Inside and out, the 2025 Equinox LT trim level exudes refinement and comfort. In the back is a manual liftgate that allows you to easily access the spacious cargo area. The vehicle rides on top of standard 17-inch Grazen metallic machined-face wheels with all-season blackwall tires, but you can opt for upgraded 19-inch black-painted aluminum wheels when you go for the Midnight Edition.
The Convenience Package I, which comes standard, gives the Equinox LT remote start, a heated steering wheel, visors with illuminated vanity mirrors for the driver and front passenger, heated front seats, and a remote express-up/down driver's window and express-down windows for all passengers. Should you want even more creature comforts, consider adding the Convenience Package II. This includes a sunglasses holder, an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat with 2-way power lumbar support, Rainsense intermittent front windshield wipers, roof rails, and the AutoSense Hands-Free power programmable liftgate for even more convenience.
There are other available features that can be equipped on the LT, such as a dual pane power sunroof. A Summit White roof can be put on for two-tone color combinations, and front and rear splash guards can help you protect the Equinox's exterior from debris in the road and splashes from the tires. These splash guards are custom molded so that they match the chosen body color, giving the vehicle a chic and modern look while being functional in nature.
The Equinox LT's cabin establishes a solid foundation with plenty of standard amenities and functions. Active noise cancellation keeps the cabin tranquil even as you cruise along the highway. A single-zone manual climate control system, rear center armrest, Passenger Sensing System, cloth seat upholstery, and cabin air filter are just some of the standard features that make the LT a well-equipped base trim.
The 2025 Equinox LT is packed with modern technology that elevates both connectivity and safety. Chevrolet's 11.3-inch diagonal LCD display infotainment system forms the core of the dashboard, featuring a vibrant touchscreen with easy smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Google built-in. This system gives you natural voice recognition and integrated navigation, making it easy to stay connected while you are on the go.
The available wireless charging pad is a real highlight of the 2025 Equinox LT, eliminating the hassle of tangled cords up front while keeping your devices powered up on the go. Multiple USB ports throughout the cabin also make sure that all passengers can charge their devices, making long trips more enjoyable. Also, the LT gives you standard 5G LTE connectivity to help you remain connected no matter where you go.
Safety technology is another area where the 2025 Equinox LT shines. Chevy Safety Assist, a package of advanced driver aids, helps you stay safe on the road. Features include Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. IntelliBeam headlights come standard, automatically turning the high beams on and off when driving conditions call for it.
Teen Driver is a particularly useful function if you have a new driver in the family. This industry-leading technology lets you know how your teen driver is doing behind the wheel even when you are not present. You can do everything from setting a volume limit to a speed alert and more. Read through the exclusive in-vehicle report card to keep tabs on your teen's performance.
The available hands-free power liftgate is a feature that comes in handy, making loading and unloading cargo a lot less chaotic. Simply wave your foot beneath the rear bumper, and the liftgate opens automatically, which is incredibly helpful when your hands are full.
The Equinox LT has OnStar safety and security at your disposal. Reach out to OnStar to speak with an advisor any time, day or night. If you need help recovering a stolen vehicle, get into an accident, get stranded on the side of the road, or have any kind of emergency, you can get help from a specially trained OnStar advisor with the simple push of a button.
Powered by a responsive 1.5L turbocharged engine, the 2025 Chevy Equinox LT brings you a strong balance of power and fuel economy. This 4-cylinder engine serves up 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, which makes merging onto the highway and performing passing maneuvers a lot easier. If you stick with the front-wheel drive (FWD) system, there is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). However, should you opt for all-wheel drive (AWD), there is an 8-speed automatic transmission that comes equipped. Either way, these transmissions operate smoothly, shifting between gears without you ever noticing the difference.
You can also expect a strong fuel economy, allowing for fewer stops at the pump and more time to enjoy the open road. The CVT models get an EPA-estimated 27 MPG combined (26 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway). If you go for an AWD model instead, those numbers change slightly, coming to 26 MPG combined (24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway). No matter what, you're getting a vehicle that is as efficient as it is fun to drive.
Handling and ride quality are among the Equinox LT's strengths. A well-tuned suspension system absorbs road imperfections easily, creating a comfortable ride for both the driver and passengers. The MacPherson front suspension and 4-link rear suspension work in conjunction to generate a smooth ride quality by reducing the impact of bumps and ruts in the road. Want to get the engine warmed up more efficiently? Opting for the engine block heater for the Equinox LT can help make cold weather starts easier. The engine block heater heats the engine and engine block fluids to get the vehicle better prepared to handle cool mornings.
