Bob Boyte Chevrolet – How to Choose Your 2025 Chevrolet Equinox Trim for Coastal Drives around Mobile, AL
Choosing the right compact SUV often comes down to the details that fit your everyday life. For many Gulf Coast drivers, that means a confident blend of flexible cargo space, intuitive tech, and relaxed long-haul comfort. The 2025 Equinox lineup—LT, RS, and the first-ever ACTIV—gives you three distinctive flavors of the same thoughtful formula. Across them, you’ll find an 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen oriented toward the driver, an 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, Google built-in for voice commands and apps, and Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Available OnStar® adds another layer of safety, convenience, and entertainment support when life gets busy.
If you’re planning weekend loops to barrier islands, kids’ tournaments, or a photography run at sunset, the Equinox makes preparation easier. A roomy cargo area, a folding 60/40 split-bench, and hidden storage under the rear cargo floor keep gear secure and out of sight. When your hands are full, the available hands-free AutoSense Power Liftgate opens with a simple gesture. Standard Chevy Safety Assist brings peace of mind with core features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam®. Available HD Surround Vision and Reverse Automatic Braking add extra confidence in crowded lots and tight marina spaces.
To help you narrow the field, start with how you’ll use your SUV most days. If your daily rhythm is a mix of office commutes and after-school stops, LT is the formidable baseline—refined, well-equipped, and easy to live with. Drivers who want a dash of street presence will gravitate to RS for its striking Black accents, flat-bottom steering wheel, and unique RS grille and front fascia. If your weekends veer toward unpaved turnouts or nearby trailheads, ACTIV answers with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, and available two-tone White roof and roof rails to secure bulkier gear. Whichever trim you choose, the advanced 1.5L Turbo engine anchors the lineup with responsive passing and relaxed highway cruising, while available all-wheel drive helps keep momentum when roads turn slick or sandy. You can tow up to 1,500 lbs—plenty for small trailers or a couple of kayaks—so last-minute plans stay on the calendar instead of the cutting room floor.
Below is a quick trim snapshot to guide your short list:
- LT: Everyday essentials balanced with comfort, highlighted by the 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen, 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center, and a refined cabin that feels quiet and composed.
- RS: Sporty flair with a unique RS-only grille and front fascia, Black emblems and badging, Black roof rails and mirror caps, 19-inch machined wheels, and a flat-bottom steering wheel for a confident feel.
- ACTIV: Adventure-forward stance with all-terrain tires, a uniquely tuned suspension, available two-tone White roof, roof rails for larger gear, and Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is all-wheel drive worth it if I mostly drive on highways?
For Gulf Coast weather and occasional sandy or rain-slick surfaces, available AWD adds traction and composure without changing the Equinox’s easygoing highway character. It’s a smart upgrade if you take spontaneous detours to beaches or trailheads.
How much can the 2025 Equinox tow?
The Equinox is rated for up to 1,500 lbs of towing capacity, ideal for a lightweight utility trailer, a pair of jet skis, or a small camper—perfect for quick escapes that don’t require a full-size truck.
What tech stands out on road trips?
The 11.3-inch diagonal infotainment touch-screen, Google built-in, and Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility keep navigation, playlists, and calls at your fingertips. Available OnStar® and the Rear Camera Mirror make long stretches feel simpler and more secure.
Which trims include advanced safety features?
Every 2025 Equinox includes Chevy Safety Assist standard. You can also add available HD Surround Vision and Reverse Automatic Braking for finer low-speed control when parking or maneuvering.
