Chevy Equinox EV vs Kia EV3: Which is America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV?

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV is now on sale, starting at $34,995. The 2027 Kia EV3 starts at $29,890. On GM’s website, it still says the electric Equinox is “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV,” but is it really?

In the fine print, GM said the comparison is based on the MSRP of the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV versus competing EVs, so yes, for the 2026 model year it was.

The 2027 Chevy Equinox EV is a carryover model, so not much is changing. The biggest update is a native NACS port that replaces the CCS port used on previous models (2024-2026), so drivers don’t need a separate adapter to use Tesla Superchargers.

However, all GM electric vehicles are transitioning to NACS for the 2027 model. The 2027 Chevy Equinox EV is available in the same LT1, LT2, and RS trims with FWD and AWD options.

The standard 2027 Chevy Equinox EV LT1 FWD starts at $34,995 and offers an EPA-estimated driving range of up to 319 miles.

Is it still the most affordable EV with over 315 miles of range? Not for the 2027 model year. Kia’s new entry-level electric SUV (shown above on the right) takes the title.

The 2027 Kia EV3 starts at $29,890. That’s for the base Light FWD with an EPA-estimated range of up to 221 miles.

The EV3 Wind FWD offers an EPA-estimated range of up to 321 miles and starts at $34,990. Even with the destination fee, Kia’s electric SUV has it beat.
