Chevy has simplified trim-level choices, paring the lineup to 3 distinct fashions: LT, sporty RS, and new, off-road flavored Activ. Although Chevy has not introduced pricing, we count on the fashions to ascend in that order. Gone for 2025 is the bottom LS and topline Premier.
Returning is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The 175-horsepower powerplant pairs with a CVT computerized in front-wheel-drive examples of the Equinox, whereas AWD models can be fitted with an 8-speed computerized.
Apparently transferring the Equinox upmarket, the usual tools record has been expanded, and now contains the next options:

Test Drive: 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Premier
CG Says:
In relation to compact crossover gross sales, the Toyota RAV4 (435,000 models in 2023), Honda CR-V (361,000), and Nissan Rogue (271,000), dominate the phase. In the course of the pack is the Equinox, which quietly accounted for 213,000 gross sales final 12 months. That’s greater than quite a lot of more-discussed small crossovers, together with the Hyundai Tucson (209,000), Mazda CX-5 (153,000), Subaru Forester (152,000), Ford Escape (141,000), and Kia Sportage (141,000).
Given the market’s urge for food for off-road trying crossovers, we’re predicting the brand new Activ trim degree will go far in direction of enhancing Equinox gross sales quantity. Whether or not or not Chevy’s typically likable compact ute can catch the number-three Rogue in general annual gross sales stays to be seen. Pricing will play a giant position on this race, as will public response to the crossover’s new look.
