The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. This setup delivers confident performance with solid fuel economy-the perfect balance for daily driving and weekend adventures.

If you need extra traction and control, all-wheel drive is available. The Equinox's responsive steering and active noise cancellation make every drive comfortable and capable, whether you're navigating city streets or exploring rougher terrain. The ACTIV trim takes performance further with all-terrain tires and a specially tuned suspension for true off-road confidence.
