Chevrolet may already be preparing a second-generation Equinox EV, even though the current electric SUV only arrived for the 2024 model year. The new version could enter production in late 2028 or early 2029 as a 2029 model.
Chevrolet has not confirmed those plans, and much of the vehicle remains unknown. A company spokesperson told Car and Driver that Chevrolet does not comment on future products.
One of the biggest changes could happen beneath the bodywork. GM Authority claims the next Equinox EV will move to GM’s planned BEV-N architecture, replacing the BEV3 platform used by the current model.
BEV3 also underpins electric vehicles such as the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. Moving to a new platform suggests GM is already working on the foundations for its next wave of electric models.
Such an early replacement would give the first Equinox EV a relatively short production run. The current generation launched for 2024 and quickly became an important part of Chevrolet’s electric lineup.
Chevrolet sold 57,945 Equinox EVs in the US during 2025, making it the country’s bestselling non-Tesla electric vehicle that year. Sales slowed during the first half of 2026, however, with 16,249 examples sold through June.
That decline does not necessarily mean Chevrolet is losing interest in the model. Developing another generation would suggest the company still sees the Equinox EV as an important choice for buyers looking for a more affordable electric SUV.
Details on its design, battery and driving range have not surfaced yet. Pricing is also unknown, leaving little indication of how different the reported 2029 model could be from the current version.
More information is unlikely to arrive soon if the reported production schedule proves accurate. For now, the next Equinox EV remains an unconfirmed project that may give Chevrolet’s electric SUV a major update before the end of the decade.
