Interior Space & Comfort Features
Technically speaking, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV is a compact SUV. That means its exterior dimensions help you slot into the last parking space on the block. Inside, though, the five-seat Equinox EV feels surprisingly spacious. It also delivers more space for your tailgating supplies, with 26.4 cubic feet of cargo space to the Blazer’s 25.5 cubes.
Better still, both Equinox EV trim models are loaded with snazzy tech features, including Google-based infotainment software and an expansive, 17.7-inch infotainment touchscreen. With available packages (like the Comfort or Convenience packs), you can build a more luxurious interior that includes features like automated parking and Super Cruise hands-free driving technology!
As a midsize SUV, the 2025 Chevy Blazer EV gives you a few extra inches of head- and legroom in each row. But its exterior dimensions aren’t actually much bigger than that of the Equinox EV, helping you squeeze into a hard-to-find Uptown parking space. Inside, this EV comes standard with a longer list of premium tech features, including built-in navigation and a surround-view camera system. Its mid-level RS and ultra-fast SS trims are more luxurious than any of the Equinox options, with upgrades like heated and ventilated front seats and ambient interior lighting.
Everyday Performance
Both Chevy EVs are great sizes for city driving, helping you navigate narrow lanes and street parking with ease. And their electric powertrains’ instant torque and smooth, precise performance are perfect for New Orleans’s stop-and-go city driving. In other words, you won’t be the one lagging at stoplights! Before a hurricane hits, you won’t have to worry about waiting in a long line for gas. And in the aftermath of the storm, you won’t have to worry about higher prices at the pump!
But although Chevy’s electrifying new crossovers have a lot in common, they also diverge quite a bit when it comes to performance. The 2025 Chevy Equinox has easygoing commuter appeal. And with up to 300 horsepower, its highway merging capabilities are nothing to sneeze at!

- Front-wheel-drive models: 220 horsepower, 243 lb-ft of torque

Meanwhile, the 2025 Chevy Blazer is as bold and aggressive as it looks! To put it bluntly, this midsize EV is a regular speed freak. Depending on trim model and drivetrain (specifically, whether you choose front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive), this all-American EV supplies up to 615 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. In Wide Open Watts mode, the top-tier Blazer SS goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds!

EV Range
When it comes to driving range, Chevy’s small EV crossovers are pretty competitive! However, driving range varies for both models according to trim level and equipment. The more powerful Blazer EV comes with the longest-lasting battery pack, traveling up to 334 miles on a full charge. In old-school terms, it earns the gas-powered equivalent of 95 MPGe (106 city/85 highway).
In the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV, you can travel up to 319 miles between charges. Since this compact EV earns its highest EPA rating with a smaller battery pack, its actually the most efficient option, earning the gas-powered equivalent of 109 MPGe (117 city/100 highway)!
