After confirming the arrival of Chevrolet‘s all-electric crossover in China with the first local leak of the model last September, new images of the all-new Chevy Equinox EV have just appeared in the Asian country.
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a new future product statement from General Motors’ SAIC-GM joint venture for the all-new Chevy Equinox EV, leaking new images and technical features of the vehicle in two different configurations before the automaker’s official unveiling of the model in the country.
Unlike the previous leak that showed the crossover in the sporty RS trim level with AWD, the newly released images of the all-new Chevy Equinox EV in China show the crossover in two distinctive variants equivalent to the 1LT and 3LT trims of the model for North America. Both trims are equipped with front-wheel drive and a single-motor drivetrain mounted on the front axle, but with two different power outputs.
Aesthetically, the new Chevy Equinox EV variants leaked in China remain consistent with the already mentioned trim levels for the North American market. The base variant presents a simple look with matte black trim and no decorative elements, while the intermediate variant adds body-color wheel arches, chrome moldings, roof rails and the horizontal light strip that connects the headlamps. Its only difference from the American 3LT model is the transparent taillamp lenses.
The Chinese-market Chevy Equinox EV’s powertrains are made up of a front-mounted Ultium Drive motor that generates 150 kW or 201 horsepower in the base variant equivalent to the 1LT, and 180 kW or 241 horsepower in the mid-level trim. SAIC-GM’s statement reveals that the base Equinox EV is powered by a ternary lithium-ion battery pack, while the mid-range version has a lithium iron phosphate battery.
The all-new Chevy Equinox EV is expected to be officially introduced in China during the first half of this year, as Chevrolet’s first all-electric vehicle based on the Ultium architecture to be manufactured and marketed in that country. As such, the zero-emission compact crossover will play a strategic role in the rollout of the Bow Tie brand’s electric vehicle strategy in the world’s largest automotive market.

What do you mean by leaked?
We have seen this vehicle for five years now. Maybe one day GM will actually start building it and sell it to the public HaHa
For sure, but if it ain’t ready, let them have it ready. What’s the rush? I don’t get it. People b!tch at the Mach E as it was a rushed product, and simultaneously b!tch at GM, because the Equinox isn’t out yet? Am I missing a logic here?
@Joe Mariconadas
It was a sarcastic post about the photos of the EV Nox being leaked Lol
Joe Mariconadas they rushed the Blazer EV to market and apparently the software wasn’t ready yet they need stop advertising that this and that car will be out in 2025 or whatever I would rather purchase a car with all the bugs worked out first .
It’s all clickbait these days. Content nowadays is worthless…it’s all generated by offshore content farms or GPT.
The internet is ripe for an overhaul, we deserve better.
This would be a perfect next vehicle for me after my Bolt EUV lease is up. I’m still hoping they change their mind about CarPlay before then. If not, no go for me. Such a shame.
I like this and I to am guessing that GM will offer Android auto and car play because people are very upset that they can’t have it or at least make it an option.
Same BEV3 platform and build location for US market sales as the troubled Blazer EV. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe they’ll figure it out by the time the Equinox EV is intro’d…or maybe not.
Delay, delay, delay. With so much pent-up demand sales price of dealers will be above MRSP by a considerable amount is my guess.
Might be best to wait until bugs are worked out of a new model and the clamor dies down and MRSP is adhered to.
