Which Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

What Chevrolet Equinox do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and a wide range of prices. More listings also make it easier to compare trims, mileage, and condition before you buy.

What is the Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

Most Chevrolet Equinox model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit declines. That pattern is helpful if you are shopping used, because it points to more attractive pricing across much of the lineup.

The smallest year-over-year changes are concentrated in the older model years, which suggests those versions have softened less than the rest of the range. Even so, the overall direction is still downward for most years, so buyers have room to find value.

The 2016, 2015, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
