The old Equniox looks way better than the new one imo. Great Video!

[@LMCustom]

I Agree😮

[@onfootbassin]

Who in their right mind would ever buy this over literally any other vehicle that costs $37k!?

[@henlolneh]

My thoughts EXACTLY like what ???

[@rogerisold]

it looks like a $25k car.

[@brandonbinder5572]

Chevy blind die hard

[@igeekone]

Most GM cars are overpriced. 175HP for $37k?! Nope.

[@chasecavalier6316]

Old people who have the mindset that American cars are the best cars.

[@danielgigandet2938]

Needs the 2.0t. Especially at that price.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

i agree. i test drove the 1.5T its a dog

[@user-pw4bm1ko3u]

I had a 2015 Equinox, loved it. Just purchased the 23 RS model. Lots of get up and go and a very comfortable interior with a bang on sound system. Only real annoyance is the transission ratio slow to respond. I really enjoy my new car, couldn't really ask for more in a mid range priced car

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

im about to buy one, i agree i think the price is great for what you get

[@javy.airlines]

Very Nice Ride👍👌👏🚙💨!

[@ag7034]

I continue to follow you from Iraq❤️🇮🇶

[@jacobyo99]

The 2.0 Turbo was a huge selling point for this car, I would never buy it now

[@user-hq6mp4lj3f]

2.0 л / 237 л.с.

[@tomtalker2000]

TOTALLY agree with you...!!! GM dropped the ball BIG TIME getting rid of that 2.0 which had 252hp & 260lbs torque. It went from a segment leader in it's class too complete failure with this 1.5 engine. Either bring back the 2.0 GM and GMC for the Terrain. Or up that 1.5 too FAR BETTER hp & torque numbers.

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

gm removed the 2.0 liter from the malibu and the equinox to make the performance of their mainstream gasoline vehicles as poor as possible. the reason is they want to convince people to go to EVs....which is really not smart. people will just move to other brands that sell ICE vehicles with more potent powertrains. gm thinks the acceleration and performance of EVs will make people buy them over slow gas vehicles, and thats just not the case. fast acceleration is maybe the only good part about an EV, there are too many other negatives though

[@JBoy328]

What about the Holden Commodore?

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

i almost bough one of these yesterday, but after test driving it, i found it to be shockingly slow. im looking into tuning options from trifecta in case i go ahead with the purchase

[@KownKR7]

Didnt know that such small engines even exist in the us

[@katlegodarren3051]

Can you please test drive g wagon g63 on/off roading

[@readysetawesome]

Lol huge step backwards. They have to lame it up to make the blazer seem more premium. I paid like 8k less for the same car with the 2.0t in ‘18 With aftermarket tune and no other upgrades it’ll make near 300hp, it’s going to be fun to zoom past the new ones with fancy $$$ badges

[@cantwealljustgetalong2]

what company did you go to for your tune? I heard trifecta is really good. i have a 2.0 malibu and its very fast but i heard trifecta can add another 50 horsepower and 50 torque with no other mods.

[@ag6371]

2.0 is the minimum engine appropriate for compact SUVs

[@kevonwalker8392]

Thank god they did not put a cvt in it at least

[@prodigetshibangu7002]

It has a pretty cool looking design, and I love that color. But with all this being said, it's slow, the interior is also outdated. Chevy has to either bring in a new generation of the Equinox or discontinue it. And get rid of that tiny 1.5 let the base engine be a 2.0 and if its gonna have an rs badge can it be at least fast

[@baqer1807]

Is the price of this car high or what 37 thousand dollars for Connex?

[@BrandonG8Man]

I’m getting so tired of reviewers complaining about vehicles not having wireless CarPlay/AA. I won’t deny that Hyundai/Kia need to resolve the issue with their nav company once and for all to enable it but bottom line it’s a simple $100 aftermarket fix. In addition, the Equinox is usually the 4th best selling Compact SUV. Not the 4th best all around.

[@matty1053]

$37k? Lmao.... I'd rather get a Tuscon limited for that price and have more features.

[@javierjavier-ht3yu]

What more I ´d like from this vehicle is the price and its infotainment.

[@julliaferreira7143]

Eu sei que voces trabalham gastam em dolar e recebem em dolar tanbem mais aqui no brasil voce pode trabalhar a vida enteira e vai comprar um carro desse parcelado e cheio de dividas, reclamar do preco que e possivel de se comprar e meio dificil aceitar

[@Farrisss]

Ford Crown Vic forever 💙 best car of all time.

[@angelasarvis9580]

I feel that that engine is way underpowered for the size of the vehicle. That price should be 31 to 32k tops, so overpriced as well. I have the older equinox with the 3.6L V 6 and it's a much better vehicle overall and the engine to weight ratio and ride is 100% better than this equinox. Chevy you've got to do better if you want me to spend 40k on another one of your vehicles 😁

[@deren_srt1048]

Nah, v6 it's good for trips or uphills, other than that it's just a bigger engine and consume more gasoline in the city, the 2.4 l whit 180lb of torque it's enough

[@angelasarvis9580]

@@deren_srt1048 I do 100% agree with you on the superior gas mileage however on long road trips having had back surgery the suspension and comfort on my 2014 is much better than the new one. I guess it just depends on what is most important to each individual, good for you not so good for me but hey different strokes for different folks huh? 😉

[@deren_srt1048]

@@angelasarvis9580 I agree with you, the new one is much worse in many aspects, from the interior to the exterior and most importantly, engines and handling.

[@realdonaldtrump17]

The interior of this thing looks like it’s from 2010, why would i want this over a t roc for example

[@deren_srt1048]

Nah, the 2010 equinox looks better inside and outside Fr

[@deren_srt1048]

This man has ever drive an autostick car ? Shift like my grandma does it So much Redline

[@JWJTRAINOR]

I hate that they got rid of the 2.0 turbo and the GM bong the new door chime is annoying

[@brendan7632]

Unless a dealer is discounting these I see no reason why anyone should buy this

[@angeltinoco417]

Ese ruido no se lo han podido quitar desde el modelo 2010 parece qe traen canicas en el motor o en la bomba de alta presión

[@superygly]

[@MultiTiesto123]

C'mon Chevy the interior looks like a Chevy Aveo thats nope for me 37k bahh

[@mtnkskn]

nice car, but driving position is too hight.

[@mustafaaljawhar1563]

A way to change gears is not for someone who is a beginner driver

[@nickc2134]

So.... why the RS badge... it's just as terribly slow as any rental car equinox

[@steroidinfo4164]

guys Was it worth buying equinox same new but 2.0 turbo 236hp engine for $41.000?

[@Evan2]

37 grand for a 1.5 turbo. Lmao okay

[@fuffthebucks7266]

Please for the love of god don't buy one of these in base engine form. The response from the six speed auto is just simply astonishingly bad for a modern vehicle taking off from a stop. You cannot predict at all how much power you will get

[@mupariksmart1111]

Please make Where it RaininG pleaese

[@goncalo33]

Where's the proper start-up sequence?

[@ag6371]

The Escape is better than this
