Which Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox offers these trims:

• LT: This is the entry point, and it brings standard chrome grille mesh, 17-inch wheels, cloth seats, an 11-inch digital instrument cluster, an 11.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard driver-assistance features. It’s the best-value trim if you want the core Equinox experience with the strongest mix of equipment and price.
• Activ: This trim adds a more prominent lower front fascia, more chrome trim, all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, microfiber and Evotex seats, and a more rugged visual character. It suits you if you want the most distinctive look and the model’s off-road-leaning styling.
• RS: This trim adds more black trim, a wider grille, standard 19-inch wheels, upholstery with Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching, and a flat-bottom steering wheel. It’s the pick if you want the sportiest appearance in the lineup.

What Chevrolet Equinox do most buyers choose?

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

Those high-volume years tend to be popular because they give you the broadest mix of availability, pricing, and deal opportunities. When more listings are on the market, you usually have a better chance of finding the color, trim, and condition you want.

What is the Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

Most Equinox model years are down year over year, and several recent ones are posting double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup for used buyers, especially if you’re shopping newer model years that have already softened from last year’s pricing. The smaller drops on the oldest examples suggest those years are changing more gradually than the rest.

The 2014, 2015, and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
