This side-by-side breakdown will help you see how each one stacks up — and which Equinox is the best fit for your lifestyle.

Rugged or Refined? Style Choices Built Around You

The 2025 Equinox lineup makes a strong first impression, no matter which version you choose. The gas-powered model leans into a bold, boxy silhouette, bringing that rugged SUV attitude to everyday driving. It’s a great match for those who value a more traditional look with confident lines and a road-ready stance that handles gear, gravel, and everything in between. Take your pick between three different trims:

  • First-ever ACTIV Trim – ready for your off-path adventures
  • All-new RS Trim – bold and newly styled
  • Reimagined LT Trim – new interior and exterior design for everyday excursions

In contrast, the Equinox EV trades toughness for sleekness, embracing a modern, rounded profile that feels right at home in today’s tech-driven world. Its aerodynamic curves and futuristic detailing make it an instant standout in urban settings and driveways alike. There are two models in the Equinox EV family: The LT and RS models. While the RS has slightly more features and bigger wheels, both have an abundance of colour options and a design that makes an entrance wherever it goes.

These designs speak to different lifestyles: one built for weekend escapes and practicality, the other for polished commutes and forward-thinking curb appeal.
