If you’ve been planning on checking out a 2025 Chevy Equinox for sale, you probably already know that it’s a compact SUV with AWD capabilities and a nice towing capacity to boot. You probably also know that it comes in several well-planned trims, appealing to a variety of drivers, from practical commuters to performance enthusiasts. You probably already know that it comes with a really attractive MSRP, but did you know that it’s also loaded with technology features that will almost make you feel like you’re driving a modern office on wheels?
If you plan out every part of your day down to five-minute increments, then you know how useful advanced technology is in streamlining your life. I know I juggle a day job, a side hustle, a busy social life, and family obligations. Put simply, I can’t miss a beat and need a car that can keep up with me. I really like how the 2025 Equinox comes with so many thoughtful standard tech features that keep me connected and in command of my busy schedule. Because they’re standard, you can get these, no matter which trim you prefer. So don’t let tech concerns influence your trim choice. You’re covered no matter which model you choose. I’ll go into the standard tech features of the 2025 Equinox below.
Wireless Smartphone Compatibility
By now, we all know how inconvenient and even dangerous it is to look down at our little phone screens when we’re on the road. Whether it’s to see who is calling (and possibly screen them), pause our podcast, see the next navigational direction, or review the weather report, looking at our small phones when driving is not a good idea. Luckily, the 2025 Equinox lets you not only project what’s on your Apple or Android phone screen onto the vehicle’s touchscreen, but it even lets you do so without USB cords.
In many competitor models, wireless smartphone compatibility is only available in the upper trims. But those who opt for the most affordable base trim are usually stuck having to use their USB cords to enjoy smartphone connectivity in competitor models. Not so in the 2025 Equinox. You can keep that USB cord neatly tucked away in your laptop bag or purse. I personally find that USB cord, dangling between my front two seats, annoying. It gets in the way of too many other vehicle components when driving, so I love keeping it out of the picture and still seeing my phone’s contents projected on the big touchscreen.
An 11.3-inch Diagonal Advanced Color LCD Display With Google built-in
So now I’ve already teased the idea of how big the 2025 Equinox’s touchscreen is. Let’s get into specifics: it’s 11.3 inches! That’s a pretty massive touchscreen. Here’s the other cool thing: it has Google built-in. That means you can use Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play in your car. I personally find Google Assistant to be something I really enjoy in my vehicle.
How often are you driving and suddenly have a burning question you want an answer to? For me, it’s practically every 10 minutes. Maybe I’m planning my weekend and want to know if that new thriller movie is out in theaters yet. Maybe I just want recommendations for great Indian restaurants in my neighborhood to decide where to get takeout from. All I have to do in the 2025 Equinox is use my voice and ask Google Assistant my question, and I’ll get an immediate answer. It’s really helpful because, without Google Assistant, I just have to hope I remember to look up the information once I’m parked (which I rarely do).
Wi-Fi Hotspot Capability
I don’t know about you, but I’ve personally grown accustomed to having access to Wi-Fi everywhere I go. Today, we’re in shock if a hotel, restaurant, airport, or coffee shop doesn’t have Wi-Fi. So, shouldn’t we hold our vehicle to the same standard? I know I do, which is why I love that the 2025 Equinox has Wi-Fi hotspot capability. With Wi-Fi in my vehicle, I don’t have to use up any of my monthly phone data plans to do things like download podcast episodes or look up the hours of operation of a restaurant. You could probably name countless things you need the internet for while on the go. With Wi-Fi in your car, you don’t have to pull over and buy a latte to use a coffee shop’s Wi-Fi.
An 11-Inch Color Driver Information Center
I’m not a big car person, per se, but there are some basic things I know I should understand about my car. And the 11-inch color Driver Information Center on the 2025 Equinox shares that info with me. It can show me things like my speedometer (to help me avoid a ticket), engine temperature (to know if I need a visit to the auto shop), fuel level (to know when it’s time to get gas), and mileage (to know if I’m almost at my destination).
You can also customize the screen to decide what it shows you. It’s fully reconfigurable and high definition, so you won’t find yourself squinting to check your fuel levels or battery status. You can choose between five visual themes: single gauge, dual gauge, driver assistance, map and clean. So it’s really easy to just see the information that’s most useful to you.
Front and Rear USB Ports
I personally can’t stand it when I’m driving, and my passengers tap me on the shoulder and ask me to plug in their phones for them. I am not a taxi service or a personal assistant. But, I get it: when there’s just one USB port and it’s in the front of a vehicle, your rear seat passengers are at your mercy when they need to plug in their devices. So, it’s nice that the 2025 Equinox has front and rear USB ports, so my rear seat passengers can plug in, without bothering me.
Streamline Your Life With the 2025 Chevy Equinox
By now, you’re probably wondering how you ever drove a vehicle that didn’t have the standard tech perks of the 2025 Equinox. These are modern times, and we can no longer wait to get to our destination to look up instructions, Google something, or plug in our devices. With the 2025 Equinox’s generous suite of standard technology features, you can handle all your technology needs, right in your vehicle. Plus, its trims are perfectly planned, so whether you’re most interested in a fuel-efficient, practical daily driver, a stylish and fun-to-drive performance vehicle, or a more athletic SUV, there’s an Equinox for you.
Ready to experience a compact SUV that is as good as (if not better than) your actual office in terms of technology? Check out the 2025 Equinox at your local dealer. This Chevy favorite has proven that must-have tech doesn’t have to be limited to higher-end trims. If you’re in the market for a compact SUV and don’t want to compromise on the tech that helps keep your day moving forward, you owe it to yourself to get behind the wheel of the 2025 Chevy Equinox for a test drive.
