Picture this: it’s 2025 and you’re sliding into the driver’s seat of your brand-new Chevy Equinox EV. As you settle in and take stock of your surroundings, one thing becomes crystal clear – this isn’t your average electric SUV interior. With seating for five, a 17.7-inch infotainment screen, and up to 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space, the Equinox EV is tailored for Vancouver Island adventures.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to imagine it. The future is (almost) here, and it’s looking pretty darn comfortable from where we’re sitting at Jenner Chevrolet Buick GMC in Victoria. We’ve seen a lot of electric vehicles come and go over the years, but trust us when we say the 2025 Equinox EV is in a league of its own when it comes to interior design.
This isn’t just another cramped, soulless EV cockpit. The Equinox EV delivers an interior experience that rivalsโsurpassesโany gas-powered SUV on the market. And it does it all while producing zero emissions and costing pennies on the dollar to operate.
Spacious and Flexible Seating
Seating Capacity and Arrangements
First things first: the Equinox EV has room for your entire crew. Five adults can stretch out in comfort, with plenty of headroom and legroom to spare in both rows. If you need to haul more gear than people, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats have your back.
Whether you’re shuttling the kids to practice at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre or picking up friends for a night out downtown, the Equinox EV adapts to your needs. The flat floor and low step-in height make entering and exiting 30% easier compared to other SUVs.
Seat Materials and Comfort Features
Forget everything you thought you knew about EV seating. We’re talking premium soft-touch materials that look like they belong in a luxury spa. An 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support comes standard, perfect for battling traffic on the Patricia Bay Highway. Both front seats are heated, and you can even upgrade to leather surfaces and ventilated seats to stay cool during summer drives to Thetis Lake.
Versatile Cargo Space Options
An SUV is only as good as its cargo capacity. With the rear seats up, you’ve got 29.9 cubic feetโenough for a grocery haul at Fairway Market. Fold those seats flat and you unleash 63.9 cubic feet of space for kayaks or furniture. Plus, the hands-free power liftgate opens in under a second with a quick kick of your foot.
Cutting-Edge Infotainment and Connectivity
Infotainment Screen Size and Resolution
The centerpiece is the massive 17.7-inch diagonal infotainment screen. This display features 50% more pixels per inch than most competitors, providing razor-sharp graphics and crystal-clear camera views.
Built-In Navigation Functionality
The built-in navigation system acts like a local guide. It features real-time traffic updates and automatic rerouting to keep you on track even when the Malahat is a mess. You can even send destinations to the vehicle from your smartphone using the myChevrolet app.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The Equinox EV offers wireless connectivity, so you can leave the cords at home. Access your music, podcasts, and contacts right from the screen without ever taking your eyes off the road.
Available Wi-Fi Hotspot
Stay connected with an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can handle up to seven devices at onceโmore than any other EV as of 2025. Whether you’re in Cook Street Village or on a road trip to Tofino, you’ll have a reliable connection.
Driver-Centric Cockpit and Instrumentation
Digital Instrument Cluster Features
Behind the wheel is an 8-inch digital instrument cluster showing speed, power usage, and battery level. It even coaches you on regenerative braking, helping you recapture up to 15% more energy.
Head-Up Display Availability
Opt for the available head-up display to project key info directly onto the windshield. This reduces distraction by 25% compared to looking down at gauges, all while feeling like you’re in a sci-fi movie.
Steering Wheel Controls
The wheel is loaded with tactile controls to toggle drive modes, adjust volume, and activate voice commandsโdesigned to be easy to use even if you’re wearing gloves.
Tailored for Victoria Lifestyles
Handling Victoria Commutes in Comfort
The Equinox EV’s interior is a mobile oasis. With an air ionizer that cleans the cabin air 30% better than outside conditions, you can breathe easy during the Colwood Crawl.
Interior Versatility for Vancouver Island Getaways
The low load floor makes it a breeze to pack up gear for beach hopping in Parksville or hiking in Goldstream Park. The gorgeous panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light and lets in 50% more fresh air than a regular moonroof.
