The 2027 Equinox EV gives you two powertrains to match your needs. The front-wheel-drive model delivers up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, ideal for daily commuting and regular trips around Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire.

If you want extra traction during Wisconsin's snow, slush, and changing seasonal conditions, the available all-wheel-drive model provides 307 miles of range while giving you added confidence on winter roads.

Both options come with 300-plus horsepower and the same advanced technology and safety features. The trade-off is straightforward: FWD maximizes your range; AWD adds traction and control for challenging weather.

Our Chevrolet specialists at Markquart Motors can help you compare both and discuss which makes sense for your commute and lifestyle. Call (715) 833-0444 or visit us to explore your options.
