In many ways, the new Chevrolet Equinox is one of the best small SUVs. However, this is not the case for its resale value. J.D. Power only gave it a 77 out of 100 in this regard. While there are much worse scores a vehicle could get, one would expect the Equinox to retain more of its value as it’s so highly rated. In fact, this is the vehicle’s only ‘average’ score from the marketing research firm.

A vehicle having a good resale value score is important to many buyers. This is especially the case for people who don’t tend to keep their vehicles for long and seek to sell or trade them in relatively quickly. However, this area of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox may not matter as much to those who plan to keep it long-term. The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox has the same score. However, both models have an overall score of 85.
