2024 Chevy Equinox SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Equinox comes in four trim levels: LS, LT, RS and Premier. Each is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (175 horsepower, 203 lb-ft of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Feature highlights include:

The Equinox also comes standard with advanced driver aids such as:

The Midnight and Sport Editions are available for the LS trim. Both include the same features, and only the Midnight Edition's black metallic exterior paint sets them apart. Both packages include:

Which Equinox trim does Edmunds recommend?

The LT trim has the right balance of features for the money. You'll enjoy the LT's heated front seats, power liftgate, and front and rear parking sensors. For a relatively small premium, we recommend adding the Safety and Infotainment package for the larger touchscreen and the surround-view camera and adaptive cruise control systems, which help make driving easier and safer.
