Production of the Chevy Equinox crossover will not restart at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico until November 22nd.
The crossover was previously set to re-enter production at the Mexican plant on Novemebr 1st, as GM Authority reported previously, however the restart date has now been pushed back to the 22nd of the month. The nameplate is still set to restart production at the CAMI plant in Canada and San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico on November 1st.
While Chevy Equinox production will not restart at Ramos Arizpe until later in the month, a single shift for Chevy Blazer production will still begin there on October 18th, as previously outlined by GM.
These plant shutdowns are related to a shortage of semiconductor chips. GM has introduced a policy of prioritizing popular and profit-heavy models amid the global chip shortage, such as the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups and full-size SUVs like the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon.
The Ramos Arizpe plant will begin production of the 2022 model year Chevy Equinox on November 1st. This represents the first year for the mid-cycle enhancement (MCE) version of the crossover, which introduces revised exterior styling, a mildly updated cabin and new technology like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It will continue to offer the same powertrain, which consists of a turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine, rated at 170 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 203 pound-feet of torque at 2,000 rpm, along with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front wheel drive comes standard on both vehicles, with all-wheel-drive available as an optional extra.
Pricing for the 2022 Chevy Equinox starts at $26,995 including destination and freight charges for an entry-level LT trim model equipped with front-wheel-drive. All-wheel-drive can be added to any model for a $1,100 price premium.

Didn’t they just end their strike. Now no money till Jan. they know that all the autos builder shut down in Dec. till Jan. For the holidays so they don’t build drunk cars with parts missing.. It’s been that way since the early 2000’s
Lol
I knew it like I said September turned into October and now November I’m sure December is looking good just close to Xmas and open January 2022 and do it all over again !!! Oh GM time to buy an import the waiting is less painful
I wonder if the Terain is next?
Yes 100% guaranteed that seems to be routine and the equinox is the cousin of the terrain I want to purchase a terrain Denali but dealer don’t have a production date or estimated time just saying anywhere from 3-6 month but cannot commit to anything everything is up in the air because of on going micro chip issue!!! So really who knows the future
Have a ’22 Terrain Denali on order since early June. On our way out the door, I said “see you in six to eight” I meant weeks not months. Lol
That’s why I held back dont want to wait 6 month even longer and used one is way over priced I think
Yes they are, I’m fortunate to have GM employee discount so buying something used less than two years old is not beneficial to me
Todd I wish I had gm employee discount but unfortunately I don’t a 2022 Terrain loaded Denali is about 45ish Canadian dollars I know there not much gross on these vehicle that why gm is concentrating on the bigger vehicles more profit in them and that why gm is taking for ever to built the equinox and terrain just put on the back burner and the can gets kick down the road until next month
From Canada also, loaded Denali $39,300.00 after GM discount.
Unfortunately I can not get that price if I’m lucky I can get a 1500-2000 discount depends how good of negotiation I do but highly unlikely since everything is pre sold there would be no reason to discount that much they might discount $500 and a lower finance rate
