I wish the Equinox RS and the Traverse RS had a different interior color option like on the Blazer RS there is the option for a blue version it would go perfect with the Lakeshore Blue Metallic.
I have to say the 2025 equinox is a very good vehicle and get very good gas mileage also. I did a dealer trade with one and had to drive it for a distance, and it didn't even burn quarter tank a gas. I was driving it between 76 to 82 mph. Very comfortable and quiet ride. I recommend it if you are interested in the new equinox if you want very good gas mileage and a comfortable ride
Not sure id be comfortable with Super Cruise Control vs Adaptive anyway. Not holding the steering wheel or having to step on the brake when needed, you’re basically putting your life trust into the vehicle not screwing up.
Well yes…you’re also putting your trust into the car that the engine doesn’t blown up, or your brakes don’t fail, or your turning signals don’t randomly stop working, or your battery doesn’t randomly die…you’re not taking any more of a gamble than you are with literally anything else in your car (provided you keep up maintenance).
@@DsgSleazy im a lot more confident in my engine not blowing up and even if it did, surviving. And also have a lot more faith in my brakes not failing, as opposed to a car steering itself and stopping when its supposed to. So completely disagree with you in putting as much faith into brand new technology that ive never used before as opposed to the 3+ decades ive been driving without my car blowing up or brakes not working or air’s bags not deploying
Good Evening Alex! Thank you for your Very thorough review! I have two questions; 1. In time index 3:40 there is a square-shaped emitter-appearing item under the windshield. Any idea what it may be? And, 2. In your estimation which version of the 2025 Equinox has the nicest and quietest ride? Many Thanks, Graham.
Good morning; thank you for watching and for the questions. The square shaped item is the following distance indicator, which shines a bright red light onto the windshield when an accident is imminent and action is needed to be taken to avoid it. As for quiet and smooth ride, I believe it would be a toss up between the LT and RS with the smaller wheels. The ACTIV isn’t bad on ride quality, but the all terrain tires deliver more road noise. Hope that helps! - Alex
I have the 2025 equinox. I have a question about it. A few seconds after I start it, I get a siren like sound that last for about 2 to 3 seconds? What is that for or what does it do?
Hello great video! I do have a question. Our 2018 Equinox had a round knob on the driver's door that you could either open the back liftgate by pushing the knob, or you could also adjust how high the liftgate went. You had two choices, full extension or three quarters. For our garage, we left it on 3/4. Is there a way to adjust the 2025 liftgate to about 3/4 extension so that it does not hit the garage door?
For really dark roads you have high beam auto on/off which reacts faster than a driver to oncoming traffic or just pull back on the turn signal mast or maybe push forward, forgot which way.
Thanks for the video! I do have a question that seems no one talks about. Are all the 2025 Equinox stop providing the universal home remote? How to program your garage door opener then? Firstly I thought it was in the menu of the screen but seems nothing there for it. Anyone has answer?
That's strange. The menu is the only place that I know where the fogs are activated. You may need to turn off the high beams for the fogs to come on, though. - Alex
Big deciding factor for me in getting this is: does the steering wheel have a volume up & down control and song controls (next/previous)? I couldn't tell!
No it's the beeps that tell you when something is close. The game changer is the 360° view. It makes it so easy and safe when parking. Also the rear camera switches up as you pull forward. You can also move the camera icon to the always available position and then turn the camera on at any stage of parking. Sorry for the confusion there but you will like 360 if you've never had it.
You went into such unnecessary details when talking about the boomerang design in a few places on the interior, and then completely forgot to talk about the drive dial and the different drive modes which was weird, and that is way more important.
Typical 2020's malaise era crap. Does GM know any color besides black black and black? Even the headliner and pillars are now black when before they at least had the sense to make them grey to break thinks up a little. GM can do better

So tired of black interior as the only option on so many cars.
Great detailed video. A big upgrade from my 2014.

Thanks for this video. Even tho I have a LT on order and not a RS this video helped a lot!!

I just brought on and yes you can customize how far to open it. You customize on the screen on this model/year
Is there a way to click brights on or off other than using the tablet radio?
The high beams? Sure, just pull on the left hand stalk. - Alex

Is there any led ambient lighting in the cabin?
Nope none like the Tucson Hyundai

Not right now but you do get a 50.00 dollar discount hope this helps.
How do you turn the fog lights ON? I went into the menu and lit-up the fog lights icon - they never came ON!
That's strange. The menu is the only place that I know where the fogs are activated. You may need to turn off the high beams for the fogs to come on, though. - Alex
If your in Auto mode it will come on with the headlights. I don't know if it operates independently of the headlights.
Big deciding factor for me in getting this is: does the steering wheel have a volume up & down control and song controls (next/previous)? I couldn't tell!
It really is inconvenient to not have, and my current equinox does not have these controls
Yes, it has the controls on the back of the steering wheel. - Alex
Have a ‘25 RS on order…what is park assist? Does the car park itself?
No it's the beeps that tell you when something is close. The game changer is the 360° view. It makes it so easy and safe when parking. Also the rear camera switches up as you pull forward. You can also move the camera icon to the always available position and then turn the camera on at any stage of parking. Sorry for the confusion there but you will like 360 if you've never had it.

Yes, the drive mode selector... with all of its two modes... is very important.

Holy cow those air vents are ugly AF
You think so? I really like them! - Alex
Whatttt?? They are awesome. Wife and I love them on ours. We have this exact equinox
I have the LT and I love the carbon fiber look.
