Chevrolet’s redesigned 2025 Equinox is a smart-looking compact SUV that competes well with rivals like the Hyundai Tucson and best-selling Toyota RAV4. It’s also an attractive alternative to gasoline-powered models, with a comfortable cabin and capable driving experience.
Our Go City Chevy equinox front-wheel-drive test car started at $28,600. This included 17-inch wheels, cloth upholstery and heated front seats. It also had a 11.3-inch infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, and dual-zone automatic climate control. An optional hands-free power liftgate, wireless device charging and a Wi-Fi hot spot added to the list of standard features. A more rugged Activ trim with all-terrain tires and off-road capability can be had for $33,000.

The Equinox’s rear cargo hold can haul 29.8 cubic feet of gear, which is more than enough for most shoppers. With the back seat folded, that expands to 63.5 cubic feet. It’s one of the most roomy holds in this class, although competitors like the Honda CR-V offer even more space with the second row stowed.
A quiet, efficient and smooth 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers the Equinox. It’s free of hesitation in everyday driving and gets 25 mpg on our fuel economy tests. The Equinox’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is a bit choppy in some driving situations, but it works well most of the time.
