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

In this video we take a look at the all new 2025 Chevy Equinox Activ finished in Cacti Green with the White roof option at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show. The 2025 Equinox uses the same platform as before with an all new body and interior. The 1.5l Turbo powertrain carries over with a new 8 speed automatic for AWD and CVT for FWD versions. Power remains similar to the outgoing model for AWD and a little less for FWD trims with the CVT transmission. Let me know your thoughts on the 2025 Equinox Activ down in the comments below! Make sure to stay tuned for more coverage of the Chicago Auto Show over the coming days.

It looks great man love the two tone paint job.

[@CarsMadeSimple]

Same!

[@mcglover7849]

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!

[@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.

I'm really digging the things rugged new looks.

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!

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.

Engine and trans ?

1.5T with CVT or 8 Speed Auto (AWD)
