NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2025 Chevrolet Equinox
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
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. Aimed squarely at budget-conscious buyers who want a practical, everyday vehicle with genuine utility, the Equinox competes against the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. Our coverage spans the 2019 through 2025 model years, and the safety picture across that range is worth a close, honest look.
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 90 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.
- new and teen drivers who want standard crash-avoidance tech
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the Chevrolet Equinox as a sensible, unpretentious compact SUV that delivers solid everyday practicality and a comfortable ride for its price point. Most consider it a competitive but unremarkable entry in the segment, praising its approachable packaging while noting it rarely leads the class in any single category.
