2025 Chevrolet Equinox Review: The all-new Equinox!

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox, now in its fourth generation, brings new tech and safety features to Chevy's second most popular vehicle after the Silverado. The trim lineup has been refreshed, with the LS and Premier trims replaced by a new ACTIV trim, while LT and RS remain. Chevy has infused some of the Silverado's rugged appeal into the Equinox, continuing a trend seen in their other recently updated SUVs. The focus is on how this new trim and design influence the Equinox's overall appeal.

Purchased Equinox RS FWD 3 weeks ago. The SAFETY technology is great, screen is super huge, the RS trim "pops". Have 300 miles on it, mixd mileage around 25 mpg. 19" wheels look great, the various cameras are super. I am PLEASANTLY surprised with the power from the 1.5L Turbo Charge engine - enough power there when you need it.

If anything, there is SO MUCH to learn as .far as options for the technology is making it a bit of a challenge. BTW - also love wireless charging, and extra space under counsel. Seats are SUPER COMFY and good lumbar support

She left out that the steering wheel is "flatter" on the bottom, which helps you get out more easily.

We had been a FORD Escape family - But EQUINOX knocks it out of the park with this re-design.

I think this is one of the best looking compacts on the market

Incredible value for the money SUV 🚙

Great review!! How does the Equinox compare to the new Chevy Spin?

[kelvinburton]

You demonstrated the Equinox well. Does it offer the Bose sound system upgrade? The web site doesn't mention any entertainment upgrade. How is the standard sound system? Thanks.

a real engine in it, and You will not keep them on the lot

[grahamsteen]

Thank you for this review. How did you find the ride quality between the RS vs. the Activ? I wonder if the Activ [with it's taller sidewalls & suspension changes] might be better in cities with rougher roads. Again thanks. Kindly, Graham

The 2025 Equinox is Amazing. Purchased a Loaded 25 Equinox RS for my daughter.

The rear view mirror Camera View was a main selling point, among other Safety Features.

Finally, Chevy, I can cheer for this 🎉 looks like a bigger updated Trailblazer Activ

Chevrolet has for a long time made great dependable cars & trucks

[omidnamin]

it's crazy that cheap cars are getting nicer interiors than most luxury cars out there

[crow_kbeatsbydre]

Chevy ain't no pushover anymore, even the all mighty Honda using GM EV technology with new Honda

[CabinGirl]

Lost me with the new gear shift on column. Do not like.

[YankeeMav]

love that interior. on the active. way too much red on rs.

Chevy needs to put a naturally aspirated 6 in the equinox and get rid of that stupid turbo !

[DeathStar]

go with the AWD if you get this suv…the CVT will be a costly repair when not if it fails…also stay away from a GDI or turbo engine…those wont last 100k if you plan to own..leasing is ok cuz you will get rid of vehicle before you have any problems and even if you do, it will covered under warranty

That "Equinox" badging on the door kinda bothers me. I'd probably remove it. Other than that, it's a surprisingly handsome vehicle.

[andya]

I have to ask, how tall are you? This equinox looks pretty high next to you 😂

[WOOF]

Great review from top to bottom and inside and out. I was wondering if the AWD powertrain was powerful enough to keep up with freeway traffic, but you made me feel comfortable that I won't have to worry about that! Thanks, Natalie!!

Best looking worst mpg rav4 hybrid and highlander hybrid will eat that Chevy chevy needs hybrids to be competitive in the suv market
