When will the 2025 Equinox be released?
The 2025 Equinox should be released by the end of the year. The Equinox has been Chevrolet’s best selling SUV for years now, so it’s definitely recommended to get the latest model sooner rather than later. The 2025 Equinox will be produced in 3 trim levels, the base LT and the Active and RS trims.
Need help trying to decide which trim is right for you? We’ll be going more in depth on each trim in this article, handing you the tools to make an educated decision on whether or not the 2025 Equinox is the car for you.
What colors does the 2025 Chevy Equinox come in?
The Equinox comes in a wide variety of colors for the 2025 model year. A major bonus being introduced to this generation is complimentary two-tone paint, which takes the form in a white or black roof trim. The colors available this year are: Mosaic Black, Red Tintcoat, Reef Blue, Cacti Green, and Sterling Grey, which all come with a one or two tone option. The Equinox wears these colors well as it looks to impress on the road in 2025, and the degree of customization should be a hit with potential buyers.
How much will the 2025 Chevy Equinox cost?
The Equinox has increased in price over 2024, coming in at a starting MSRP of $31,080. The new cost covers a slew of new features, however. For starters, the Equinox is about 2.5 inches wider than its 2024 predecessor, and with this increase in size comes a revamped interior that closely resembles that of the Blazer EV. After its visual overhaul, the Equinox now comes closer to resembling a downsized Traverse, a definite improvement on the exterior front.
Chevrolet provides two top level trims for the 2025 Equinox, the Activ and the RS, which both start at an MSRP of $33,000. The Activ and the RS are unique in the sense that, though they both share the honors of being the top trim of the Equinox, they each provide a uniquely tailored experience. The Activ is more finely tuned for offroading as opposed to the street oriented RS. Also available is the returning Equinox EV, which starts at an MSRP of $41,900
What specs does the 2025 Equinox have?
The 2025 Equinox brings back the 1.5 liter turbocharged inline four, which is standard across all gas-powered trims of the crossover. Front wheel drive is also standard, with an option for all wheel drive. The Front wheel drive option mates the turbocharger to a continuously variable automatic transmission, though the all wheel drive trim sports an 8 speed automatic transmission.
The Equinox also provides a combined MPG of about 26, with the EV having a range of 319 miles. As far as what comes recommended, Car and Driver advises that you consider the Activ and RS trims, with Edmunds highly rating the Activ’s off road capabilities. Edmunds also recommends the automatic transmission for the smoothest driving experience, but also notes that the CVT provides an enjoyable experience as well.
Summary
The 2025 Chevy Equinox improves on all fronts over the 2024 model, with the new generation providing buyers with a fine-tuned experience that really turns the 2025 Equinox into a viable option in its class.
