Hi all. What vehicles share powertrain design with the ‘25 Equinox AWD? I see the Activ and RS have the 8-speed and would like to know more about it.

From what I know, the Equinox powertrain is similar to what’s in the GMC Terrain. They both share a lot of the same internals, especially in the 8-speed setups. I’ve also heard the same transmission is used in some Buick models, but not 100% sure which ones.

Thanks, I thought the Terrain might have some similarities, but wasn’t sure. Do you know if there’s a big difference between the Activ and RS powertrains?

They’re mostly the same, but the RS might have a different tuning on the engine and transmission for a sportier feel. So the basics like the engine and gearbox are the same, but RS models usually get a little tweak in how the power is delivered.
