​
For the 2025 model year, Chevrolet's popular SUV, the compact Equinox, enters its fourth generation with design enhancements and updated features. This two-row, five-seater crossover is ideal if you need a spacious vehicle for daily commutes or weekend getaways. It's available in several trim levels, each offering unique design elements and amenities. Our expert team at Huffines Chevrolet Plano put together this guide to highlight what you can expect from the redesigned Equinox.
What's New in 2025?
The 2025 model marks the arrival of a new Equinox generation. While it gets a full redesign, the all-new Equinox retains certain features from the 2024 version, including its size and passenger capacity. Chevy also equips it with the same engine but pairs it with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in front-wheel-drive (FWD) models. Each trim level of the 2025 Equinox has a unique grille and front fascia.
The revamped cabin with modern materials enhances comfort and convenience. Premium synthetic leather and microfiber seating surfaces with intricate stitching on the higher trims replace the standard cloth upholstery.
The all-new Equinox gets a three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. For 2025, Chevy also simplifies the lineup of the Equinox EV, offering two trims: the LT and RS.
Trims and Features
Three 2025 Equinox trims are available: the LT, RS, and ACTIV. Standard features on the base LT model include 17-inch Grazen metallic machined-face wheels, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch screen, and a six-speaker audio system. All models have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, four USB ports, and Wi-Fi hot spot capability.
The RS trim adds Evotex seat trim with black and red accents and an eight-way power driver seat, creating an upscale cabin atmosphere. It also has roof-mounted side rails and Rainsense windshield wipers for optimal visibility in adverse conditions. Your rear passengers will enjoy a relaxing ride thanks to the dual-zone automatic climate control system, and the AutoSense power liftgate makes loading and unloading cargo easy. The optional Convenience Package III gives you heated rear outboard seats, ventilated front seats, and driver memory settings.
The rugged ACTIV trim swaps out the 19-inch wheels and all-season tires on the RS for striking 17-inch Dark Android machined-face alloy wheels with all-terrain blackwall tires. It also features a suede Microfiber seat trim, a wrapped steering wheel, and the available Convenience Package III.
Specs and Dimensions
The Equinox's 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine generates 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Chevy pairs this engine with a CVT in FWD models to ensure smooth acceleration and responsive handling. Opting for an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system gives you an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2025 Equinox offers excellent fuel efficiency for an SUV, with FWD models earning 26 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway and AWD variants getting 24 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. The AWD Equinox can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 8.6 seconds.
With the back seats upright, you have 29.8 cubic feet of cargo volume for your groceries or luggage. You can fold down the rear row to get 63.5 cubic feet of space if you need to transport bulky or oversized items. The fourth-generation Equinox's cabin feels roomy and has an inch more rear headroom than the previous version.
Tech and Safety
The 11.3-inch touch-screen infotainment display in the 2025 Equinox runs Chevrolet's Google-based operating system, which gives you access to Google Maps navigation and other connected services. It sits in the center of the dashboard and faces toward the driver for easy visibility and accessibility. An 11-inch digital gauge cluster display puts essential driving information directly in your line of sight.
Chevrolet equips the all-new Equinox with numerous safety and driver-assist technologies. Standard features include forward collision alert and reverse automatic braking, which reduce the likelihood of accidents. Lane-keep assist with lane departure warning alerts you if your SUV drifts out of its lane unintentionally, while blind-zone steering assist can provide a brief, firm turn of the steering wheel when the system detects a potential crash with a moving vehicle in the lane you're entering
The following distance indicator helps you maintain a safe distance from the car ahead. The Safety Alert Seat vibrates the driver's seat to help you identify the direction of potential collisions so you can act quickly, and Buckle to Drive reminds you and your front passenger to fasten your seat belts before driving.
Rear park assist alerts you to vehicles and objects behind your Equinox when reversing, and Chevy's High-Definition Surround Vision technology is available to make parking and maneuvering in tight spaces easier. Optional features include a traffic sign recognition feature that detects and displays essential information, such as speed limits, and rear pedestrian alert, which warns you if it detects people directly behind your SUV when backing up.
