It’s the start of the fourth generation, and Chevy has done its homework on what consumers want while staying true to the overall feel and practicality that is so loved by Chevy drivers. We’ve put together this list of all the new features and specs included in the new 2025 Chevy Equinox. So get excited and join us as we take a look at what makes this upcoming model year so different from past models!
New Exterior
The very first thing that anyone notices when they take a look at the new 2025 Chevy Equinox is the fact that it’s had a makeover. You can still tell that it’s an Equinox, but the entire exterior has been pumped up and squared off, giving the SUV a more robust and modern look and feel. The front of the 2025 Equinox features a new grille design as well as headlights that have seen a complete update. Instead of a horizontal placement, the updated headlight housing runs vertically to give a more prominent look. A redesigned bumper and new taillights give the rear a refreshed look as well.
This generation of Equinox offers a palette of new body colors, including available two-tone options, allowing drivers to truly make it their own. Whether you're a nature lover who prefers Cacti Green or you're drawn to the elegance of Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, there's a hue to suit every style. The addition of Radiant Red Tintcoat, Sterling Gray Metallic, Reef Metallic, and Lakeshore Blue Metallic ensures that every Northampton driver can find their perfect match.
The RS trim features a look all of its own as well. You’ll find exciting design elements like blacked-out emblems, a unique fascia, roof rails, and 19-inch machined wheels that help it stand out in a crowd. Overall, Chevy has poured some design hours into making this latest generation of the Equinox exude an exciting and robust aura. It can most certainly compete for looks with the most stylish lineup in the SUV market with its new and contemporary exterior design.
New Interior
Inside the 2025 Chevy Equinox, you’ll find an interior decked out with plush, soft-touch surfaces and comfortable seating. There is plenty of room to stretch out and even more space to store your luggage and belongings in the back. Perhaps the most noticeable change to the interior design of the 2025 Chevy Equinox is the expansion of the digital display screen!
In prior years, the standard screen measured seven inches, and the optional screen came in at eight inches. Now, every Equinox will come equipped with a massive 11.3-inch infotainment display standard. There’s no need to upgrade to a higher trim level to get it! This larger display will make it easier to navigate through your entertainment and navigation apps while on the road. You even get wireless connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to take your convenience up a notch!ACTIV Trim
The trim levels of this generation of Chevy Equinox have changed. Gone are the LS and Premier trims (the former top and bottom levels). Instead, there are three trim levels to choose from. These include the returning LT and RS trims, which drivers are accustomed to, and one new level, the ACTIV. This trim has us excited! This is because of the bold new look and features the ACTIV trim brings to this much-loved model from Chevy.
Anyone who uses the Equinox as their key to outdoor adventure should definitely consider the ACTIV trim to fit in with nature. This new trim is available in the new Cacti Green body color and has an optional two-tone white roof. It creates a distinctive look that isn’t quite like any other compact SUV and really sets it apart in a crowd. Other design elements include a special front fascia, as well as special badging for a crisp and distinct look. On the inside, drivers will be pleased to find super comfortable and stylish Evotex and suede microfiber seating surfaces with "ACTIV" stitched on the front head restraints for an added bit of flair.
While this trim level is predominantly an aesthetic upgrade, there are some practical advantages as well. For added functionality and a nod to the design’s target audience, the ACTIV trim comes equipped with heated front seats and a steering wheel to keep drivers warm even when they’re off in the country driving around during a Northampton winter. The ACTIV also comes with all-terrain tires so that drivers can traverse wherever their heart desires without worrying about traction.
Mechanical Updates
All 2025 Chevy Equinox trims come equipped with the same engine option as the 2024 model. This is an efficient 1.5L turbocharged I-4 engine that cranks out 175 hp and up to 203 lb-ft of torque. What has changed on all trim levels is the transmission. This generation of the Chevy Equinox has made the switch from a traditional six-speed automatic to the choice of CVT with front-wheel drive or an eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive.
The new CVT option is set to improve the efficiency of the Equinox with seamless acceleration without needing to shift gears. Owners with this transmission will notice a smoother ride and a more comfortable driving experience. Drivers who choose the new eight-speed automatic transmission will feel the traditional driving shift while accelerating, but the shift will be smoother than the old six-speed transmission since there are more gears. This is an excellent balance of capability and helps deliver the tailored driving experience drivers are looking for.
