Getting behind the wheel of the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox from Mid Missouri Powerhouse is the perfect way to tackle the busy fall season with ease and fun! This newly redesigned SUV features a fresh look that draws inspiration from popular models like the Blazer EV and Tahoe. With its new platform, extended wheelbase, and wider track, the updated Equinox offers a more spacious interior and a grounded, modern feel. 

Chevrolet has streamlined the 2025 Equinox lineup into three trims—LT, RS, and Activ—each catering to different driving preferences and aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for all your autumn adventures.

Chevrolet Equinox: A Comprehensive Overview

The redesigned Equinox stands out with a broader, taller body, maximizing interior space for passengers and cargo alike. It retains its 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces a respectable 175 horsepower. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive versions are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission for more precise shifting. 

While the power output remains steady, the Equinox has received various tweaks to improve overall driving dynamics.

Trim Options:

• LT: The base trim is practical and versatile, providing essential features that balance convenience and functionality.

• RS: For those drawn to sporty aesthetics, the RS trim offers a more aggressive look with a wide grille, black accents, and 19-inch wheels. The RS trim can be had with a black roof, enhancing its bold style.

• Activ: This trim caters to adventurous drivers with off-road-inspired features like rugged black trim and 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. Additionally, it offers a contrasting white roof for an extra visual touch.

Versatility Meets Accessibility

The 2025 Equinox makes everyday driving easy with its balanced steering and responsive handling, offering a practical choice for those who value comfort and control on the road. Whether navigating tight city streets or merging onto highways, the Equinox offers control and ease. The steering is tuned to be light yet communicative, making the SUV easy to maneuver, while a well-calibrated braking system provides confident stops. These characteristics make the Equinox an excellent choice for city commuting and longer road trips, as it offers a driving experience that’s equally enjoyable on short errands and extended journeys.

In addition to being easy to drive, the Equinox also stands out in terms of storage options. The cabin features spacious door pockets, a well-organized center console, and a convenient under-floor storage bin in the cargo area. This focus on interior storage ensures that families and solo adventurers have ample room for everything from groceries to camping gear. 

With the rear seats folded down, the Equinox offers generous cargo space that rivals many competitors.

Notable Features and Comfort

Chevrolet has designed the Equinox to prioritize comfort, with a suite of features aimed at enhancing the driving experience. For instance, its refined stop/start system operates smoothly, engaging only when necessary to improve fuel efficiency without disrupting the drive. The cabin layout is user-friendly, with easily accessible climate controls and physical buttons for essential functions, allowing drivers to make quick adjustments without distractions.

On the safety front, the Equinox comes well-equipped across all trims. Advanced driver-assistance features like blind-spot warning are standard, helping drivers stay aware of their surroundings. Chevrolet has also made additional safety technologies available on higher trims, allowing buyers to tailor the SUV to their specific needs.

Final Thoughts

Turbomax Takes the Lead: 2025 Chevy Colorado’s Streamlined Design, Unmatched Power

The 2025 Chevy Colorado with its new TurboMax engine will be arriving soon at Mid Missouri Powerhouse! It offers a refreshed and refined driving experience ready to tackle any adventure during the invigorating fall season. 

General Motors has streamlined the 2025 Chevy Colorado lineup by introducing the 2.7-liter TurboMax as the sole engine option. This turbocharged powerhouse brings an impressive 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, setting the stage for a thrilling and capable drive. With a focus on performance, the TurboMax delivers an outstanding blend of power and efficiency, perfect for those who demand strength and versatility from their pickup.

This change aligns with GM’s recent approach for the GMC Canyon, which shares much of the same platform as the Colorado. By honing in on this powerful engine, the 2025 Colorado is primed to offer a consistent and exciting experience across all trims. Plus, since the TurboMax was previously featured in the premium ZR2 Bison trim, drivers can now enjoy top-notch performance on any configuration they choose.

The base 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 237 horsepower, was previously appreciated for its cost-effectiveness, though some noted its performance limitations. When GM shifted to a single powertrain offering in the following model year, the starting price for the base model reflected this change, showcasing a notable adjustment compared to previous years.

This kept the Chevrolet Colorado more budget-friendly compared to the Canyon. But now, with Chevrolet also adopting the TurboMax as its standard engine, it’s likely that this pricing advantage may shift. General Motors recently confirmed an important shift regarding the engine options for the Colorado, aligning it with the strategy already in place for the GMC Canyon. 

This move reflects the natural evolution of the GMT 31XX platform, enhancing the driving experience and maintaining a streamlined lineup. While GMC is known for its luxury-oriented offerings, particularly through the Denali sub-brand, each brand possesses unique identity and appeal.

The distinctions between GMC and Chevrolet primarily lie in their marketing approaches and the exclusive features that GMC occasionally introduces, showcasing the versatility and innovation of the broader General Motors lineup. With this change, the focus remains on delivering powerful performance and meeting the diverse needs of all drivers.

For 2025, the Colorado will feature the 2.7-liter turbocharged L3B “TurboMax” engine as its sole powertrain option, simplifying the customization process for buyers. This means an eight-speed automatic transmission will be standard, and there won’t be multiple cab or bed configurations to select from. Instead, customers can focus on personalizing their trucks by choosing wheels, tires, and off-road packages that suit their adventure needs.

Additionally, the Colorado is set to enhance its towing capability, reaching a maximum of 7,700 pounds. This improvement in towing capacity pairs well with increased acceleration, allowing drivers to enjoy a dynamic driving experience. Overall, this streamlined approach aims to provide a more straightforward yet powerful option for those looking for a capable and reliable pickup.

The 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is set to impress with its remarkable features and capabilities, making it a standout choice in the midsize pickup market. With the introduction of the powerful 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, drivers can expect enhanced performance, offering an exhilarating driving experience with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.

Beyond its impressive power, the Colorado boasts advanced technology and innovative features that elevate the driving experience. From its user-friendly infotainment system to its smart safety features, the Colorado is designed to keep you connected and secure on the road. Plus, with an improved towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds, it’s ready to take on any adventure, whether it's hauling gear for a weekend getaway or tackling tough jobs.

In a competitive landscape filled with options from Ford, Toyota, and Nissan, the Colorado stands out not just for its capabilities but for its versatility. Get ready to hit the road with the 2025 Colorado! Whether you need a dependable workhorse or an adventurous companion for your weekend getaways, this versatile truck has you covered. Make the most of the vibrant fall season—take a drive at Mid Missouri Powerhouse and find the vehicle that’ll enhance every outing.
