Chevrolet Equinox Depreciation & Resale Value

Chevrolet Equinox keeps an estimated 57% of its recent market value after 5 years — #272 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Chevrolet Equinox retains an estimated 57% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #272 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Chevrolet Equinox sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $27,995 it falls to around $15,845 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,150, about $6.66 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Chevrolet Equinox bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
