The Chevrolet Equinox will likely be on your radar if you live in Yellowknife and are in the market for a small crossover SUV. But if you haven’t made your mind up yet, take a look at the stunningly redesigned, all-new 2025 Chevrolet Equinox, and we’re convinced you’ll like what you see.
There may only be three trim levels in the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox lineup, but all three are distinct. The entry-level LT trim is far too stylish and well-equipped to be considered a base model, but even the best must start somewhere. The exterior styling is rugged and highly contemporary, and an impressive list of standard features and equipment keeps the Equinox at the top of the class for those looking for great value. The ACTIV brings an entirely new character to the redesigned Equinox, with a unique front fascia and styling cues that create an unashamedly off-road look, all-terrain tires, and an available white roof for a two-tone finish. Last but not least, the RS is a total contrast. The RS goes down a sporty route with an available black roof, emblems and mirrors, wide grille opening, a high gloss finish on the grille bar and lower fascia, and standard 19-inch Carbon Flash machined alloy wheels.
Every version of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is still powered by a 1.5-liter turbo-four gas engine that delivers the appropriate power, capability, and fuel efficiency. The tried and trusted powerplant puts out 170 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque, which goes to the front wheels through a CVT or all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission with drive modes. The LT trim is a front-drive model that you can upgrade to AWD. However, if you choose the ACTIV or RS trim levels, all-wheel-drive is part of the standard specification. And if you want to do a bit of light towing with your new Equinox, AWD versions are rated to tow a maximum of 1,500 pounds. The new Equinox also offers ACTIV and RS customers driver-selectable modes, operated via a rotator on the centre console. This allows the driver to select from Normal and Snow on FWD-equipped vehicles, while those with AWD get the extra benefit of an Off-Road mode.
You can’t fail to be impressed by the significant upgrade the interior of the Equinox gets for the 2025 model year. Two large round air vents bookend the completely redesigned center console and a contemporary-styled new dashboard. A pair of new digital displays immediately catch the eye, with an 11.0-inch unit behind the steering wheel operating as the gauge display and an 11.3-inch unit providing access to Equinox’s Google-based infotainment system. The whole cabin is fresh, modern, and impressively upscale for a non-luxury model. Cloth is standard for the upholstery, but imitation leather is an option, and the top-of-the-line Activ trim level gets a mix of the vinyl with microfiber called Evotexf or a more upscale look and feel.
The Google-based infotainment keeps you and your passengers connected, and access to a Wi-Fi hotspot means nobody inside has to miss out. As we’ve come to expect from Equinox, the standard safety features are second to none and will undoubtedly result in the usual impressive crash-test ratings.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is a sensational compact crossover SUV that continues to go from strength to strength. The Equinox has always been known for its practicality, safety, efficiency, and affordability. However, the all-new fourth-generation takes the quality and desirability of the compact Chevy to an entirely new level.
