The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox offers distinct trim personalities to match your lifestyle. The **RS trim** brings a sporty edge with athletic styling and accents, perfect if you value performance-inspired design. The **ACTIV trim** is tailored for adventure seekers and features all-terrain tires, a specially tuned suspension, and premium Evotex and suede microfiber seating that balances comfort with durability. Both trims showcase the Equinox's refined interior-a step above typical compact SUVs. The ACTIV gives you serious capability without losing on-road comfort, while the RS delivers style and sportiness. All trims include the new 11.3-inch infotainment screen and Chevy Safety Assist.
