Fuel economy in context
Among the 5 compact SUVs tracked here, EPA combined ratings run from 28 to 30 MPG, averaging 29.2 MPG.
At 28 MPG combined, the Chevrolet Equinox ties for the lowest combined rating in the group.
A taller ride height and larger frontal area than a sedan increases aerodynamic drag, which shows up most at highway speed where drag dominates fuel use. Many vehicles in this class are also offered with all wheel drive, which adds driveline friction and typically costs a mile or two per gallon compared to the front wheel drive version of the same model, so confirm which drivetrain a specific listing has before comparing it to the rating shown here.
Its own EPA numbers show a 5 MPG spread between 26 in the city and 31 on the highway, the usual pattern for a gasoline vehicle since the EPA highway test has no stop and go traffic to slow it down.
EPA's annual fuel cost estimate for the Chevrolet Equinox assumes 15,000 miles of driving a year at its 28 MPG combined rating, priced at EPA's own assumed national average fuel cost, working out to about $2,150 a year, or roughly $179 a month for an average driver. That works out to roughly 1,433 gallons a year at EPA's assumed price, though your own annual cost will differ based on how many miles you actually drive and the fuel price where you live, which is exactly what the calculator above lets you adjust.
Cargo and passenger load
Cargo and passenger loading matters more for a compact SUV than for a larger one, since a full load of people and gear is a bigger fraction of the vehicle's own weight. Expect a noticeably lower average on a fully loaded family trip than on a solo commute.

Frequently asked questions
Among the 5 compact SUVs tracked on this site, combined ratings run from 28 to 30 MPG. The Chevrolet Equinox's own 28 MPG combined rating sits at the bottom of that range, though what counts as "good" ultimately depends on what you're cross shopping it against.

Combined is a weighted average of the Chevrolet Equinox's separate city and highway EPA test results, typically weighted about 55% city and 45% highway to represent a realistic mix of driving. Its own EPA numbers show a 5 MPG spread between 26 in the city and 31 on the highway, the usual pattern for a gasoline vehicle since the EPA highway test has no stop and go traffic to slow it down.
The Chevrolet Equinox is rated at 310 grams of CO2 per mile. This figure is calculated directly from the fuel consumed during EPA's test cycles, so a vehicle's CO2 rating and its fuel economy rating always move together: better fuel economy means lower emissions per mile, one to one.
At its 28 MPG combined rating, the Chevrolet Equinox would need roughly 17.9 gallons to cover 500 miles, which at a placeholder price of $1.50 per gallon works out to about $27. Use the calculator above with your own trip distance and local fuel price for a precise figure.
No, the EPA rating shown here is fixed to this specific model year and trim; it doesn't change as the model ages or as newer model years are released. This site's figures were last confirmed against official EPA data on 2026-07-23, and a vehicle's own individual real-world fuel economy can still drift over its life due to wear, tire condition, and maintenance history, separate from the fixed EPA number.
