The RS includes the Convenience Package II and Midnight Edition package as standard features, while the Activ features a revised front styling with more rugged details, all-terrain tires, and exclusive 17-inch wheels. If you want to drive in style throughout Florida, consider adding a two-tone roof to your Equinox.

Technology and Safety

Chevy gives the 2025 Equinox various cutting-edge technologies to keep everyone entertained and safe on the road. All trims feature an 11-inch digital display with important driver information such as fuel economy, navigation, and speed. You also get an 11.3-inch touch-screen infotainment system with voice recognition, phone integration, and Google built-in to keep you connected during journeys along the Florida coast. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and connected services are also available with access to a 5G Wi-Fi hot spot. A navigation system is standard across all three trims.

Standard safety and driver-assistance features include a high-definition rear vision camera, forward collision alert, safety alert seat, rear park assist, rear cross-traffic braking, reverse automatic braking, front pedestrian and bicyclist braking, and a following distance indicator. You also get intersection automatic emergency braking, blind zone steering assist, lane-keep assist with lane departure warning, Buckle to Drive, side bicyclist alert, and enhanced automatic emergency braking. Available driver aids to protect you and your passengers further include traffic sign recognition, high-definition surround vision, and rear pedestrian alert.

Performance and Efficiency

Each trim level of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox has a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque, matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Whether you’re driving Florida’s sandy beaches or scenic highways, the standard all-wheel-drive system enhances traction on various surfaces. You can enjoy the EPA-estimated 29 mpg for highway driving and 24 mpg on the city streets.

The drive mode selector lets you customize your vehicle’s performance to suit different driving conditions. Adjusting settings such as throttle response, traction control, and suspension ensures optimal handling and comfort. Whether you need enhanced grip for off-road adventures, improved fuel efficiency for city driving, or dynamic performance for sporty driving, the drive mode selector adapts your vehicle to meet the demands of the terrain and your preferences.

Trim and Customization Options

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is well equipped at every trim level and guaranteed to turn heads on the road wherever you drive in Florida. The many exterior color options include Mosaic Black Metallic and Cacti Green. For a more unique appearance, you can also opt for two-tone colors such as Mosaic Black Metallic/Summit White or Cacti Green/Summit White.

The LT trim offers the perfect balance of affordability and versatility. Enjoy the standard features or explore options to personalize the look, technology, and convenience features to match your preferences and budget. This flexibility makes the LT trim an excellent choice if you’re seeking customization without compromising value. The RS offers more luxurious features and upgrades for a small bump in price. The new Equinox Activ comes equipped with standard all-terrain tires, meaning you can adventure throughout Florida with confidence as these provide enhanced grip and traction on various terrains.
