The Brand-New 2025 Chevrolet Equinox Unveiled with Multiple Improvements
January 24 2024,
The unveiling of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox marks a significant step forward in the evolution of Chevrolet’s popular SUV. With over 322,000 units sold in Canada, the Equinox has been a mainstay in Chevrolet's lineup. The latest model drives into the competitive SUV segment with an array of enhancements, including a striking new design, advanced technology, and increased capability.
Striking New Exterior Design
The 2025 Equinox debuts with a bold exterior design, drawing inspiration from the strong proportions of Chevrolet's truck lineup and the all-new 2024 Traverse. This generation features a broad-shouldered, athletic appearance that exudes confidence and versatility. The vehicle is nearly 2.3 inches wider than its predecessor, reinforcing a more planted stance. The exterior also includes three distinct front fascia treatments for the LT, ACTIV, and RS models, providing a range of visual options to cater to different preferences. The distinctive C-pillar shark fin and all-LED lighting further enhance the dynamic and modern look of the Equinox.
New ACTIV Trim
Chevrolet introduces the ACTIV trim with the 2025 Equinox, specifically designed for customers who seek adventure beyond the paved roads. This outdoor-inspired trim includes a unique front fascia, all-terrain tires, and an optional white roof for a stylish two-tone finish. The ACTIV trim also features rugged design elements like vertical grille inserts, blacked-out badging, and 17-inch machined-faced aluminum wheels, along with premium interior materials to match its adventurous spirit.
Revamped Interior
Inside, the 2025 Equinox boasts a revamped, contemporary interior that emphasizes technology and user experience. Drivers are greeted with an 11-inch-diagonal configurable driver information centre and an 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen, offering a modern and intuitive interface. The new electronic transmission range selector enhances the cabin's functionality, creating more storage space. The use of high-quality materials and coordinated textures throughout the seats, instrument panel, and doors elevates the overall ambiance of the interior.
More Space and Versatility
The 2025 Equinox is designed with space and versatility in mind. It features folding 60/40 split-bench second-row seats, enabling up to 1,798L of cargo space. This increase in storage capability, along with a hidden rear cargo floor storage space, makes the Equinox more practical and accommodating for various lifestyle needs. Whether it's for family trips, outdoor adventures, or daily errands, the Equinox offers ample room and flexibility.
A More Efficient and Powerful Turbo
The Equinox is powered by a more efficient and powerful 1.5L Turbo engine that delivers an estimated 175 horsepower. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive models or an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel drive. The introduction of driver-selectable modes, including Normal, Snow, and Off-Road for AWD models, adds to the SUV's dynamic driving experience, adapting the performance to suit different driving conditions.
New Technology in Safety and Connectivity
Safety and connectivity are at the forefront of the 2025 Equinox's design. It comes equipped with Chevrolet Safety Assist, a suite of features that includes Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist. Additional standard safety technologies enhance driver awareness and assistance. In terms of connectivity, the Equinox features OnStar connected services and Google built-in compatibility, providing a seamless and integrated experience for accessing maps, media, and other services.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox, set to be available for ordering in mid-2024, represents a new era for Chevrolet's SUV lineup. With its improved design, enhanced powertrain, increased space and versatility, and cutting-edge safety and connectivity features, the Equinox is poised to continue its legacy as a versatile and popular SUV choice. Further details, including pricing, will be released as the launch date approaches, adding to the anticipation for this exciting new model.
