The 2027 Equinox EV comes in front-wheel-drive (FWD) and available all-wheel-drive (AWD) models. The FWD version delivers up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, while AWD provides 307 miles plus extra traction for challenging conditions.

In Wisconsin, AWD is worth considering. Snow, slush, rain, and seasonal changes put extra demands on traction, and available AWD can help you handle those conditions with more confidence. Your range will be slightly lower with AWD, but you gain peace of mind in winter driving.

Markquart Motors' Chevrolet specialists can help you compare both options based on your typical driving, local weather patterns, and comfort level. Call (715) 833-0444 to discuss which setup makes sense for your lifestyle and budget.
