Here’s When 2023 Chevy Equinox Production Will Start

Production of the 2023 Chevy Equinox will commence this August, GM Authority has learned.

GM dealers will no longer be able to place new sold orders for the 2022 model year Chevy Equinox as of June 23rd. Meanwhile, the final week of production for the 2022 Equinox will begin on August 19th.

The first week that dealers will be able to place new sold orders for the 2023 model year Chevy Equinox will be July 14th with the start of regular production (SORP) for the 2023MY set to commence on August 22nd.

Production of the Chevy Equinox takes place at the GM San Luis Potosí plant and the GM Ramos Arizpe plant, both located in Mexico. It was previously produced at the GM CAMI plant in Ontario, as well, however GM halted production of the nameplate there in April, with CAMI set to begin production of the BrightDrop Zevo 400 and Zevo 600 delivery vans later this year.

The new 2024 Chevy Equinox EV is set to go on sale next year, although it’s likely the regular Equinox and Equinox EV will be sold alongside each other for the time being. The Equinox EV is expected to be produced at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, becoming the automaker’s fifth electric vehicle manufacturing hub in North America after the GM Lake Orion and GM Factory Zero plants in Michigan, the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee and the GM CAMI plant in Canada.

GM has not released details on the changes and updates that will be applied to the Chevy Equinox for the 2023 model year. For 2022, the compact crossover received a mid-cycle enhancement, which was delayed from the 2021 model year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including revised exterior and interior styling and a long list of trim level and feature adjustments. The crossover also received a new Redline Edition for 2022, which includes Redline decals, painted Black 19-inch wheels with Red accents, Black window surround trim and Black Equinox badges with a Red outline, among other equipment.

Power in the 2022 Equinox comes from a turbocharged 1.5L I4 LYX gasoline engine rated at 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, along long with a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with all-wheel drive available as an optional extra.

  2. The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is very limited at gm dealers across the province of Ontario most dealers still waiting for 2022 sold units to land since beginning of the year now that the cut off date for the 2022 are near by and soon to be able 2023 equinox the wait is still a 3 to 6 month wait but production is getting better but my local gm dealer tells me there hoping the constraints won’t be put more delays on the 2023 model year as the consumer orders the 2023 model year its high unlikely if you order a vehicle today it won’t be a 2022 model year .There just isn’t enough inventory across dealers . The sales people have become order takers as my dealer tells me !

  8. Engineering components that Kill requires ingenuity and skill. If they aren’t ready, and perfectly designed to place blame on the public, it’s important to get it right. GM doesn’t need another scandal. These new components must Kill without leaving a trace.

    They will be ready soon.

  9. Enough can’t be said about a bigger engine option the 1.5 just doesn’t cut it . I didn’t buy a 2022 just because of that sluggish motor

    1. Me too. Went to Mazda for a choice of a 2.5 liter, with or without turbo.

    2. Did you drive the 1.5? I rented these with the 1.5 a couple of times, once for a full week. Drove fine. I’ve test-driven the 2.0, and it’s very fast. But for normal driving, the 1.5 seemed perfectly adequate. If you need AWD and normally carry a lot of people or stuff in hilly terrain, then yeah, the 1.5 might feel a bit weak. But honestly, the 1.5 felt peppy enough every time.

  10. Hmmm…if they are using the faulty engine in many previous years…be prepared to spend more money for oil consumption. Example>>> drive 130 miles add at least 2 quarts then repeat excessively!! It burns oil at an exceptional rate!!
    Bonus…you will never need to pay for an oil change because you will be adding so much!!
    The refreshing odor of gasoline will be a bonus feature of your equinox that is not mentioned from them!!
    And as a bonus…smoke willbe an added feature at no upgrade cost to you , the consumer!
    The fuel pump will need to be replaced shortly after hitting roughly 70,000miles as it will fail!!Added bonus!!
