driving by the gas station. Unlike some people I am ready for the future weither it be ICE or EV... But please don't be a stumbling block.

        • Ment?

          Ok

          A person interested in learning something would say, "Ok, I understand, I didn't know they needed cooling" instead your poorly try to change the discussion to something about ICE, which was not what we were discussing,

          Then again you continue to make incorrect statements like-

          "no need to change it like on ICE" -Wrong, the coolant does need service intervals, on the GM electrics its about the same as an ICE car, 5yrs/150,000, if the battery pack makes it that long.

          "they also get air cooled being close to bottom of the car think of it like an old VW set-up"-Also wrong, air passing along something does not automatically make it "air cooled" the engine in your Equinox has air passing all around it in the engine compartment, but that doesn't make it air cooled, in really most air cooled cars are really oil cooled, and they have a fan pushing air over the engine and oil cooler, thats what an "old VW" has, the engine isn't cooled by "air passing along the bottom of the car", it uses as belt driven fan thats driven off the generator.

        • MrR your obviously an angry person who has a point to prove either that you or someone you know works in the oil or automotive business... Because you defend ICE and won't even let the EV technology make it's way into the market! The FACT IS THAT ICE ENGINES ARE OLD OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY! Car companies are the limits at what can be done with ICE which is why everything is turbo charged or Hybrid what are we supposed to do? Keep adding Cat convertes, more dumb shutter grills, more turbos, we are up to 10 speed automatic why not a 12 or 15 speed automatic, wheels and tires that squeeze every last frop of gas out of MPGs, air intake systems from the factory that are so restrictive that it feels like your car has asthma, smelly stinking gas and diesel exhaust, additives to disel for "THE ENVIRONMENT" LMFAO! What a joke all of this nonsense on ICE cars is paying some dumb as "Tech" at a dealership to work on a car then do it wrong anyway! THE AUTOMOTIVE REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN EITHER GET WITH IT OR GET LEFT BEHIND... THE CONTINUED USE OF OIL PRODUCTS IS NOT THE ANSWER!

        • TYPING IN CAPS!!!!

          The only angry person here is you, particularly after you keep getting corrected for your incorrect statements.

          At no point have I defended or talked down ICE, because that is not what we are talking about, I've simply pointed out factual errors in your statements that can be backed up and you continue to get angry, but you really only should be angry at yourself for your own ignorance.

          Batteries date back to the 1700's BTW.....

• That blue with the white roof is an awesome color Combo
  I think GM might have a hit on their hands with this Nox.....assuming they can produce them in high volume like Tesla can.

  • Yeah it will really take command of that .05% of the market for these....it might get .003% share, me and my husband would totally buy one of these for one of our 3 au pairs to drive our adopted kids around in......

    • Your husband must be miserable living with I bet you crack the wip on the poor guy... And you all you have to do is sit home and keep battling me! You have your good points and I have mine let's just leave at that. As for me weither or not GM is electric or ICE... I will always be a Chevy Man/GM MAN! REMEMBER I TYPE ON CAPSSSSSSSSSS.......!!!!!!!! 😛😛🤌🤌 I even laughed in one of comments LMAO stands for laughing my a** off BTW!

      • Not sure if you got the joke about the husband au pairs and electric cars....but it might be above your IQ level....

        Why do you assume I'm at home? I could be at my office as the head of the Department of Transportation.

• None of these ev designs matter, until the anti-fossil fuel idiots figure out how to make these vehicles affordable. We do not have the technology to do that now. Not to mention, parts needed to make batteries and computer chips all belong to China and Russia.

  • $30,000 is affordable when the cheapest imported EV is also $30,000. BTW, most of GM sales are in China but all that gained cash comes back to our U.S. banks.

  • Tony: Bolts are down from $39,000 to $32,000. Off lease with a nine (9) year warranty is a win-win. My understanding is Canada will be supplying raw materials for batteries and chips. That is GM and Korean company partnership. Those parts will then export to USA GM battery plants.

• This blue is better than the red and silver ones they’ve shown previously but it’s still an ugly vehicle in my opinion.

• Long horizontal single LED light design is the trend anymore. I think it is time for some automaker shake up the design trend.

  More interesting things will soon be revealed on the Nox.

• It would be nice if they bought my bolt back because of the fire hazard it is. It just sits there for 1 year. I will never buy from these sleezeballs again.

  • Will probably order one, but it'll only be used in the city so if it goes anywhere near 300 miles, I'll just need to charge in every other week. For any vacations, we'll use a real car that uses gas.

    • Smart man. Yeah you have to have a real vehicle, gas powered, to go on trips of 500 or more so you can get where you're going. EV with 300 mile range, and probably less with running all the accessories and charging phones, watching video etc will most likely put the range in the 250 area and when the battery starts to go bad it'll be 200 or less. It should be a choice and not forced. Your choice should be, if you want gas, drive it. If you want EV, get one. It shouldn't be this is the vehicle you will drive only

  • Get off your butt and ask GM to buy it back or swap it for another GM vehicle. I swapped 2 Bolts for other vehicles and am extremely happy. Whining about it online gets you no where, call them.

  • Yeah but think of all the money you're saving on gas.....you shouldn't really be driving anyway pleb....that's for the anointed....take the bus.

• I say no way to EV. Others should do the same. The range does not match a gas engine's range of 300 to 500 miles and probably never will. You cannot travel long distance and the time it takes to charge vs gas filling is to long. Cost of battery replacement and cost of car is a turn off. I'll stick with my gas engine and modify my driving. EV will NEVER replace gas engines

  • You're living with your head in the sand if you believe that EV's won't be able to eventually compete and outdo gas cars. Batteries do need to be improved, but with DC fast charging, it will be a matter of time before charging for another 200 miles will take minutes, not hours, and that will be enough. I agree we're not there yet, but back in the turn of LAST century they said gas engine cars would never replace horses...

    • You might own one but I never will. I do not want a car I have to charge with short driving range. When they can do 500 plus miles on a trip like my gas engine maybe then I'll consider one but not until then

    • Nothing you or anyone else says will convince me to buy EV. I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu that gets 300+ on every tank of fuel in city/highway combined and 500+ highway. Two years so we took our Malibu to myrtle beach and filled up at Keyser's Ridge, WV and drove 536 miles before having to fill up again, drove the last 90 miles to MB and ran all week on the 3/4 tank before filling up to go home. Can EV do that, I don't think so. Took a trip to Ohio and left with 3/4 of a tank of gas and 90 miles already on the gas. Drove 190 miles to our destination, ran some in Ohio and drove home 190 miles on THE SAME tank of gas before filling up at home and total driven was 477 miles. Can EV do that, I don't think so. I'd consider hybrid before EV bc at least you can put gas in it and not have to worry about charging bc the motor turning recharges it and you have gas to back you up. Instead of just going all in and saying EV they should start with hybrids bc they also run on electric to a certain point and maybe that will get people used to the idea. You can force things on people. What happens when kids get an ultimatum of do it or else, they won't do it. What will happen when adults are told that, do it or else, well most will stick the middle finger up. We all can and should be able to decide for ourselves what we are drive and not be told what we'll drive. It should be a choice and if you choose EV that's your choice and if you choose gas that's your choice. Don't say climate change bc thats a farce and rhetoric to get people to live a certain way and people just blindly follow. I never believed climate change nor will I ever. The government knows if you continuously preach something people will listen. Not all will but most gullible people will. Just like kids, if you tell them something enough after a while they listen. I guess our society has turned into a bunch of children but we already knew that.

      • Arthur how can the mileage in your Malibu jump that dramatically?? Every car I have ever owned gets the same range...my current Equinox LTZ V6 always gets about 410-420 miles of range on a fill up but my MPG is only a few MPG's off in city and highway driving not 400 miles on the highway ahd 200 in the city otherwise I would think I have a hole in my gas tank or there is something wrong with my car lol! Anyway this is only the beginning a few years from no EV's will be capable of 500-600 miles of range there are already at 300-400. Just give it a chance because ICE is not going away EV and ICE have coexist.

    • "Batteries do need to be improved, but with DC fast charging, it will be a matter of time before charging for another 200 miles will take minutes, not hours"

      Its always magic unicorn responses like this....

      When the next battery evolution comes....when the next charging evolution comes out.....just like were always around the corner from curing _________(pick the disease, cancer, aids, etc) in the next 5, 10...15 years.....yet... it never comes.

  • EV will replace gas engines and are doing so now. If we go to war with Russia, gas prices can go over $10 a gallon. EVs are the only that can be fueled for free by the Sun.

    • "Fueled free by the Sun?" Here in Massachusetts, we had one of the cloudiest December's on record a few months ago.

      • Gary: My understanding is solar production will even happen on cloudy days. Maybe not as productive as should be though. More importantly solar production increases in cooler or colder climate. Here is Florida, it does produce better than Arizona which is much hotter. More importantly it is about reducing 'carbon footprint' so that future generations will have a planet to live and survive on. No planet B.

        • I have solar panels and yes, even on cloudy days they produce power. An overcast day in the summer can vastly outproduce a sunny day in the winter.

      • If we go to war with Russia, you won't need your ICE or EV, you'll need a fallout shelter

    • Gas might go to $10 a gallon but electric isn't the answer. I like a car you go out, stick the key in and start and go and not one you have to charge to get where your going and maybe get home. Um EV runs on batteries and not sun power. What happens to rechargeable batteries after a while, they wear out and need replaced and even $2500 is to much for that. If it has 2 batteries and it needs 2 $5000 or more is definitely to much. After a while of spending on batteries you'll be wishing it was all gas. I have rechargeable batteries and when new they last 2 to 3 months in a remote and the more you recharge them the less they last and EV batteries will be the same and everyone will be regretting their choice

      • Arthur: Most BEV battery platforms have a nine (9) if not more warranty and probably more depending on usage. Reducing our 'carbon footprint' is important to future generations. BEV's are part of answer to what our planet is experiencing.

        • You are repeating the rhetoric the Democrats use. My gas engine is all the assurance I need to get where I'm going. Idc how long the warranty is, I don't want battery. You'll need that warranty to replace the batteries bc it'll cost nearly what the car does to replace them. No TY

        • After 7 or 9 years, I'm afraid the response will be, sorry we can't get that one anymore.

        • And current cars run the cleanest they ever have with very minimal emissions. They also only make up 10% of the emissions in the world so mixing in some electric cars here and there is going to do so little to the carbon footprint that it won't make much difference. Want to reduce our carbon footprint- stop importing so much crap from overseas and start making more things here thus reducing the use of massive polluting vessels and have politicians quit using jets and make them use the electric vehicles they are pushing us so hard into!

      • What happens when your timing belt and spark plugs are due for replacement? For my last ICE car it was going to cost $2000.
        And that's regular maintenance.
        Regular maintenance on my Bolt is rotate tires check fluids every 7500 miles and at 150,000 miles exchange the coolant from the systems.

        Not gonna cost $2000.

        And I've had a 2000 Canari which would have cost $5,000 or more to replace the engine after the head gasket blew. And the transmission was going.

        Cars have costs. Is that your point?

        • Ah newsflash nothing uses a timing belt these days and it doesn't cost more than 60.00 to 70.00 to replace simple spark plugs on most modern engines. All I have ever had to do to my ice cars in well over 120K miles is new plugs, oil changes and a few air filters. Never had to replace any timing chains or transmissions. The maintenance on most ICE vehicles is often grossly exaggerated to try and make a point. C&D ran a good article comparing electric to an average ICE and when everything is factored in like cost, insurance, electrical usage, fuel and upkeep there was very little difference between the two and the biggest factors involved how many miles you travel, of your area has enough chargers available and the climate and weather.

        • I do my own maintenance bc I don't mind doing it and all it takes is time. The only way I put them in a garage is if it's a computer issue I can't fix. I have a 2007 chevy cobalt that had 83,274 miles on it when I bought it in 2013 and it now has 207,000 miles, what did that, normal maintenance. Also in that cobalt I put iridium spark plugs in it in 2015 and they are still in the car with over 107,000 in 2022. Timing chains and head gaskets don't go as easy as you think and if you take care of them they take care of you. Now the battery in an EV I wouldn't want that expense. I pay maybe $150 for a battery, in an EV it might cost $2500 to $5000. Most have 2 batteries I've heard and it's one of those things when you replace one you better replace the other bc as soon as you don't you'll be going back in to do it. Your EV might start out as 300 mile range but as you charge the battery more and more it'll go to 275, 225, 200, 190 etc. then replacement. When you factor in charging cell phone, tablet, running A/C, maybe a movie of you have that, then your 300 mile range is definitely less. You keep believing it costs a ton to maintain a gas engine. The most I spend a year is changing oil and I do that myself. It costs maybe $100 a year and I don't complain about that. I don't go to oil change rip you off shops to pay $40 or more so they can find "other problems" just to make money. Sorry like I said EV isn't close to a gas engine and i doubt it ever will be. You keep believing the hype about EV and after you get one and find out you can't go long distance with it you'll have to buy a 2nd car, a gas engine, to take a long distance trip or a hybrid with gas in it. The idiots in government think they have the answers but those morans are far from correct. In a few months it'll all change when Democrats are voted out everywhere

• I really hope GM was smarter than to give this the same lighting treatment as the Bolt EUV. It appears once again the spot where you'd expect to see the brake/turn signals is just "signature" running lights. I see a larger-than-typical red section integrated into that back bumper that appears to very well be the brake/turn signals again. If that's the case, it seems GM is designing these to be huge risks of rear end collisions. :/. Hopefully they're reflectors, but given their size I don't think that's the case here.

  • I despise this design. All in the capitalist gonna reduce costs and make more money and screw the risks attitude of companies.
    And I love my Bolt, but I hate this. And GM is far from the only ones doing it.
