Used 2022 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale nearMobile, AL

How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox cost?

Prices have softened 13.17% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,209 listings available, which gives you a healthy pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox earns 4.8/5 from owners and 6.8/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, fuel efficiency, and smooth ride, and they also like the modern features and overall value. The expert review echoes that appeal by calling out the easy-to-use technology and the model’s broad practicality for everyday driving.

The trade-offs are clear, though: the driving experience is fairly pedestrian, the transmission can be irritating, and cargo space is limited. In use-case terms, this is a good fit if you want a straightforward, familiar small SUV rather than something more ambitious or engaging.

The market also looks supportive, with 33.3% of listings classified as good or great deals.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. The owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers describing it as a vehicle they can count on for daily use.

The expert review reinforces that impression by emphasizing the Equinox’s practical, easygoing nature and its generally agreeable driving manners. Chevy also backs it with a three-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the vehicle’s basic, modest character will still suit your needs after a few years of ownership.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Equinox?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the transmission, interior condition, and how well the tech features work in real use. If you’re comparing multiple examples, pay close attention to trim content and whether the equipment matches the asking price.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The RS adds black exterior trim, darkened 19-inch wheels, a black interior with red stitching, and a model-specific shift knob, while most trim levels get cloth seats standard and perforated leather is available.
• Powertrain: The Equinox uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian braking, forward collision warning, following distance indicator, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, a Safety Alert Seat, and Teen Driver. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change alert, a surround-view camera system, front and rear park assist, and automatic parking assist.
• Infotainment: A 7-inch touchscreen is standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a built-in 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. Higher trim levels get an 8-inch touchscreen and a 4.2-inch instrument-cluster screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The Equinox is rated at 28 mpg combined, with 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway for front-wheel-drive models.

Which 2022 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 4 trim levels: LS, LT, RS, Premier.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, so it makes the most sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Equinox and are comfortable with the standard equipment.
• LT: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it builds on the base setup without pushing you into the pricier upper trims.
• RS: This trim is for you if you want the sportier appearance package, with black exterior trim, darkened wheels, and a black-and-red interior theme.
• Premier: Choose this if you want the most upscale version of the Equinox and are willing to pay more for the top trim.

Safety content notes that some advanced driver-assistance features remain optional rather than standard, so check each listing carefully before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Chevrolet Equinox?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you have room to shop, but the better listings can move quickly.

• Deal availability: 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,209 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.17% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 78.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $18,421, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $18,421 sits slightly below last year's $21,217.

That decline suggests the Equinox has become more affordable for used buyers, which can help demand in the near term. For a future seller, the softer pricing means you may need to be more competitive if you want to stand out against similarly equipped rivals.

At the same time, the model’s broad appeal, practical reputation, and strong owner satisfaction can help support steady interest. If you keep mileage, condition, and maintenance history in good shape, you should be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

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.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox received top “Good” scores in most Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests, but received a “Marginal” rating in the updated side crash test. It earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests and four-star ratings in rollover crash tests.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian braking, forward collision warning, following distance indicator, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, a Safety Alert Seat, and Teen Driver. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-change alert, a surround-view camera system, front and rear park assist, and automatic parking assist.

The main caveat is the Marginal IIHS result in the updated side crash test, so safety-minded shoppers should pay close attention to the vehicle’s equipment and condition.

Should I buy a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.17% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 adds revised styling, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available parking-assist features.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $20,509, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $18,421 average.
• It adds a little extra power and a more sophisticated braking system.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2022 is the smarter buy because prices are lower and deal availability is decent. If you’re willing to spend more for a slightly updated version, the 2023 is the better path for buyers who want the newer-year improvements.
