CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

Summary
With 3,329 currently listed for sale and an average price of $10,111, 29.6% of 2017 Chevrolet Equinoxes for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox 4.8 / 5 stars.
61.8% of 2017 Equinox models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox stands out as the first year of the third-generation redesign, which made the SUV smaller and lighter than the second-generation model while keeping the roomy interior that had become one of the Equinox’s defining traits. It also brought more advanced technology and a trio of fuel-efficient turbocharged four-cylinder engines, giving the compact crossover a more modern feel without abandoning the space that helped make it popular. For buyers, that combination of practicality and updated engineering is the main appeal.
In this model year, the standard engine was a 1.5-liter turbo four with 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel drive was available. Cargo space measured 29.9 cubic feet behind the back seat and 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. Every third-generation Equinox came with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which adds to its everyday usability. The tradeoff is that the 2017 Equinox was still early in the generation, and the broader reliability picture for this era suggests the first few years can be the most problematic, so a careful inspection and vehicle history check are especially important.

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also emphasizes dependability, which is encouraging if you want a used SUV you can count on for everyday driving. The positive comments about comfort and value suggest many owners have had a trouble-free ownership experience. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that early-generation examples can vary widely in condition, so maintenance history matters a lot.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Chevrolet Equinox?
At 61.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether the car has any accident, title, or structural damage in its past. Then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of wear that could affect long-term ownership. Because this model year is early in its generation, it makes sense to be especially careful about how the vehicle was maintained and repaired.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Chevrolet Equinox?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,307 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.84% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 61.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $10,113, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?
The current average of $10,113 sits slightly below last year's $10,856.
That decline suggests the market has become a bit softer, which can work against you if you plan to sell soon. On the other hand, the lower entry price may help keep demand steady among shoppers looking for value. If you maintain the vehicle well and keep its history clean, you can improve your odds of getting a stronger offer later.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 61.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.84% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2018 if:
- At $12,442, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $10,113 average.
- It is a smaller, more compact redesign with a more polished, straightforward mission.
The 2017 is the better path if you want the lower price and strong owner satisfaction, especially if you can verify a clean history and solid maintenance. If you’re willing to spend more for the newer redesign, the 2018 is the better secondary path for buyers who want a more modern compact-SUV feel.
