The overview
Redesigned for 2025, the Chevrolet Equinox is similar in size and mechanical details to the SUV it supplants. It is again powered by a 175-hp, 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but this time it is paired with either a CVT (FWD) or 8-speed automatic transmission (AWD). The Equinox is offered in three trims: LT, RS, and ACTIV, each with their own styling touches. The RS is positioned as the sporty-looking choice, and the ACTIV is dressed for adventure. All share an interior that houses twin 11-inch screens and boasts standard niceties like heated seats and steering wheel. We managed 25 mpg overall for the AWD model we tested, which lags behind class leaders. The ride is mostly comfortable, handling is responsive but not sporty, and stopping distances are competitively short. The front seats are reasonably comfortable and the rear seat is spacious. The LT AWD we tested comes well-equipped with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and remote start.The Equinox features standard Chevy Safety Assist, a bundle of active safety and driver assistance features.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
