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.

@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 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.

Do you know even though I have 15k on the car mileage people are offering to buy it for several thousand dollars over what I paid for it new! Best affordable car with pretty good comfort, good response in the motor for passing and a 10 YEAR WARRANTY on the motor. Won't be sorry... I LOVE this car.

I bought an Equinox (2.0L T) after a Subaru Outback 2015 model and in comparison Equinox is just on another level. A nice smooth powerful engine and a smooth 9 speed transmission compared to a noisy and gutless 2.5L naturally aspirated and a horrible CVT. There just isn't any comparison. Yes the interior is a bit cheap, but who cares. I'm loving it!

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.

Its red, has great mileage, drive assist stay in the lane or the seat vibrates. The automatic all around cameras are great. The seats are cooled and heated leather. Automatic climate control front and rear. Includes an automatic lift gate, plenty of room for a wheel chair in the back.

@@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.

Took 6 months for the dealer to agree for the replacement after burning 2 qts of oil in 2K miles but, tried to say 1 qt per 1K is normal, LOL!!! Dumped it, have a '16 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, yeah, yeah, not a real Jeep, with 3.2L V6, 56K miles, knock on wood, running great, also have the Mopar Unlimited Miles and Years warranty just in case. Y'all keep up the good work and tell JR to get the R8 back!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for the honest analysis of the video. I appreciate you watching.

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.

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.

Bought a 2018 Equinox 2.0t LTZ , full leather, heated seats throughout, electric boot open/close and foot operated. It is pretty quick and a delight to buy. In NZ badged as Holden Equinox. 8000miles and 18000usd equiv. I'm very happy with this and it boogies. Perhaps test the 2.0 turbo higher spec.

Rough surface on the clear is most likely the industrial fallout, a standard decontamination and polish would get it super slick. I have a 2019 LT in Iridescent Pearl Tricoat and have had it for a year and a half. Paint has zero swirls marks or scratches and it's super super slick. It's all in the owners hands. If you take care of it, it'll take care of you.

* *Michael S* * - I'm glad to hear that. I just bought a 2019 Equinox LT with only 18,400 miles on her. It was only leased to 1 previous owner. Today is Monday, July 12, 2021. I bought it two days ago, Saturday (July 10th). I'm *'under the belief'* that the people who leased it were senior citizens, as 18k miles for 2 years is very low. - Hope I we received a good buy as I'm 30 years, US Navy, Retired and do not need to be screwed over. I don't need the extra headache.....lol. - Final price after taxes (after $1,200 down) was $23,000.00 - - Tires look new. - My test drive showed a vibration in the back-end. Mechanics replaced both back rotors and brake pads. Tell a lifelong veteran I did okay..............!

A 2.5L Naturally aspirated 4 cylinder with 200 HP would be a great solid engine. I had an 04 Lexus RX330 which came with a 3.3L V6 apart from infotainment center and it had more advanced features than this equinox powered everything, dual zone climate, and soft leather seats that are very comfortable. No touch screen but, has everything I wanted.

Well, I bought a 2018 Equinox a few months ago, the only thing I really hate about it, is the auto-stop autostart feature, other than that I haven't had any issues considering it is a rebuilt title car that was rear-ended, no airbags blown and I got it for about 13k with only 48,000 miles in it. so there is always the option to buy it preowned.

Hey Elmer, here's a tip for that aggravating "auto stop." After you start up, put the shifter into the "L" position, then use the "+" button and bring it to the highest gear (mine is "6"). Then, just drive as normal. The car will shift and downshift through all the gears and will never shut off. I discussed this remedy with the shop mananger at the Chevy dealership and he assured me that this method was fine and would not damage the power train and/or transmission whatsoever. Happy motoring! --Jim

We don't have some of the problems that are happening to other vehicles. And as far is your opinion of the 1.5 with turbocharger, this little car has plenty of get up and go, never had a problem getting on the freeway are going uphill. Update 2,23,2023 I keep the 2019 equinox for myself. Purchase a 2023 Equinox for my wife. You see when there is a great product, negative reviews don't work.
