Between morning commutes, theme park runs, and last-minute beach days, life in Orlando can be hectic, and the 2025 Chevy Equinox keeps up. It’s easy to park, comfortable to drive, and loaded with tech that helps. Let’s explore why this compact SUV is so popular in Central Florida.
Compact Outside, Spacious Inside
The Equinox is perfectly sized for Orlando life. It’s compact enough to easily navigate downtown traffic and tight attraction parking, but its spacious interior means your passengers never feel cramped. It easily seats five and offers generous legroom for everyone: 40.9 inches in the first row and 39.9 inches in the second.
It has generous space for your things, too. The dedicated rear cargo area has 29.8 for your groceries, backpacks, and other daily essentials. A convenient storage area under the cargo floor keeps smaller items out of sight. The 60/40 split rear seat folds down when needed to create a long, usable space for beach bags, camping gear, or a shopping haul. With the seat fully loaded, you have 63.5 cubic feet, and an available AutoSense power liftgate simplifies loading.
Efficient Performance
With its 175-horsepower 1.5L turbo engine and continuous variable transmission (CVT), the Equinox delivers the smooth shifting, responsive acceleration, and efficient performance you need for both stop-and-go traffic and cruising the open road. It gets 26 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, so you’ll make fewer stops for gas no matter where you’re going.
Front-wheel drive is standard, but available all-wheel drive provides added traction when surprise storms slick the pavement or you’re driving on sandy roads. The ACTIV and RS trims add a drive mode selector so you can easily tailor performance to weather and road conditions.
Modern Infotainment
The Equinox has user-friendly tech that feels intuitive and familiar. Google built-in puts Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play right at your fingertips, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you make calls, send messages, and control your music hands-free. In-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability keeps your passengers connected on the road, and multiple USB ports and available wireless charging keep their devices powered up.
Advanced Driver Assistance
Resort-area traffic demands alert driving and a little extra assistance, and the Equinox comes through with standard Chevy Safety Assist. This suite of driver-assistance features includes lane keep assist with lane departure warning, automatic high beams, forward collision alert, and automatic emergency braking. It also offers parking assistance with standard rear park assist, a rearview camera, and rear cross-traffic braking.
