Used 2022 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale nearPhiladelphia, PA

How much does the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox cost?

Prices have softened 11.78% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 7,431 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox earns a 4.78/5 user rating and a 6.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfort, fuel efficiency, and spaciousness, and they also point to the smooth ride and modern features as reasons it feels like a good value. In use, that lines up with an SUV that works well if you want something practical and easy to live with rather than especially exciting. The main trade-offs are fairly pedestrian performance and an irritating transmission, and the model’s appeal is strongest if you value straightforward tech and everyday usability over flash. Good and great deals account for 32.7% of listings, so there’s still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

Owners rate it 4.78/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to comfort, fuel efficiency, and a smooth ride, which are all traits that usually matter in long-term ownership. The expert evaluation describes the Equinox as practical and easy to live with, and it notes that the technology is easy to use. 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 that a vehicle with this much age and mileage sensitivity should be checked carefully for wear and maintenance history.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the price looks unusually attractive. Focus on overall condition, because the Equinox’s value depends heavily on how well it has been maintained and whether the equipment you want is actually present. Pay close attention to signs of wear in the cabin and to how the transmission feels on a test drive.

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 as standard and perforated leather is available. The base setup is more straightforward, so the RS is the better fit if you want more personality.
• 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. It comes with standard front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive, and the torque helps in stop-and-go driving.
• Safety package: Standard driver-assist 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.
• 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, and navigation plus a Bose 7-speaker audio system are available.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA ratings are 28 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel-drive models lose 1 mpg in each category. The model is not offered as a hybrid.

Which 2022 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 3 trim levels: LS, LT, Premier.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Equinox lineup and are comfortable with the standard equipment set.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and gives you a more balanced mix of equipment and price.
• Premier: Choose this if you want the top-end version and are willing to pay more for the most upscale presentation in the range.

The safety package includes standard automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and Teen Driver, while adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring remain optional.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 7,431 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.78% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,241, 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 $19,241 sits slightly below last year's $21,811.

That price movement suggests the Equinox has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you shop carefully now, you may have less downside left than a buyer who paid closer to last year’s average. The key for resale will be keeping the vehicle in strong condition and avoiding examples with visible wear or a rough maintenance history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.78/5, 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 five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests, and four-star ratings in rollover crash tests from NHTSA.

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 Marginal side-crash result is the main safety caveat to keep in mind.

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:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.78% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.78/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 update adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, revised styling, and available park-assist features.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $21,575, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $19,241 average.
• It adds a little extra power and a more sophisticated braking system.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter buy because it already reflects a softer market and still brings the useful tech updates that matter most. If you can stretch for a newer model and want the incremental improvements, the 2023 is the cleaner upgrade, but price-sensitive shoppers should focus on the 2022.
