Spy shots of the 2024 Chevrolet coupe-like crossover: New compact offering coming soon
Chevrolet is testing a new crossover that appears to be similar in size to the compact Equinox.
The design, however, is much sportier than the Equinox and looks more like a scaled-down Blazer. The slit-shaped daytime running lights, low roof and side window design are all borrowed from the Blazer.
It is unknown which platform is below. One possibility is the aging D2XX platform found in the Equinox, although another, more likely possibility is the much more modern and flexible design known as VSS (Vehicle Strategy Set). The VSS platform portfolio is currently being rolled out and is expected to underpin most of GM’s internal combustion lineup by 2025.

A VSS-F platform designed for mini and subcompact vehicles underpins the Chevy Trailblazer, and a larger design, known as VSS-S, could underpin this new crossover. The VSS range is complemented by a VSS-R platform for rear-wheel-drive vehicles and a VSS-T platform for body-on-frame vehicles.
Although GM is heavily focused on adding electric vehicles to its lineup, including an electric Equinox slated for 2023, the crossover you see here uses an internal combustion engine. You can spot part of the exhaust in some of the shots. It’s possible the crossover will eventually replace the internal-combustion Equinox, the current generation of which arrived for the 2018 model year.
Expect the new crossover to hit the market in 2023 as a 2024 model.
