    Moose’s Verdict

    Too many miles, too much money.

    The redesigned 2025 Equinox is a solid compact SUV — good tech, comfortable ride, decent fuel economy. But 40,410 miles on a one-year-old vehicle is nearly triple the normal pace, and $24,660 is roughly $2,000 over what comparable 40k-mile 2025 Equinox LTs actually sell for. Heavy miles plus an above-market price is a bad combination. The dealer is reputable, but the numbers don’t work here. Pass.

    Price vs Market
    $24,660 sits ~$2k above comparable 2025 Equinox LTs with ~40k miles ($21,998–$23,948).

    ★★★★★

    Maintenance & Reliability
    2025 is a full redesign year — the 1.5L turbo is proven, but the CVT pairing is new and long-term data is thin.

    ★★★★★

    Fuel Economy
    26 city / 28 highway — competitive for the class, nothing to complain about.

    ★★★★★
