CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Chevrolet Equinox

Summary
With 429 currently listed for sale near Philadelphia, PA and an average price of $14,825, 36.1% of 2021 Chevrolet Equinoxes for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox 4.43 / 5 stars.
85.8% of 2021 Equinox models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Chevrolet Equinox stands out as a roomy compact crossover with a practical, easygoing character. It belongs to the third generation, which brought a smaller and lighter design than the previous model, along with more advanced technology and a trio of turbocharged four-cylinder engines. For buyers who want a used SUV that feels modern without being oversized, that combination is a big part of its appeal.
In 2021, the Premier models gained additional features, and Chevrolet also offered new appearance packages called Midnight Edition, Redline Edition, and Sport Edition. The Equinox already came with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and by 2021 it could be had with a new infotainment system, adaptive cruise control, and more standard safety equipment than before. It also offered a 1.5-liter engine with 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, plus available all-wheel drive, so it delivered enough everyday capability for many shoppers.
There are tradeoffs, though. Cargo space was 29.9 cubic feet behind the back seat and 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seat folded, which is useful but not class-leading. The model also has a reputation for serious engine problems in some earlier third-generation years, so a careful vehicle history check and inspection still matter. Even so, the 2021 Equinox remains appealing for its roomy cabin, broad feature set, and generally approachable used-market value.

Features on this particular car are nice all-wheel drive, power lift gate, heated seats, leather wrapped steering wheel. These are features I prefer. Interior is roomy for a cross-over type suv. I would compare to Honda CRV, Hyundai Tuscon, and Kia Sportage.

Great driving car, limitations are it does not have auto open and close for back door. The sound system has a cutoff button on the steering column but it does not work.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Equinox?
At 74.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
Start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from cars with prior damage or repeated claims. Then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage or lower-priced listing. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and how the vehicle drives, since those details matter more than cosmetic appeal alone.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chevrolet Equinox?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 6,440 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.06% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 74.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $16,647, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?
The current average of $16,647 sits slightly below last year's $18,306.
That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. If you keep the SUV clean, documented, and accident-free, you give yourself a better chance of standing out when it is time to sell.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.43/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 33.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 74.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.06% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.43/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $15,620, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $16,647 average.
- It is a straightforward daily driver with practical commuting focus.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $19,209, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $16,647 average.
- It adds revised styling and wireless smartphone integration.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the best all-around pick if you want a balanced mix of value, features, and market availability. If your priority is spending less, the 2020 is the better budget path; if you want newer tech and are willing to pay more, the 2022 is the upgrade to compare.
