Chevy is already looking to the future when it comes to the Equinox. The 2025 Equinox arrives with an updated look, an all-new trim, performance enhancements, more advanced safety technology, and an upgraded interior.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox will be available at three trim levels: LT, RS, and the all-new ACTIV.
All-new Equinox ACTIV
If you’re familiar with other Chevy models, you may recognize the “ACTIV” trim name, which can be found on the Trax and Trailblazer. This option is all-new for the 2025 Equinox and gives the SUV an outdoorsy look inside and out. In the front is a rugged front fascia while the entire exterior features blacked-out badging and 17-inch machined-face aluminum wheels. The athletic ACTIV design extends to the cabin. The interior has a Maple Sugar and Black theme with premium Evotex and suede seats.
Performance and Capability
Under the hood of the new Chevy Equinox will be a 1.5-liter Turbo engine that delivers 175 horsepower, just like the 2024 model. Transmission options vary based on the drive configuration, with front-wheel drive models offering a continuously variable transmission while all-wheel drive models have an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Even though it’s considered a compact SUV, you can still use the 2025 Equinox for trailering. In fact, Chevy estimates that the new version of the Equinox will have a max towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when equipped with all-wheel drive.
For the first time ever in the Equinox, you’ll get to choose from various drive modes. The RS and ACTIV trims offer Normal and Snow modes on FWD models via the rotator on the center console. AWD models add an adventurous Off-Road mode for improved performance on various terrain.
Design
The expressive exterior of the Chevrolet Equinox has been updated for 2025. For starters, the SUV is now 2.3 inches wider than the previous model, giving it a stronger stance. Additional design elements have been inspired by the vehicle’s larger sibling, the Traverse. This includes things like its squared wheel openings, full LED lighting, and distinct C-pillar shark fin that gives the SUV a sense of motion.
Exclusive interior features can be found on the 2025 Equinox RS. On the outside, you can go with the standard 17-inch wheels or upgrade to the available 20-inch wheels instead. The cabin has premium Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel, and embossed “RS” logos on the headrests in the front row.
Technology
To help you stay connected, entertained, and safe on the go, the 2025 Chevy Equinox is outfitted with all kinds of advanced technology. In the cabin is an 11-inch diagonal driver information center, behind the steering wheel, that showcases vital vehicle details. The infotainment screen is 30 percent larger than the outgoing model’s screen, measuring 11.3 inches and working seamlessly with connected services via Google built-in. For even more convenience, consider adding the available wireless charging pad that lets you power up devices without worrying about cords cluttering the cabin.
In addition to the tech that keeps you entertained, the new Equinox also has some safety upgrades. The 2025 model features a Front Pedestrian Braking system with the added ability to detect bicyclists, too. Other newly standard safety systems include Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Park Assist, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
