The Best Used Chevy SUVs to Buy

Chevrolet has one of the broadest SUV lineups in the business, covering everything from subcompact crossovers to full-size SUVs that can tow a boat. That range is a real advantage for dealers, because Chevy SUVs attract buyers across almost every segment of the market. Whether a customer needs a practical daily driver, a family hauler with three rows, or a capable full-size that can pull serious weight, there is a used Chevy that fits the bill. These five models represent the strongest wholesale picks across Chevy's SUV lineup, with solid reliability scores, broad buyer appeal, and proven track records on the lot.

Top Used Chevy SUV Car Models

2022 Chevrolet Equinox

The Equinox is Chevy's best-selling SUV and one of the most in-demand compact crossovers in the used market. The 2022 model got a refresh with updated exterior styling, a new RS trim, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added as standard across all trims.¹ It runs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder producing 170 hp with a six-speed automatic, rated at 26 mpg city / 31 mpg highway in front-wheel drive.¹ Every trim includes Chevy's Safety Assist package, which covers forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning as standard.¹ The 2022 Equinox earned a predicted reliability score of 90 out of 100, one of the highest in the compact SUV class, and Consumer Reports rated it as more reliable than other vehicles from the same model year.²

2020 Chevrolet Blazer

Three engine options are available: a base 193 hp four-cylinder rated at 21 mpg city / 27 mpg highway, a 230 hp turbo four-cylinder rated at 21 mpg city / 28 mpg highway, and a 308 hp V6 for buyers who want serious performance.³ The RS trim adds sport-tuned steering, a hands-free liftgate, navigation, and V6 power as standard, making it one of the most feature-rich midsize SUVs at its used price point.⁴ The Blazer has ranked among the top three models in its segment in J.D. Power's vehicle appeal study every year since 2019, and the 2020 model earned a predicted reliability score of 86 out of 100, rated "Great."⁵

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

The 2021 Tahoe is a full redesign of Chevy's flagship full-size SUV, bringing an independent rear suspension for the first time in the nameplate's history, which significantly improved ride quality and interior space over the previous generation.⁸ Engine options include a standard 5.3-liter V8 producing 355 hp rated at 16 mpg city / 20 mpg highway, a stronger 6.2-liter V8 producing 420 hp, and an available 3.0-liter turbodiesel producing 277 hp rated at 21 mpg city / 28 mpg highway.⁹ It seats up to nine passengers across three rows, with cargo space jumping from 94.7 cubic feet in the previous generation to 122.9 cubic feet with the rear rows folded.⁸ The Tahoe can tow up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped, making it one of the most capable three-row SUVs available to stock.⁹

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer

The Trailblazer is Chevy's subcompact crossover and one of the most practical entry-level SUV options for dealers targeting first-time buyers or buyers looking to downsize. It earned a predicted reliability score of 89 out of 100, one of the highest in the subcompact SUV class for its model year.¹⁰ Two engine options are available: a 137 hp three-cylinder rated at 29 mpg city / 33 mpg highway, and a stronger 155 hp three-cylinder for buyers who want a bit more power.¹⁰ Standard features include a 7-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Chevy's Safety Assist suite with automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist.¹⁰ Its compact footprint, strong fuel economy, and attractive price point in the used market make it one of the fastest-moving SUVs dealers can stock.
