CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
overall

Summary
With 193 currently listed for sale near Wichita, KS and an average price of $12,955, 57.5% of 2018 Chevrolet Equinoxes for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox 4.3 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.
73.1% of 2018 Equinox models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox stands out as a redesigned compact SUV that Chevrolet has moved squarely into the heart of the segment. Compared with the brand’s previous positioning for the model, this version is smaller in almost every way, and that shift gives it a more direct role among compact crossovers. It also aims to balance people space with cargo space, though the description notes that cargo room remains somewhat restricted.
What makes the 2018 Equinox distinctive is less about personality and more about polish and practicality. Chevrolet has “sanitized” it for protection, which suggests a safer, more controlled character, but also one that may feel less expressive than before. For buyers, that tradeoff can still be appealing if they want a comfortable, efficient crossover with a roomy cabin and a straightforward mission. At the same time, the model’s limited cargo space means it may not be the best fit for shoppers who prioritize maximum utility.

Comfortable interior with user-friendly infotainment system (Apple CarPlay, Android Auto) Good cargo space for the class Variety of safety features (like forward collision alert, lane keep assist on higher trims) Multiple engine options (including a turbocharged 4-cylinder) Available all-wheel drive Value: The Equinox tends to offer solid value in the compact SUV segment with a reasonable starting price and decent fuel economy. It’s practical for daily driving and small families. What it might be missing: Not as sporty or powerful as some competitors Interior materials on base trims can feel a bit cheap compared to rivals Some rivals offer more advanced safety tech as standard

There are 4,602 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?
Generally — the 4.3/5 user rating points to solid owner satisfaction, and the expert score is 7.17/10. The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.
Owners repeatedly praise the comfortable ride, spacious interior, and good fuel economy. The turbo engine also comes up as a meaningful upgrade for better power and efficiency. In practical terms, that makes this a sensible choice if you want a comfortable, efficient compact SUV with a roomy cabin and a straightforward mission.
The market also looks fairly accessible, with 30.7% of listings marked as good or great deals.
Is the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?
Owners rate it 4.3/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
User feedback also points to a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with repeated praise for the comfortable ride and efficient turbo powertrain. The expert review describes the Equinox as refined and inoffensive, with a powertrain that is adequate for everyday use and a chassis that goes where it is steered, stops smoothly, and delivers a good ride. The review also notes that the first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some owners have raised concerns about engine reliability, so a careful inspection and service-history review matter.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Chevrolet Equinox?
At 61.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing has incomplete service records or signs of prior bodywork. Focus on overall condition, maintenance consistency, and whether the turbo powertrain feels smooth under load. Because this model year was redesigned, it is worth checking that all major convenience and safety features work as expected.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The Premier trim adds a more upscale look and feel, while the LT and Premier trims get most of the driver-assistance and collision-avoidance systems. Base-trim shoppers should pay close attention to feature gaps if those systems matter to you.
- Powertrain: The standard 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, and the review notes that additional turbocharged gasoline and diesel engine choices were planned for the model year.
- Safety package: Standard equipment includes Rear Seat Reminder, Teen Driver technology, and OnStar Guidance Plan features such as automatic collision notification, crisis assist, and emergency services. The Safety Alert Seat is available, but adaptive cruise control and full-speed-range automatic emergency braking are not offered.
- Infotainment: Chevrolet’s MyLink system includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, OnStar subscription services, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi connection. A 360-degree surround-view camera system is also mentioned.
- Fuel efficiency: The EPA says the front-wheel-drive model should return 28 mpg in combined driving, while the test result came in at 23.3 mpg.
Which 2018 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?
The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 4 trim levels: L, LS, LT, and Premier.
Here's the short version:
- L: This is the entry point, so it makes sense only if you want the lowest purchase price and are comfortable giving up the richer equipment found higher up the range.
- LS: This is the trim to target if you want a basic but more usable setup than the L without stretching too far on price.
- LT: This is the best-value trim because it unlocks much of the driver-assistance and collision-avoidance content that the lower trims miss.
- Premier: This is the pick if you want the most upscale cabin presentation and are willing to pay for it.
The safety-package content is concentrated in the LT and Premier trims, so those are the ones to focus on if driver-assistance features matter most.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Chevrolet Equinox?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 4,602 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.49% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 61.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $12,397, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?
The current average of $12,397 sits slightly below last year's $13,697.
That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, it also means resale upside may be limited unless the vehicle is especially clean, well maintained, and well equipped. Listings with strong condition and desirable features should still hold buyer interest better than average.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox safe?
The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox does not have crash-test ratings cited in the source text.
It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.
Standard safety equipment includes Rear Seat Reminder, Teen Driver technology, and OnStar Guidance Plan features such as automatic collision notification, crisis assist, and emergency services. Chevrolet also offers a Safety Alert Seat, but the review notes that adaptive cruise control and full-speed-range automatic emergency braking are not available.
Should I buy a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 61.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.49% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
- The 2018 brings a full redesign that makes the Equinox smaller, more modern, and more competitive in the compact-SUV segment.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $14,051, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $12,397 average.
- It adds HD rear-view and surround-view cameras.
The bottom line: If you want the lower price and are comfortable with the 2018’s simpler, more restrained character, this year makes sense. If you can spend more and want the camera and infotainment upgrades, the 2019 is the better follow-up choice.
