ABOUT THE CHEVROLET EQUINOX

The Chevrolet Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that has been one of GM's best-selling entries in the fiercely competitive family-hauler segment for years.

Our coverage spans the 2019 through 2025 model years, and the safety picture across that range is worth a close, honest look.
