Chevrolet does not build many cars like the Chevrolet Equinox: a 5-door SUV with Petrol engine, built from 2004 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids.
The background
The Chevrolet Equinox is a crossover SUV introduced by Chevrolet in 2004 for the 2005 model year. It was intended to replace the North American Chevrolet Tracker and Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. The third-generation Equinox also replaced the first-generation Chevrolet Captiva. An all-electric battery-powered (BEV) version called the Equinox EV was introduced in 2022 with sales starting in 2023 for the 2024 model year. It adopts a separate design and underpinnings from the internal combustion engine powered Equinox.
The engineering
Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 3660 -. The gearbox is a 5-speed Aisin AF33 transmission / Aisin AF33 automatic transmission / automatic / 6-speed GM-Ford 6-speed automatic transmission / GM–Ford 6T70 automatic. The wheelbase is 2857 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Chevrolet's history is not in doubt: the Chevrolet Tracker (Americas) / Chevrolet Tracker / Chevrolet S-10 Blazer came before it; it was built at Ingersoll, Ontario (CAMI), Canada. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Suzuki Swift, the Chrysler 300, the Hyundai Tucson. Its Chevrolet stablemates include the Chevrolet Adra and the Chevrolet C-10.
The money
On the used market today a Chevrolet Equinox typically changes hands for $7,400–$36,000, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,244–$8,723 a year. Insurance sits around $1,020–$2,250 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
