2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS
- Used
Notes from the dealer
This SUV appeals to drivers who crave refined daily experiences with a distinctly executive feel. The Equinox RS is designed for those who appreciate thoughtful details, like a heated steering wheel that offers warmth on brisk mornings and dual-zone climate control that ensures every passenger rides in comfort. For families and professionals around Sw Mt Vernon, IA, the power liftgate and rear heated seats make every errand or road trip more comfortable. The vehicleâs one-owner, non-smoker history further reinforces its clean, well-maintained environment, making it a compelling choice for anyone seeking a feature-rich value in a contemporary package.
On the road, the Equinox RS showcases smooth, effortless performance anchored by its 1.5L DOHC engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrainâs all-wheel drive configuration maximizes confidence across varied weather conditions, while the ride remains composed and quietâ"ensuring minimal noise, vibration, and harshness reach the cabin. Acceleration feels responsive yet unobtrusive, and the carefully tuned suspension absorbs imperfections, allowing passengers to relax even on longer highway stretches. This refined driving experience transforms commutes and weekend escapes into moments of elevated comfort.
Safety systems in this SUV integrate seamlessly, quietly enhancing peace of mind without intruding on the cabinâs serene atmosphere. Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring work together to support the driver, intervening subtly when needed. The 360-degree camera system and reverse sensing technology make parking and low-speed maneuvers intuitive and stress-free, while rain-sensing wipers and automatic high-beam headlights adapt intelligently to changing conditions. All these features operate in the background, letting passengers and drivers focus on the journey rather than the mechanics of staying secure.
Convenience and luxury are at the forefront with the RS trimâs impressive equipment suite. The Convenience Package III introduces a power liftgate and advanced navigation system, while the Safety & Technology Package adds key driver aids and a 360-degree camera for enhanced awareness. Inside, passengers enjoy premium synthetic Evotex seat trim, a 12-speaker premium audio system, and the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 platform displayed on a crisp 11.3-inch color LCD. Heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel offer personalized comfort, while dual-zone climate control and smart storage solutions make every trip more enjoyable.
When compared to other premium compact SUVs like the Honda CR-V Touring and the Toyota RAV4 Limited, the Equinox RS stands out with its blend of tactile quality and sophisticated features. The black with red-accented interior and advanced cabin quietness create a more exclusive atmosphere than many competitors.
What premium materials are used in the interior? The RS features Evotex premium synthetic seats with bold red accents, offering a soft, upscale feel and visual distinction. How quiet is the cabin? The interior benefits from advanced insulation and acoustic glass, significantly reducing road and wind noise for a tranquil drive.

The AWD RS is a beautiful SUV inside and out. It is modern and has the technology that everyone needs at a great price. The ride quality is one of the best of any cars in the field. The seats are comfortable and adjusted for every rider. Is the engine the fastest no, but is all the vast majority of people need. - 5.0

I had a Toyota SUV before, but it was totaled. The handling for it was nice, but the Equinox 26 is far more comfortable. I'm 6'2", and there's plenty of room for me to get around in. I did a lot of shopping around and the options that came with it couldn't be beaten for the price. I've had it a little less than a year, but I've only driven it around 2500 miles. I got the CVT transmission and it has been extremely smooth in shifting gears due to it's design. The engine is small, which likely contributes to the bad gas mileage some people report getting. I live in a rural area and get about 32 mpg on average with me going light on the gas pedal. When I'm on the interstate, I get around 35 mpg, up to my max of almost 38 mpg. I use the adaptive cruise control as much as possible and not speeding up hard or braking much. The engine has a nice little hum to it and isn't loud. It gets up to speed fast enough, when I need it. I can even spin the tires a bit, if I try to take off too fast. I didn't have any problems with the sound system, but I went in and fiddled with all the settings in the very beginning. This might help some people out who are having sound issues. The only problem I've had with mine was a very small oil leak, which is likely due to me not getting the oil changed soon enough. I believe they said the oil plug gasket was being replaced just in case, and it hasn't leaked since. For now, I'd still get the car again. Here's to hoping I don't get some of the issues others have. - 5.0
Best Equinox yet

This is our fifth Equinox and Chevy to us has outdone themselves.. We traded in a 2023 Equinox, hated the transmission so we went with a AWD to get the 8 speed transmission.. It can be a challenge to drive while being fun with all the safety features and LED dash and lighting, especially the adaptive cruise for one.. Would like to see more color in the interiors..
