Used 2023 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale nearToronto, ON

How much does the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox cost?

Prices have softened 14.02% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 563 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 7/10 across Form and function, Cost effectiveness, and Technology.

It remains a sensible compact crossover if you want an uncomplicated and practical SUV. The Equinox’s easy-to-use technology, great ride quality, and excellent value for money are strong draws, while the 2023 updates add a little extra power, a more sophisticated braking system, and new paint colours.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, the transmission is irritating, and road noise is a drawback. Even so, it suits you best if comfort, value, and straightforward usability matter more than excitement.

With 31.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still meaningful value in the market.

Is the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2023 Equinox is presented as a practical, easy-to-use compact crossover with a comfort-first character, and its updated braking system adds to the sense that Chevrolet refined the basics for this model year. The powertrain is described as adequate for city driving, and the chassis tuning is praised for handling bumps and potholes nicely.

Chevrolet also highlights straightforward ownership appeal through its value positioning, and the model’s simple controls and familiar layout should make day-to-day use easy. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that its older-feeling transmission and modest performance may be more noticeable as mileage builds.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Equinox?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LS, LT, RS, and Premier each build on the same practical foundation, but the base LS misses some comfort equipment that appears higher up the range. Heated front seats are standard on all trims, while a heated steering wheel is available on the LT and RS and standard on Premier.
• Powertrain: You get a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. It is fine around town, but it can feel noisy and short on urgency at higher speeds.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert with pedestrian detection and braking, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are extra-cost options on every trim but Premier.
• Infotainment: The LS, LT, and RS use a 7-inch touchscreen, while Premier gets an 8-inch unit. All trims include wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Bluetooth, and a Wi-Fi hotspot with an OnStar subscription.
• Fuel efficiency: AWD models should return 9.9 L/100 km in the city, 7.9 on the highway, and 9.0 combined. FWD models are rated at 8.9 city, 7.7 highway, and 8.4 combined.

Which 2023 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 4 trim levels: LS, LT, RS, and Premier.

Here's the short version:

• LS: This is the value-focused starting point, and it gives you the core Equinox experience at the lowest entry price. It makes sense if you want the basics and plan to keep costs down, but you will miss some convenience features found higher up.
• LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday comfort and flexibility without jumping to the top of the range. It is also the point where a heated steering wheel becomes available, which helps if you drive through Canadian winters.
• RS: Choose this if you want a more distinctive look and a slightly richer feature set than the LT. It sits above the LT and adds a sportier appearance, but it is still best for buyers who care more about style and convenience than outright performance.
• Premier: This is the most upscale choice, with the largest touchscreen and standard heated steering wheel. It suits you if you want the most polished Equinox experience and are willing to pay more for it.

Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are extra-cost options on every trim but Premier.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Chevrolet Equinox?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 563 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.02% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $24,873 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $24,873 CAD sits slightly below last year's $28,929 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Equinox has become more affordable for used buyers, which can make it easier to move later if you price it competitively. The current market also shows a fairly tight year-round range, so condition, trim, and equipment will matter when you go to sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, but it scored a Poor rating in the IIHS moderate overlap front crash test and a Marginal score in the side-impact crash test.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert with pedestrian detection and braking, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are extra-cost options on every trim but Premier.

The main caveat is the weaker IIHS performance, which is worth weighing if crash-test results are a top priority for you.

Should I buy a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds a little extra power, a more sophisticated braking system, and three new paint colours.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $22,719 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $24,873 CAD average.
• It was updated with revised styling and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced buy, the 2023 is the stronger pick because it brings useful updates and a softer market price. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 remains a sensible alternative, especially if you find one in good condition with the features you want.
