Which was the best year for a used Chevy Equinox?
I don’t know much about cars, but I’m looking for a used one, and I’ve driven my mom’s Chevy Equinox more than anything else. I figured I’d just get a used Equinox and keep it simple. But which was the best year for a used Chevy Equinox? What year should I try and find?

The
Chevy Equinox
is popular because it’s affordable and functional. The best year for a used Chevy Equinox was the 2009, or 2021 model if you’re looking for something newer.The 2018 and 2019 Equinoxes had the most NHTSA recalls, with the 2007 model not far behind. Meanwhile, ** 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011 Equinox models racked up the most NHTSA complaints**.
The 2007 Chevy Equinox was arguably the worst for the nameplate, and those other model years should also be avoided.
If you’re buying an older Equinox, the 2009 model is regarded as the best from the line. If you’re shopping for a newer one, the 2017 and 2021 Chevy Equinox are also top choices. We’d go with the 2021 Chevy Equinox if the price point is agreeable, since it has modern safety and comfort features and presumably has lower mileage.
Shopping around is encouraged when looking for a new car. We strongly recommend test driving some of the top competitors of the Chevy Equinox: the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, GMC Terrain, Mazda CX-5, and Kia Sportage are all excellent alternatives—some might argue they’re even better overall—and well worth test driving.
