The Chevrolet Equinox is a five-passenger, two-row SUV sized for city driving and built to handle a full Illinois winter. Marino Chevrolet stocks the new Chevy Equinox for sale for drivers across Chicago, Portage Park, and Jefferson Park, Illinois. Two rows, 183.2 inches of overall length, and a footprint that fits a residential side street without a three-point turn. That combination is why the Equinox works here: a Kennedy Expressway commute on Monday, and a Saturday run out to Montrose Beach with the rear seats folded flat. Scroll the Equinox inventory above to see what is on the ground right now, then use the guide below to narrow it down.
Pick LT for heated seats and the core tech, RS for blacked-out styling and bigger wheels, or ACTIV for all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension. All three run the same 1.5L Turbo engine at 175 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque with a standard Drive Mode Selector, so your decision comes down to equipment and looks rather than performance. The table below breaks down all three models side by side, comparing the everyday features, wheels and styling, and the type of Chicago driver each one fits best:
|
Trim Levels |
Everyday Features |
Wheels and Styling |
Best Fit For |
| LT | Heated front seats and heated steering wheel, 11.3-inch touchscreen, available HD Surround Vision | Standard exterior treatment, new Autumn Harvest Metallic paint available | Drivers who want winter comfort features without paying up the lineup |
| RS | Flat-bottom steering wheel, 11.3-inch touchscreen, available wireless phone charging | Black mirrors, moldings, emblems and badging; standard 19-inch and available 20-inch machined wheels; available two-tone black roof | Shoppers who want street presence on a daily commuter |
| ACTIV | Evotex and sueded microfiber seating surfaces, uniquely tuned suspension | All-terrain tires, available two-tone white roof | Weekend trips to the dunes, gravel access roads, and rough winter pavement |
All-wheel drive is available across the lineup, and paired with the 1.5L Turbo it takes the Equinox up to 1,500 lbs. of towing when properly equipped.* That covers a small utility trailer, and AWD is the box worth checking before January arrives on the side streets around Six Corners.
Use the filters above this text to cut the lineup down to the two or three listings you actually want to drive. Results reflect current inventory, so what you see is on the lot.
Open any listing to pull up the full equipment list and photos of that exact vehicle, then send it to our team, and we will have the keys ready when you get here.
Start with the online finance application, which takes a few minutes and gives our team what it needs before you arrive. Marino Chevrolet works with GM Financial and Chicago-area credit unions, so several lenders review the same application instead of a single one. That flexibility matters for first-time buyers wrapping up at Wilbur Wright College, for households adding a second vehicle, and for drivers rebuilding credit. Value your trade at the same time, since equity in your current vehicle lowers the amount you finance. Leasing tends to suit steady, predictable mileage, like the same Irving Park Road route five days a week. Financing makes more sense if you plan to keep the Equinox well past the loan. Business owners connected to the Six Corners Association can ask about commercial and fleet programs early, because those terms sometimes change which model is the smarter buy.
