2025 Chevy Equinox Activ AWD | Rugged, Off Road Compact SUV?

It looks great man love the two tone paint job.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Same!

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

Really like it a lot! Needs a engine above the 1.5L turbo though. Bring back the 2.0L turbo at a higher price point.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

It would be nice to have the 2.0T available again!

[@TheCaptjamestkirk]

Yep that 1.5 turbo needs to go! 👎

[@stevenangelo737]

They will be adding a plug in hybrid version of the 1.5 turbo.

If the Activ is the same price as a lower spec blazer. Then I might as well get the blazer. Price will determine everything for me!

Great review. Do you mind doing a full review on the LT base model once they are out?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Absolutely will do one when I can! I would have done one here but they only brought one trim of Equinox and Traverse. :(

[@aryehrosenthal2138]

Thanks so much. I see that the LS and Premier trim levels were discontinued.

[@Paul-cx4gm]

I'm really digging the things rugged new looks.

[@joefalcone6164]

Engine and trans ?

[@CarsMadeSimple]

1.5T with CVT or 8 Speed Auto (AWD)

At first I wasn't too into the cacti green with white roof. But it's kind of growing on me especially in the Activ with those tires. I can place bets that come this summer my sales guy will be giving me a shout for this new model as I currently have the 22 Equinox RS and I'm in my final year of a lease. I am really liking this complete overhaul inside and out of the 25 Equinox.

Thanks for sharing!
