I would like to see full leather on the door and on the dashboard. I would also like to see some padding where your knees were dressed because I feel like this plastic even though it looks durable but it should be nice seeing some panting so that the Chevrolet Equinox would be on part like the Mercedes-Benz products.
Literally why can’t more car reviewers measure cargo width and length like CarConfections!? I literally don’t care about what the cubic feet measurement. I want to know the dimensions. So THANK YOU!!!!
Anyone complaining about the engine size has never driven an AWD. This car drives even better than it looks, and it certainly has the best design in the class that goes for both exterior and the new interior!
@@brucekalter4206 never did I ever think I would be interested in a freaking equinox but here I am. I don’t like that the fwd has a cvt though. Would have wanted the torque converter 8 sp on the awd.
I sat inside one of them myself. I wish Chevy offered a lighter colored interior ceiling. If felt cave-like. Not everyone likes that much darkness. Also, I'm on the taller side. When I turned off the camera rear view mirror and just used it like a normal mirror, the reflection was too low. I couldn't adjust it higher to see out of it. I had to lower my head. Even the salesman said he had similar issues in his personal Chevy vehicle. Please fix these two things, Chevy.
Im not a chevy guy but i do appreciate that they are giving you a nice Infotainment screen even on their base models (i know this isnt the base) and their Newest Uconnect software is very responsive.
Looks great in and out, but 170 horsepower won’t cut it, especially once you have passengers in it. Plus you can’t even tow anything with it. 800 or 1500 pounds? That’s literally nothing. Not even my pop up camper.
Best thing about this car....its made in mexico! So no worrying if the UAW employee was sober the day he screwed the bolts in. My 2020 drives great, and gets 36 mpgs on road trips.
@@BigAltimaEnergy719the Hornet doesn't sell in any trim level, and if I had to guess, Ford doesn't sell too many STs. I'm pretty appaled that GM carried over the 1.5 as well but it never needed to be a standard 200+ HP either. 190 with improved efficiency would have been great.
Love the way it looks also. The design and color palette are fire. No SuperCruise and that awful engine/transmission. Pass for now. Maybe they’ll listen to customers and shoppers to change that dang powertrain and add SuperCruise as a stand alone option…
@@lilred1107 Wrong. It literally is the worst power is segment. There's no compact crossover that is worse. For example, the 1.5T CVT in the Equinox does 175hp/184ftlbs and 28mpg highway while the 1.5T CVT in the Nissan Rogue does 201hp/225ftlbs and 37mpg highway, significantly higher in power and fuel economy.
I like how Garbage Motors is calling it leatherette seating............ How about just call it we cheeped out and put vinyl seating back in from the 70's and kept the singer sewing machine engine.
How does this have less cargo space than the Rav4? This looks way bigger than Rav4. Everything is bigger than the tiny cramped Rav4. Even Honda Civic, a compact Sedan seems bigger than Rav4
It’s better than the current Equinox but I think because all of Chevrolet’s vehicles look the same - it already looks dated. Once rental companies get them and they’re all over the road, that be even more the case.
You do realize all manufacturers are moving to an identical design language across all models, right? Also there is no exclusive vehicle not in rental fleets.
That car is too small and that engine is too weak to haul my phat thangs around boo boo!!!! C’mon now!!!! Y’all know I know my worth and my hot yams deserve better than this car!!!!
Chevrolet actually rivals Toyota in reliability as they are both ranked above average. Toyota has been riddled with way more problems than Chevrolet as of recently.
@@aamitche1 GM is reliable in america car brand and Toyota is reliable in Japan car brand... they are competition of reliable of engines... my point is Toyota isn't reliable as it used to be fyi. I own them both cars...
I took my Jeep in for service a month ago and they loaned me a 2024 Equinox that was traded in but used as a rental. It was a POS, so noisy at 55 mph that you could not hear yourself think. It drove like a Tank and the finish inside was crap.
This is what is destroying the environment. Garbage year after year from GM send this Chevy straight to the junkyard. Same trash and it’s still overpriced. The back of the car doesn’t even look finished. That rear center vent pillar is so ugly even for an economy compact crossover. Cheap plastic already scuffed in the video of a car that is presented for very limited access to those allowed to review it. Garbage. I understand you have to review it. Just garbage. My 1991 Chevy beretta coupe had the exact same plastic material. I can’t believe they are selling even worse garbage decades later. I had more horsepower and better fuel mileage with a normally aspirated engine lol. Embargo his vehicle for good.
Meanwhile Toyota is recalling every truck they make, all evs are trash, Hyundai Kia engines are going bad and easy to steal, Nissan can't make a transmission, there isn't one good British or Italian car, and German cars need to be scrapped when the warranty is up if you're clueless enough to buy one. Don't get me started on every single stellantis product
Is that also why the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevy Silverado, and the Cadillac Escalade outsell the Sequoia, Tundra, and Lexus LX 2 to 1? Which segments do you think are making these cooperations more money? Toyota wishes they were in *gm’s* position as do most their competitors.
Looks nice but the Hyundai Tucson N kills all although this interior looks better esthetically, the Tucson takes it when it comes to innovation, tech/features, and performance. The Rav4 has reliability though. Hyundai/Kia has changed their key fobs several times in the last decade and I love it, meanwhile Ford/Lincoln, Nissan/Infiniti, Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura, Mazda, and GM haven't changed their fobs in decades.
i truly hope all the armchair mechanics hate the 1.5L so much that Chevy has difficulty selling these models so that I can get a sweet sweet deal on one of these!

Not size, power and efficiency. Example: '25 Equinox 1.5T+CVT = 175hp/184ftlbs 28mpg hwy. '24 Rogue 1.5T+CVT = 201hp/225ftlbs 37mpg hwy. 😯
@@BoopSnootThe Rogue's fuel economy is a flat-out lie. Both that powertrain and this one are uncompetive and slow.

It's surprisingly good and loaded with options luxury interior nice review well done lads
Huge upgrade. Looks good.
They kept the same engine, but they improved the transmission now 8 speed. That will help the 1.5 motor.
Imagine having a toyota-like engine in this car. 💯
It's no longer a melted jelly bean!

The HUD should be available for this Equinox. That would be cool.
Love your video
That interior looks insane!😍
Nice , but needs at least 200 HP
i miss cars from 10 years ago. all these new designs are so tiring.
just a sea of crossovers that half are underpowered or priced or both 😂... 😊
Chevy did a nice job redesigning The Equinox it looks a lot better.
Much better looking than Rav4 or CRV, just missing the hybrid, which is a big disadvantage.
Great review can’t wait for the driving review later.
Thanks.
01:45, I think that people that don’t deal with fog designed that location. Lower the better on fogs! 🤦🏼♂️
Nice job on the redesign, Chevy. I only worry about the nameplate driving people away. Most people associate the Equinox with rental cars.
If this or the new Terrain had the option for the TurboMax engine found in the Colorado and SuperCruise. I would happily pay the premium.
Great review. The back seats to me look more like a 70-30 split. But that could be my eyes.
Thanks!
guys, between this and a cx50, which one would you pick?
Best thing about this car....its made in mexico! So no worrying if the UAW employee was sober the day he screwed the bolts in. My 2020 drives great, and gets 36 mpgs on road trips.
Design dept of Chevy is better than ford
Yes especially the 1.5l motor. It's 20 times better than the rav4 motor.
Finally equinox bring good design.
Nice looking suv I would consider it
Baby Traverse...
You fellas have been reviewing cars since you were 12 and 16? I guess you 2 aren't twins after all!
I am curious: To what Buick model would you compare the Equinox with? The Envision, maybe?
Yes, they're of similar size
There is no Buick that platforms with this, size wise an Envision would be the closest and only comparison.
Equinox is a compact suv, envision is a subcompact.
I wonder why the RS has to have red interior colors. I think the RS exterior looks good but the red inside is over doing it.
Really nice upgrade. But, Chevy MUST increase the h.p. 175hp just is not enough for even a small suv. Minimum should be 240hp at least.
They used to offer the 2.0 turbo in the old equinox with around 250 hp, it got discontinued cuz of low sales numbers...
Most ppl are looking to spend less on gas, not more. Lower sales when they offered the higher hp engine.
You need to research this class to see that no model is starting at 240hp and they don't need to.
@@lilred1107 The Dodge Hornet GT and Ford Escape ST Line Elite both offer 250+ hp from a turbo 4 cyl, non hybrid engine...
@@BigAltimaEnergy719the Hornet doesn't sell in any trim level, and if I had to guess, Ford doesn't sell too many STs. I'm pretty appaled that GM carried over the 1.5 as well but it never needed to be a standard 200+ HP either. 190 with improved efficiency would have been great.
Looks great! But is it going to be reliable long term?
Where is the cigarette lighter outlet to hook a pump to pump the tire up
Love the way it looks also. The design and color palette are fire. No SuperCruise and that awful engine/transmission. Pass for now. Maybe they’ll listen to customers and shoppers to change that dang powertrain and add SuperCruise as a stand alone option…
The black interior is a deal breaker for me. If they had a light gray or beige I would consider it. I also don't like the headlight controls.
Cant believe they continue with the same crappy engine!
What's wrong with it?
@@blissfuljoy6049 underpowered and unreliable
@blissfuljoy6049 ,
Absolutely nothing, just purchased an RS for my daughter: AMAZING Vehicle!!!
@@otherZinc we had the old version as a rental and it was totally fine. It seemed to drive ok. I just didn't like the exterior.
I’ve got one as a company car and so far put 50000 miles on it with no issues.
Let me know when they get more power.
The location of the emergency light is strange.
Is it good on gas?
Anddd queue the pissed off Toyota fanclub 🏃♂️
Lol. That would be my brother when he sees me drive up with this.
It should be at least 2.5L engine and 250HP
Is it going to last????
GM discard 2.0T engine in all new compact cars!?
The Envision has the 2.0 liter.
What's up with this car? It's on sale now but there hasn't been a media drive? Weird.
Looks nice unfortunate they forgot to include an engine.
tough you cant watch anything with out an add from kamala. great video tho.
It's good to know that the rav4 and crv will still be at the top of the list
Why do GM interiors all look so CHEAP?
Anybody miss the old GM seatbelt chime?
I bought this one on labor day but FWD for $40.5 fully loaded with taxes and fees.
Lost me at 175 hp 1.5 liter CVT.
Beautiful vehicle, winning interior, WORST power and fuel economy in class by a long shot. C'mon GM, so close!
It isn't the worse power for the segment, fuel economy could definitely be worked on but that's why the EV model exists.
@@lilred1107 Wrong. It literally is the worst power is segment. There's no compact crossover that is worse.

@@BoopSnoot OK, you give one example and make an argument out of it, got it.
@@lilred1107 No, I told you EVERY 2024 or 2025 Compact Crossover today has better power/economy. Rogue, CRV, CRV Hybrid, Tucson, Tucson Hybrid, RAV4, Rav4 HEV, Rav4 Prime, Outlander PHEV, Forester, CX5, CX50, Tiguan, Sportage, Sportage Hybrid.

I've been driving a 2024 Rav4 adventure and looking at this one this beats the rav 4 by a mile, not to mention better reliability and more features.
Why can’t Toyota achieve this level of design? It seems that the one shortcoming of Japanese engineering might be design and refined taste.
175HP from the same crappy engine...LOL!
What car you have?
Never heard anything bad about this engine
GM 1.5T has been way more reliable than Honda 1.5T
@@sdjrinc.6921 they are both great engines. Honda had a small issue early on in 2016 that affected 10 percent of the engines. Nothing major.

How does this have less cargo space than the Rav4? This looks way bigger than Rav4. Everything is bigger than the tiny cramped Rav4. Even Honda Civic, a compact Sedan seems bigger than Rav4
It's called interior packaging, this model favors rear seat space over cargo space.
Nope, Rav 4 has 75 cubic ft of cargo space. Equinox has 63.
@@RandallDenison That's strange. I've sat in a Rav4, it's one of the most cramped and tiny claustrophobic SUV I've ever sat in.
