Compact SUV · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2005 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact suv we track across the used market in Canada. It's rated at about 494 km of electric range, so the real questions are price, charging and how it holds value. A 20-year-old one keeps roughly 5% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
