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

It is nice that GM is coming out with some new colors. Look in any parking lot and what do you see? “There is a sort of red car over there, and back there is a reddish SUV, but the rest of the cars are white, black or 50 shades of grey.” All car makers are guilty of this really dull selection of colors. We get to select a vehicle that will brighten things up, but we have to pay a premium for a decent-looking color.
This needs to be on the Traverse’s color wheel. No blue for the big wagon is a mistake.
This color is no extra cost, and has been selling like crazy on our 19 Equinox’s. It looks great in person.
GM has gotten ridiculously greedy with extra-cost paint colors. And in general, GM has a very bland selection of colors across all brands. Ford, FCA, Honda and Toyota all offer rich, bold, sparkly metallics usually at no extra cost.
Pacific Blue is the best color GM has offered in years and I’m stunned they aren’t charging extra for it! Yet 😉
Chevy should consider developing a Equinox SS especially if they’re joining Ford in getting out of the car business and concentrating their efforts in CUVs which means more performance and off-road capability.
Wait, you forgot to mention that they should put the supercharged 6.2L V-8 LT4 in it, too.
All jokes aside, there is a high-performance Equinox seemingly on the way:

Just purchased a Pacific Blue Equinox. It is beautiful and we have been receiving compliments wherever we travel.
I just bought a Pacific Blue Equinox 2 days ago and I love the color as it changes in the sunlight. Beautiful shade of blue, reminds me of the ocean, which I also love. I have bought white Chevrolets for the past 20 plus years and needed a change. Thank you GM for offering a gorgeous, happy color. Love it.
How do I find the Chevrolet Equinox in the Pacific Blue Metallic color in the area where I live? I live in the Boise, Idaho area.
