What is the key difference between the 2026 gasoline Equinox and the 2026 Equinox EV for a Quebec buyer?
The 2026 gasoline Equinox (1.5T of 175 hp, FWD or AWD) costs $10,000 to $15,000 less than the Equinox EV at equivalent trim levels before incentives. Quebec buyers eligible for the provincial Roulez Vert rebate (up to $7,000 on qualifying EVs) can significantly close that gap. Practically, a buyer driving over 15,000 km per year mainly in urban Quebec who can charge at home will recover the price difference in fuel savings within 4 to 6 years with the EV. Those regularly making long intercity trips — say Montreal to Quebec City or Sherbrooke to Ottawa — will find the gasoline Equinox more consistently practical in 2026 given the still-uneven fast-charging infrastructure beyond major corridors.
