Snow Performance: The 2025 Equinox Features That Matter Most in Winter

Winter driving demands vehicles that can handle challenging conditions with confidence and capability. The all-new 2025 Chevrolet Equinox rises to the occasion with a redesigned platform that brings more technology, safety features, and all-weather performance to Chevrolet's most popular SUV.

With over two decades of production and 322,000 units sold, the Equinox has earned its reputation as Chevrolet's top-selling SUV for good reason. The 2025 model builds on this legacy with significant upgrades that make winter driving safer and more manageable than ever before.

All-Wheel Drive Capability

The 2025 Equinox offers available all-wheel drive across the lineup, with standard AWD on both ACTIV and RS trims. This system automatically transfers power between the front and rear wheels as needed, providing enhanced traction on slippery winter roads. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Equinox delivers responsive performance exactly when you need it most during winter driving conditions.

Snow Mode Driving Selection

For the first time, the 2025 Equinox features driver-selectable modes accessed via a convenient rotator on the centre console. All models include a dedicated Snow mode that adjusts the vehicle's propulsion system for optimal performance in winter conditions. AWD models add an Off-Road mode for even more capability when the weather turns severe and roads become challenging.

Advanced Safety Technology

Winter driving requires extra vigilance, and the 2025 Equinox comes equipped with standard Chevrolet Safety Assist. This comprehensive suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning—all valuable features when visibility decreases during snowstorms. The Following Distance Indicator helps maintain safe spacing on slippery roads, while Adaptive Cruise Control comes standard to make highway driving in variable conditions more manageable.

All-Weather Visibility Features

The redesigned Equinox incorporates all-LED lighting with striking light elements that provide excellent illumination during winter's shorter days and reduced visibility conditions. Standard IntelliBeam technology automatically adjusts high beams for optimal visibility without blinding oncoming drivers—a crucial feature during nighttime winter driving. The standard Rear Vision Camera helps with backing up in snowy conditions, while the available Safety Alert Seat provides tactile warnings to help keep drivers aware of potential hazards hidden by snow.

Winter-Ready Interior Comfort

Staying comfortable is essential for maintaining focus during challenging winter drives. The ACTIV trim offers standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel to keep hands and bodies warm even in the coldest conditions. The RS trim elevates this comfort with a heated flat-bottom steering wheel and the same heated front seats. Both trims offer available ventilated front seats and rear heated outboard seats for comprehensive comfort throughout the cabin. Combined with an 11.3-inch-diagonal infotainment screen that's 30 percent larger than the previous model, the Equinox keeps you connected to weather updates and navigation assistance when you need them most.

The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox builds on its well-earned reputation with practical features that make winter driving more manageable. With its combination of all-weather capability, advanced safety technology, and thoughtful comfort features, the redesigned Equinox stands ready to tackle winter's worst while keeping you confident behind the wheel.
