The Equinox has undergone a dramatic transformation that will make it a force to be reckoned with even in the crowded crossover market. The exterior was updated so that each trim features its own standout style highlights. Overall drivers familiar with past Equinox models will notice the 2025 model has a more athletic feel about it, with bold grille designs and defined curves that set this year apart from previous ones. A diverse color pallet including Cacti Green or Lakeshore Blue Metallic exterior paints can be combined with a two-tone roof to show off your unique sense of style.

Each trim has unique design elements that set it apart and make it a vehicle that truly hits all the right style markers for drivers. Completely Capable The 2025 Equinox features one powerhouse, a 175 hp 1.5L turbocharged engine that can be paired with two separate transmissions depending on if you opt for standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The front-wheel drive will feature a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while AWD is mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. When you opt for AWD, expect the Equinox to reach its max towing capabilities of up to 1,500 lbs, which is not bad for such a compact ride.
