Chevrolet Equinox sales increased 26 percent to 98,239 units in the fourth quarter of 2018, results in line with current market trends that strongly favor SUVs and crossovers. And now, in an effort to gain conquest sales, a new Chevrolet discount reduces the price of most 2019 Equinox models by 21 percent for owners of competitive vehicles, which is as much as $8,390 in some cases.
Incentives
Nationwide Chevrolet discounts on the Equinox for March 2019 are as follows:
- 2018 Equinox excluding L models: $1,000 cash allowance + $1,000 customer cash = $2,000 total cash allowance when financing with GM Financial
- 2018 Equinox excluding L models: $1,000 APR cash + 0 percent APR for 72 months when financing with GM Financial
- 2019 Equinox excluding L models: $500 APR cash + 0 percent APR for 72 months when financing with GM Financial
- 2019 Equinox excluding L models: $1,000 cash allowance + $750 customer cash = $1,750 total cash allowance when financing with GM Financial
- 2019 Equinox: 21 percent below MSRP for current competitive owners when financing with GM Financial
- What is meant by “current competitive owners” is currently unclear, but we imagine that it applies to owners of models competing with the Equinox (or generally non-GM products)
For reference, here are the applicable 2018 and 2019 Equinox trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:
2019 Equinox:
- LÂ – $24,995

2018 Equinox:

Chevy gives the following example of the 21 percent discount as it applies to a 2019 Equinox Premier model with an MSRP of $39,955, which brings the price way down to $31,565. Meanwhile, the $2,000 discount brings the starting price of the 2018 Equinox LS to $24,595.

About Chevrolet Equinox
The Chevrolet Equinox is a compact crossover. It slots above the Chevrolet Trax and below the Chevrolet Traverse. It will also be positioned below the rumored to be the future Chevrolet Blazer. The first-generation Equinox ran from the 2005-2009 model years and was based on the first-generation Theta platform. The second-generation Equinox was offered from the 2010-2017 model years and was based on the Theta 2 platform. Both the first- and second-generation models were "tweeners", in that they straddled the compact and midsize CUV segments in size. The third-generation model was introduced for the 2018 model year. It rides on the GM D2 platform shared with the second-generation GMC Terrain, Chevrolet Cruze, and Chevrolet Volt and, unlike its two predecessors, is positioned squarely in the compact segment.
The third-generation, 2018 and newer Equinox features an all-new exterior and interior, while being slightly smaller inside and out compared to the outgoing model. It also offers an all-new engine lineup and an all-new lightweight architecture that enables a weight savings of over 400 pounds compared to the second-gen model. As a result, the new Equinox gets better fuel economy while also delivering improvements in ride, handling, packaging, and safety.
The Equinox is assembled at the following GM plants:
- GM CAMI plant in Ontario, Canada operated by GM Canada
- GM Ramos plant in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico operated by GM Mexico
- Wuhan II plant in Hubei, China operated by Shanghai-GM

Might further explain why Miss Mary “Machete” Barra is all camera shy these days. The media queen is quiet.
Things just keep getting worse for GM.

Actually it’s a good sign.
1. The small crossover segment is still growing. Selling more Equinoxes will result in GM needing to bring in more Canadian autoworkers into Ingersol. Reducing the impact of the Oshawa shut down.
2. These are retail sales. Vehicles that aren’t going to rental fleets.
3. With sedan sales in free fall, the Japanese brands really want to take over the small crossover segment. It’s good to see GM not give it up without a fight .
Yep another CUV home run.
Just shows more how car sales are dying and GM is doing the right thing moving on.
Cutting models is difficult but sometimes you need to sacrifice a finger to preserve the hand.
Scott3,
Can you tell me how many sedan sales Toyota, Honda, and Tesla had last year ?
Asking for a friend.
You just keep telling yourself no one wants a sedan any longer, and that GM does nothing but great things.
Wonder how GM sales, and market share is going ? I’m sure its great.
After all look at that stock. Ha, Ha, Ha.
Overall, ALL vehicles “ON THE ROAD TODAY”, give me a percentage of sedan/hatch, VS, SUV ? BET YOU CAN’T DO IT.
Take a road trip from coast to coast keep track on that little note pad.
Sure looks like ALOT of cars on the road.
Sure I’ll give you their not GM cars, but a lot of cars.
GM doing the right thing, moving on.
That’s all GM knows how to do, MOVE ON.
Sometimes GM, moves on, before they even do anything.
That didn’t work — move on.
GM is great.
GM customer service is great.
Long live GM.
“Can you tell me how many sedan sales Toyota, Honda, and Tesla had last year ?”
Can you tell me how much sedan sales for Toyota and Honda dropped from the year before? How much they’re projected to drop according to market analysts?
Toyota Camry: Down 11.3% in 2018
Toyota Corolla: Down 7.74% in 2018
Honda Accord: Down 9.8% in 2018
Honda Civic: Down 13.66% in 2018
Hyundai Sonata: Down 20.25% in 2018
Subaru Legacy: Down 19.5% in 2018
Nissan Altima: Down 18% in 2018
These ugly sales are despite the Camry and Accord being totally new designs, with lots of money spent on their updates.
By 2020, midsize sedan sales will be half of what they were in 2014 when sedan sales peaked. By 2021, sedan sales are predicted to be 1/3’rd of what they were in 2014. Who would stay in a market collapsing so fast? Who would buy a large or even midsize sedan when you can get similar fuel economy out of a modern midsize crossover that gets similar fuel economy? Not many. I’m surprised GM is sticking it out with the sedans they haven’t killed off. Unlike Ford and FCA, GM is at least still active in some sedan markets.
You see Brick, still no numbers.
Where are the numbers ?
Now I know full and well that sales of sedans have reaches there peek.
I also could care less about percentage numbers.
If we are talking percentage gain on money I like to see percentage, but even then I need to know how much money we are talking. Without the numbers its just marketing.
When GM sells 100 trucks and then says sales were only down 20%. That’s only 80 sold. If next quarter there down another 20%. That’s 65 sold. At $12,000.00 profit that’s $420,000.00 loss.
Keep watching those %%%%%’s !!
However the sedan market is different.
If there are 1.5 MILLION sedans/cars sold and that number drops 20% you are still left with 1.2 MILLION.
NUMBERS.
Its is my belief that the reason sedan sales have fallen is do to the FACT that the ones being sold in high numbers are just that good. When you take the top three sedan sellers and look at the average miles on the road its unreal. ( I’m not talking GM sedan miles on the road ) I’m talking Toyota, Honda, VW. When the overall market is at its brink of needing a car/sedan, they buy one. But if there is a shift in wealth or they seem to be going to be in some money, people buy regardless, just to have the new stuff or prepare for the downturn.
With the foreign sedans lasting as good as they do the overall average sedan/car buyer will only purchase a vehicle every 12 – 18 years. So if the peek market was around 2013 to 2014 I would guess that sedan sales will be on the upswing in 2027 – 2028 – 2029.
I believe truck sales are in the same cycle only later, so here we are with truck sales.
Sure the gas/fuel price and overall market, or laws come into play here, but without outside influence its just the life of an overall product.
NUMBERS not percentages will win this battle. 100% increase in sales sounds great unless you only sell 1.
But this is a GM lovers take.
All sedan sales percentages are down so GM is great for getting out of that market because GM makes more profit on trucks.
But when GM truck sales are loosing percentage market share, don’t worry its all going as planned.
Look at Cadillac, they have been loosing market share for years. Of coarse in a GM lovers eyes doing the right thing.
Well this GM lover had enough. Not over plants closing, bankruptcy, or design likes or dislikes. Over a $16.00 part I had to pay for twice and get yelled at by a GM employee over it . BUT when I replaced the part with a second new one everything worked fine. You buy a $70,000.00 GM vehicle and get yelled at over a $16.00 part. GM has ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE and then top it off with poor treatment. Ha what a deal.
Long live GM
