- Replacing the Chevrolet Equinox is crucial since it is the third best-selling model of the brand in the entire NAFTA region, behind the Silverado pickup and the Cruze sedan. In 2016, it still represents 10% of Chevrolet sales in this region, despite a decline of 17% compared to 2015, from 300,000 units to 250,000.
- The Chevrolet Equinox was previously equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.4l petrol 182hp or a 6-cylinder 3.6l petrol 300hp engine. The new generation emphasizes the downsizing by adopting a 4-cylinder turbo petrol 1.5l, a 4-cylinder turbo petrol 2.0l and a new 4-cylinder turbo diesel 1.6l engine.
- With an all-new platform, the new Chevrolet Equinox is announced as losing 180 kilograms compared to the previous generation, 10% of its total weight, which has made possible this downsizing.
- The equivalent model sold under the GMC brand, called Terrain should be replaced next year by a new generation derived from the Chevrolet Equinox. It is to note that the Terrain is the smallest model of GMC.
