The 2025 Chevy Equinox is based on the D2-2 architecture, an updated version of the GM D2 platform used by the third-gen Equinox. The 2025 Equinox also utilizes GM’s Global B electronic architecture for communication between components and systems, while also delivering the ability for over-the-air (OTA) updates to systems and components.
