The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox marks a bold evolution in the compact SUV market, reimagined for modern drivers seeking a blend of everyday functionality, safety, comfort, and style. Whether you're navigating busy Toronto streets, heading north for a weekend getaway, or simply running daily errands in the GTA, the 2025 Equinox has been engineered to meet a wide variety of lifestyles and driving preferences. With three uniquely styled trims—LT, RS, and the all-new ACTIV—Chevrolet gives buyers an impressive range of features and finishes to choose from.
For 2025, the Equinox enters an entirely new generation. It boasts a more assertive stance, sculpted exterior design, and refined interior appointments. New front and rear fascias, two-tone roof options, modern lighting elements, and bold color choices make the Equinox more distinctive than ever. Inside, Chevrolet has elevated the cabin with updated materials, improved ergonomics, and more personalization—delivering a high-end experience at a competitive price point. With trims ranging from everyday commuter-friendly to off-road adventurous, there's a model to suit nearly any driver.
Under the hood, every 2025 Equinox trim is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged engine, designed to offer a confident blend of efficiency and everyday performance. This engine is paired with either front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive for added traction and control—an important feature for Ontario’s changing seasons. Drivers can also tow up to 680 kg (1,500 lb.), giving the Equinox surprising versatility for road trips, light trailers, or cottage-bound weekends.
Every Equinox comes with a wide range of smart technology features, including a standard 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touchscreen that's angled toward the driver for better visibility and accessibility. Google built-in compatibility, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available HD Surround Vision elevate the driving experience with connectivity and confidence. Safety is also a priority, with Chevrolet Safety Assist standard across the lineup, and premium trims offering advanced options like Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking and Side Bicyclist Alert.
The LT trim serves as the starting point for the 2025 Equinox lineup and sets a high bar for what compact SUV buyers can expect in this segment. With a newly redesigned exterior and a fresh take on its familiar shape, the LT blends functionality with value. The unique LT-specific grille and front fascia give the SUV a clean, approachable look, while available two-tone roof options and eye-catching colors like Lakeshore Blue Metallic and Radiant Red Tint add a touch of personality.
Inside, the LT is well-appointed with heated front seats, cloth upholstery, and a heated steering wheel, making it ideal for year-round commuting. The 11.3-inch infotainment screen and an 11-inch digital Driver Information Centre bring a modern tech-forward environment to the cabin. Safety, convenience, and connectivity come together with features like Chevrolet Safety Assist, Blind Zone Steering Assist, adaptive cruise control, and remote start, all designed to meet the needs of Toronto families and urban professionals alike.
For those looking for more visual drama and spirited design, the RS trim transforms the Equinox into a head-turning urban SUV. With a more aggressive look and performance-inspired details, the RS sets itself apart from the crowd. A unique RS grille, gloss black exterior accents, roof rails, and 19-inch Carbon Flash machined-face aluminum wheels give this model a dark, sporty edge. Optional 20-inch wheels and a two-tone black roof take the design even further.
Inside, the RS offers premium touches like Evotex upholstery with Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching, along with a flat-bottom heated steering wheel and RS debossed head restraints. It’s not just about looks either—the RS comes well-equipped with standard all-wheel drive, the same responsive 1.5L turbo engine, and added tech like wireless charging and the AutoSense power liftgate. For urban drivers who crave sophistication and smart performance, the RS delivers.
New for 2025, the ACTIV trim brings off-road attitude to the Equinox for the very first time. Designed for adventurous lifestyles, the ACTIV is more than just a cosmetic package—it includes real capability enhancements like all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and standard all-wheel drive. Its rugged exterior features a distinct ACTIV grille, black badging, and roof rails, all riding on 17-inch Dark Android machined-face aluminum wheels. Available with a striking two-tone white roof, the ACTIV is ready to stand out on or off the road.
Inside, the ACTIV impresses with its refined adventure aesthetic. The cabin includes Evotex and sueded microfibre seating surfaces, with “ACTIV” stitched into the head restraints. Like the RS, it includes heated seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and an AutoSense power liftgate. Whether you're heading to the cottage, exploring a trail near Muskoka, or simply commuting through downtown Toronto, the ACTIV brings style, substance, and adventure-focused versatility.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox arrives with a bold new identity that goes beyond surface-level updates. With three distinct trims tailored to different driver lifestyles, a versatile and efficient turbocharged engine, and a suite of advanced safety and connectivity technologies, the Equinox is more capable and refined than ever. Whether you're drawn to the well-balanced LT, the eye-catching and tech-rich RS, or the adventurous ACTIV, the new Equinox lineup ensures there’s a model that fits your needs in the Greater Toronto Area.
For families, commuters, or weekend explorers, the 2025 Equinox offers flexibility, innovation, and the confidence that comes from Chevrolet's award-winning reliability. It’s more than just a compact SUV—it’s a smart, stylish companion built for real life in Ontario.
