The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a fuel-efficient 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Available all-wheel drive gives you confidence in all weather and road conditions, balancing power with solid fuel economy.

Handling is refined and responsive. The Equinox's 18.7-foot turning radius makes it genuinely easy to navigate tight city streets and parking spots-better than competitors in its class. Active noise cancellation and a specially tuned suspension on the ACTIV trim provide a quiet, capable ride whether you're commuting or exploring. The ACTIV model adds all-terrain tires and suspension tuning for adventurous drivers who want more off-road capability.
