As GM Authority previously reported, production of the 2024 Chevy Equinox was scheduled to kick off in the beginning of May 2023. Now, production of the third-generation compact crossover’s final model year has officially commenced.
Production of the 2024 Equinox kicked off this week, as the crossover is manufactured at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant and the GM San Luis Potosí plant, both located in Mexico.
The 2024 model year is available in four distinctive trim levels, ranging from bottom to top as LS, LT, RS, and Premier. Pricing for LS trim starts at $27,995, as well as $30,890 for LT trims, $32,345 for RS trims, and $33,195 for Premier trims. It’s worth noting that all these listed prices include a $1,395 destination freight charge.
Although largely a carryover from the 2023 model year, the 2024 Equinox is noted for its jump in price over the preceding model, as RS trims are $250 more expensive than equivalent 2023 Equinox units, and LT trims are $1,795 more expensive than equivalent 2023 model-year vehicles.
As justification for this MSRP increase, LT units now include the Confidence & Convenience Package (RPO code PCP), as well as the Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert Package (RPO code PDJ), as standard. Previously, these options were available for an extra $1,595 and $200, respectively.
Meanwhile, RS units are now equipped as standard with the Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert Package (RPO code PDJ).
In regard to powertrain, the new-for-2023 turbocharged 1.5L I4 LSD gasoline engine, rated at 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, stands as the only engine choice. FWD is standard, while AWD is optional.
Under the skin, the 2024 Equinox rides on the GM D2 platform. Production of the third-generation Equinox’s final model year will wind down at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in April 2024, and at the GM San Luis Potosí plant in October 2024. As a reminder, the 2025 Chevy Equinox will serve as the next-generation model of the Bow Tie crossover.

Need to bring back the 2.0 l engine then it will be a perfect c u v !!!
I agree! Why go smaller?
I also agree. We have a 2019 Premier with a 2.0T. Would really not like to go smaller.
What is the plan for the Equinox EV – When will it be available for Ordering and leasing ? This could offer a convenient ‘Crossove’ to the new Ultium battery and low cost EV’s, as the Bolt is discontinued. This SUV and the E-Blazer will be critical to Chevy’s EV future !
They need to worry about the damn production of the 2020-2023 models of the SUVs and trucks before making something else they can’t keep up with my damn 2021 trailblazer with only 29k miles on it has been in the shop for major issues 3 times for blown turbo at 18k miles and then cooling system at 29k miles now possible transmission and ac get it together GM fix your current issues before producing more issues you can’t keep up with I haven’t even owned this car a year
I’m pro-GM my whole life, but the major mechanical issues of the past decade or a bit more (Cruze cooling; Equinox oil consumption, turbo piston cracking, etc.) do seem to give credence to the old story that GM uses customers as testers instead of doing substantial pre-introduction testing, sigh. It never seems to change or improve.
GM quality is going down hill just like Ford..No wonder Toyoto and Kia are leaving GM and Ford on the dust..
Still waiting on the 2023 we ordered in February
Is ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION going to be included in the 2024 Equinox?
