The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is revolutionizing the compact SUV market. This latest iteration boasts a dynamic exterior and a refined interior featuring cutting-edge technology. The Equinox is Chevy's second-best-selling vehicle across all segments. Since its debut in 2005, the automaker has sold more than 3 million units, and the 2025 version has what it takes to be just as popular. If you're an adventure enthusiast, you'll love the first-ever ACTIV trim option.
Our team at Ciocca Chevrolet of Red Lion put together this guide to the 2025 Equinox to highlight the refreshed styling, revamped interior features, new technologies, and engine upgrades that make this versatile compact SUV stand out in its class.
Striking Exterior Enhancements
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is 2.5 inches wider than its predecessor, creating a stronger road stance. A redesigned grille and truck-inspired styling give this latest model a bold, modern appearance, and each trim flaunts a unique front fascia. You have the choice of several new wheel designs. Depending on the model, 17- or 19-inch wheels come standard. Larger 20-inch alloys are available on the RS, and every version comes with all-terrain tires. The all-new ACTIV distinguishes itself with black badging, rugged styling elements, and General Grabber all-terrain tires. It also offers a unique two-tone paint finish at no extra cost.
The latest Equinox flaunts a sculpted hood design, squared-off wheel wells, and a more athletic stance than the previous generation. It features a unique dual-tier lighting system, with headlamps and fog lights below the daytime running lamps. The light housings feature distinctive Chevrolet script detailing.
Luxurious Interior Upgrades
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox's interior raises the bar for compact SUVs. An 11-inch digital instrument cluster displays vital vehicle information, and an 11.3-inch infotainment screen (a significant improvement on the 7-inch version in the previous model) with Google built-in puts all your apps at your fingertips.
Chevy redesigned the Equinox's dashboard for the 2025 model year. The new Electronic Precision Shift feature revolutionizes the driver's space, freeing up storage space beneath the infotainment system and making the interior feel more open. Depending on your chosen trim, the Equinox offers top-quality seating fabrics, including black cloth, sueded microfiber in Maple Sugar, Artemis Gray Evotex, and black Evotex with red accents for a sporty look.
Heated driver and front passenger seats come standard to enhance comfort on chilly mornings, and select trims add a ventilation function. The RS and ACTIV offer an eight-way power driver seat with memory and heated rear outboard seats.
Cutting-Edge Technology Innovations
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox packs a punch with its top-notch tech. All models come with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes six essential safety features. Automatic emergency braking works with the forward collision alert system to prevent or reduce the severity of accidents, and front pedestrian braking helps you avoid collisions with pedestrians in front of your car.
Lane-keep assist provides gentle steering support to recenter your SUV if it drifts out of detected lane lines, and the following distance indicator will alert you if you're following another vehicle too closely. IntelliBeam automatically turns the high-beam headlamps on and off according to the surrounding traffic, enhancing nighttime visibility and safety.
All models feature a high-definition rear-vision camera that displays a digital image of the area directly behind your Equinox while you're reversing, helping you to avoid vehicles and objects and making parking in tight spots easier. The standard adaptive cruise control feature automatically adjusts the SUV's speed to maintain a safe, preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
All Equinox models feature 5G connectivity, allowing you to enjoy reliable, high-speed communication and real-time updates. Chevrolet also equips the SUV with Google Automotive Services, offering apps such as Google Assistant and Google Maps. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration ensures seamless smartphone connectivity without messy cables, and multiple strategically placed USB ports (two in the front and two in the rear) make charging your devices on the go a breeze.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox roars to life with a 175-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, guaranteeing a thrilling ride. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) variants boast a continuously variable transmission, providing impressive fuel efficiency and smooth acceleration. All-wheel-drive (AWD) versions pack an eight-speed automatic gearbox and offer better grip in challenging conditions.
Torque output varies depending on the drivetrain. FWD models crank out 185 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm, while AWD variants kick it up a notch, pumping out a substantial 203 lb-ft of torque at the same crankshaft speed. When properly equipped, the 2025 Equinox has a maximum towing capacity of around 1,500 pounds, and the 15.6-gallon fuel tank stretches your driving range, meaning fewer gas station stops.
A drive mode selector on the 2025 Equinox ACTIV and RS FWD trims allows you to switch between Normal, Snow, and Off-Road modes, tailoring the SUV's performance based on your driving preferences or road conditions. This system and a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,850 pounds enhance the SUV's overall performance and off-road prowess, making it a versatile option for daily commutes and weekend escapades.
Comfort and Convenience Redefined
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox elevates the driving experience with creature comforts and conveniences. Its spacious cabin provides ample room for passengers and cargo, and innovative technologies ensure a seamless ride. The AutoSense power liftgate opens automatically when you approach the rear of the SUV with your key fob in your pocket or bag, which is handy when your hands are full.
The available dual-pane power sunroof bathes the interior in natural light, while heated power outside mirrors and rain-sensing automatic wipers improve visibility in adverse weather conditions. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard on the ACTIV and RS models and optional on the LT, allowing you and your front passenger to select your preferred temperature settings.
With keyless open-and-start technology, you can lock and unlock the SUV's doors and turn the engine on and off without having to use the key fob. Wireless charging and a unique three-channel programmable universal home remote, which enables you to activate compatible devices, such as your garage door, are available on the Equinox LT and standard on the other models.
Cargo volume in the 2025 Equinox is outstanding. It boasts 29.8 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats upright, and this expands to an impressive 63.5 cubic feet when you fold the rear seat, providing versatility for various needs.
