How much does the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox cost?

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox a good car?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox earns an expert rating of 7.67/10.

The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

It’s aimed at shoppers who want a more modern, value-focused compact SUV, with standard tech and safety features helping it feel well equipped for the money. 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.

With 37.9% of listings priced as good or great deals, there’s meaningful market support for shoppers who are comparing options carefully.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is presented as a modernised compact crossover with standard safety equipment and a single turbocharged engine, which points to a straightforward ownership experience. Its new transmission setup and updated tech package are part of the model’s broader redesign, and the available AWD setup adds flexibility for Canadian conditions.

The 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder is the only engine offered, and the eight-speed automatic in AWD versions is described as an improvement over the old six-speed. The standard equipment list also includes Chevy Safety Assist and Teen Driver Technology, which adds useful oversight features for households with newer drivers.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term risk is that you’ll want to verify the condition of the tech and driveline systems carefully, since this is a newly redesigned model year.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LT is the base trim and comes with 17-inch wheels, while the RS adds black mirrors and badges, a larger grille opening, red RS emblems, and standard 19-inch wheels. The ACTIV brings dark chrome accents, simpler grille inserts, 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres, and a more adventure-oriented look.
• Powertrain: You get a single 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 trims also add selectable drive modes, including Normal, Snow, and Off-Road.
• Safety package: Chevy Safety Assist is standard, along with rear park assist, side blind-zone alert, enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, rear seat reminder, automatic high beams, and Teen Driver Technology. A Safety & Technology package adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror.
• Infotainment: The standard 11.3-inch touchscreen includes Google Built-In, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless 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 value play if you want the lowest entry point and still want standard wireless smartphone projection, Chevy Safety Assist, Teen Driver Technology, and the new 11.3-inch infotainment screen. It’s the trim to focus on if you care most about getting the redesigned Equinox experience without paying for styling extras.
• RS: This is the sportier-looking choice, with blacked-out exterior details, larger standard wheels, and standard wireless charging. It suits you if you want the most aggressive appearance and a more upscale-feeling cabin.
• ACTIV: This is the best fit if you like the more rugged styling theme, all-terrain tyres, and the unique interior treatment. It’s the trim to choose if you want the most distinctive look, though it still isn’t a serious off-road model.

A Safety & Technology package is available on any trim and adds rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 485 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.78% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $34,799 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 $34,802 CAD sits slightly below last year's $39,448 CAD.

That price movement suggests the Equinox has become more accessible for used buyers, but it also means a future seller may face a softer market than last year. If you buy now, you’re entering at a lower average price point than recent owners saw. If you sell later, you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well the vehicle is equipped.

Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

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

An available Safety & Technology package will add rear pedestrian alert, HD surround vision, traffic-sign recognition, and a camera rearview mirror to any trim for $1,295. Just about every other safety or driver-assistance feature is standard, including rear park assist, side blind-zone alert, enhanced automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, rear seat reminder, and automatic high beams.

Teen Driver Technology is also standard, letting you set speed and volume limits, issue overspeed warnings, and require seatbelts before the vehicle will move or play music. That makes the Equinox especially appealing if you want a compact SUV with a strong built-in safety toolkit.

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:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.78% compared with last year.
• It brings a redesigned look, new standard tech, and stronger value positioning.

Consider the 2026 if:

• At $37,060 CAD, the 2026 costs more than the current year's $34,802 CAD average.
• It adds a standard drive mode selector.

The bottom line: Choose the 2025 if you want the redesigned Equinox at a lower average price and with more market leverage. Consider the 2026 only if you specifically want the newer model year and don’t mind paying more for relatively small changes.
