Question 1

What powertrains are offered on the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2023 Equinox is available exclusively with the turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder producing 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available as an option on LT and RS trims. There is no longer a 2.0L engine option as it was discontinued from the lineup. The 2023 Equinox represents the final model year of the second generation before the planned introduction of the Equinox EV and an upcoming refresh of the gasoline model. Canadian trim levels are L, LS, LT, and RS. The L starts around $28,798 CAD, the LS around $31,498, the LT around $34,998, and the RS around $39,498 before options and taxes.

Question 2

Is the 2023 Equinox a good choice for a Canadian family seeking a versatile compact SUV?

Accepted Answer

The Equinox is consistently one of Canada's best-selling compact SUVs, valued for its competitive price, generous passenger space, and extensive dealer network. Cargo volume is 848 litres behind the second row, expanding to 1,798 litres with seats folded — competitive in its class. Sliding and reclining rear seats let drivers trade legroom for cargo space. Chevrolet Safety Assist (automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control) is standard on LS and above. For Canadian winters, the available AWD system engages automatically at speeds up to 40 km/h. The 2023 Equinox is a solid, pragmatic choice — not the most exciting in its segment, but reliable, well-supported, and competitively priced, making it an excellent first-time or family purchase. The 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty is one of the best in class.

Question 3

What is the fuel economy of the 2023 Equinox and what are its maintenance costs in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The 2023 Equinox FWD is rated by Natural Resources Canada at approximately 9.5 L/100 km city and 7.6 L/100 km highway, for a combined rating of 8.6 L/100 km. With AWD, the combined rating increases by approximately 0.5 L/100 km. At $1.65/L (approximate national average), annual fuel cost for 20,000 km is approximately $2,800–$3,000. GM's oil life monitor recommends oil change intervals of 12,000–16,000 km depending on driving conditions. Average annual maintenance cost for a 2023 Equinox in Canada is estimated at $500–$700 for routine service. The 5-year/100,000 km powertrain warranty is among the best in the compact SUV segment, offering long-term peace of mind. Chevrolet's dealer network coverage across Canada, including rural areas of Ontario and the Prairies, is an additional ownership advantage.
