2020 Chevy Equinox: FULL REVIEW | 2020 Updates Put Safety at the Forefront!

[@paulasmith7803]

We just bought a used one. My old Equinox saved my daughter's and my life when a log truck hit us. We survived but the car was totaled. This is a great vehicle. We haven't tried all the options yet, but are looking forward to finding them.

[@Gi7VNJUiiC3]

Wanted a sports car but with having a kid this vehicle seems to make the most sense. Picking up my new equinox in a couple days.

[@deboking9]

Hope you got the Primier!

[@nynthworld4152]

Coolness. I'm picking one up tomorrow. The rebate was $6500 dollars.👍

[@lisadillon5750]

Just bought a used 2020 equinox premier 2.0 T. Has 14000 miles and got it for $23750 figure I saved around 10-12K. Has the tow package and I will be towing a tent trailer..So far love it.

[@jojiepeczon02]

You're one of the best car reviewers. It's nice that you mention what the other trims have and don't have. It really helps the would be buyer. Keep it up.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks, Jolie!

[@Niccckk]

Chevy is stepping up their game with safety features standard!

[@ktpinnacle]

You can pick up a fully loaded 2019, 2.0 Premier version for $10K off (26-29K). That's a deal for a starting family looking for some more space and makes it competitive with the loaded CR-V. It's such a competitive space that people will likely be swayed by their personal opinions on exterior and interior design alone.

[@leeg3784]

Yes! LT was $34,500 and available now for $26,500. Comes with sunroof and nav and confidence/convenience pkg. Can't beat the price. I'm considering one this month. On my short list.

[@chisomagbara6780]

Got a 2014 equinox (first car I purchased on my own- college student here) and I absolutely LOVE IT it’s nice and spacious rides nicely, I have no complaints at all and I will most likely get another equinox in the next 5 years or so. Gas mileage is really nice too. I would recommend this to anyone

[@centauri0]

I like the GMC Terrain look a bit better. But the Equinox isn't to bad.

[@Eric_4is]

Not the biggest fan of the design, but it’s a nice car and has a well amount of options.

[@garywebb7481]

I contour on all things said. I just took delivery a few days ago of a 2019 Equinox LT highly optioned with the standard 1.5 turbo charged engine and am really satisfied with its ride, comfort, handling and performance. On one trip of combined driving of approx fifty miles it registered 36 mpg. This was at highway speeds of 70 mph freeway driving, 60 mph on two lane country roads and some city miles as well. It only has about 180 miles on it so far. Ours is the Pacific Blue with the light grey interior. I’m glad I beat the price increase as well. Our MSRP was right at $32,000. With all rebates it was a little over $25,000.00. Great deal! One of the pluses is all the leg room both front and rear. The rear leg room comes at a small loss in rear cargo area, but I’d rather have more leg room for those in the rear seats.

[@douglas9400]

Really love your videos!! I appreciate the time you take to put in photos of other trims with different features!!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoy them! 😀

[@darriontunstall3708]

I like the 2020 Equinox, it’s alright, we Rented a 2019 Equinox when we went to Washington DC in June for my nephew birthday party! That’s a great price too!

[@Ktheodoss]

Ive had a good experience with GM. Especially Buick. I think this is a good looking crossover. The Premier with the 2.0T is very nice. But for the price there are all of other vehicles to shop. If this vehicle was a tad less expensive, had a AWD lock, and also got rid of the stop&start nonsense I would put this vehicle on the top of my list.

[@ericm8329]

Great review! Test drove the 2020 a few days ago.. didnt mind having cloth but the 1.5L LT trim engine felt pretty underwhelming. Hopped in a 2.0L Premier and felt the difference immediately didn't even have to leave the lot.. purchased it immediately. Between the better engine, larger/flush touchscreen, and the leather just to name a few of my pro's I'd highly recommend the Premier. Love the interior too which seems to be where most negative reviews are on this vehicle. The touchscreen is slanted a tad more than some may like, but its never been a problem to see or reach, plus you've got mostly everything on the wheel to adjust the basics. Think I ended up paying about $28-29K for it new.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! Congrats on your new Equinox!

[@danielroberto9183-w8j]

Nice review. thye of course don't tell you the downside of the Equinox. Seating position is ackward. Pedals too close to driver, seat bottom is short. Audio system is poor as the screen reflects sunlight into the eye balls, hards to see in a sunny day. Base audio system needs upgrading. The underbody is one the least covered giving no protection to parts. Exposed metal pieces. Only to be driven in states like California of Florida where there's no snow. Also the underside is very prone to corrosion. A leap forward for the current Equinox, but it's advisable to get an extended warranty. Get the 2.0 litter engine.

[@toner37]

I have the 2018 LS Nightfall Grey and have been enjoying it since the first day. I know when my lease(yes I leased it because it's cheaper for me and I don't drive a lot) is up I'll be interested to see what will be available for 2022.

[@tylershives695]

After their 2010-2014 models, the rear main seals blowing, needing sometimes a complete motor replace, AND GM not covering it - I could no longer recommend anybody buy anything GM. GM has a pattern of making poor motors now. Since the bankruptcy bail out, this company has not been the same.

I still hate the tilted screens. I"m going to get a Ford or Toyota instead next year as there screens are flat facing and easy to read in the daylight and reach. Trucks have them though (Colorado)???

[@leeg3784]

We have a Buick Encore same 8" screen and have never had an issue seeing the screen at all during the day. In fact, it's the one thing that made me go with the vehicle, love the screen. The Toyota Rav I've driven and the screen someone described as looking like a 1990 computer monitor screen. I know exactly what they were talking about. Real dated looking. Ford has a nice one, I've driven in it before.

Found out there is a workaround: upon startup, drop the shifter into L and bump the gears 5 times to get it into 6th gear and just leave it there. It'll drive as normal, but you won't have to worry about the car cutting off upon stopping.
