The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox pairs a fuel-efficient 1.5L Turbo 4-cylinder engine with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering confident performance on city streets and beyond. All-wheel drive is available for drivers who want extra traction and capability. The turbo provides a more refined, balanced performance than smaller 3-cylinder competitors, without sacrificing fuel economy. For adventure seekers, the Equinox ACTIV trim features all-terrain tires and a specially tuned suspension-upgrades you won't find standard on rivals. The result is smooth handling, responsive steering, and a quiet ride thanks to active noise cancellation, making every drive capable and comfortable. Curious about real-world performance?
