    2025 Chevrolet Equinox Overview
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox marks a significant step forward for Chevy’s compact SUV, blending rugged new aesthetics with updated technology and expanded trim options. Customers of the Prescott Valley Chevrolet dealer love the fourth-generation Equinox’s boxier, more assertive design that brings it in line with the automaker’s SUV lineup, including the larger Traverse and the sporty Trailblazer. Notably wider than its predecessor, the 2025 model offers even more visual appeal and interior space. With a focus on accommodating a variety of lifestyles, Chevrolet has introduced the new Activ trim, catering to outdoor enthusiasts with its off-road capabilities. This comprehensive redesign positions the Equinox as a versatile and modern choice in the competitive compact SUV segment.

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox seats five in three trims: Activ, LT, and RS. Under the hood of every Equinox is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. According to the Prescott Valley Chevrolet dealership, this engine pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) in front-wheel-drive models. If you opt for all-wheel drive, the Equinox gets an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a tailored driving experience to match various driving conditions and preferences.

The automotive media gives the 2025 Chevy Equinox high marks, with Kelley Blue Book writing: “Compact SUVs are among the best-selling vehicles in the country, and the segment is packed with compelling options. It may be getting another, with a new and improved Chevy Equinox … The redesigned Equinox looks more refined and rugged at once ...”

The new 2025 Chevrolet Equinox greets passengers with sleek, modern styling and two expansive screens. The driver’s view features an 11-inch configurable gauge and information display, while the center console is dominated by an 11.3-inch touchscreen serving as the infotainment hub. This setup features Chevy’s latest Google-based infotainment interface, which includes access to a Wi-Fi hotspot and Google Maps navigation. By relocating the transmission selector to the steering column, Chevrolet has freed up additional space in the center console, making it more practical for everyday use.

Cargo capacity behind the second row stands at 29.8 cubic feet, expanding to a generous 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down—ample room for most needs. The increased width of the new model, up by 2.3 inches, particularly benefits front passengers, providing a more spacious and comfortable ride overall.

Each of the three Equinox trim levels presents a distinct look, yet all share a bolder and more dynamic design than previous models. The LT and Activ trims feature unique 17-inch wheel designs, while the sporty RS stands out with larger 19-inch wheels. Regardless of wheel size, the squared-off openings within flared fenders frame them beautifully. The RS trim features blacked-out elements, including logos and outboard mirrors, complemented by a wider grille with a high-gloss finish. In contrast, the adventure-oriented Activ trim is distinguished by gray-finished accents and blacked-out badging, enhancing its rugged appearance.

Every new 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with Chevy Safety Assist, a comprehensive suite of advanced safety technologies. This package includes automatic emergency braking with bicycle and pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and high-beam assist, enhancing overall safety on the road. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and rear park assist further bolster driver confidence and vehicle safety. Standard across all Equinox models, the Teen Driver technology offers parents a proactive way to promote safe driving habits in their teenagers. This feature provides a practical tool for encouraging responsible driving behaviors in young drivers by enabling customizable vehicle settings and monitoring driving performance.
