The 2025 Chevy Equinox offers great mileage and easy handling, making it a solid ride for daily drives, road trips, and getaways. Its three-trim lineup gives you options to match your driving style and budget. Let’s see which of the trims is your perfect fit.

LT
For a base model, the LT is well-equipped with roomy seating and premium amenities. The seats are upholstered in quality cloth, and you’ll get heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and manual climate control. Up front, there’s a customizable 11-inch gauge cluster and a matching 11.3-inch center display with built-in Google apps and wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The LT also offers a Wi-Fi hotspot, a six-speaker stereo, and USB ports in both rows.
The LT features a 175-horsepower 1.5L turbo engine with two transmission options. The FWD model is paired with a CVT, achieving an incredible mileage rating of 26 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. With AWD, power goes through an eight-speed automatic, giving you 24 mpg around town and 29 mpg on the highway. Driver-assist technologies include forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic braking, and a backup camera.
RS
The RS features an AutoSense power liftgate that opens automatically when it senses the key fob near the rear of the vehicle, making it easier to load up the trunk. It looks stylish with roof rails, gloss black touches, and 19-inch wheels in place of the standard 17-inch alloys. Heated mirrors and rain-sensing wipers make driving less stressful in bad weather. If a striking exterior is more your vibe, the RS is available with two-tone color combinations.
The cabin feels sporty with a heated and wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. Other upgrades include leatherette seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar control, and wireless charging. The optional Convenience Package III dials up the comfort with ventilated front seats, an 8-way power passenger seat, and heated rear seats. This model is available with a sunroof and a rear camera mirror that cuts past the blind spots for a clearer rear view.
ACTIV
If you’re after a versatile Equinox that shines in the city and off the road, the ACTIV model should be your pick. It’s fitted with 17-inch wheels and all-terrain tires that improve handling on rough roads. It comes with roof rails, rain-sensing wipers, and a hands-free liftgate, with fog lights and two-tone color options also available. Inside, the ACTIV offers sueded microfiber seats and mirrors the RS in standard and available features.
