[@mattking4483]

Most, if not all of his information is incorrect. The tiers go L, LS, LT and then Premier. LT is not a 'below base model' He also stated this car goes for 33k. Even new, LT model was between 25k-28k. Really needs to do his research before he makes statements that can be picked apart. Also, that oil? Yeah, it's 'dark' but not nearly as black as he suggests. Notice the lack of a close-up view. It is ENTIRELY possible, that sticker was not replaced or the oil was not changed last at that service provider. Also, that warranty information is wrong,. The Bumper to Bumper is 36k, the Powertrain is 5 years, 60k. Dude's selling himself as knowing something, but does not know anything.

[@johnperic857]

I was thinking the same thing....

[@Gwaithmir]

I bought a 2019 Equinox a few months ago and I love it. It's easy to drive, has a comfortable ride and great gas mileage. I'm 73 years old and have no trouble opening and closing the rear hatch. This guy must be some kind of weakling.

He is pretty scrawny..lol

[@sonofrobert]

@Juice 999 Yes and what's up with these reviewers, reviewing a base model, with lots of hard plastics, and complaining about hard plastics. Like they just want to rag on something.

[@sonofrobert]

@Juice 999 We liked how our 2012 Orlando drove. 28mpg hwy was best it did, even though book says 32. We have the piston rebuild(doesn't lose oil now) under recall, our car only had 80k on it and a common tranny problem with a poorly designed washer, destroyed the tranny which my wife got rebuilt for 4300. Mech said they have a better washer that he put in it( that should be a frickin recall, i would say!). Thanks GM! So we are looking for a newer SUV that takes the 2.4, that has a bad engine or tranny for cheap and putting her engine/tranny into it. Worth it, to get it all done for hopefully 5 grand. Update:. No Chevy dealer will take our 2.4/tranny and put in in some equinox or GMC terrain, etc. We can't find a good condition donor car, so we are parting ways with GM products. Going for 3500 towing. Toyota Rav4 v6 2009-12, Toyota Venza v6, Outback v6, Hyundai Santa Fe v6 and we found a 2010 VW Touareg v6 tdi for 7500 dollars with 30mpg hwy. It could be a money pit but for 7500, we may roll the dice. I asked my wife, are you willing to lose that money, if it has issues. It's like a Porsche SUV, really nice interior. 6cyl 220 hp/ 406 torque..lol We don't want timing chain and non standard auto tranny, no CVT or timing belts..lol in the cars we are looking for. Cheers and insane car adventures. We don't want to spend more than 15 grand and want at least 3500 towing.

[@ms.fortune2957]

Haaaaaa Haaa THANK U for clearing that up. I have stopped people driving it to inquire about it and everyone LOVES IT! I'm definitely going to buy one!

[@sonofrobert]

@@ms.fortune2957 I wouldn't get a GM product in the future or any American auto. We are going for a Japanese or Korean car. Our 2012 Chevy Orlando destroyed it's 6sp auto because of a defective washer. Only 86k miles and this is not acceptable! We had it rebuild for 4700 dollars and the tranny guy said that this was a common issue..lol. WTH! Also, the plastic was so cheap to replace taillight bulbs that the covers for the screws started braking. We had excessive oil consumption that we proved had to be fixed after letter from GM who is getting sued in multiple class action lawsuits! Their prices are not low enough to justify this defective engineering. The Orlando is very similar to and Equinox, so do research please.

I bought a 2020 with sport package and midnight package with 19 inch black wheels and leather interior and dual climate control with the confidence and convenient package last weekend for under $26000. And I love it. Never thought I would buy an Equinox because my first experience was in a rental and me and my wife hated it. But the one I purchased with the bigger wheels and the exterior and interior upgrades made it look and feel like luxury. It rides so much smoother then the rental and handles better with the wider tires. I think the rental was a low model because the back windows weren’t even tinted. I wanted something different but semi luxury for a good price. Was about to buy a use car but I’m glad I decided to go new especially for the price couldn’t beat it.

[@zacharymurdock6721]

@@samuelgonzalez1891 whether or not you may have some, or all of the same options this LT trim example has, LT has always been above LS, on any Chevrolet Vehicle. The LS could only get the 1.5 Turbo, whereas the LT can be had with the 1.5L Turbo, a 2.0 Turbo, or a 1.6L diesel. So that may very well be the only difference, compared to a highly optioned LS. It can be confusing, cause in more recent times almost any standard model vehicle can be had/made to have more options and features than a higher trim level example that didn’t have any options or features added to it. Does that make any sense? Lol

I have a 2018 Equinox. I love it. My car is a base model but not a former rental. I have a power lift gate.

[@tjjr1062]

Have had my Equinox LT, 2wd for two years and love it. $22,300. The seats feel fine. The dash of every newer car is made of plastic. I'm not an old lady so the prop rod for the hood and no power lift gate are not even close to being a problem.

[@pettylove86]

I've had my 2019 Equinox LT for a little over a year and yes it was a rental previously. The seats in my car are cloth and extremely comfortable, even my 12 yr. old grandson commented on how comfy his seat was. Haven't had any problems with this car yet and it drives fine. The radio/phone/info system is so easy to use but I don't like the touch screen. I don't like the cheap plastic parts either or the mechanism to move the front passenger seat. It sticks out too far. Well I am an older lady and although I can open & close the back hatch I find it bulky and awkward so....I do plan on trading this car in as soon as prices relax a bit. It's just a bit bigger than I want or need. Our friends have the premier and love it.

We just bought a used 2019 in the premier trim. My wife loves it so far. It’s great for what it is. Of coarse ours is by far better speced with more soft touch interior, leather heated and vented front and rear seats, panoramic roof, Bose sound, 360 camera, and other safety features, and my fave heated steering wheel.

[@kalenbogart4482]

I’m a field service tech for a manufacturing equipment company, so I do a lot of windshield time. I have a 2018 Equinox in essentially the same trim level, except I have the non-turbo V6. I’ve put more than 100k on it. Maintaining it has cost virtually nothing. I’ve put tires on it, that’s it. I live in southeast Texas, where acceleration and AC matter a great deal, and it’s been fantastic. The interior holds up well to the dirt and grease of my job. The apple car play integration and phone support are great. The suspension is smooth and comfortable. In short, I like it a lot. In fact, you’ve savaged it for a lot of the things I like about it. It doesn’t have a bunch of overpriced bells and whistles to break, it’s been durable, reliable, stayed clean, and kept me cool and comfortable over a lot of windshield time.

[@nativeamericanfeather9948]

Bought 1 today!(Does have 100,000 warranty) I'm picky about cars.I looked at about 1,000 cars since January..finally found one with everything I want &I Love it! Panoramic sunroof,leather heated seats,all blacked out midnight edition,great on gas,button to shut hatch,start car from my app on phone or key fob, bright interior lights, mirror lights that adjust to day or night time, ranked high for safety & reliability,and within my budget. I never thought I'd find the perfect car for me & my family..thankfully after months of searching & let downs..I did:) drove 2 hours to a dealership..ride home was smooth. Alerts me when I'm out of my lane,too close to the car ahead of me,shuts off when stopped to conserve on gas,& alerts me when a cars next to me in case of a blind spot. And air bags in the back. Paid $27,000 out the door. Has 44,000 miles and is a 2020. I'm a car person & had many..this is definitely top 3 favorite With my Cadillac Escalade ESV that I bought that was 1 year old,my Jeep, & Denali truck. Great for a family or someone single.

[@jth1987leb]

The chevy equinox is a bad suv but your complaints are from someone who drives high end vehicles and not the true issues with the car.

[@joshualeblanc3833]

You can get the LS trim of these for around 20k all day long at dealers around here. That's not bad for a vehicle this size with AEB, and lane keep assist.

[@ElliottAlvis]

I would agree with you, but these don’t have either of those features standard. This LT didn’t have them either. Even though I bet the non-rental spec might have.

[@joshualeblanc3833]

@@ElliottAlvis the 2020s all come standard with advanced safety tech features. I'm not sure about rental spec models. Example (see safety tab on features) www.courtesygmbreauxbridge.com/VehicleDetails/new-2020-Chevrolet-Equinox-FWD_LS-Breaux_Bridge-LA/2GNAXHEV1L6274863

[@_dmfd]

I think these are pretty decent for what they are and the size. I've been in one for the past month while my 2019 Jetta is getting the front assist fixed and ours is rental spec, pretty much same as this video and it's been great. The material's don't seem too cheap, has ambient lighting, all LED interior lightning, rear vents, power hatch, power seat, and aloooot of room for a small CUV. The turbo really holds between 3.5-5k rpms but other than that it is pretty slow. I'm thinking about trading out the Jetta for the 2.0T awd model. A 2019 used 2.0T is about $20k used. And idc about these missing the " advanced safety features " although the 2020s come with it standard. My Jetta has those " safety features " and they suck and constantly break. My front assist has gone out twice since June, and it costs $600 for an alignment bc they have to re calibrate all that crap. But honestly, for the price and size these are not bad. The standard warranty sucks tho. 3 years 36k miles Chevy is trippin 😂 their extended only goes to 60k too. So dumb.

[@ElliottAlvis]

I had this one as a rental while waiting on my wife’s vehicle to be repaired from an accident too. I think for a certain price this would be ok. But not in rental spec by any means lol.

[@letsgocapsbeatpens]

This was the most positive negative review I've seen. You said the car road fine, was quiet, good storage, had a good turning radius, and adequate acceleration - sounds like a decent motor to me. Second, you said the car only has a 3yr-36,000k Mile warranty and its standard to have more - Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Toyota (and more), etc have the same bumper to bumper warranty. There are only a few (non-luxury) car manufactures that have a longer bumper to bumper warranty - Hyundai/Kia, Mitsubishi, and VW, so it’s not quite standard. As far as dings, scratches, swirls, and dimes in the dash vents - many people who rent cars abuse them. It’s no different than a public restroom. Lastly, what car in this segment doesn’t have cheap plastic in the interior? I’ve been/driven every SUV in this segment and they all feel cheap and have cheap plastics, with the exception of the CX-5.

[@ElliottAlvis]

You make a lot of good points here. I think the car drove fine and would serve it’s purpose for most people who would be in the market for one. I just found the interior to be exceptionally cheap, even compared to its rivals. The premiere trim level on the Equinox solves a lot of the issues I have with the platform. Thank you for the honest analysis of the video. I appreciate you watching.

[@jacobsteele9927]

I’ll be honest I’d be fine if he’s making these complaints on a higher trim of it such as a premier, but he shouldn’t be complaining about the stuff on a BASE MODEL. It is going to be cheap so it’s affordable for people.

[@The_Manatee]

its not even a base model lmfao its below base model, this review is horrible since most of his critiques are to that car specifically, like complaining about the paint and the oil. I agree with you 100%, i have a 2019 premier and its wonderful. And correct me if im wrong but i dont think any trim level below the premier has a turbo. Truly seems like hes talking out of his ass and just hates this car for no real reason.

[@matt5721]

They all feel like plastic piles of shit. Everyone in the comments defending it is old as fuck (retarded).

[@dougbriggs4176]

The base is a L @ 25k, LS @ $27k and the LT @ 28.5k and that is without rebates. I wouldn’t use any rental as a comparison if I was buying a car as they are all cheaply equipped and beaten on. Right now you can get a fully loaded top of the line AWD with the 2.0L engine for a tick over 33k with rebates.

Replaced a battery and a head lamp and had fender liners that came loose but I put them back in place. But I still think it's a reliable car. Although the dealer was bugging me about buying it back from me and trying to get me to upgrade, I just didn't want to give it up and I currently have 87,000+ miles with it. The only way to make a car last is taking care of it and use a little common sense.

[@nevorchi]

The title is misleading by far. This is NOT a review of the Chevy Equinox, this is the review of a specific Chevy Equinox in sub-par condition and with very shit features. I have a 2019 Chevy Equinox 2.0 with amazing features and it's way better than the one reviewed here. In short, it's not a bad car, you just happened to find the shittiest version of it and judge it in comparison to every other decent SUV. Hence the reason for the dislike ratio on the video.

Wouldn't the base model be the LS, followed by the LT and then the Premier? On top of those models, there are different equipment packages added and those can vary. This one is an LT and has fog lamps. Also, dings and dents on a rental are not the fault of the car.
