Eighty dollars! That’s how much more it takes to step into a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox LS if you missed out on the 2014 models. So what do those $80 get you?
One thing that shouldn’t be a surprise to long-time GM Authority readers is standard OnStar with 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot for improved connectivity − that’s a great feature that last year’s Equinox didn’t have. Other changes for 2015 are two new colors: Sea Grass Metallic and Blue Velvet Metallic.
All said, the base Equinox will run you $25,395, which includes an $875 destination charge. If you want the ritziest Equinox, the Equinox LTZ will run you $32,795 including destination, which is a price increase of $270. Standard motivation for both are a 182-horsepower 2.4L four, with a 301-horse 3.6L V6 being optional for the LT1, LT2, and LTZ. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all models.
Best of all, at this very moment you can pick up a 2015 Equinox at your local Chevrolet dealer.

This is the last of the second generation Equinox, so go and buy it. The third generation 2016 MY will be smaller, and have less interior space. The Equinox is a true gem in Chevy’s lineup, and is its third best selling vehicle after the Cruze and Silverado.
Well before you sell the farm here Ray you had better get a few things accurate.
Yes it is true the new one may be smaller on the outside I have seen it stated that the inside packaging will be made much more efficient and will offer more usable room and be similar in size.
Also the new model will be much lighter as the present model is over 4,000 pounds.
On the negative side I expect prices will continue to increase and the new model will not offer a V6. We will get a Turbo that will do well but no V6 is expected.
Now if you can get a good buy on one of these at the end of production I say go for it. These are great vehicles but they are showing their age and the new one will be the next hot seller in the market.
How do understand this vehicle well. I own a 2012 Terrain SLT2 now. I can tell you they can lose weight and repackage the interior much better as there is a lot of wasted space. Just look how much space the dash alone takes up from the cowl to the driver. The platform was converted for this use and the next one will be designed for much better use of space.
I also expect the Terrain to share more with the SRX vs. the Nox. The Buick and Nox will be more sisters this time. Just call that one a hunch.
