Chevrolet Equinox sales decreased 1.6 percent to 78,014 units in the third quarter – somewhat concerning performance given the ongoing shift in consumer purchase dynamics that favors crossovers. So, in a potential effort to reverse declining Equinox sales, the Bow Tie brand introduced a rather attractive incentive offer for December 2018.
The Incentive
The nationwide Chevrolet incentive on the 2018 Equinox is $750 customer cash plus $2,000 bonus cash plus a cash allowance of $1,000 when one finances with GM Financial. The result is a $3,750 total cash allowance off MSRP.
This deal is applicable to all 2018 Chevy Equinox models except for L models. For reference, here are the applicable Equinox trim levels and their corresponding starting MSRPs:
- LSÂ (1LS) – $26,595
- LTÂ (2FL, 1LT, 2LT, 3LT) – $27,795
- Premier (1LZ, 2LZ, 3LZ) – $31,795
The Chevrolet incentive brings the starting price of the Equinox LS to $22,845, the Equinox LT to $24,045, and the range-topping Equinox Premier to $28,045.

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

Comments
With all of the savings that the plant closures and Model deletions will accumulate for GM, can we now please get some Class competitive interiors? Please GM.
GM prices their products like Kohl’s – ridiculously high MSRPs and then a fire sale discount to make people think they’re getting a great deal. The Equinox, like many GM products, is way overpriced, especially upper trims. On top of that, even Premier models are low-rent inside, so the trimmings don’t even come close to justifying the price.
Agreed. The materials used in the Nox, are almost a joke when compared to the competition.
I have been wanting to trade my 2016 Equinox on a 2019. BTW…….I have owned a 2010 NOX, and a 2013 GMC Terrain. I usually buy an LT because I like heated cloth seats. When I looked at the new NOX LT last fall, I noticed that the cloth seats are hard and cheap compared to my previous models. The new cloth seats would be appropriate in a base Jeep Wrangler………
In addition, where’s the switch to turn off the start-stop feature.
I looked at a few Premiers but at over $40K………..this isn’t a bargain.
The new TERRAIN has the ridiculous push button gear selector and the same cheap seats.
The rebates now just get the prices to where the MSRP should be. GM is just trying to bleed the last dollar out of it’s loyal customers.
Sadly, I have bought many, many GM vehicles but I may start looking at other vehicles with more value.
