The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox adds three new exterior colors to its palette: Midnight Blue Metallic, Chocolate Metallic, and Cayenne Orange Metallic. Here’s our first look at the new orange hue.
Availability
Assigned color code GLL and touch-up paint code WA-324E, Cayenne Orange Metallic stands out compared to the rest of the available color portfolio for the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox, which is comprised of eight neutral finishes and two bright colors. In fact, the only two bright exterior colors on the 2020 Equinox are Cayenne Orange Metallic and Cajun Red Metallic.
In fact, the Cayenne Orange color on the Equinox is identical to the same color offered on the 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV.
The new Cayenne Orange Metallic color is not included in the base price of the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. Instead, it costs an additional $395. It is available in conjunction with all interior color combinations, and is available with all trim levels except for base L models.
2020 Chevrolet Equinox Trim Levels:
- L (1SM)
- LS (1LS)
- LT (2FL, 1LT, 2LT)
- Premier (1LZ, 2LZ)
2020 Chevrolet Equinox Interior Color Combinations:
- Medium Ash Gray
- Jet Black
- Jet Black with Brandy
It’s worth noting that the addition of the Cayenne Orange Metallic hue is a common theme for the 2020 model year, as several Chevrolet vehicles have adopted the color – including the 2020 Bolt EV (see the 2020 Bolt in Cayenne Orange Metallic) as well as the 2020 Sonic (see the Sonic in Cayenne Orange Metallic).
Launch Timeframe
As of this writing, the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox can already be found at dealers, since the GM CAMI plant in Canada and the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico have been assembling and shipping the 2020 model to dealers in the latter half of the 2019 calendar year. Models in the Orange Cayenne Metallic exterior color are already on dealer lots. Availability varies by dealer, so check with yours for complete details.

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

Here is another, “EXTRA COST COLOR”. GM really doesn’t get it. People do not want to pay for, “EXTRA COST COLORS”.
Other manufacturers also charge extra for some colors, but not nearly as much as GM charges and not on as many colors. GM’s paint is nothing special, so this is really just price gouging for something as fundamental as paint.
“GM doesn’t get it”, yet sales and profits are up… and up… and up.
