Purchased Equinox RS FWD 3 weeks ago. The SAFETY technology is great, screen is super huge, the RS trim "pops". Have 300 miles on it, mixd mileage around 25 mpg. 19" wheels look great, the various cameras are super. I am PLEASANTLY surprised with the power from the 1.5L Turbo Charge engine - enough power there when you need it. If anything, there is SO MUCH to learn as .far as options for the technology is making it a bit of a challenge. BTW - also love wireless charging, and extra space under counsel. Seats are SUPER COMFY and good lumbar support She left out that the steering wheel is "flatter" on the bottom, which helps you get out more easily. We had been a FORD Escape family - But EQUINOX knocks it out of the park with this re-design.
You demonstrated the Equinox well. Does it offer the Bose sound system upgrade? The web site doesn't mention any entertainment upgrade. How is the standard sound system? Thanks.
The 2025 Equinox is Amazing. Purchased a Loaded 25 Equinox RS for my daughter. The rear view mirror Camera View was a main selling point, among other Safety Features.

Thank you for this review. How did you find the ride quality between the RS vs. the Activ? I wonder if the Activ [with it's taller sidewalls & suspension changes] might be better in cities with rougher roads. Again thanks. Kindly, Graham
Great review from top to bottom and inside and out. I was wondering if the AWD powertrain was powerful enough to keep up with freeway traffic, but you made me feel comfortable that I won't have to worry about that! Thanks, Natalie!!
go with the AWD if you get this suv…the CVT will be a costly repair when not if it fails…also stay away from a GDI or turbo engine…those wont last 100k if you plan to own..leasing is ok cuz you will get rid of vehicle before you have any problems and even if you do,it will covered under warranty
This same vehicle offers a PHEV hybrid in China, it should be offered here as well. GM said plug ins will be offered in 3 years here, way too long, GM dealerships are screaming for hybrids butbtgey really want you to buy the Equinox EV. So shortsighted ! Dumn!
All of that technology means more car crashes unless you want to pull over everytime you want to change something ! No thank you give me a plan vehicle !
Why are they putting those silly off road tires on something that will never see anything but pavement? Also not thrilled with all the cheap looking black plastic on what is supposed to be the top of the line trim along with lower mileage figures on both models! Other problems with this new Equinox are its rear seat which doesn't recline or move back and forth as it does on many competitors, most models are stuck with one interior color choice per trim level and with this new electronic shifter it's going to be fun when it comes time to tow your vehicle if the battery dies and you can't shift into neutral.

I think this is one of the best looking compacts on the market
😂😂😂😂 you a lie
gm.........put a real engine in it, and You will not keep them on the lot
it's crazy that cheap cars are getting nicer interiors than most luxury cars out there
Great review!! How does the Equinox compare to the new Chevy Spin?

Bought for your adult kid??!!
😣
@billyrock8305 ,
She's a Junior in College, she earned it, so did my son. You must reward kids when they're at the top of their Class.

Awesome review! 😊
Incredible value for the money SUV 🚙

I'm curious too if the more off-road focused tire on the Activ causes more road noise/negative on road handling characteristics
Chevrolet has for a long time made great dependable cars & trucks

Wow, really nice
Chevy ain't no pushover anymore, even the all mighty Honda using GM EV technology with new Honda Prologue........
Great video. THank you
Finally, Chevy, I can cheer for this 🎉 looks like a bigger updated Trailblazer Activ
Excellent review!

That "Equinox" badging on the door kinda bothers me. I'd probably remove it. Other than that, it's a surprisingly handsome vehicle.
love that interior. on the active. way too much red on rs.
Nice ride.
Chevrolet has another winner!
I have to ask, how tall are you? This equinox looks pretty high next to you 😂

Best looking worst mpg rav4 hybrid and highlander hybrid will eat that Chevy chevy needs hybrids to be competitive in the suv market
Lost me with the new gear shift on column. Do not like.
CVT BUST…..

Enter
Chevy needs to put a naturally aspirated 6 in the equinox and get rid of that stupid turbo !
It looks too much like a truck. Just not the streamlined body I want on my suv.
Looks like a rav 4 🤮

Hello Natalie 😘
poor people buy gm
That "shark fin" c pillar thing looks odd and not very attractive, imo.
Otherwise, everything else about it looks amazing.
