  • The Equinox is getting an all new look from Chevrolet for 2025. On the outside you will discover new sheet metal, 18in wheels, grill and LED lighting. On the inside there is an 11in infotainment screen, 11in digital gauge cluster and new materials. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

    I don't know who General Motors hired a few years ago but I have to say, they are killing it with their new model designs... across the lineup everything they're pumping out is a home run right now. If they can demonstrate good reliability in the next couple of years then I think it's time to buy a whole bunch of stock.

      Really? This has the overplayed floating roof design. Crappy Nissan started that over 10 years ago. This also has the ugly split headlight design copied by everyone, now the Equinox. Definitely nothing that screams "killing it" with design.

    having done more of my own online research for this 2025 Equinox since I first heard of it a few months back. The panoramic sunroof is an option according to the Chevrolet Canada website. All 3 trims will have that option. Personally, I think sunroofs can be overrated with it's pro/cons. But as you've mentioned it is a pre-production model. But overall I am liking this all new inside and out design. The heated seats and steering wheel being standard across the board will be a key selling feature for sure.

    The Equinox finally doesn't look hideous anymore. I couldn't believe the last generation's design made it off the design board never mind into production. It's not part of this video (except for a brief mention) but the design of the new Trex is really, really good--more of that please. The interior of the Equinox is very plain (seats look good though) but I guess that's the norm at this price point. I wonder why the interior wheel hump in the back is so much larger on the driver side than on the passenger side. Thanks, Joe

    GS cookies were 2 months ago, but this review is great. I don't think I'll go Chevy. The pillar in front if the back quarter window looks like it could be an obstruction.

      The GS cookie damage has been done.

    Looks just like the Traverse, but without that goofy long wheelbase look.

    Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I actually find the toyota RAV4 getting rather dated but the 2025 equinox is a disappointment because of it doesn't offer a hybrid 😮

    This just ticks me off, they actually put design into an equinox instead of it being just a mom soccer suv. And now i'm stuck with a 2018!
