The ACTIV is a new trim for the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox designed for drivers who want a bit more adventure. It features all-terrain tires and a specially tuned suspension that rivals can't match-not even available as upgrades on the Ford Escape or Nissan Rogue. The cabin gets premium touches like Evotex and suede microfiber seating. Whether you're tackling rugged trails or exploring backcountry roads, the ACTIV delivers smooth handling and a confident, comfortable ride. If city streets are more your speed, the sporty RS trim brings a bold, athletic edge with its own design flair. Both new options make the 2025 Equinox more versatile than ever. Explore your trim preferences by browsing inventory at Markquart Motors or calling (715) 833-0444.
