Calmon: The electric Chevrolet Equinox is expensive, but it’s also complete

The first contact took place at the GM test center in Indaiatuba (SP). Excellent high regenerative capacity without the need to press the brake

It’s easy to explain such high prices for imported electric models, like the Chevrolet Equinox. At the origin they are also high and here it is necessary to create specific infrastructures in the few dealers. Not to mention that, despite the lower import taxation (until 2026), internal taxation here remains much higher.

Included in this account is the devaluation of the real. Not even its Mexican origin solves why this tram fails to meet the location index required in Mercosur. Therefore, the price of R$419,000 was a “shock” at launch, but it is 12% less than the Blazer EV. GM will import Equinox gasoline this year, according to Autoesporte magazine.

The SUV has a very modern style and stands out with a clean front with a stylish LED strip from fender to fender and an impressive equipment package. The rear follows the same concept with interconnected lights progressing along the sides. Equally beautiful wheels. The 441-litre boot has a tailgate that opens as you approach it, without any kick in the air.

Dimensions just slightly smaller than the Blazer EV: 4,840 mm (L), 1,954 mm (W), 2,954 (EE) and 1,646 (H). Inside, there is ample space, especially for the knees of those sitting in the back seat. Only the hard plastic of the rear doors clashes with the good on-board materials. The 17.7-inch multimedia screen is impressive.

The first contact took place at the GM test center in Indaiatuba (SP). The high regenerative capacity is very good since you don’t have to press the brakes in stop-and-go conditions. Two identical electric motors, front and rear, for a total of 292 HP and 451 Nm with all-wheel drive on request. Acceleration is strong: 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds8.
