The Smart Choice for Newfoundland and Labrador Families: 5 Reasons to Love the Redesigned 2025 Chevrolet Equinox
September 26 2025,
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox arrives as Chevrolet's answer to what modern families need from their SUV. After more than 20 years of production and 322,000 units sold, the Equinox has earned its place as Chevrolet's most popular SUV in Canada. This all-new generation takes everything families loved about previous models and adds the technology, safety, and versatility that today's busy households require.
From hockey practice runs across Bay Roberts to weekend getaways throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, the redesigned Equinox handles family life with confidence. Here are five reasons why this SUV makes sense for families in our province.
- All-Weather Confidence for Atlantic Canada Conditions
Newfoundland and Labrador's weather can change quickly, and the 2025 Equinox comes prepared. Available all-wheel drive provides traction when you need it most, whether you're navigating winter roads or handling unexpected weather changes during your travels.
The ACTIV and RS trims include all-wheel drive as standard equipment, while LT offers it as an available feature. When equipped with AWD, the Equinox includes selectable drive modes that adjust the vehicle's performance for different conditions. Normal mode handles everyday driving, while Snow mode optimizes traction for winter conditions, and Off-Road mode helps when you venture beyond paved roads.
The 1.5L Turbo engine produces 175 horsepower and pairs with either a continuously variable transmission (FWD) or an eight-speed automatic transmission (AWD) to deliver responsive performance and efficient operation.
- Technology That Keeps Everyone Connected
Modern families need technology that works for everyone, and the Equinox delivers with some of the largest screens in its class. The 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and 11-inch digital Driver Information Centre create a high-tech environment that rivals much more expensive vehicles.
Google built-in integration allows passengers to access familiar apps, maps, and voice commands through Google Assistant. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility means family members can connect their devices without searching for cables, while available wireless charging keeps smartphones powered during longer trips.
The system's design prioritizes ease of use, with large icons and intuitive menus that don't require a technology degree to understand.
- Versatile Cargo Space for Active Lifestyles
Active families need space for sports equipment, luggage, and everything else that comes with busy schedules. The Equinox provides 1,798 litres of maximum cargo volume when the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are down, creating a flat loading floor for larger items.
Hidden storage under the rear cargo floor keeps valuable items out of sight, while the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate makes loading easier when your hands are full. The flat-folding front passenger seat extends cargo space even further when you need to transport longer items.
- Comprehensive Safety for Peace of Mind
Family safety goes beyond airbags and seatbelts, and the 2025 Equinox includes more than 20 standard safety and driver assistance features. Chevrolet Safety Assist comes standard and includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking.
Additional features like Side Bicyclist Alert, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, and Rear Cross Traffic Braking help protect your family in various driving situations. Adaptive Cruise Control maintains a safe following distance on highway trips, while Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning helps keep you centred in your lane.
These systems work quietly in the background, intervening only when needed while keeping you informed through the digital displays.
- Trim Options to Match Your Family's Needs
The Equinox offers three distinct trim levels, each designed for different family priorities. LT provides excellent value with all essential features, including the large touchscreen, Google built-in, and comprehensive safety systems.
ACTIV adds outdoor-ready styling with unique grille design, all-terrain tires, and rugged exterior accents. Standard AWD and selectable drive modes make it ideal for families who enjoy outdoor activities.
RS focuses on street-inspired style with distinctive interior stitching, available black roof options, and sport-tuned suspension. Its bold design appeals to families who want their SUV to stand out.
