Chevrolet kept the third generation of the Equinox just six years before it replaced it with the fourth generation of this nameplate at the beginning of 2024 for the 2025 model year.

Chevrolet didn't rush on creating new electric vehicles, even though it was a pioneer in this domain with the EV1 in 1996. But this time, it didn't run and developed an entirely new platform named Ultium.

Launched for the first time in 2005, the Chevrolet Equinox was, in the beginning, a re-badged Suzuki Vitara XL7. But in time, the model improved a lot and made it into becoming a respected medium SUV on the market.

Released at the autumnal equinox on September 22nd, the third generation of the Chevrolet Equinox was a compact SUV that came equipped with gasoline and diesel engines on the U.S. market.

Chevrolet introduced the second generation of the Equinox high-rider at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. Still, it wasn't an entirely new car.

Chevrolet introduced the Equinox range in 2004 as a 2005 model-year and built it on the same platform with the Saturn Vue, Chevrolet Captiva/Vauxhall Antara.
