The best Cliff Atiyeh can say about this Equinox is that it is a very good value and you're bound to get a good price because of numerous dealer incentives. There is a lot to like, but the competition to the Equinox runs deep, and many of its closest rivals have been recently refreshed with newer tech, more cargo space, and better style inside and out. What does the next generation Equinox have in store for us? We're excited to see it, what about you?

[@chrismortland5391]

Love my 2019 Equinox 2.0T Premier. Definitely my favorite car I’ve owned. Fast takeoff and get lots of compliments on the Cajun red paint mine has

[@mattnorman5241]

get rid of that pos aint nobody saying that look nice

[@ramhaven2322]

Had a 2014 equinox , loved that suv was baby blue, got a honda CRV in 2021, can't beleive how quiet the cabin was in my equinox compared to this new CRV.

[@tims6141]

Great review. Concise. I have a ‘23 LS with the blackened sport package. I’m very happy with it. I’d trade the 1.5 for the 2.0 in a heartbeat. But Like you said, can’t lament on the past.

[@hoangduongvn3599]

Ok

[@bobg4657]

Why do you guys always review the top of the line versions of a particular model? Betting the LT sells more than the premier.

[@cargurus]

I’d bet that you’re right, but we review the vehicles that we can get access to, and understandably, manufacturers tend to provide the high spec versions with all the bells and whistles. We do our best to note what is standard, what’s a paid option, and what’s worth upgrading to when appropriate. Thanks for being a viewer!

[@braetonwilson4296]

Don't blame Cargurus. Blame the manufacturer for always sending the fully loaded top trims so they can impress the reviewer.

[@davewilson7602]

I’ll never forget the day in 2008 my neighbor bought an equinox, came home and gave me crap for owning an “import” Honda. His face when I told him his engine was built in China was priceless 😂

[@junyuanma4243]

Your iphone was built in China.

[@triggeredcat120]

Your neighbour sounds very Boomer-ish

[@Ni-fg6je]

I had a coworker talk crap on my Toyota because he said it was a little asian ricer. He told me you should drive a real mans car made in America like me. The guy drove a Dodge Charger. When i told him his Dodge Charger was made in Canada and owned by Italians the look on his face was priceless😂 Then i told him my Toyota was made in Texas in the USA. He didn’t believe me until he looked at the manufacturer sticker on my door jam lol.

[@ktpinnacle]

Looking forward to the EV coming onto the market. And your testing. Want to see what the final pricing and range numbers are. It already looks stylish.

[@flipnap2112]

wait til you have to replace the batteries

[@ktpinnacle]

@@flipnap2112 GM designs the Ultium platform to do so. And they'll have a 100K warranty, so there is little to worry about there in the near term.

[@davestadt49]

I own one @ so do 212,000 from last years sales figures.😮😮❤❤

[@lklpalka]

Nice review! You have an engaging style. Renting well-equipped LT right now, I like it overall. Your observations are spot on, although I think the styling is the most attractive in its class.

[@braetonwilson4296]

Great review Cliff my habibi!

[@stryder2009]

Don’t care for the EV. Love this style better.

[@keytothegate68]

Exactly. It looks alright but the worst part is driving it due to it being under powered. Same as nearly all the other four bangers.

[@goforho7257]

Depends on perspective. When I first got my license I wanted a new 83 Rabbit GTI. With 90hp, 5 speed manual it did 0-60 in 9.7 secs which was considered lightening fast at the time. Equinox shaves a second off of that and it is 'under powered'?

[@jeffmorse645]

Performance is going to be a compromise in any of these compact crossovers. As you said, they're all pushing 4,000 lbs and the base engine (that most people get) ranges from the Chevy's low 175 HP up to just about 200 HP. Yep, they're all fairly sedate with acceleration because manufacturers are trying to balance these inherently weighty and poorly aerodynamic vehicles with fuel economy goals they're trying to reach. Midsize sedans would make a lot more sense from that perspective since they weigh about 500 lbs less and are more aerodynamic, but people want to sit up higher, have hatchback like cargo room and have AWD (even if they don't really need it). Hybrid powertrains can help a compact crossover, but that makes them more expensive. Again, everything is a compromise for the manufacturers to meet their goals and give the consumer what they want.

[@paulm6481]

I disagree that CVT is better than a six speed transmission.

[@stephenzerfas5307]

Was going to say the same and most every reviewer I have seen says the same. I think the only issue with 6 speed is that it was tuned for economy in exchange of acceleration.

[@PaulHo]

Walmart?! I can't tell if that's commentary on the target demographic or a lapse in judgement.

[@hectorromo7662]

I believed all this BS GM advertising and got me a 2023 RS Equinox, a few days afterward. I noticed a vibration the soonest. I put on any gear or go between 35 and 40 miles. I took it back to the dealership and got their classic answer, there's nothing wrong everything it's normal and 3 months later it seems like the vibration is getting worse and the dealership answer still the same, everything is normal so I am telling everyone. I know not to buy Chevy anymore, for they don't stand behind their products warranty

[@Paul-cx4gm]

We get one more run of this with a major redesign on the same chassis before the EV one completely takes over.

[@tonycking0121]

Should've stayed with the 2.0 ltg

[@haze1123]

Only Chevy customers think "extra chrome" is a good thing. Excited to see the complete redesign. Love your reviews though!

[@perezcarlos559]

Nah. Lmao Honda owners love their chrome too 😄

[@donvanhove3]

Until they change the chassis it will be a second rate suv

[@BTC909]

Buy it used from the rental fleets. Avoid the 2018.

[@papayevi]

CVT a “better choice” 😂. You’re nuts. Obviously not a mechanic…

[@jbmop]

No more Apple CarPlay and Android auto in the 2024 Equinox EV. Such a WTF moment.

[@brokeboy87]

After watching this review, it sounds like Chevy gave up on it.

[@mattnorman5241]

they need to it making people poor

[@Peizxcv]

This looks like a 2010 model

[@fabriciooliveira5025]

Carro 🚗 bacana 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍.

[@skipbolance]

It’s a good , basic SUV that is affordable…. Other sub compact SUVs have only ( 15 more hps ) & cost 3-4 thousand more .

[@gene978]

There losing this awesome Style? OH NO!!!!!😂 Now I have to buy a Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback

[@tahsin28]

So bad, why does it still exist, my god.

[@mattnorman5241]

its a pos suv

[@braetonwilson4296]

I love that my local Chevy dealership is doing 4k off MSRP on new 2023 Equinox. Great deal!

[@mattnorman5241]

@@braetonwilson4296 nobody is buying them pos the smart ones that is

[@goforho7257]

@@braetonwilson4296 Chevy dealers in my area haven't had new cars to sell in three years. You go to the new car part of the lot and you might see a couple EVs and $60k trucks and that's about it. Hard to believe other dealers are discounting when around here they are selling anything they get in before they can pull them off the truck.

[@Madeupfakerobot]

I threw up a little bit

[@v_n_bot]

Who buys this crap...??? .I don't go with even 50% discounted.....

[@speederz1]

was gunna get a new Equinox but when i found out that this model and blazer is made in mexico i passed,,,i support my union brothers n sisters

[@goforho7257]

Umm what vehicle in this price range isn't made outside the US?? Your 'union brothers n sisters' are the reason cars aren't produced in the US anymore.

[@libertyforever836]

Chevrolet Engineknocks. Pile of junk. My mechanic has four of them torn down in his shop with the engines fell apart. He laughs. Every time he sees one going down the road. American car manufacturers are a joke, they are more concerned with their stockholders than they are with the people who buy their cars. The subcontracting of parts on American made vehicles by trashy manufacturers should be a crime. After 70 years, I’ve come to the conclusion, and after buying so many American made cars when I was a younger man, that American car manufacturers don’t give a damn about the people who buy their cars. They don’t want you to come back and don’t care if you don’t come back or not all they’re concerned about is their stock price. As far as I’m concerned, if it doesn’t say Toyota Lexus on it, it does not fit in my driveway or my garage.

[@goforho7257]

Bought around 15 new GM products in my life and never had a major issue.

[@DYIguy]

I can say this vehicle is ugly on the inside an out! Just rented this for two weeks and it was terrible, The screen is small the controls are not in convent locations, it does not even have a glove box lock, no gas cap, no locking gas lid either! The performance is so slow so many blind spots and needs a better handle for the lift gate. Overall it needs a total redesign for sure even my kids thought it was a 2018 car.

[@josephlotrecchiano9359]

got?/......have is correct...lol

[@improvcomedywithtonebone]

Boring & slow

[@cannabine413]

Lol the 23 looks better then the evo no no no I want too hear my engine not humming noises
