Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The 2LT is priced at $43,295, while the 2RS starts at $44,795, a $1,500 difference. Both are front-wheel drive. No drivetrain or battery pack differences exist between the trims. Usable battery capacity is approximately 89 kWh, exceeding GM's stated 85 kWh. EPA range is the same: 319 miles. If All-Wheel Drive is added to either trim, the range is lowered to about 285 miles. Both trims come standard with a 48-amp on-board charger, enabling 11.5 kW AC charging. DC fast charging has a peak rate of 150 kW.
Externally, the front grilles differ: the LT has vertical bars, the RS has a triangular mesh. The RS has a secondary spoiler for aesthetics, which is not included with the LT. The RS also gets exterior blacked-out badging. The LT has 19" wheels with polished aluminum edges and black painted inlays, while the RS features 21" five-spoke black wheels. The LT uses 245/55 R19 Michelin Primacy all-season tires. The RS uses 275/40 R21 Continental Cross Contact self-sealing tires.
Both trims have standard safety systems, such as forward collision alert and rear park assist. The 2LT has a tire inflator kit, whereas the 2RS does not. Continentals' Cross Contact run-flat tires, used on the RS, eliminate the need for a tire inflator kit.
Internally, instrumentation is the same between trims. The RS has a flat-bottom steering wheel with accent-colored stitching, not present in the LT. Red interior accents are also unique to the RS.
Ride quality is similar in both trims, though the RS is slightly less comfortable due to its wider, stiffer tires. The RS does not feature blacked out Chevrolet bow ties, body color side view mirror covers, or black nameplates.
In 2025, Chevrolet will streamline Equinox EV trim levels to just LT and RS models. Since the front-wheel drive versions accelerate from 0-60 mph in about 8 seconds, the Equinox EV is not a sports car.
