2024 Chevrolet Silverado and Equinox EV: some similarities inside…
Last Updated:
After looking at these 2 recent photos of the Silverado EV and Equinox EV interiors, I did notice they were very similar in a few ways. This is expected since they both share the new GM Ultium platform.
But also surprising since they seem of very different size and price. Although, when you think of it, the base $39 000 Silverado EV will just be about $10 000 more than the basic version of the electric Equinox.
The most obvious similarity is the steering wheel. But the big double screen unit seems to be exactly the same in both vehicles. The climate controls also seem to be very similar.
Of course, the Silverado is probably much wider, and proportions are not the same. But they do look related…
Lazy designers
I think this is the loaded version of both – the base silverado has a split screen interior with a rectangular, but separate dash and center displays.
I mean. Compare the Mercedes GLE with the Maybach GLS. Same dash board- VERY different price points.
Physical HVAC controls and a volume knob. Love it already!
Both will give Ford a blackeye. Ford needs a Puma-inspired EV and they need to get the EV Bronco (both 2 and 4 door) on the road ASAP.
I’m always so disappointed in the interior fit and finish and quality of plastics in GM products. Why a $24k Civic obliterates a $50k Chevy in plastics and materials is something I’ll never understand.
