Expectations
The 2025 Chevy Equinox will be completely overhauled, bringing an all-new, fourth generation model to market. Here’s what we expect from the all-new, 2025 Equinox.
Model Line
- Addition of off-road-oriented trim, dubbed Activ or Z71 – as first reported by GM Authority
Exterior
- Complete overhaul of exterior
- Overall size and footprint to remain similar to current, third-gen Equinox
- More expressive design, with a more pronounced and upright shape for the greenhouse
- More prominent execution of the two-tier “highbrow” headlight treatment than current model, similar to Chevy Blazer and Chevy Traverse, with thin upper running lights
- Horizontally-oriented tail lights with Chevy’s rear lighting signature
- Dual exhaust
- Knobby, off-road-oriented General Grabber AT tires on Activ/Z71 trim level, as first reported by GM Authority
- More expressive wheel designs across all models, particularly RS and Activ/Z71
Interior
- Complete overhaul of interior, with better ergonomics and more usable space
- Revamped gauge cluster (instrument panel), with higher-end trims receiving a fully digital instrument panel
- Revamped infotainment system with a larger screen and revamped software
- New and improved active safety (ADAS) features, such as Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway assistant
- New steering wheel
- New colors and materials, especially noticeable on Activ/Z71 trim
Mechanical
- The 2025 Chevy Equinox will be based on the D2-2 architecture, an updated version of the GM D2 platform used by the third-gen Equinox
- The same platform will be used by the 2025 GMC Terrain
- Powered by a new, small-displacement turbocharged engine mated to GM’s 9-speed automatic transmission
- Standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) and optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) on most models
- Activ/Z71 trim might feature AWD as standard
- Adoption of GM’s Global B electronic architecture, allowing over-the-air (OTA) updates to systems and components
Production & Availability
- We expect the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox to be produced at the GM San Luis Potosi plant in Mexico
- Production is expected to begin in mid-2024, with the first units beginning to arrive in the second half of 2024
