Chevrolet Equinox EV 2026

$46,199 CAD · 513 km range · 85 kWh · SUV

The Chevrolet Equinox EV is GM's most important EV for Canadian-market math. At a sub-$43,000 base MSRP, the Equinox EV qualifies for the full federal iZEV $5,000 rebate, bringing the net under $38,000 in any province. Stack provincial rebates and the Quebec or BC out-the-door price comes in around $30,000 — competitive with the cheapest Chinese imports without the dealer-network uncertainty. Range sits at 513 km on the FWD trim — meaningfully above the Chevy Bolt's 417 km. DC fast charging tops out at 150 kW, mid-pack. Interior treatment is conservative — this is not the BYD Atto 3's design statement; this is GM's mainstream-buyer aesthetic. The 2026 model year brings improved infotainment and a small range bump. The Equinox EV is the Canadian-mass-market answer to the Chinese-EV pricing pressure — same vehicle category, similar net price after rebates, established dealer network.

Best-fit buyer

Canadian mainstream buyers cross-shopping a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. First-time EV buyers who want established dealer + service network. Anyone needing iZEV rebate eligibility.

Key trade-off

Conservative interior treatment compared to Korean or Chinese alternatives. DC fast charging is mid-pack, not class-leading.
