Is the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox reliable?

Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary describes the Equinox as dependable and economical for family needs, and it also points to a trouble-free, count-on-it character that many shoppers want in a used crossover. The expert notes reinforce that impression by describing the Equinox as a solid pick for most families based on its versatility and availability.

Chevrolet’s MyLink system is described as reliable, and the cost-effectiveness notes also cite a 5/5 mechanical reliability score from J.D. Power and Associates. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that age and mileage can expose wear items and condition-related issues, so maintenance history matters.

What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Chevrolet Equinox?

At 60.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing has any accident record or incomplete service history. Focus on body condition, tire wear, rear-camera operation, and signs that the vehicle has been maintained consistently. Because this model year is an older crossover, condition matters more than mileage alone.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base L is the most stripped-down version, while the LS adds satellite radio and body-colored exterior panels. The 1LT brings a 7-inch touchscreen MyLink radio, backup camera, and leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the 2LT adds heated front seats, a premium stereo, and automatic climate control. The LTZ is the most feature-rich trim, with rear park assist, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, halogen headlamps, and a power rear liftgate.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or an optional 3.6-liter V6. The four-cylinder is the efficiency-minded choice, with EPA ratings of 22 mpg city and 32 highway in front-wheel-drive form, while the V6 is better if you want stronger towing ability and is rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
• Safety package: Higher 2LT and LTZ trims add frontal-collision alert, lane-departure warnings, and parking sensors. Every trim except the base L includes a rear-facing parking camera, so base-trim shoppers give up one of the most useful everyday safety aids.
• Infotainment: The 1LT adds a 7-inch touchscreen MyLink radio, and the system supports Bluetooth streaming plus Pandora and Stitcher capabilities. The Equinox also includes 4G/LTE hotspot capability, and higher trims can be fitted with dual rear-screen entertainment systems.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.4-liter four-cylinder is rated at 22 mpg city and 32 highway in front-wheel-drive form, with about a 10 percent reduction in all-wheel-drive versions. The 3.6-liter V6 is rated at 17 mpg city and 24 highway, with another 10 percent reduction for all-wheel drive.

Which 2015 Chevrolet Equinox trim should I buy?

The 2015 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in 5 trim levels: L, LS, 1LT, 2LT, LTZ.

Here's the short version:

• L: This is the simplest way into the Equinox, with the 2.4-liter engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, Bluetooth phone, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and 60/40-split folding rear seats. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost entry point, but you give up the rear camera and most convenience upgrades.
• LS: This trim adds satellite radio with a 3-month trial and some body-colored exterior panels. It is a modest step up from the L, but it still stays fairly basic.
• 1LT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the 7-inch touchscreen MyLink radio, backup camera, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and available 18-inch wheels. If you want the most useful everyday upgrades without moving too far up the price ladder, this is the trim to target.
• 2LT: This trim adds heated front seats, a premium stereo, automatic climate control, and optional leather and navigation. It is a better fit if you want more comfort and a more upscale feel for daily driving.
• LTZ: This is the most fully equipped version, with rear park assist, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, halogen headlamps, and a power rear liftgate. It suits you best if you want the most safety and convenience equipment available.

Safety equipment is standard on higher 2LT and LTZ trims, while the base L misses the rear camera.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Chevrolet Equinox?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient and focused.

• Deal availability: 27.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,825 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.42% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,173, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox's resale value?

The current average of $8,253 sits slightly below last year's $8,635.

That softer pricing suggests the Equinox has already absorbed some of its depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you purchase near the low end of the range and keep the vehicle in clean condition, you may have a better chance of limiting your loss later. The market still values this model’s practicality and broad appeal, but age and equipment level will continue to shape resale strength.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox safe?

The Chevrolet Equinox received a 4-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, including a 5-star rating for side impact crashes and 4 stars for front and rollover crashes. Similarly, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Equinox a Good rating in all categories—small and moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints and seats.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Equinox comes standard with 4-wheel antilock brakes, tire pressure monitoring, daytime running lamps, driver and passenger airbags with side-impact bags, and head curtains up front. Higher 2LT and LTZ trims add frontal-collision alert, lane-departure warnings, and parking sensors, while every trim except the base L includes a rear-facing parking camera.

Should I buy a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 27.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.42% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary says it is a popular family crossover with a tried-and-true approach, but it falls short of rivals in features and fuel economy.

The bottom line: The 2015 Equinox makes the most sense if you want a straightforward, widely available used crossover and you’re willing to shop carefully for condition and equipment. If you’re price-sensitive, this year can still be a smart buy, especially when you find a clean example near the low end of the market range.
