I Own the Equinox EV RS. Here is Why You Should Buy the LT.

Welcome back to Outsider Reviews. I put my own money down on the dual-motor 2025 Chevy Equinox EV RS AWD. But after putting the single-motor 2026 Equinox EV LT FWD through its paces, I have a hard truth to share: for most buyers, the base model is actually the smarter choice. In this head-to-head comparison, we line up my personal RS AWD right next to the LT FWD to see exactly what a roughly $10,000 CAD price difference looks like in the real world. What We Cover In This Video: Power & Efficiency: How the LT’s 210 HP single-motor setup compares to the 300 HP dual-motor RS off the line. Real-World Range: The LT boasts an official 513 km of range, and I share my actual efficiency test numbers (4.9 km/kWh vs 4.7 km/kWh) to show why the base model squeezes more out of the shared 85 kWh Ultium battery. The Missing Features: Is giving up the panoramic sunroof, 21-inch dark aero wheels, power liftgate, and wireless charging worth saving ten grand? The Final Verdict: My unfiltered, straightforward take on which electric SUV offers the best functionality and overall value. If you are trying to decide between the single and dual-motor Equinox EV, this video has the straight facts you need before going to the dealership.
