Here at Jim Butler Chevy of St. Louis, we’ve proudly watched the Chevrolet Equinox evolve into one of the most trusted names in the crossover SUV segment for over two decades. The 2025 model maintains this momentum, offering a smart blend of comfort, capability, and style that continues to meet the needs of drivers throughout the St. Louis metro area.
The Equinox ACTIV, in particular, stands out with its adventurous spirit and confident design. It builds on the foundation that’s made the Equinox a household name—affordable, versatile, and incredibly user-friendly—while adding a bold new attitude that’s ready for backroads and unpredictable weather alike.
Built for Balance, Styled for Adventure
Under the hood, the ACTIV features Chevrolet’s proven 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive. That means you’re getting dependable performance and confident handling, whether you’re navigating the city or exploring gravel roads on the weekend. It’s not about high-octane thrills here—it’s about smooth, capable driving that just works.
What makes the ACTIV shine is its design: all-terrain-inspired tires, robust body cladding, and an eye-catching two-tone white roof that give it a rugged edge, setting it apart from the crowd. The Cacti Green exterior finish turns heads, and we’ve found that customers love how the ACTIV balances sophistication and rugged charm in equal measure.
Confidence Off the Pavement
While it’s not designed to be a rock-crawling off-roader, the Equinox ACTIV feels remarkably at home on gravel, dirt roads, and during inclement weather—exactly the kind of real-world conditions Missouri drivers often face. With selectable drive modes, traction-optimized AWD, and smart technology working behind the scenes, the ACTIV brings an added layer of confidence to your daily drive.
Inside, the ACTIV offers a warm and inviting cabin with premium touches like Maple Sugar suede accents, ventilated seats, and available heated rear seats. It feels refreshingly upscale, especially for the price point.
Value That Makes Sense
The 2025 Chevy Equinox ACTIV offers outstanding value for drivers looking to blend rugged style with everyday functionality. With bold design elements and an array of modern tech features, this SUV brings a lot to the table. Many of our in-stock models come equipped with customer-favorite upgrades like the Safety & Technology Package. This includes advanced features like a 360-degree camera and rear pedestrian alert, and the Convenience Package II, offering enhanced comfort with premium seating options.
For comparison, other stylish soft-roaders in the segment—like the Toyota RAV4 Woodland Edition and Subaru Forester Wilderness—hover in the same pricing ballpark. The Equinox ACTIV competes well, especially for shoppers who prefer Chevrolet’s balance of American design, reliability, and comfort.
Room for More Than Just Adventure
Beyond its rugged charm and confident performance, the 2025 Equinox ACTIV is also designed with practicality in mind. With generous cargo space, flexible rear seating, and smart storage throughout the cabin, it easily adapts to the needs of busy families, weekend warriors, and everyday commuters alike. Whether you’re loading up for a road trip or hauling gear to the game, the Equinox makes it easy to stay organized and on the move.
Add in Chevrolet’s latest infotainment system—with an intuitive touchscreen, seamless smartphone integration, and available Wi-Fi hotspot—and you’ve got a crossover that keeps everyone connected and comfortable no matter where the road leads.
Why St. Louis Drivers Are Choosing the 2025 Equinox ACTIV
We’ll be the first to say it: Chevy’s done an impressive job evolving the Equinox for today’s SUV shopper. The ACTIV model, in particular, gives you an edge of adventure without complicating your daily routine. While hybrid options aren’t available on this trim just yet, for many of our customers, the confident AWD performance, elevated design, and value-driven packages more than make up the difference.
If you’re searching for a vehicle that’s stylish, practical, and just a little more adventurous, the 2025 Equinox ACTIV is absolutely worth a look.
