Kia EV3 Beats Chevy Equinox EV on Affordability, Despite GM’s Claim

The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV has just entered the market with a starting price of $34,995, while the 2027 Kia EV3 launches a few thousand dollars lower at $29,890. Both models boast a 315‑plus mile range, a benchmark that has become a key selling point for budget‑conscious buyers. GM’s website still labels the Equinox EV as “America’s most affordable 315+ mile range EV,” a claim that the price data from Electrek suggests is no longer accurate. The price gap underscores the competitive pressure in the emerging mid‑size electric SUV segment and signals that consumers can now access a high‑range EV at a significantly lower cost.
