Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox earns a 7.67/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

The redesign gives you a more modern look, new standard tech, and a sub-$30k base price, which helps the Equinox feel like a stronger value than before. It also brings a new trim aimed at buyers who want more weekend-ready character.

The trade-offs are worth weighing: cargo space is small for the class, and off-road capability remains minimal even in ACTIV trim.

With 29.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room for value shopping.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox leans on a familiar 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, which helps keep the mechanical formula straightforward. The eight-speed automatic in AWD models is described as an improvement over the old six-speed, moving more quickly through the gears and making less noise overall.

Chevy also gives you standard wireless smartphone projection, Google Built-In, and a broad set of standard safety and driver-assistance features, which supports an easier ownership experience. The base model includes enough equipment that you may not feel pushed into options just to get the essentials.

Long-term ownership risk for used buyers looks moderate: the powertrain is simple, but the cabin tech and voice controls may be the areas most likely to frustrate you over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re shopping for a higher-mileage example or one with added equipment. Focus on overall condition, how the tech works in daily use, and whether the trim you’re considering has the features you actually want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LT is the base trim and comes with 17-inch wheels, while RS adds black mirrors and badges, a larger grille opening, red RS emblems, and standard 19-inch wheels. ACTIV brings a different look with dark chrome accents, simpler grille inserts, 17-inch wheels, and all-terrain tires.
• Powertrain: You get a single 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 175 horsepower. FWD models use a CVT, while AWD models use an eight-speed automatic, and AWD also increases torque output.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard and includes rear park assist, lane-change alert with side blind-zone alert, enhanced automatic emergency braking, enhanced lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, rear seat reminder, and automatic high beams. The available Safety & Technology package adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror.
• Infotainment: The standard touchscreen measures 11.3 inches, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Google Built-In is standard too, along with wi-fi hotspot capability and a six-speaker audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: No mpg or MPGe figure is stated in the available data.

Which 2025 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 3 trim levels: LT, RS, ACTIV.

Here's the short version:

• LT: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and the core equipment that makes the Equinox feel modern. You still get standard wireless smartphone projection, Chevy Safety Assist, and Teen Driver Technology, so it covers the essentials well.
• RS: This is the best fit if you want the sportier look and more visual flair. It adds black exterior details, larger standard wheels, and a darker, more aggressive cabin theme.
• ACTIV: This is the trim to choose if you want the most distinctive adventure-oriented appearance. It gets all-terrain tires, unique styling, and a lighter interior theme, but the content still says off-road ability remains limited.

The available Safety & Technology package can be added to any trim for extra driver-assistance and visibility features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox?

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

• Deal availability: 29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,705 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.05% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,115.33, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $26,775 sits slightly below last year's $30,102.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. If you plan to sell later, the current pricing trend may limit upside unless demand strengthens.

For a future seller, the key question is whether the Equinox’s new-generation appeal holds value better than the broader compact-SUV market. If it does, you may see steadier resale than the recent price decline suggests. If not, the softer market could continue to pressure used values.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

If you want more hardware, the available Safety & Technology package adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror for $1,085. That package is the main safety upgrade to look for on used listings.

Should I buy a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 29.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.05% compared with last year.
• It adds new standard tech and safety features, plus a redesigned cabin and exterior.

Consider the 2026 if:

• At $29,337, the 2026 costs more than the current year's $26,775 average.
• It adds a standard drive mode selector.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2025 is the smarter buy because it brings the redesign and a lower average price. If you’re willing to pay more for a slightly newer model year and don’t mind limited changes, the 2026 is the secondary path for shoppers who prioritize freshness over savings.
