Used 2023 Chevy Equinox SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Equinox comes in four trim levels: LS, LT, RS and Premier. Each is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (175 horsepower, 203 lb-ft of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Feature highlights include:

LS
The base Equinox comes with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights with automatic high beams
  • Keyless entry and push-button ignition
  • Heated exterior mirrors
  • 7-inch touchscreen
  • Six-speaker audio system
  • Satellite radio
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity)
  • Two USB ports
  • 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot

The Equinox also comes standard with driver aids such as:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Equinox back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Rear-seat reminder (alerts you to check the rear seat before exiting the vehicle)
  • Automatic high beams

You can also opt for the LS Convenience package that adds:

  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Enhanced multi-color driver information display
  • Rear privacy glass

Stand-alone options include:

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Rear parking sensors

The Midnight and Sport Editions are two new packages available for the LS trim this year. Both include the same features, the only difference being the Midnight Edition's black metallic exterior paint. Both packages include:

  • 18-inch gloss black wheels
  • Front and rear black badges
  • Body-color mirror housings

LT
Our recommended trim level adds:

  • LS Convenience package
  • Added chrome and body-color exterior trim
  • Remote rear-seat folding levers
  • Illuminated sun visors

Several packages are available for the LT trim, including:

  • Confidence & Convenience package:
    • Remote engine start
    • Dual-zone automatic climate control
    • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
    • Heated front seats
    • Power liftgate
    • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Safety and Infotainment package:
    • 8-inch touchscreen
    • High-definition backup camera
    • 120-volt household-style power outlet
    • Two additional USB ports (four total)
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts the speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)

RS
Has more standard features and a sportier look thanks to:

  • Features from the LT's Confidence & Convenience package
  • Black-painted 19-inch wheels
  • Black interior with red stitching
  • Unique shift knob
  • Power liftgate
  • Roof rails

The RS trim offers a unique RS Leather package with:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Seven-speaker Bose sound system

Many of the LT options and packages are also available for the RS, including the Safety and Infotainment package and a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic warning.

Premier
Includes all the LT content, plus the Confidence & Convenience package. It also adds:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Ambient cabin lighting
  • Wireless charging pad
  • 120-volt power outlet
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Upgraded backup camera
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Leather upholstery
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

The Premier isn't fully loaded out of the box, however. You can also add:

  • Confidence & Convenience II package
    • Power-adjustable passenger seat
    • Ventilated front seats
    • Heated rear seats
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts the speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Equinox and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Driver Confidence III package
    • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts the speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
    • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Equinox and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
    • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Infotainment II package (requires Confidence & Convenience II package)
    • Navigation system
    • Seven-speaker Bose premium sound system

A panoramic sunroof is also available for all but the LS base trim.

Which Equinox trim does Edmunds recommend?

We like the LT because it offers a wide range of standard and optional features at a reasonable price. We'd add the Safety and Infotainment and Confidence and Convenience packages for the larger touchscreen, heated front seats and adaptive cruise control. But there are several other packages and à la carte options that allow you to tailor the Equinox to your tastes.
