Chevrolet has made its most budget-friendly electric SUV even more affordable. The 2026 Equinox EV now comes with a 0% financing deal, effectively reducing its cost by around $4,000.
The electric Chevy Equinox has long been one of the most budget-friendly EVs available, typically starting below $35,000. While the 2026 model kicks off at $36,495—$1,500 higher than the 2025 version—Chevy is offsetting the price bump with a new promotional offer.
Last Friday, Chevy rolled out a new 0% financing deal for 60 months on all 2026 Equinox EV trims—a sharp drop from the previous 3.9% APR offer. Data from auto research firm CarsDirect suggests the lower rate could save buyers around $4,000 on a $40,000 loan. With this promotion, customers may even be able to finance the $44,000 RS trim for less than a Tesla Model Y. The RS model adds a sportier look, featuring 21-inch black wheels, a blacked-out grille, and other exclusive RS design touches.
GM has also continued its $1,250 conquest bonus for the 2026 Equinox EV, available to customers who currently own or lease a non-GM vehicle from the 2011 model year or newer.
The 2026 Equinox EV starts at $36,495, including a $1,395 destination charge, and offers a range of up to 319 miles. Buyers can add all-wheel drive for an additional $5,300, with AWD versions delivering up to 307 miles of range.
All 2025 Chevy electric models—including the Equinox, Blazer, and Silverado—now come with 0% financing for 60 months. Buyers can also get a $3,000 customer cash bonus on the 2025 Equinox EV, along with the $1,250 conquest incentive. Meanwhile, the 2025 Blazer EV offers $3,500 in customer cash plus the same $1,250 bonus.
The electric Chevy Equinox now ranks as the third most popular EV in the U.S., behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
