What Chevrolet Equinox do most buyers choose?

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

A few years are falling more slowly than others, which gives you some room to compare prices across the lineup.

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