We just traded our 2024 equinox rs for a 2025 equinox rs , and what a difference it has good acceleration turning radius is way better seats are more comfortable overall it is like a completely different vehicle highly recommend people to try driving one to see

The one miss is they didn't refresh the engine. :( Lowest power and lowest fuel economy in class.

Not sure where this huge need for power is coming from with people these days? I've got a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with 150hp and the car does just fine. I'm not out drag racing it on weekends....

I also wish the Xtrek had the 2.4L turbo as an option. Would be so fun. It’s not that it needs it, just that it would be fun to have the option if you wanted a more engaging driving experience

@@BachmanAutoGroupLouisville That's why my sister went with the Outback Wilderness, standard 2.4T. She actually doesn't even drive that fast, but we both agreed the turbo engine felt way more effortless and quiet, keeping the RPMs much lower and muffling the exhaust. Feels very refined. Quite expensive tho!

The wheels look great on this trim. Wish the front weren't so blocky/trucky. Does the suspension feel less stiff than the previous generation?

I do like the updates minus the carryover engine. But honestly Chevy not offering a hybrid for this model is a huge miss. I have driven ICE vehicles all my life, but am willing to consider a hybrid. I think a lot of people are not ready for full EV yet, but hybrids and PHEVs could bridge the gap and eventually lead to more full EV buyers down the road.

Bro, a lot of hate for a Basic Equinox... why don't you guys give some hate to those Basic foreign cars? The 2025 Equinox is better than every Overrated Foreign car in its class, I don't care what the magazines say. I like the new Equinox vs the older version.

Just test drove one, but the feeling was a bit bouncy, I was getting Kia sportage vides from it. I like something better spung and more power I guess. It felt small, and I do like bigger cars but really need to downsize. I will try a Rav4 to get a feel of it.

They need to test drive an RS and or a Activ version. They also need more engine options like a plug in, its offered in China on the new Equinox.

I have an equinox 2018 2.0T 9 speed automatic and Chevrolet stopped making the 2.0T because it was very expensive and sales were showing that nobody was buying them. I paid $40,000 including tax back then. The ltg engine alone cost $6,000. I thought for another $10,000 I could've gotten the Cadillac XT5.

Whoa! 40k for an equinox?? I just bought a 2021 LT with 60k miles on it for 14,500. I bought it from a family member so I know its history. Runs perfect and in mint condition (old dude owned it). I cant believe how GM car values plummet so fast!! I mean, I have a 2012 Toyota 4 runner that is still worth 25k after 12 years! I bought it brand new for 34k.

I love my 2019 2.0T Premier. The only thing that’s gone out on it is the power liftgate struts. I bought it in 2022 for $23k but the window sticker was $41k when new.

To me, they put lipstick on a pig. The style is great. I have a 2024 LT, and the new one looks much better. They took away the 6 speed transmission in favor of a CVT. They took away the driver power seat and power tailgate as standard with the LT. Basically, they made the 2025 LT comparable to the 2024 LS. The all wheel drive is different in that they give you a real transmission, 8 speed

A Honda HRV or Mazda CX-5 would last twice as long. Even though the HRV can't get out of it's own way the 2.0 is ultra reliable.

What baffles me is when people talk about speed, and torque, and 0-60, and all this other stuff on a car that is 100% a grocery getter/soccer mom van/old man car! The gas mileage is AMAZING on these cars, and that because its got a baby engine! You want some exciting driving, get the BMW X3 or the Porsche Macon. lol
