Why the Equinox
Why the Equinox Is One of the Best Used Compact SUVs to Buy

The Chevrolet Equinox has been among the top five best-selling SUVs in the US for well over a decade. That popularity translates directly into used value: a large volume of off-lease and traded-in Equinoxes creates competitive used pricing, widespread parts availability, and a deep knowledge base among service technicians everywhere — including at Dave Gill's certified service center. You are not buying into an obscure platform.

The third-generation Equinox, which launched for the 2018 model year, brought a significant improvement over its predecessors: a lighter body, more modern turbocharged engines with better fuel economy, and a cleaner tech platform. Third-generation models from 2018 through 2026 share the same basic architecture, which means parts interchangeability and service familiarity are consistent across a wide swath of available used inventory.

Buyer's Reference
What Changed by Year: Used Equinox Generation Guide

Not all used Equinox models are the same. Here's a quick-reference for what each era of third-generation Equinox delivers so you can match the model year to your priorities and budget.

2018–2020
3rd gen launch
Best budget buy
 Completely redesigned for 2018 — lighter, more efficient than 2nd gen · 1.5L turbo (170 hp) or 2.0L turbo (252 hp) · AWD available · 7" or 8" touchscreen with Apple CarPlay (wired) · Strong fuel economy (30+ MPG combined on 1.5L) · Often available under $20,000 for higher mileage examples · Avoid the 1.5L models with early engine oil consumption issues (2018–2019 1.5L had a well-documented TSB — look for one with the fix applied or opt for 2020+)
2021–2023
Mid-cycle refresh
Sweet spot for value
 Refreshed exterior and interior for 2021 · Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added (2021) · Updated 8" touchscreen · Chevy Safety Assist standard all trims · 1.5L turbo only (2.0L discontinued) · Engine oil consumption issues largely resolved in this era · Solid CPO and CarBravo availability · Typically $20,000–$28,000 depending on mileage and trim
2024–2026
Latest generation
Newest features
 Significantly updated for 2024 — new interior, 11.3" diagonal touchscreen, redesigned dashboard · New 11" digital driver display · Reclassified as mid-size SUV for 2026 with more interior room · Heated seats and adaptive cruise now standard on LT · Interior camera security recording added 2027 · Typically $26,000–$32,000 as recent used or off-lease · Closest to new-vehicle experience in the used market
Our recommendation: For most Columbus buyers, the 2021–2023 range hits the best balance of modern tech (wireless CarPlay, refreshed interior), resolved mechanical concerns, and competitive pricing. If the 11.3" screen matters to you, go 2024 or newer.

Also Consider
New 2027 Equinox Starting at $30,995*

If your budget stretches into the low-$30,000s, a new 2027 Equinox with a full factory warranty may be worth comparing against a 2022–2023 used model at similar pricing. The 2027 brings wireless CarPlay standard, an 11.3-inch screen, adaptive cruise on every trim, and a new 8-speed automatic (replacing the CVT in FWD models). New also means full warranty coverage and no ownership history to evaluate.
