Which Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offers these trims:

What Chevrolet Equinox do most buyers choose?

The Chevrolet Equinox years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they offer a broad mix of newer features, strong availability, and plenty of shopping choice. When supply is deeper, you also get more chances to compare prices and find a well-equipped example.

What is the Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

Most Equinox model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit drops. That pattern can work in your favor if you’re shopping used, since it opens up more room to find a newer model at a lower price than before. The smaller declines on a few older years suggest those versions have been a bit steadier in the market.

The 2014, 2024, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
