Why Buy a Used Chevy Equinox SUV

Chevrolet is well-known for building reliable, affordable SUVs, and nowhere are those positives more plainly felt than when you’re looking to buy a used SUV. The Chevrolet Equinox is a great SUV to buy pre-owned, because of its affordability, good fuel economy, a wealth of options, and more. In fact, it’s easy to see why it’s one of the more popular used cars for sale on the market today, but let’s take a closer look! 

A Used Chevy Equinox is More Affordable than a New SUV

One of the more obvious benefits of buying any used car is its affordability. New cars depreciate famously quickly, by up to 30% in the first few years of ownership. By buying used, you let someone else eat that loss, and you can enjoy a car for far longer without worrying about its trade-in value.

The build quality of the Chevrolet Equinox ensures you’ll get even more value out of a used model, since it’ll depreciate slower than some other used SUVs, and you’ll be able to drive it more and take it to the mechanic less. This simple economic calculation can end up saving you thousands of dollars over the years you own your car.

The Equinox’s Great Fuel Economy Pits it Against New Cars

Of course, fuel economy has been improving on average for years, as a combination of technological advances and governmental requirements and incentives. However, the Chevy Equinox has been getting great gas mileage for years, and used models can be on par with, or even better than, brand-new sedans or compact cars, all in a spacious SUV body.

With Equinox, you can experience the easy handling and peace of mind of an SUV with the fuel economy of a much smaller vehicle. In fact, depending on the year and trim you choose, your Equinox can achieve anywhere from 22-28 mpg in the city, to 28-39 mpg on the highway! With the price of gas more volatile than ever, buying a used Equinox is a great way to make sure you save at the pump.

A Large Variety of Engines and SUV Choices

One benefit of shopping for a used car that might not have occurred to you is the greater variety of available vehicles that used vehicles provide over new. If you limit yourself to the newest model year, each manufacturer will only have so many vehicles to choose from – but if you widen your search to include used models, you can look at each model year’s cars, with all their various benefits, giving you overall a much larger pool to choose from.

With the Chevy Equinox in specific, models since 2018 have had three excellent engines to choose from. There’s a robust 1.5L 4-cylinder pulling 170 hp, a 2.0L turbocharged engine with up to 252 hp, and a 1.6L diesel that packs up to 137 hp. Older models, such as the 2014 Chevy Equinox, also feature a V6 engine that pulls up to 301 hp, for the ultimate in power.
