2014 Chevrolet Equinox: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is essentially a carryover from 2013. Its only notable adjustment is that alloy wheels moved from standard to optional equipment on the LTZ trim.
About the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox
2nd generation (2010-2017), pre-refresh fifth model year.
Chevrolet positioned the Equinox as a family-focused crossover that balances comfort, fuel economy, and everyday flexibility. The brochure leans on quiet-cabin details, the roomy sliding rear seat, cargo versatility, and easy phone/music connectivity rather than sporty driving. For many shoppers, the Equinox's appeal was a calm highway ride and generous back-seat space, with the added bonus that LT and LTZ could be ordered with a stronger V6 for more effortless passing or towing.
The 2014 lineup runs from the practical LS to the better-connected LT and comfort-focused LTZ. The LT has a 7-inch touchscreen and rearview camera, while the LTZ adds leather seating, a power liftgate, parking sensors, and forward-collision and lane-departure warnings. Every trim retains the sliding and reclining rear seat, and some LT and LTZ models have the stronger 3.6-liter V6 instead of the standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder.

2014 Chevrolet Equinox
(42 reviews)
“The Chevy Equinox is easy to drive, turns really well, and is easy to back up with the back-up camera. It gets great gas mileage and is our family travel car. The only negative is the blind spots on the front sides of the car due to where the airbags are located.”
“A very comfortable car which I enjoy to go to work and travel with my family. Totally recommended.”
