Used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox for Sale nearNanaimo, BC

How much does the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox cost?

Prices have softened 11.24% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 528 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox earns a 7.67/10 expert rating, and its redesign is aimed at broadening appeal with new standard tech and safety features, new transmissions, and a new trim for weekend-warrior buyers.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

It also brings a more modern, value-focused pitch than before, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a sub-$30,000 base price noted in the overview. The trade-offs are that the cargo compartment is small for the class, off-road capability is minimal even in ACTIV trim, and the voice assistant can be finicky.

For shoppers who want a compact SUV that feels well equipped for the money, the Equinox makes a strong case. The market also shows 36.4% of listings as good or great deals, which supports its value story.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is presented as a modernised compact crossover with new standard tech and safety features, and its expert assessment points to a well-rounded package rather than a complicated one.

Its single engine is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, and the eight-speed automatic in AWD models is described as an improvement over the old six-speed because it shifts more quickly and with less noise. The ride is also described as fairly quiet and comfortable outside of harder acceleration.

Chevrolet also includes standard wireless smartphone projection, Chevy Safety Assist, and Teen Driver Technology, which adds useful controls for households sharing the vehicle. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the small engine can feel strained in highway passing and merging.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LT is the value-oriented starting point, with standard 17-inch wheels and a more traditional look, while RS and Activ add more distinctive styling. The RS brings black mirrors and badges, a larger grille opening, red RS emblems, and standard 19-inch wheels, while the Activ adds dark chrome accents, simpler grille inserts, all-terrain tyres, and a more adventure-themed cabin. The base trim is the one most likely to leave you without the more expressive styling and wheel choices.
• Powertrain: Every model uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. LT FWD models use a CVT, while AWD versions use an eight-speed automatic. AWD models can tow up to 680 kilograms, while FWD models are limited to 360 kilograms.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard, and it includes enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, rear seat reminder, automatic high beams, rear park assist, and side blind-zone alert. An available Safety & Technology package adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror.
• Infotainment: The standard setup includes an 11.3-inch touchscreen, Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a six-speaker audio system. Wireless charging is standard on RS and Activ and available on LT.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-consumption figure is stated in the provided data.

Which 2025 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 3 trim levels: LT, RS, Activ.

Here's the short version:

• LT: This is the best-value starting point if you want the new Equinox’s core strengths without paying for styling extras. You still get standard wireless smartphone projection, Chevy Safety Assist, and Teen Driver Technology, so it covers the essentials well.
• RS: Choose this if you want the sportier look and more upscale visual treatment, including the blacked-out exterior details and larger standard wheels. It also gets standard wireless charging, making it the more feature-rich choice if you like the darker cabin theme.
• Activ: Pick this if you prefer the more rugged appearance and the all-terrain tyre setup. It is the trim that best matches the weekend-warrior brief, though the content still makes clear that off-road capability remains limited.

The available Safety & Technology package can be added to any trim.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox?

The current market looks moderate, which means you can be selective without expecting deep discounts on every listing.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 528 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.24% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,548 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $34,548 CAD sits slightly below last year's $38,922 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Equinox is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago. For a future seller, that means you may face more competition if you try to resell into a market that has already cooled. On the other hand, the model’s updated tech and safety story should help it remain broadly appealing if you keep it in good condition.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

It includes Chevy Safety Assist as standard, with enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, rear seat reminder, automatic high beams, rear park assist, and side blind-zone alert. Teen Driver Technology is also standard, letting you set limits and monitor driving behaviour for younger drivers.

An available Safety & Technology package adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror for $1,295 CAD. That package is the main safety-related upgrade to look for on used listings.

Should I buy a 2025 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.24% compared with last year.
• The redesign brings new standard tech and safety features, plus a more value-focused pitch.

Consider the 2026 if:

• At $36,882 CAD, the 2026 costs more than the current year's $34,548 CAD average.
• It adds a standard drive mode selector.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2025 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with a fresh redesign and strong standard equipment. If you are willing to pay more for a slightly newer model year and a small update, the 2026 is the cleaner alternative for price-insensitive buyers.
