Buying guide: 2023 Chevrolet Equinox LT
The Chevrolet Equinox LT is the volume trim of Chevy's compact SUV — sitting above LS and below RS, Premier, and the discontinued Diesel variants. Equinox LT typically trades $2,000-$3,500 below equivalent RAV4/CR-V on the used market. For price-focused buyers, it's the value alternative in the segment.
The 2018 redesign introduced the current generation with a more refined interior and a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder as standard. 2022+ Equinox LTs have the updated infotainment and styling refresh. For buyers choosing between years, a 2020-2022 Equinox LT offers the strongest depreciation-adjusted value.
The 1.5L turbo four-cylinder is the only engine on recent LTs. 2.0L turbo was available until 2019 but has been discontinued. 6-speed automatic was standard through 2019; 9-speed automatic is standard from 2020. AWD is available and commands a $1,500-$2,000 premium — worth it in snow regions.
The LT Convenience Package II adds heated seats, remote start, and a power liftgate — worth $1,000-$1,500 on used value. The Sport Edition appearance package adds black wheels and trim — has a modest resale benefit in youth-oriented markets.
Equinox LT pricing is relatively stable nationally — no major regional premiums. AWD LTs carry larger premiums in the Midwest and Northeast.
Trim-level notes
- •LT is the volume trim — comes with Chevy Safety Assist, 17-inch wheels, cloth interior
- •LT Convenience Package II adds heated seats and remote start — worth seeking out
- •LT AWD adds $1,500-$2,000 — worth it for snow-belt buyers
- •Avoid LS trim — LT is significantly better positioned for resale
Reliability & known issues
- •1.5L turbo four-cylinder: generally reliable but some early-2018 units had timing-chain concerns
- •9-speed automatic (2020+): much better than the older 6-speed
- •Infotainment freezes on pre-2022 units — updated software resolves most issues
- •Air conditioning complaints on 2018-2019 units — mostly addressed via service updates
2023 Chevrolet Equinox: common questions
Is a used Equinox LT or an Escape SE a better buy?
Very competitive matchup. Both are budget-focused compact SUVs pricing below RAV4/CR-V. Equinox LT has a nicer interior; Escape SE Hybrid offers significantly better efficiency if you can step up to hybrid. At equivalent trims, pricing is within $500-$1,000. Pick based on which drivetrain and interior you prefer.
What's the best year used Equinox LT to buy?
2021-2022 Equinox LT is the sweet spot. 9-speed transmission is fully sorted, infotainment is significantly improved over earlier years, and pricing has settled. Expect to pay $20,000-$25,000 depending on mileage, equipment, and region.
Is the 1.5L turbo strong enough for highway driving?
Yes, but not exciting. The 1.5L turbo produces 170hp — adequate for commuting and highway cruising but lacks the punch of a 2.5L four-cylinder. If you want more power, look at the discontinued 2.0L turbo Equinox (pre-2020) or step up to a different vehicle.
