The Chevrolet Equinox EV has barely settled into showrooms, and yet General Motors is already lining up a full redesign. A second-generation Equinox EV is reportedly being developed on an all-new dedicated electric architecture.
The new compact crossover is expected to be revealed in late 2028 or early 2029, and launch as a 2029 model. That plan would give the first-generation Equinox EV a notably short life for a mainstream family model—just two years.
Internal planning points to the next Equinox EV moving off GM’s current BEV3 platform onto a new, dedicated BEV-N architecture. GM appears ready to use the switch to rethink how its affordable EVs are engineered and built, aiming to cut costs and improve packaging.
The decision comes in a turbulent sales year for Chevrolet’s electric lineup, with the smaller Bolt EV rebounding while Equinox EV demand has cooled after a fast start. Chevrolet product schedules call for a redesigned Equinox EV to arrive near the end of the decade.
Current expectations have the compact electric crossover breaking cover in late 2028 or early 2029 and going on sale as a 2029 model. That effectively accelerates the product cadence for a vehicle that only recently entered the market.
