The Chevrolet Equinox is celebrating its best January sales ever by teasing the 2016 model.

The American automaker announced that nearly 20,000 Equinox crossovers were sold last month, marking the model’s best January ever and was Chevy’s second best-selling vehicle behind the Silverado pickup. Along with the announcement, Chevrolet teased the refreshed 2016 Equinox, which will make its official debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show.

Last month’s sales was a 34-percent increase over January 2014 and annual sales in the U.S. reached 242,242 units last year. Not much is known about the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox but the teaser image reveals updated headlights with LED running lights.

“In one of the industry’s most competitive segments, the Equinox continues to win customers with its value-driven balance of performance, versatility and personal connectivity,” said GM North America President Alan Batey. “It also represents the depth of Chevrolet’s strong SUV lineup, ranging from the all-new Trax small SUV and Traverse to the redesigned 2015 Suburban and Tahoe.”
