Sometimes when SUVs are redesigned they’re duds. But the brand-new Chevy Equinox is a total stud. It has a new style, updated tech, and an improved performance to give top dogs like the Toyota RAV4 a serious run for their money. 

2025 Chevy Equinox Review: Completely Redesigned and Enhanced 

I usually kick off these reviews with something random. This time it’s about how easy the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox was to operate in holiday traffic. Its speed, agility, and size made it super convenient to fight for parking in crowded lots and finish my holiday to-do list. 

The Equinox was just totally redesigned to launch the fourth-generation. It gained a sleek style, updated tech, a sportier performance, and the Activ rugged trim. 

Here are some possible disadvantages of the 2025 Chevy Equinox: 

• There’s no hybrid engine 
• It’s not the fastest SUV in the bunch 
• It has less cargo space than rivals 

What is the driving experience like in the 2025 Equinox?

The 2025 Chevy Equinox has a standard turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque. Adding AWD increases the torque to 203 lb-ft. 

While it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 8.6 seconds, it still has plenty of pep for merging into traffic and passing others. However, the Mazda CX-50 and Kia Sportage feel more athletic. 

The eight-speed automatic transmission is pretty smooth but may occasionally stumble during upshifts and the steering is a bit vague. But the brakes are quick and confident for smooth stops. 

There is little to no body roll around corners, and the Equinox feels stable. It’s well-planted in light off-roading situations. 

The turning radius is between 18.7 to 20.8 feet, meaning this nimble SUV is extremely easy to navigate through tight areas. 

What is the comfort level like in the 2025 Chevy Equinox? 

The 2025 Chevy Equinox provides plenty of comfort for daily commutes and longer trips. The font seats are large and well-padded for relaxing support. Taller adults can easily find the perfect driving position. 

In the back, the seating is slightly less cushioned. However, legroom has increased by 2.5 inches compared to the previous model. At 5’1”, I found ample space to relax. Additionally, the rear seats can recline for extra comfort.
