General Motors will officially return to Europe, but only with electric models. The American group will again attack the Old Continent with flagship products such as the new Cadillac Lyriq and other GMC Hummer electric cars, cars with dimensions that are not suitable for narrow European streets, but the group also determines that products “more accessible” will arrive later.

Among them will be the Chevrolet Equinox EV, The 100% electric SUV is expected in the United States in 2024 and in Europe a few months later.

Under €30,000 for an electric SUV?

Chevrolet has yet to release much official information about the launch date, but images have surfaced online showing the electric crossover rolling off the assembly line at the General Motors plant in Mexico.

The Chevrolet Equinox EV is an electric SUV that General Motors intends to make it accessible to as many people as possible. According to the company, the price is expected to start at approx 30,000 USDor about 28,000 euros at the current exchange rate.

Notable number to say the least, even if there is no certainty that General Motors will be able to offer that price immediately, especially in Europe, where cars are traditionally more expensiveamong other things, export costs.

Utopia?

General Motors CEO Mary Barra recently said that electric cars costing $30,000 will be on the market by the end of the decade.

In any case, the Chevrolet Equinox EV, which still measures 4.65 meters, ne must not be listed at a base price of less than €40,000 on the Old Continent. There are few equivalent models at lower prices, and General Motors has no reason to upset the market today, especially since its product is not focused on low costs at all.

In the United States, the Chevrolet Equinox EV is planned in a traction version with a power of 213 hp. and 328 Nm, as well as in the all-wheel drive version with 294 hp. up to 480 km according to the American EPA cycle.
