The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV offers both front-wheel-drive and available all-wheel-drive options. The FWD model delivers up to 319 miles of EPA-estimated range, while the available AWD provides 307 miles and adds extra traction during Wisconsin's snow, slush, rain, and changing seasonal conditions.

AWD is particularly valuable if you regularly drive in winter weather or on varied terrain. The extra grip can improve confidence and safety when roads are slippery or unpredictable. Both powertrains deliver 300+ horsepower and the same class-leading technology features.

Our Chevrolet specialists at Markquart Motors can compare FWD and AWD performance for your driving habits and help you decide which is right for Chippewa Falls area roads. They'll also discuss how each affects charging, range planning, and long-term ownership.
