The GM Authority Take
The current, second-generation Chevrolet Equinox was introduced in 2010, making 2017 its eighth year on the market with relatively few changes. This circumstance translates to it being the oldest vehicle in its segment, which makes its current sales performance in the highly-competitive CUV space very astonishing.
As in September, we believe that the dip in October Equinox deliveries stems from the following two factors:
- GM North America’s focus to decrease higher-volume less profitable fleet sales in favor of lower-volume yet more profitable retail sales
- The market favoring more modern crossovers in the Equinox’s competitive set
Opportunely, an all-new, third-generation Equinox is on its way. Set to go on sale in the spring of 2017, the 2018 Chevy Equinox rides on an all-new architecture (GM’s D2 platform), features an all-new exterior and interior, and is more fuel-efficient. The crossover also sheds quite a bit of weight thanks to its new platform while also becoming the only vehicle in its class to offer a turbo-diesel engine.
As such, we believe that the introduction of the next-gen, 2018 Chevy Equinox should result in a rebound of Equinox sales volumes.

Also Spring Hill is no longer manufacturing the Equinox overflow so there is that lost production. CAMI and Oshawa are still working overtime
Completely expected.
This is a 6 year old product in a segment full of newbies.
They will get a much needed boost when they new ‘Nox comes out next year.
Actually 8 yrs old (2010 – 2017). It’s doing very well considering the age of design.
Duely noted. Thanks.
Well most people are now going to wait for the new one since it was shown.
Also the option packages have been limited compared to before. If I recall you can only get V6 FWD on the Terrain etc.
Even if Equinox sales dropped, it is still the second best selling GM vehicle for many years! Only the Chevy Silverado sells more. By 2018, the Equinox will increase sales again. I wish GM will comply many requests to produce a hybrid or EREV Equinox, too, for 2018.
I own a 2009 Equinox and I love it!
