Chevrolet has just unveiled its updated 2025 Equinox lineup, marking a fresh chapter in compact crossover excellence.
Despite a $2000 increase in the starting price compared to the previous model, there’s a deeper story at play, courtesy of a strategic overhaul of trim levels and features.
Out with the old LS trim, in with the new LT as the entry point to Equinox ownership. But here’s the kicker: despite the price hike, the 2025 Equinox LT actually saves you nearly 900 bucks compared to its predecessor. Chevy wants you to see the silver lining, highlighting the bang for your buck amidst the price tweak.
For those with a need for speed or a craving for adventure, the RS and Activ trims are the name of the game, each bringing its own flavor to the table. Priced at 34,395 bucks, these babies cater to different tastes, whether you’re into city slickin’ or off-road thrills.
The RS sports a slick grille and 19-inch wheels for that sporty vibe, while the Activ rocks 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and you can even throw in a contrasting white roof for some extra flair.
Under the hood, the Equinox sticks with its trusty 175-hp 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, now teaming up with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) for a smoother ride. And for those eco-warriors out there, keep your eyes peeled for a possible plug-in hybrid version down the road, showing Chevy’s commitment to greener options.
Chevrolet’s SUV lineup is looking pretty sweet, with three options under 30K, including the Trax and Trailblazer. And don’t forget the hype building around the Equinox EV, expected to hit the streets with prices ranging from 43,295 to 46,795 bucks, bringing some electric excitement to the mix.
