The GM Authority Take
Despite showing its age during its seventh year on the market, sales of the current second-generation Chevy Equinox remained strong in December while being down for the calendar year. We believe the impressive December sales figures were caused by the following two factors:
- A market shift to crossover utility vehicles from sedans, and
- Healthy model-specific incentives on the Equinox to close out the year
Meanwhile, a completely overhauled, 2018 Chevy Equinox is scheduled to launch in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2017. The vehicle features an all-new powertrain lineup while riding on an all-new architecture (GM’s D2 platform) that enables it to shed over 400 pounds in weight, contributing to improved fuel economy. The crossover also gets all-new sheetmetal and an all-new interior, and is also slightly smaller inside and out compared to the current model.

I have a Gen 1 Equinox (2005-2009) and it is almost perfect with great cargo capacity and the best rear legroom. As GM’s second best selling vehicle, I expect the Gen 3 Equinox to continue as a great selling CUV. But GM can do it better if a EREV Equinox is offered for 2018, too.
