Quick answer The front-wheel-drive Equinox EV is EPA-rated at up to 319 miles of range and 108 MPGe combined. A typical commute in this metro uses a small fraction of that, so in practice you charge at home and visit a public charger rarely. Dual-motor eAWD is rated at up to 307 miles with the 11 kW charger, or 288 miles with the 19.2 kW module. Front-wheel drive makes 220 hp and 243 lb-ft; eAWD makes 300 hp and 355 lb-ft. Pricing starts at $34,995 for the LT 1, with LT 2 at $41,795 and RS at $44,095. On a normal commute across Tulsa, an Equinox EV is a car you plug in at home and essentially stop thinking about: the front-wheel-drive version is EPA-rated at up to 319 miles, and a typical round trip across this metro uses a small share of that. The public-charging question that dominates EV conversations turns out to matter mostly for road trips, not for daily life here. That is the honest headline from customers who have made the switch. Below is what the numbers actually are and how they map onto driving in this market. Our Chevrolet Equinox EV research hub has every page we have written on it. Range, by configuration Range runs from 288 to 319 miles depending on drivetrain and charging hardware. The three configurations break down like this: Front-wheel drive: up to 319 miles, at 108 MPGe combined (117 city / 100 highway). eAWD with the 11 kW charger: up to 307 miles, at 103 MPGe combined. eAWD with the 19.2 kW module: up to 288 miles, at 96 MPGe combined. All of those are EPA figures, and ratings for every configuration are at fueleconomy.gov. Notice the pattern: the faster onboard charging module trades a little range for shorter plugged-in time. Which of those you want depends entirely on whether you charge at home overnight or need to top up quickly during a day. Power is not the compromise people expect. Front-wheel drive gives you 220 hp and 243 lb-ft, and eAWD steps up to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft — more torque than most gas crossovers in the class, delivered instantly. The full trim and equipment picture is on our 2026 Equinox EV overview, and the Equinox EV FAQ answers the range and charging questions we hear most. What that means on a real Tulsa week This is a compact metro by driving standards, and that works strongly in an EV's favor. A commute from Jenks to a job downtown, a school run, an evening out at the Gathering Place and a weekend errand loop all fit comfortably inside a single charge, with room to spare. Most owners settle into charging at home a couple of nights a week rather than daily. An evening at the Gathering Place and back is a rounding error against 319 miles. The trips where range planning genuinely matters are the longer runs — down OK-97 and beyond, or out toward Pryor and back with detours. Even those sit inside a 319-mile rating, but that is the point where you would think about it rather than just drive. Winter is the honest caveat with any EV: cold weather reduces range, and Oklahoma gets genuine cold snaps. Preconditioning the car while it is still plugged in is the standard answer and it works well. It is a habit rather than a problem. The ownership side The running-cost picture is where an EV quietly does its best work. There is no oil to change, no fuel filter, no exhaust, and regenerative braking means brake pads typically last far longer than they do on a gas vehicle. What remains is tires, cabin filters, coolant service and the usual inspections. Our Equinox EV maintenance and ownership guide lays out exactly what the schedule contains, and our Chevrolet-certified technicians are EV-trained when you schedule service. Inside, the 17.7-inch touchscreen is the centerpiece, and it does more on an EV than on a gas vehicle because charging, range and route planning all live there. Our Equinox EV 17.7-inch touchscreen guide walks through Google built-in and what each trim adds. See the Equinox EVs we have in stock — and if you have never driven one, that is genuinely the step that decides it. So which Equinox EV should you order in Tulsa? If you want the most range and the lowest price, the front-wheel-drive LT 1 from $34,995 before destination, rated up to 319 miles. It is the most accessible way into the lineup and the longest-legged version. If you want more equipment, the LT 2 from $41,795 before destination keeps the same efficient front-wheel-drive setup. If you want the performance and the weather confidence, eAWD at 300 hp and 355 lb-ft, still rated up to 307 miles with the 11 kW charger. If you want the top of the range, the RS from $44,095 before destination. If you charge somewhere other than home, the 19.2 kW module is the one to ask about — shorter charging time, slightly less range. If you are cross-shopping the obvious rival, we put them side by side on our Equinox EV vs Tesla Model Y comparison. And if it turns out an EV is not the right step yet, our gas Equinox research hub covers the alternative. Frequently asked questions How far can a 2026 Equinox EV go on a charge? Up to 319 miles in front-wheel drive. Dual-motor eAWD is rated at up to 307 miles with the 11 kW charger, or 288 miles with the 19.2 kW module. What screen and driver assistance does the Equinox EV have? A 17.7-inch touchscreen with an 11-inch driver cluster, standard on every trim. Super Cruise hands-free driving on mapped highways is available on the LT 2 and up, and is not offered on the LT 1. How much horsepower does the Equinox EV have? 220 hp and 243 lb-ft in front-wheel drive, or 300 hp and 355 lb-ft with dual-motor eAWD. What warranty and servicing does an Equinox EV need? The high-voltage battery and electric propulsion components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, with 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance. The first scheduled service is free within the first year or 12,000 miles. Pricing starts at $34,995 for the LT 1, before destination and fees. Do I need a public charger to own an EV here? For daily driving, no. A typical metro commute uses a small share of the range, so most owners charge at home and use public charging mainly for longer trips.

If the crossover in your Tulsa driveway is out of factory coverage and you are pricing repairs instead of tires, the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox is the shortest step across: the LT starts at $29,000 excluding a $1,995 destination charge, seats five, and arrives with 3 years or 36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage plus one scheduled maintenance visit already paid for at 12 months or 12,000 miles. Your current SUV is the down payment you already own, and Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet takes trades on Memorial Drive every day. Most people trading a five- or six-year-old crossover here are not chasing a bigger vehicle. They want the same footprint, the same parking spot at Woodland Hills Mall, and a repair bill back at zero. That is the trade the 2027 Equinox is built for, and it pays to know what the step buys before you put a value on your current vehicle. Key Numbers 2027 Equinox LT starts at $29,000, excluding a $1,995 destination charge. 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp at 5,600 rpm, 8-speed automatic on front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. 27 MPG combined on front-wheel drive (25 city, 29 highway) per fueleconomy.gov, with 400 miles of total range. All-wheel drive adds $2,000 on any 2027 Equinox trim. 29.8 cu. ft. of cargo behind the rear seats, 63.5 cu. ft. with them folded. 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, 5 years or 60,000 miles powertrain, one scheduled maintenance visit included. 2027 Equinox EV LT 1 starts at $34,995, excluding an $1,800 destination charge, with 319 miles EPA-estimated range on front-wheel drive. The Moment a Tulsa Crossover Tells You It Is Time Nobody trades a car on a calendar. They trade it the week the estimate lands. In Tulsa the mileage that gets you there piles up on the same three roads: stop-and-go on the Broken Arrow Expressway, the long merge onto the Creek Turnpike, and the surface miles up and down Memorial Drive. Those are brake-and-tire miles, and after five Oklahoma summers they add up on a vehicle whose coverage ran out years ago. The 2027 Equinox resets that clock. Bumper-to-bumper runs 3 years or 36,000 miles, the powertrain is covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles, roadside assistance runs 5 years or 60,000 miles, and the first scheduled maintenance visit at 12 months or 12,000 miles is included, covering an oil and filter change, a four-tire rotation and a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox overview lays out both nameplates side by side, and the 2027 Equinox service guide for Tulsa covers the schedule once you take delivery. What $29,000 Puts in Your Tulsa Driveway The LT is the volume trade-up and it is not a stripped car. It carries the 1.5L Turbo making 175 hp at 5,600 rpm through an 8-speed automatic, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and available HD Surround Vision. Chevy Safety Assist sits inside a set of over 15 standard safety and driver assistance features, with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning among them. Cargo is where a trade-up gets judged in a Sand Springs garage. The 2027 Equinox holds 29.8 cu. ft. behind the rear seats and 63.5 cu. ft. with the second row folded, in a body 183.2 inches long, so it still fits where your current crossover fits. Front-wheel-drive models return 27 MPG combined and 400 miles of total range; all-wheel drive returns 26 MPG combined and 406 miles. Full dimensions sit on the 2027 Equinox specs page. Up the ladder is a clean $4,900 step from LT to either the RS at $33,900 or the ACTIV at $33,900. The RS brings black exterior trim, a flat-bottom steering wheel and standard 19-inch wheels with 20-inch machined wheels available. The ACTIV brings all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension and Evotex with sueded microfiber seating surfaces, which is the one to drive if your weekends run out toward Okmulgee on gravel. All-wheel drive is a $2,000 add on any of the three, and the 2027 Equinox trim breakdown has the feature walk. Trading Into Gas or Electric Around Tulsa and Broken Arrow A trade-in is the natural moment to ask the electric question, because it is the one week you are pricing everything at once. The 2027 Equinox EV is a separate vehicle on its own architecture. The LT 1 starts at $34,995 excluding an $1,800 destination charge, $5,995 above the gas LT, and that buys an 85 kWh battery, 319 miles of EPA-estimated range on front-wheel drive, a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, over 20 standard safety and driver assistance features, and available Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance. It charges through a standard NACS port for 2027, takes up to 150 kW on public DC fast charging for up to 80 miles of range in 10 minutes, and fills in about 9.5 hours on a 240-volt home charger overnight. Battery and electric components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. If you have a garage in Glenpool or a driveway in Broken Arrow, that works quietly in the background. The 2027 Equinox EV page has the full electric picture, and the 2027 Equinox gas vs EV comparison runs the two against each other. Match Your Trade to the Right 2027 Equinox What you are driving now The 2027 Equinox that answers it A front-drive compact crossover you park downtown all day Equinox LT, $29,000, 27 MPG combined and 400 miles of total range An older SUV you keep for weekend gravel and boat ramps Equinox ACTIV, $33,900, all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension A commuter car you want to look sharper than it did Equinox RS, $33,900, black trim and available 20-inch machined wheels A high-mileage sedan and you charge at home Equinox EV LT 1, $34,995, 319 miles EPA-estimated range on front-wheel drive Bring the keys with you. Get a value on your current vehicle, then see every 2027 Equinox in stock at Jim Norton T-Town Chevrolet and drive the one your trade points at the same afternoon. How the Trade Actually Works on Memorial Drive Bring the vehicle, the title or your lender information, and the service records if you have them. A crossover with a documented history appraises with less guesswork, and that works in your favor. We appraise what you drove in, apply the number to the 2027 Equinox you picked, and you can start the paperwork before you leave. Buyers from Sand Springs and Okmulgee routinely do the appraisal and the delivery in one visit. If you are also weighing the outgoing model year, the Chevrolet Equinox research hub covers it, and the 2027 Equinox research page collects the new one in a single place. When you are ready to sit in one, schedule a test drive and we will have both the gas Equinox and the Equinox EV on the front line. Frequently Asked Questions About Trading In for a 2027 Equinox in Tulsa Five questions we hear most often at the appraisal desk. For the broader list, see the 2027 Equinox FAQ for Tulsa buyers. How do I find out what my current SUV is worth before I come in? Start the appraisal online through our trade-in page and bring the vehicle in to finish it. A physical appraisal on Memorial Drive accounts for what a form cannot see: tire life, glass, paint and how the vehicle drives. Bring the title or your lender details and any service records, because a documented maintenance history supports the number. Most Tulsa and Broken Arrow customers finish the appraisal and the delivery in the same visit, so plan on driving the 2027 Equinox you are considering while your current vehicle is looked over. How far can a 2027 Equinox go between fill-ups on an Okmulgee to Tulsa commute? A front-wheel-drive 2027 Equinox is rated at 27 MPG combined, 25 city and 29 highway, with 400 miles of total range according to fueleconomy.gov. All-wheel drive is rated at 26 MPG combined, 25 city and 29 highway, with 406 miles of total range. It runs on regular unleaded, is E15 capable, and the tank holds 14.8 gallons. On a daily run into Tulsa and back that is comfortably a week of commuting on one fill for most drivers, with the highway rating doing the work on the open stretches. Do I need to keep service records to trade my vehicle in? They are not required and you can trade without them, but they help. Records showing consistent oil changes and tire rotations tell an appraiser the vehicle was cared for, and that supports the value we put on it. If your current vehicle is due for something, bring it in as it sits rather than spending money ahead of the appraisal. Once you are in the 2027 Equinox that history is easy to keep: the first scheduled maintenance visit at 12 months or 12,000 miles is included, and you can book service in Tulsa from your phone. Can I trade my gas SUV toward a 2027 Equinox EV? Yes, and plenty of Tulsa customers do exactly that. The trade works the same way whatever you move into. The 2027 Equinox EV LT 1 starts at $34,995 excluding an $1,800 destination charge, carries an 85 kWh battery and 319 miles of EPA-estimated range on front-wheel drive, and covers the battery and electric components for 8 years or 100,000 miles. It charges through a standard NACS port, takes up to 150 kW on public DC fast charging, and fills in about 9.5 hours on a 240-volt home charger. Drive both on the same visit. Will my phone work the same way it does in my current vehicle? Better, in most cases. The 2027 Equinox pairs an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Google built-in and OnStar connectivity, so navigation, music and messages come across the moment you get in. The 2027 Equinox EV takes it further with a 17.7-inch center touchscreen, Google built-in and available Google Gemini. Stepping out of a crossover with a small screen and a cable you have to remember, this is the part of the trade most people notice on the drive home from Memorial Drive.

Quick answer The 2026 Equinox is on the ground now, in three trims: LT from $28,800, with RS and ACTIV both at $33,600 in front-wheel drive. Every trim runs the same 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder, 175 hp, making 184 lb-ft in front-wheel drive and 203 lb-ft with all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-rated at 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined mpg. All-wheel drive is available on every trim and brings an eight-speed automatic with it. If you would rather plan ahead, the 2027 Equinox has its own research page — but nothing about the 2026 is a placeholder. If you need a compact SUV in the next few months, buy the 2026 Equinox: it is here, it is fully current, and at $28,800 for the LT it is the version you can actually drive home this week. If your replacement is a year out, it is worth reading up on the 2027 before you commit either way — but that is a planning question, not a reason to wait on a car you need now. We get asked this every autumn, on every nameplate, and the honest answer is almost always the same: model-year timing matters far less than whether the vehicle in front of you fits. Here is what the 2026 actually is, so you can judge that for yourself. Our Chevrolet Equinox research hub has every page we have written on it. What the 2026 Equinox actually is Three trims, one engine, and a genuinely simple decision tree. The 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 175 hp across the board. The torque figure changes with drivetrain: 184 lb-ft in front-wheel drive, 203 lb-ft with all-wheel drive, which pairs with an eight-speed automatic. Fuel economy in front-wheel drive is 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined. Ratings for every configuration are at fueleconomy.gov. That is a comfortable number for a commute out to Sapulpa and back, or the longer run up toward Bartlesville on a weekend. The trim ladder: LT, from $28,800 before destination. The volume trim and the most accessible way into the lineup. RS, $33,600 before destination. The sport-styled version, with the blacked-out treatment. ACTIV, $33,600 before destination. Same price as the RS, with the rugged-look treatment instead. Pick on taste, not capability. All-wheel drive is available on every trim, which is worth knowing if your winter includes the ramps along OK-66 or a commute that starts before the roads through Creek County get treated. The full breakdown is on our 2026 Equinox overview, and the Equinox FAQ covers what buyers ask most. The technology is current, not a stopgap The thing that usually drives "should I wait" thinking is a fear that this year's car is about to look dated. On the Equinox that is not the situation: the safety and driver-assistance content on the 2026 is the current Chevrolet suite, not a carryover. Our Equinox technology and safety guide walks through exactly what is standard and what is available, which is the fastest way to judge whether anything you care about is missing. When waiting genuinely makes sense Two situations make planning around the 2027 the right call, and neither is about the 2026 being deficient. The first is a lease or a finance term that runs out next year anyway. If your current vehicle is fine until then, there is no reason to move early, and you may as well read up. The second is if a specific feature or configuration matters enough that you would rather have it than have a car sooner. That is a legitimate trade, and our 2027 Chevrolet Equinox page is where to check it. What does not make sense is waiting on a vehicle you need now, in a segment where the current car is strong, on the general principle that newer is better. The 2026 has a full factory warranty starting the day you take it, and the intervals and ownership costs are laid out on our Equinox maintenance and ownership guide — with our team ready to schedule service when you are due. See the 2026 Equinox inventory we have right now, and we will tell you honestly if what you want is worth waiting for. So what should you do? If you need a vehicle in the next few months, the 2026 LT at $28,800 is the answer, and all-wheel drive is a straightforward add on any trim. If you want the sport look, the RS at $33,600; if you want the rugged look, the ACTIV at the same price. If your current vehicle comfortably lasts another year, read the 2027 page, then come talk to us closer to the time. If you are cross-shopping the segment, we put the two leaders side by side on our Equinox vs Honda CR-V comparison. Frequently asked questions How much is a 2026 Chevy Equinox? From $28,800 for the LT in front-wheel drive. The RS and ACTIV are both $33,600, before destination and fees. What engine is in the 2026 Equinox? A 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder making 175 hp, on every trim. It makes 184 lb-ft in front-wheel drive and 203 lb-ft with all-wheel drive. What does an Equinox cost to run? Front-wheel-drive models are EPA-rated at 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined mpg. Oil changes are scheduled by the GM Oil Life System rather than a fixed mileage, and the warranty runs 3 years/36,000 miles basic with 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain. Can you get an Equinox with all-wheel drive? Yes, all-wheel drive is available on every trim and pairs with an eight-speed automatic. Should I wait for the 2027 Equinox? Only if your current vehicle comfortably lasts that long or a specific configuration matters more to you than having a car sooner. The 2026 is a fully current vehicle with a full factory warranty, available now.
