Today, we go under the hood, behind the wheel, and look closely at everything else in between as we bring you a look at one of Chevy's most desirable offerings.

A common theme in many of Chevy's recent offerings is the ability to do more with less. This practice is commonplace in the SUV world, as many designs have gone from cumbersome and large with muscular engines that put forth incredible power to scaled-down models that offer a tactical means of transportation and engines that support economical fuel consumption. The 2025 Chevy Equinox is no different and has a powertrain equipped with the average consumer in mind.
All versions of the Chevy Equinox are equipped with a turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine with 175 hp at your disposal. A significant change for this model year regarding the Equinox concerns its transmission and drivetrain. As has been the case in prior years, FWD is standard and pairs with a CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission). This will undoubtedly be ideal for drivers seeking an economical way around town. A CVT's advantage is that its gear ratios vary depending on the situation, such as the stop-and-go patterns accompanying city driving.
Drivers interested in AWD, for either light off-roading or gaining extra traction when temperatures drop, will have another added advantage in the form of an eight-speed automatic transmission. Both options will replace the standard six-speed automatic that graced the previous version of the Equinox and demonstrate Chevy's ability to evolve and adapt.
The 2025 Chevy Equinox will also possess a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, making it ideal for light towing and carrying items such as ATVs and small trailers. Another aspect of the new Equinox that accentuates the vehicle's performance is a host of all-new driving modes equipped with FWD and AWD models. FWD versions of the Equinox will have Normal and Snow driving modes, and AWD drive will have these, plus an additional Off-Road driving mode to make those brief trips on the path less traveled facilitated easier. These driving modes will be standard on the RS and ACTIV trims and will be prominent in adjusting throttle and engine performance to accommodate safe and efficient travel.
An updated exterior design that satisfies our penchant for style is a noticeable difference from the Equinox for the new model year. Like the Chevy Blazer, the Equinox now has a two-toned color scheme and a new front grille, giving it a facelift that appeals to the senses and allows the latest model year to begin on a high note. The exterior of the 2025 Equinox aside, there's even more to get excited about when one gets behind the wheel.
The interior of the Equinox has been redesigned to appeal to our love of contemporary aesthetics. Yet, Chevy has found a way to embrace a more sophisticated approach that was absent in previous years. Aside from a more pleasing interior design featuring Camaro-esque HVAC vents and more refined materials, Equinox's new infotainment setup rivals most competitors in its scale and the features it provides access to.
The new infotainment screen that graces the interior of the Equinox measures out past eleven inches. More extensive than most standard screens in its class, the latest infotainment setup provides access to many different features, including compatibility with Apple and Android products and integration with Google. This offers a compressive music library and access to Google Maps, one of the leading navigation methods. Entertainment can be enjoyed at an adequate level of volume, courtesy of a standard six-speaker stereo system. Drivers can also upgrade to available wireless charging for their phones.
Aside from the new interior layout and the generously sized infotainment screen, which provides a tech-savvy experience, plenty makes the Equinox a practical and efficient means of transportation. The Equinox offers seating for five, and because of the new interior design, everyone can stretch out their legs and be as comfortable as they want. Over 63 available cu.ft. of cargo room can be accessed for moments, requiring increased storage capacity. Chevy has also included an additional hidden room in the rear to provide a place for items to be out of sight and out of mind.
It's no secret that most people purchasing SUVs are family-oriented drivers. Even if you're just looking for an adequate means of transportation to get around, safety should always be a top priority. In an age where some manufacturers are keeping the latest technology confined to high-priced trims, Chevy has taken the initiative to make more of these features standard to allow drivers everywhere to have the peace of mind they're entitled to when they're on the road.
Like many of the vehicles that Chevy manufactures, a comprehensive suite of standard features is included in the 2025 Chevy Equinox, known as Chevy Safety Assist, which provides Automatic Emergency Braking and a Forward Collision Alert, essential in preserving the necessary reaction time in the case of a potential collision. Other features included with Chevy Safety Assist include Front Pedestrian and Cyclist Braking, ensuring that the people with whom we share the road stay just as safe. A Following Distance Indicator is another tool that promotes reaction time by ensuring that there's plenty of space between us and the other vehicles in front.
In addition to the features included in Chevy Safety Assist, the 2025 model year includes much more, illustrating Chevy's tireless dedication to providing its drivers with the necessary peace of mind whenever they're on the road. Among the new features that are now standard for the 2025 model year are Enhanced Lane Keep Assist, Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, and a Rear Vision Camera to provide additional oversight.
One of the most anticipated changes for the Equinox in 2025 is the inclusion of standard Adaptive Cruise Control for the first time in the SUV's history. Adaptive cruise control monitors traffic patterns during stretches of highway driving and adjusts the Equinox's speed to maintain a safe distance. This saves reaction time, which is essential when traveling at speeds above 55 mph.
Just when it seemed that the Chevy Equinox couldn't get any better than it already is, a new model year and a fresh new redesign illustrate the continuing effort from Chevy to be a brand that offers the modern driver everything they could ask for. With a powertrain built for economy and two different transmissions that correspond with either FWD or AWD, plus a host of all-new driving modes, the commute has never seemed more enticing than it is now. Chevy's willingness to make more features standard than ever before and the host of new tech features, including an all-new infotainment screen, elevate the Chevy Equinox to new heights of excitement and capability. The 2025 model year will have many SUVs but only one Equinox.
