What Chevrolet Equinox do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment levels. They also sit close enough to the current generation to feel modern while still offering used-car value.

What is the Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

Most Equinox model years are down by double digits year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used.

A few older years have declined less sharply, but the overall direction is still clearly lower.

The 2016, 2025, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
