About the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is positioned squarely in the competitive compact crossover segment, offering six available trims ranging from an accessible $28,600 to a top-tier $35,000. Power is consistently delivered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 175 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque across the majority of configurations, though the AWD variants utilize an 8-speed automatic transmission versus the standard continuously variable transmission (CVT) found elsewhere. Efficiency is a key metric, with the front-wheel-drive models achieving a 27 MPG combined rating (26 city / 28 highway) utilizing regular unleaded fuel. With a length of 183.2 inches and a 107.5-inch wheelbase, the 2025 Equinox provides substantial interior volume, including 29.8 cubic feet of dedicated cargo space behind the five available passenger seats.
