Notes and sources

  1. Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration EQUINOX FWD (26 city, 28 highway). EPA data dated 2025-08-22, the date EPA wrote the workbook in 25data.zip.
  2. CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 332 g/mi, or 206 g/km.
  3. Fuel cost: EPA's own annual estimate for this car is $1,950, on EPA's assumptions. At this week's price it is $2,207: 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon — the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly U.S. average for regular gasoline, all formulations, on 2026-09-14. Five years at that price: $11,037. Both are estimates; neither is a measured figure.
  4. Power: 175 hp is the rated figure, from EPA test-car data.
  5. Crash rating: not published. NHTSA lists this car (20413, 20412) and publishes no overall rating for it: it rates a car overall only when it has run the frontal, side and rollover tests on it.
  6. Recall campaigns: NHTSA lists none for the 2025 Equinox as of 2026-09-10.
  7. Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Equinox nameplate (152, of which 5 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 190,843 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). No publisher states the rate itself.
  8. Kerb weight: not published. No source states a curb weight for this car.
  9. EPA test weight: 3,750 lb (1,701 kg) is the equivalent test weight class EPA tested this configuration at, not the kerb weight.
  10. Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Chevrolet's published 2025 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.
  11. Registrations: 16,423 Equinoxs of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.
  12. This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.
  13. Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2025 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.
