Drive With Ease in the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox
Sporty and Fuel-Savvy Performance
Delivering turbocharged performance with its 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, the 2025 Equinox has sporty, reliable response. This engine pairs with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), with FWD models providing 175 horsepower alongside 203 pound-feet of torque and AWD models also offering 175 horsepower with 184 pound-feet of torque. FWD models get up to 28 MPG on highways and 26 MPG in cities, while AWD models offer an estimated 29 MPG on highways and 24 MPG in cities.
A Comfortable and First-Class Interior
In the rear of the cabin is a standard 60/40 split-folding bench seat, while the seats up front have a heating function. A heated steering wheel is also included, and select upper trims have both heated rear seats and a ventilation setting up front. Also standard, the climate control system in lower trims comes with dual-zone functionality in upper trims, and if you need to haul cargo, you can easily secure it with the optional cargo organizer.
Designed With Convenience and Style
Outside the vehicle, the manual liftgate found on the base trim is replaced by a hands-free, power-programmable liftgate in select trims. The standard power side mirrors have a heating function and can be complemented by available fog lamps and rain-adaptive wipers, and while most trims have all-season tires, all-terrain tires are available for extra versatility. Along with the all-new Cacti Green, you have plenty of nature-based paint colors to choose from, like Reef Blue Metallic and Summit White.
How reliable is the 1.5L turbo engine and FWD/AWD drivetrain in the 2025 Equinox for everyday driving?
The 1.5L turbocharged engine has been engineered for efficiency and consistent performance. FWD models achieve up to 28–29 MPG highway, while AWD models maintain solid control in wet or uneven roads.
Which drivetrain (FWD vs AWD) offers better real-world fuel efficiency and handling in the 2025 Equinox?
FWD models are more fuel-efficient, ideal for city driving and highway commutes. AWD adds traction and stability for occasional wet roads or light off-road conditions but slightly lowers MPG. For drivers primarily in urban or suburban areas, FWD is typically sufficient. For those needing extra traction in rainy seasons or snowy conditions, AWD is the recommended choice.
Next-Level Technology Throughout
Boasting next-level technology as well, this edition comes with the 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center for gauging information, multiple USB ports and 12-volt powerpoints for charging devices, and an available wireless charger for smartphones. The standard infotainment system pairs with a six-speaker audio system and lets you stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth, access driver preference settings, make hands-free calls, and get directions to destinations. There’s also an available rear camera mirror to help you see around taller rear-seat passengers.
Many Standard Driver-Assist Features
Few SUVs offer as many first-class driver-assist features as this SUV does, with standard highlights including Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Side Bicyclist Alert, and Pedestrian Braking for avoiding frontal collisions, and Adaptive Cruise Control for more relaxing highway journeys. Teen Driver is also included, allowing you to set driving restrictions for younger drivers, and every model also has Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking for reversing out of parking spaces and driveways.
Which 2025 Equinox trim offers the best value given features vs price for buyers on a budget?
The LT trim strikes a balance of value and features: it includes dual-zone climate control, an 11-inch infotainment screen, and advanced safety tech without the premium price of the RS or Premier trims. For budget-conscious buyers, LT provides the best mix of comfort, technology, and safety.
