2020 Chevrolet Equinox 2020 Chevrolet Equinox A high volume and high value player in the crossover segment, the trade-in landscape for the Chevrolet Equinox is defined by a massive supply of former lease and fleet vehicles, making the distinction between "Average" and "Excellent" condition worth thousands of dollars. If you are looking to trade in your Equinox, here is what you need to know about the current market shifts. The Volume Play: 3rd Generation (2018–2024) The current gas-powered Equinox is a staple of dealer inventories. Because there are so many of these vehicles available, dealers are incredibly picky. The Trim Gap: The RS and Premier trims hold their value significantly better than the base LS. In 2026, features like the "Confidence & Convenience" package (blind-spot monitoring and power liftgate) are considered mandatory for a top-tier trade-in offer. The Fleet Discount: Be aware that many Equinoxes started life as rental cars. If your Carfax shows a "Fleet" history, expect a $1,000–$1,500 deduction from the "Average" trade-in value, as dealers find these harder to sell to retail customers. The V6 Hidden Gem (2013–2017) Most Equinoxes from this era came with a 2.4L four-cylinder engine. However, Chevy offered a 3.6L V6 that produced a stout 301 horsepower. In the 2026 used market, these V6 models are increasingly sought after by buyers who want towing capability (up to 3,500 lbs) without moving up to a larger Traverse. If you have a V6 LTZ, emphasize the engine to the appraiser-it's a rare selling point. 2026 Market Tip: The "EV Shadow" With the Equinox EV now a major player in Chevy showrooms, gas-powered Equinoxes are facing stiffer internal competition. Dealers are often aggressive with trade-in offers if you are moving into an Equinox EV, sometimes offering "Trade-In Vouchers" to bridge the gap between your car's book value and your remaining loan balance. 2024 Chevrolet Equinox 2024 Chevrolet Equinox 3rd Generation (2018–2024) The most current gas-powered body style. These models are valued for their 1.5L Turbo efficiency and updated tech.

Unlike Toyotas, which buyers will trust well past 150k, the Equinox's secondary market demand softens considerably once it nears the six-figure odometer mark. If you're at 75,000 miles today, now is the time to get an appraisal. 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross SE: All the Details
