The 2025 Equinox: Chevy’s Latest Overhauled SUV

Chevrolet is preparing its newest Equinox, making it the latest Chevy SUV to receive a makeover. In the past two years, every Chevy crossover and SUV – including the Trax, Blazer, Trailblazer, and Traverse – is either new or has received a redesign. With the 2025 Equinox, Chevy’s SUV vision comes to full fruition.

The SUV segment is currently the largest and most competitive segment in the country. To compete, you need to stand out – and the Equinox’s bold new look and thoroughly revamped cabin demands every eyeball.

We should receive the 2025 Equinox by the end of the year here at Healdsburg Chevrolet. In the meantime, here’s what we can expect from the fourth generation SUV.

A Rugged New Exterior… 

Contrast the 2025 Equinox with, say, the 2020 model, and its evolution over the past half-decade is apparent. What was once a rounder, more conventional SUV has been inspired by the sharp body lines of both the Chevy truck lineup and the 2024 Traverse. 2.3 inches wider than the 2024 model, the 2025 Equinox has undergone muscular refinement – like a professional athlete bulking up during the off-season.

The compact SUV will come available in three distinct trims: LT, RS and ACTIV. Its bold new contours pair amicably with striking, all-LED light elements. The Equinox will run on a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 horsepower. It’s backed by a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive configurations, or an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel-drive.

…With a Tech-Heavy Interior

Like its upgraded SUV and crossover brethren, the new Equinox has been redesigned as a tech-focused driving experience. Its new 11.3-inch, diagonal infotainment screen is more than 30% larger than the Equinox’s largest, earlier screen. Thanks to Google built-in, it’s also an interconnected hub, with easy access to music, maps, media, and more.

Other cabin highlights include:

• Electronic Precision Shift
• Standard heated steering wheel & heated front seats
• Folding 60/40 split-bench second row seats
• Hidden rear cargo floor storage space
• Available wireless charging

Safety First

It wouldn’t be a 2025 Chevy if it wasn’t decked out with the latest in Chevy Safety Assist technology. This suite of features includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Forward Collision Alert
• Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
• Following Distance Indicator
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• IntelliBeam

This is, of course, in addition to standard safety features such as Rear Vision Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert, Emergency Braking, and more.

Chevy (Equi)nox It Out of the Park

The actual equinox, which signals the start of spring, takes place on March 19 this year. We won’t see the arrival of the new Chevy Equinox by then – but we can cross our fingers that it’s here in time for the autumnal equinox on September 22. And while the 2025 model is surely set to be Chevy’s definitive version of the Equinox, that doesn’t mean the 2024 version is a slouch.

You can find that and much more here at Healdsburg Chevy, including the redesigned 2024 Trax. If you’re looking to go in a different direction, perhaps 2024 is the year you go electric with the Chevy Bolt EV? Your options are as limitless as the Equinox’s boundless new design, and you’ll find them at Sonoma Valley’s premier Chevy dealership, Healdsburg Chevrolet.
