![]() Unless you’re a fan of buying American (the Equinox for North America is built in either Mexico or Canada) or looking for a compact crossover that’s American in flavor, there’s little to separate it from the outrageously compelling foreign rivals. A fully loaded AWD Premier checks all the boxes-$1,495 panoramic moonroof, $1,745 Convenience package and $1,125 Infotainment II package-totaling $38,860.īecause it took inspiration and engineering advice from its European divisions, the Equinox remains somewhat relevant, thanks to its solid bones and the inclusion of today’s modern driver aids and safety tech that all still perform admirably. The base front-wheel-drive LS stamps its invoice at $27,995, including the mandatory $1,395 shipping charge. Previously, the Equinox came with a more powerful 2.0-liter turbo four and an excellently fuel-efficient diesel. Although it’s merely adequate at moving the small ute out of its own way, it quickly loses steam once momentum builds. Sadly, through its revisions, all upgradable engine choices disappeared, leaving the base 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder as the only powertrain driving either the front- or all-four wheel. With commendable road manners, lots of passenger space, comfort and relevant safety tech, the Chevy Equinox is a steady bet in the crowded compact crossover space. There’s also the Nissan Rogue, Mazda CX-5, fan-favorite Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson and fellow domestic SUV, the Ford Escape. Such examples include a new Honda CR-V and the hugely compelling and new Kia Sportage, which are the newest kids on the block. Though because it’s turning six years old, it’s certainly beginning to feel a bit last-generation as newer, fresher, and more value-packed options-particularly from across the pond-hit the market over the past several years. An all-electric version is set to introduce the lineup sometime in 2024. The Equinox is scheduled for replacement by an all-new fourth-generation model. For 2023, all Equinox’s go up in price by around $300 across the board while the color palettes gain some new choices, and an updated electrically power-assisted braking system. After discontinuing the barebones L model as part of the refresh, the LS, LT, RS and Premier trims soldier on with few changes. In 2022, the Equinox received a mid-cycle update, which included updated exterior styling cues, revised trim levels and packaging. It entered the market in 2005 as Chevy’s entry into one of the hottest and most popular segments, only to become the company’s best-selling model behind the Silverado full-size pickup.
