Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

The expert rating is 7.67/10, and the redesign gives you a more truck-like look, new standard tech, and new standard safety features.
The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

For you, that means the 2025 Equinox makes the most sense if you want a compact crossover with a fresh design, standard wireless smartphone integration, and a value-focused base price. The main trade-offs are a small cargo area for the class and a voice assistant that can be finicky.
The market also looks reasonably supportive, with 32.6% of listings priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

The 2025 Equinox’s appeal leans more on its updated hardware and standard equipment than on any dramatic mechanical complexity. You get a single turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, and the AWD version pairs that engine with an eight-speed automatic that the experts found smoother and quieter than the old six-speed. The ride is described as quiet and comfortable outside of harder acceleration, which is a good sign for everyday use.

Chevy also builds in a lot of standard equipment that can help reduce ownership friction, including wireless smartphone projection, Google Built-In, and standard safety tech. The cost-effectiveness coverage also notes that the base model already includes standard wireless smartphone projection, Chevy Safety Assist, and Teen Driver Technology. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the compact crossover’s small cargo area and modest powertrain may leave you wanting more if your needs grow.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on how the cabin, tech, and driver-assistance features work in real use, since those are central to the Equinox’s value proposition. If you’re shopping a trim with AWD, make sure the added hardware and tires match the seller’s description.

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 is the more adventure-flavored trim, 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 raises 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, wireless Android Auto, Google Built-In, wi-fi hotspot capability, and a six-speaker audio system are standard. Wireless charging is standard on RS and ACTIV and available on LT.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD models are limited to a maximum tow rating of 800 pounds, while AWD models can tow up to 1,500 pounds.

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, since it gives you the sub-$30k entry point, standard wireless smartphone projection, and the core safety and tech features without pushing the price up. If you want the best balance of cost and equipment, this is the trim to start with.
• RS: This is the better choice if you want the sportier look and more visual flair, with black exterior details, larger standard wheels, and a darker, more expressive cabin. It suits you best if style matters more than keeping the sticker price down.
• ACTIV: This is the trim to choose if you want the most weekend-ready appearance, with all-terrain tires, unique exterior treatment, and a lighter two-tone interior theme. It is the right pick if you want the most distinctive personality, though the experts still describe its off-road ability as limited.

Chevy Safety Assist is standard across the lineup, and the available Safety & Technology package can be added to any trim.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,635 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.12% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,112.62, 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 $26,695 sits slightly below last year's $30,034.

That price movement suggests the Equinox has already absorbed a meaningful chunk of depreciation, which can help you if you buy now and sell later. If the market stays steady, a used example purchased near today’s average should have less room to fall than it did a year ago. For a future seller, that usually means your biggest risk is overpaying at purchase rather than a sudden collapse in value.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

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

Chevy Safety Assist is standard, and it brings 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 for $1,085. Teen Driver Technology is also standard, letting you set limits and monitor driving behavior for a secondary driver.

The main safety caveat is that some of the most useful visibility and awareness upgrades are bundled into the optional package rather than included on every example. If you want the fullest safety setup, you should verify that package on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

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:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.12% compared with last year.
• The redesign brings new standard tech and safety features, plus a more truck-like look.

Consider the 2026 if:

• At $29,100, the 2026 costs more than the current year's $26,695 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 combines a lower average price with the fresh redesign and strong standard equipment. If you’re price-sensitive, the 2025 still gives you the more compelling path, while the 2026 only makes sense if you specifically want the small update and are comfortable paying more.
