What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Equinox?

At 65.1% 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 price looks unusually attractive. Focus on body condition, lighting equipment, and the operation of the infotainment and driver-assistance features, since those are the areas where this model year’s upgrades matter most. If you’re comparing multiple listings, give extra weight to the ones with cleaner records and better-equipped trims.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base L trim is special-order only and lacks a spare tire, a compass, and most paint choices, while the LS mainly adds those basics back plus a few convenience touches. The LT is the real starting point for shoppers who want a more complete experience, and the Premier is where the advanced safety features become available.
• Powertrain: You get three engines, including a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, a 1.6-liter turbodiesel, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter is efficient but underpowered, while the 2.0-liter is the strongest choice and pairs with a 9-speed automatic.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring is optional on the LT and standard only on the Premier, while adaptive cruise and pedestrian detection with auto braking are available only as an expensive package on the top two trims. The Lights and Bright package on the LT also adds LEDs that help address the headlight issue.
• Infotainment: The updated system includes an 8-inch touchscreen upgrade, standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and HD camera upgrades that improve visibility. The interface is easy to use, though response can be laggy.
• Fuel efficiency: The 1.5-liter engine is rated at 26 mpg city and 32 highway with FWD, the turbodiesel is rated at 28 mpg city and 39 highway, and the 2.0-liter turbo AWD is rated at 22 mpg city and 28 highway, with a combined rating of 24.

Which 2019 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 4 trim levels: L, LS, LT, Premier.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the cheapest entry point, but it’s special-order only and strips out basics like a spare tire and compass, so it’s hard to recommend for most used buyers.
• LS: This is the real starting trim, but it still feels sparse; it mainly restores basic equipment and adds only modest convenience upgrades.
• LT: This is the best-value trim because it opens the door to the stronger engine choices and more useful option packages, including the updated infotainment and camera tech.
• Premier: This is the trim to choose if you want the most complete safety and convenience setup, including the advanced driver-assistance features that are unavailable lower down.

Blind-spot monitoring is optional on the LT and standard only on the Premier, while adaptive cruise and pedestrian detection with auto braking are reserved for an expensive package on the top two trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Chevrolet Equinox?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,147 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 65.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,261, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $14,261 sits slightly below last year's $15,870.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you’re thinking about short-term resale. For a future seller, the softer pricing means condition, mileage, and equipment level will matter even more when it’s time to list. Well-equipped examples should hold up better than stripped-down ones, especially if they have cleaner histories and desirable safety features.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox earns top marks in both government and independent testing, though its headlights receive a Marginal IIHS rating.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The safety suite includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-change assist, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, adaptive cruise, and pedestrian detection with auto braking, but several of those features are not standard across the lineup. Blind-spot monitoring is only optional on the LT and standard on the Premier, while the more advanced systems are limited to an expensive package on the top two trims. The headlight rating is the main caveat you should keep in mind when shopping.

Should I buy a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 65.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.14% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds clearer visibility tech, including HD rear-view and surround-view cameras.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $12,541, the 2018 costs less than the current year's $14,261 average.
• It’s a smaller, more compact redesign with a practical, people-first focus.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $15,648, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $14,261 average.
• It adds a Midnight Edition package and standard advanced safety features.

The bottom line: The 2019 is the right pick if you want the year’s camera and infotainment updates at a softer price than newer models. If you’re shopping on a tighter budget, the 2018 can save you money, while the 2020 makes sense if you want a newer-feeling setup and are willing to pay more.
