Why We’re Excited About the 2025 Chevy Equinox

Twice each year, the world experiences the phenomenon of the equinox. This means ‘equal night’ in Latin; these are the days that usher in the spring and the fall. They are especially meaningful since they give us the best of both worlds: an equal amount of sunshine and nighttime. This is why Chevy chose the name Equinox for what has become its most standout compact SUV and one of our most anticipated vehicles for 2025. The Equinox can be a dependable commuter by day or a sleek, stylish city driver by night, capable of many more roles in the interim. Whether you commute from Breaux Bridge daily, need transport gear to a campsite, or want a long-hauler for a fun-filled family road trip, the Equinox has something to offer everyone.

If you want to get all of the latest features on this model, you should head over to visit us here at Service Chevrolet, your premier Chevy dealer near Breaux Bridge, for the 2025 Equinox. Our team at Service Chevrolet is so excited about the newest model of the Equinox that we can’t wait to share it with our customers. Let’s dive in and see what the new model year brings to our favorite SUV.

A Rugged Design for a New Generation of the Equinox

The Chevy introduced the Equinox in 2005, joining a growing lineup of SUVs from one of America’s leading automakers. Over the years, Chevy has continuously improved the Equinox at a steady pace. For the twentieth anniversary of the model, Chevy unveiled the fourth generation model of the Equinox, starting with a full refresh for 2025. It’s impossible to confuse the 2025 Equinox for anything before it, as it has developed a bolder and more rugged exterior appearance. It resembles the three-row Chevy Traverse in many ways, with darker accents and sharp geometry hinting at greater capability off the road, given that this new generation introduces the new ACTIV trim.

Next-Gen Power and Performance

Like the prior year’s model, the 2025 Chevy Equinox comes with a standard 1.5-liter Turbo I-4 gas engine, delivering solid performance and exceptional fuel economy. The critical difference is that Chevy has improved the transmission options on the Equinox. The 2024 model came with a six-speed automatic transmission, no matter the trim level you chose. This has changed for the fourth-generation model. With a front-wheel drive (FWD) setup, the Equinox now comes paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), helping the Equinox’s powertrain output 175 hp and up to 203 lb-ft of torque. Choosing available all-wheel drive (AWD) nets the Equinox an improved eight-speed automatic transmission. No matter which transmission and drivetrain you choose, you’re looking to gain an improvement over the prior model of the Equinox.

Technology Comes Front and Center in the Equinox

The balance of the Equinox can be shown in the latest technology included in the 2025 model, beginning with the dashboard on the new Equinox, which features two new digital display screens. First is a Chevy-standard Driver Information Center located right behind the steering wheel, which acts as a fully digital gauge cluster that relays essential information such as speed, fuel level, and warning lights without forcing you to take your eyes off the road.

The second screen is an 11.3-inch Chevrolet infotainment system. This is an advancement over the one on the 2024 Equinox, being a substantial increase in screen size and powered by Google. This is the largest screen ever offered on this model, allowing you to get real-time information when using navigation through Google Maps. You can also connect your smartphones using Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto. The larger screen will make accessing your streaming apps easier, as well as navigating through the system to make hands-free calls and texts.

Chevy has also improved the already impressive standard safety features on the Equinox. Joining the lineup of Chevrolet Safety Sense standard technologies is Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. Just like Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, this feature will let you know if there is an imminent collision with another vehicle, but it is now capable of sensing one about to cross your path rather than one in front of you. A warning will sound, giving you time to take evasive action, while the emergency brakes will automatically engage. Among many other similar features, new alerts such as this one make the 2025 Equinox safer than ever.

This dedication to technology is a big reason why so many drivers in Breaux Bridge are sure to love the 2025 Equinox. If you are taking your friends and family out to a remote location outside of town for an afternoon of fun around a campfire, you will have no problem finding a place for your Equinox.

Three Specialized Trims

Chevy has streamlined the 2025 Equinox’s trim lineup. You will now be able to choose between three different trim levels. The key is that each has something to offer drivers that helps set it apart from the other two.

The Equinox LT is the entry-level model, but there is nothing basic about it. With standard heated front seats and steering wheel, the LT will be ideal for folks who want a compact SUV for the commute to work or school. The interior features cloth seat fabric that is tasteful and comfortable. If you want your LT to stand out a little more, you can opt for an available two-tone roof, much like the one featured on the Chevy Trailblazer.

Rather than having a single top-of-the-line trim, Chevy has chosen to offer two top models. The RS is designed for on-road performance, while the ACTIV is great for those who want to go off the beaten path. The RS rides on a set of 19-inch wheels with available 20-inch tires. The interior has Evotex seats in striking Torch Red and Santorini Blue stitching to provide a sharp contrast. Like the LT, it has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel with a flat-bottom design, much like the ones on sports cars. A two-tone black roof is available to help make the exterior of the Equinox RS really pop.

If you love to tour the backcountry around Breaux Bridge or take the kids camping by Lake Martin, a 2025 Chevy Equinox ACTIV might be right for you. This is the first time Chevy has offered the Equinox with its ACTIV trim, designed for off-road adventure. The Equinox ACTIV rides on a set of 17-inch machined wheels that come wrapped with all-terrain tires. This will give you better traction and grip when out on a trail. The suspension has been specifically tuned for off-road conditions. There is also a set of roof rails, which can come in handy to store all of your camping gear. If you want, you can add an available two-tone white roof to improve the exterior look. The interior of the ACTIV also features sueded microfiber seats. Like the other trims, the 2025 Equinox ACTIV has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. If you lead an active lifestyle in Breaux Bridge, then the Equinox ACTIV is the one for you.

Balanced Interior Space

Like how the equinox balances the amount of daylight and nighttime on two days each year, the 2025 Chevy Equinox provides an excellent balance of interior passenger space and cargo space in the back. When you open the rear liftgate, you will get a spacious 29.8 cu.ft. of room for all the things you bought during your latest shopping trip in downtown Breaux Bridge. Meanwhile, passengers can still enjoy plenty of legroom and ample space to store their belongings on those long road trips. In fact, the Equinox can seat up to five passengers comfortably, with enough legroom in the back that you can take your Equinox on a road trip throughout Louisiana. When the back seats are lowered you have access to an impressive 63.5 cu.ft. of space.

The 2025 Chevy Equinox Will Give You a New Level of Excitement

Overall, the improved appearance, performance, and technology on the 2025 Equinox will surely provide thrills for drivers who want a compact SUV that gets the balance right. With three new trims and an equitable amount of outstanding features across all three, you can easily find an Equinox that works best for you. Are you as excited as we are?
