The upcoming 2022 Chevy Equinox is poised to delete four paint options from the lineup.
The four paint options in question are (relevant paint codes listed in parentheses):
- Pacific Blue Metallic (G6O)
- Nightfall Gray Metallic (G7Q)
- Midnight Blue Metallic (GLU)
- Cajun Red Tintcoat (GPJ)
Pacific Blue Metallic (G6O)
Nightfall Gray Metallic (G7Q)
Midnight Blue Metallic (GLU)
Cajun Red Tintcoat (GPJ)
To note, Pacific Blue and Cajun Red were not available on the base-level L trim or the LS trim level during the 2021 model year. Meanwhile, Midnight Blue and Nightfall Gray were not available on the base-level L trim level for the 2021 model year.
As GM Authority covered previously, Pacific Blue Metallic was made unavailable on the 2021 Chevy Equinox in February, and will not return for the 2022 model year. Production of 2021 Chevy Equinox models in Pacific Blue Metallic paint ended March 22nd, while production of 2021 Chevy Equinox models in Nightfall Gray Metallic ended March 31st, and production of 2021 Chevy Equinox models in Cajun Red Tintcoat ended April 12th.
Looking ahead the 2022 Chevy Equinox will add four new exterior paint options, including (relevant paint codes listed in parentheses):
- Blue Glow Metallic (GHT)
- Seaglass Blue Metallic (GHZ)
- Cherry Red Tintcoat (GSK)
- Iron Gray Metallic (GIV)
Additionally, the new 2022 Chevy Equinox is set to drop the base-level L trim from the lineup, as well as three appearance packages, including the Midnight Edition, Sport Edition, and Redline Edition.
The 2022 Chevy Equinox will introduce a mid-cycle refresh for the nameplate, which was originally set to debut with the 2021 model year. However, as a result of complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the model refresh was delayed to the 2022 model year instead.
Further updates will include exterior styling changes. Under the hood, the 2022 Chevy Equinox will continue to offer the turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine as the exclusive powerplant option. Output is rated at 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque.

No appearance packages. No upgraded engine. The Equinox is becoming a bland lineup of barely competitive vehicles. Look for it to come in last place in the next road test comparison test (unless a 3 cyl Escape is included).
We purchased a 2020 Equinox with the Pacific Blue Metallic (G6O) color. I see this color all over the road one of the best blues that GM ever offered. So take away what the customer wants. Typical GM lately.
That’s why this chip shortage is so delightful to watch.
Hitting GM where it hurts most (profits) is the only way to teach them a hard lesson.
They either wise up or file chapter 7.
Coming from a paint background, I can say that things like color deletions aren’t always the builder’s idea. Blame the raw material suppliers. If a quarry in Canada says the Cobalt Blue Mica has run out (Example), then that finished color has to be discontinued.
You can paint it any color you want but without a proper power plant I am not interested.
Yes colours choices are not a issue getting rid of 2.0 l engine power plant that’s a issue for me I’m out !! I purchase a import they give me what I want for my taste pallet.
Never heard of Nightfall Blue for the Equinox. I knew there was a Nightfall Gray. Is the blue a secret color option?
Indeed, it is Nightfall Gray Metallic and we have updated the article. Thank you for bringing this error to our attention.
You are correct; its Nightfall Gray, not blue
It seems all the news here is what GM is taking away from equinox buyers. not what
will bring us to the dealership having to have this suv. I’m sure Honda and Toyota love
This page they say GM isn’t even trying 2021 and 22 are going to be great years for those
