A buying guide with four options of Chevrolet SUVs in the used market in July 2026: the Tracker in two generations, the Equinox, and the Trailblazer, each with price, engine, consumption, and what to look for before closing the deal
Buying a brand-new SUV has become a luxury for a few, but the used market has opened a door that many people don’t see. In a survey published on July 11, 2026, Autoesporte showcased four Chevrolet SUVs starting from R$ 65,000, ranging from economical flex to robust diesel: Tracker, Equinox, and Trailblazer. These are options for those who want a Chevrolet SUV without paying the price of a brand-new model.
The charm of the list lies in the variety. According to Autoesporte, Chevrolet has built over the years a lineup that ranges from the compact city utility to the large SUV derived from a pickup, creating opportunities for very different budgets in the used market. You can find anything from a compact urban model to a seven-seater with 4×4 traction and a turbo diesel engine.
Chevrolet SUV No. 1: Second-generation Tracker, starting from R$ 65,000
The cheapest on the list is also the easiest on the wallet. Autoesporte explains that the second generation of the Tracker arrived imported from Mexico in 2013, on the same platform as the Sonic, with urban dimensions, elevated driving position, and behavior similar to a hatchback. It’s the Chevrolet SUV designed for city dwellers.

The diesel car that was once synonymous with robustness has become the hardest to resell: used cars aged 5 to 15 years are plummeting in sales and losing value while buyers rush to hybrids and electric vehicles.

Cheaper pickup trucks for cash? Argentina has started to eliminate the export tax that increases the cost of cars sold in Brazil, and models like Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, VW Amarok, and Fiat Titano may drop in price until 2027.

Nothing about Polo, HB20, or Kwid: the cheapest automatic car in Brazil abandons the flex system, brings back an exclusive ethanol engine, delivers 115 hp, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds.
There are two versions to aim for, and the tip on which to choose makes a difference. Autoesporte reports that the pre-facelift LTZ version uses the 1.8 flex engine with 144 hp and a six-speed automatic transmission and appears starting from R$ 57,900, but recommends spending a bit more: starting from R$ 65,000, you can get the 1.4 turbo, from the 2017 lineup, with the Cruze engine of up to 153 hp and 24.5 kgfm. With this turbo, the Chevrolet SUV goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.6 seconds, about two seconds faster than the 1.8.
The consumption and size complete the model’s profile. According to Inmetro’s measurements cited by Autoesporte, the 1.4 turbo achieves 7.3 to 8.2 km/l with ethanol and 10.6 to 11.7 km/l with gasoline; the car is 4.25 meters long, has a trunk capacity of 306 liters, and in the LTZ, features like leather, MyLink center, rear camera, blind spot alert, and 18-inch wheels. It’s a used car with relatively simple mechanics compared to more modern turbo compacts.
Chevrolet SUV No. 2: Third-generation Tracker, starting at R$ 91,900

Those who want the current Tracker, and not the old one, need to increase their budget. Autoesporte highlights that the current generation, produced in Brazil on the GEM platform, has become larger, more spacious, and efficient, becoming one of the sales leaders in the segment; in the Premier version, it features the 1.2 turbo flex three-cylinder engine with up to 133 hp and 21.4 kgfm, with a six-speed automatic transmission. The 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in 9.5 seconds in the publication’s own test.
Here, the technology package takes a leap. Autoesporte reports that Premier models appear starting at R$ 91,900 on Mercado Livre and usually come with six airbags, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, panoramic sunroof, partially digital dashboard, MyLink center with embedded internet, and wireless phone charger. According to Inmetro, fuel consumption ranges between 8 and 9.6 km/l with ethanol and between 11.2 and 13.7 km/l with gasoline. It’s the choice for those who want a modern and well-equipped compact Chevrolet SUV.
Chevrolet SUV No. 3: Equinox, the mid-size with 262 hp, starting at R$ 92,900
Moving up in size, we have the mid-size SUV that replaced the Captiva. Autoesporte explains that the Equinox was produced on a global GM platform and bets on strong performance and ample interior space; the Premier version uses the 2.0 turbo gasoline engine with 262 hp and 37 kgfm, with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It is by far the most powerful on the list.
The numbers explain why it appeals to those who like to drive fast and travel. According to Autoesporte, the setup takes the Equinox from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, with Inmetro consumption around 9.1 km/l in the city and 10.8 km/l on the highway; the model measures 4.65 meters, has a trunk capacity of 468 liters, and appears starting at R$ 92,900 on Mercado Livre in the Premier version. Common features include six airbags, panoramic sunroof, 19-inch wheels, leather seats with electric adjustment, and premium sound system.
A reading comment from this editorial, duly noted, about the profile of this Chevrolet SUV. The 262 hp of the Equinox brings it closer to much more expensive premium models, but this power demands fuel and maintenance to match. For those who travel a lot and want the comfort of a mid-size SUV, it’s a bargain in the used market; for those who only drive in the city, it’s too much engine for day-to-day use, and the Tracker solves it for less money.
Chevrolet SUV No. 4: Trailblazer diesel 4×4, starting at R$ 119,900

At the top of the list is the seven-seater powerhouse. Autoesporte notes that the Trailblazer is derived from the S10 pickup and is one of the few large SUV options with a chassis on the market, combining space for seven occupants, robustness, and towing capacity; in the LTZ, it can come with a 3.6 V6 gasoline engine or the 2.8 turbodiesel, and the publication chose the diesel. It is the Chevrolet SUV for those who need real size and strength.
The diesel mechanics are the main argument for the road. According to Autoesporte, the 2.8 turbodiesel delivers up to 200 hp and 51 kgfm, with a six-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 traction with reduction; 0 to 100 km/h takes 10.8 seconds, and consumption, according to Inmetro, is 8.4 km/l in the city and 10 km/l on the highway. The model is 4.89 meters long, has a ground clearance of 19 centimeters, and a trunk that ranges from about 205 liters, with the third row in use, to up to 554 liters with the seats folded down.
The equipment matches the size. Autoesporte reports that LTZ units appear from R$ 119,900 on Mercado Livre, with six airbags, electronic descent control, hill start assist, leather seats, MyLink center, rear camera, and parking sensors. It’s the used car that pleases those with a large family and who face rough terrain.
Which used Chevrolet SUV fits your budget
With the list closed, you can translate everything into a simple choice, in reading this editorial, properly signaled. Those with around R$ 65 thousand and who only drive in the city find the second-generation 1.4 turbo Tracker the best value for money on the list. Those who can get close to R$ 92 thousand choose between the modernity of the current Tracker and the space and power of the Equinox, depending on whether they value standard items or performance more. And those who need seven seats, 4×4 traction, and diesel economy on the road aim for the Trailblazer, accepting the higher price and larger size.
A reminder that applies to any used car, still in signaled reading. Advertised price is not the final price: in a used Chevrolet SUV, the smart buyer reserves part of the budget for maintenance, tires, and possible replacement of wear items, and makes sure to check the maintenance history and caution report before closing. The good deal is not just the number in the ad, it’s the car that doesn’t become a headache later.
Watch: is the used 1.4 turbo Tracker worth it?
