“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
We just bought a used one. My old Equinox saved my daughter's and my life when a log truck hit us. We survived but the car was totaled. This is a great vehicle. We haven't tried all the options yet, but are looking forward to finding them.
Wanted a sports car but with having a kid this vehicle seems to make the most sense. Picking up my new equinox in a couple days.
Hope you got the Primier!
Coolness. I'm picking one up tomorrow. The rebate was $6500 dollars.👍
Just bought a used 2020 equinox premier 2.0 T. Has 14000 miles and got it for $23750 figure I saved around 10-12K. Has the tow package and I will be towing a tent trailer..So far love it.
You're one of the best car reviewers. It's nice that you mention what the other trims have and don't have. It really helps the would be buyer. Keep it up.
Thanks, Jolie!
Chevy is stepping up their game with safety features standard!
You can pick up a fully loaded 2019, 2.0 Premier version for $10K off (26-29K). That's a deal for a starting family looking for some more space and makes it competitive with the loaded CR-V. It's such a competitive space that people will likely be swayed by their personal opinions on exterior and interior design alone.
Yes! LT was $34,500 and available now for $26,500. Comes with sunroof and nav and confidence/convenience pkg. Can't beat the price. I'm considering one this month. On my short list.
Not the biggest fan of the design, but it’s a nice car and has a well amount of options.
I like the GMC Terrain look a bit better. But the Equinox isn't to bad.
I contour on all things said. I just took delivery a few days ago of a 2019 Equinox LT highly optioned with the standard 1.5 turbo charged engine and am really satisfied with its ride, comfort, handling and performance. On one trip of combined driving of approx fifty miles it registered 36 mpg. This was at highway speeds of 70 mph freeway driving, 60 mph on two lane country roads and some city miles as well. It only has about 180 miles on it so far. Ours is the Pacific Blue with the light grey interior. I’m glad I beat the price increase as well. Our MSRP was right at $32,000. With all rebates it was a little over $25,000.00. Great deal!
One of the pluses is all the leg room both front and rear. The rear leg room comes at a small loss in rear cargo area, but I’d rather have more leg room for those in the rear seats.
I bought used car 2020 exquinox chevrolet 29k miles for 21k it's very nice in the road new car are so expensive now lol🤑🤑🤑
Got a 2014 equinox (first car I purchased on my own- college student here) and I absolutely LOVE IT it’s nice and spacious rides nicely, I have no complaints at all and I will most likely get another equinox in the next 5 years or so. Gas mileage is really nice too. I would recommend this to anyone
I just bought one of these. Being delivered Wednesday.
damn. i needa get rid of my 2015 chevy equinox for this 2020 equinox.
my new 2020 Equinox FULL steering system needs full replacing ... 1000 miles on it
Great video it's not my favorite car but still is a good option for families
Nice to see it has a proper shifter, unlike the button setup in the Terrain.
Nice review. thye of course don't tell you the downside of the Equinox. Seating position is ackward. Pedals too close to driver, seat bottom is short. Audio system is poor as the screen reflects sunlight into the eye balls, hards to see in a sunny day. Base audio system needs upgrading. The underbody is one the least covered giving no protection to parts. Exposed metal pieces. Only to be driven in states like California of Florida where there's no snow. Also the underside is very prone to corrosion. A leap forward for the current Equinox, but it's advisable to get an extended warranty. Get the 2.0 litter engine.
Great review guys. Any change of car yet Drew or still looking?
Thanks! Nothing yet!
I have a ford ranger wildtrak and one Day ill buy a vw amarok or a 2005 bmw x5 🤠. You guys are the best
Keep what you have vw and especially bmw are horrible and expensive to maintain.
Yeah I know. Tanks mate
Haven't seen an interview for the refresh of the Malibu Premier!!! Can we get one please?!?!
Hopefully one will come soon!
I like the 2020 Equinox, it’s alright, we Rented a 2019 Equinox when we went to Washington DC in June for my nephew birthday party! That’s a great price too!
9:03 that's a huge panel gape in that storage place ouch!!!!!!
Joe Taylor typical Chevy lol
There not all like that because mines not
Joe Taylor
I believe that’s a Rubber insert your seeing. The Rubber insert is meant to be pull out and washed if needed. It may not be seated correctly just needs to be pushed down little more and the gaps will go away.
Wow I’m so disappointed in Chevy!! They are supposed to be competing with ford!! Now this is why they fallen behind!!
5221972 it does come out so you can clean it
Nice car , colour & style is very nice.💟💖💚👏
I have the 2018 LS Nightfall Grey and have been enjoying it since the first day. I know when my lease(yes I leased it because it's cheaper for me and I don't drive a lot) is up I'll be interested to see what will be available for 2022.
What about the oil consumption, jumpy breaks, and lack of color choice? And no moon roof presentation?
No fatal flaws? Wait, doesn't this have the stop/start nuisance feature that you can't turn off? That kills it for me. I bet the 2021 WILL have the option to not have that on.
Well, the 2021's are on the lots now....and Chevy STILL did not put the button on the dash that disables the auto start/stop annoyance. Aarrggghhhhh! Unbelievable.
Found out there is a workaround: upon startup, drop the shifter into L and bump the gears 5 times to get it into 6th gear and just leave it there. It'll drive as normal, but you won't have to worry about the car cutting off upon stopping.
Good review, as usual, but you forgot the sound test.
After their 2010-2014 models, the rear main seals blowing, needing sometimes a complete motor replace, AND GM not covering it - I could no longer recommend anybody buy anything GM. GM has a pattern of making poor motors now. Since the bankruptcy bail out, this company has not been the same.
Plenty of space and good 2 litre engine.
You two do really good reviews. I am curious about the door and center armrest comfort. I have a nerve condition and need these points to be soft.
Thanks! The center arm rest is pretty soft. The arm rests on the door are not padded much under the leather, so it might be too hard for your condition
Just want to let you know......
Chevrolet dropped the ,”diesel engine”.....for the equinox 2020.
Due to poor sales of the diesel engine model.
germansheppard45 diesel in US?
@@donotinvite yes in USA
I am wonderring can my 2019 equinox premier version add adaptive cruise control in the market?
The outside is very similar to a Korean or Japanese SUV
Does The Strobe Lighting Lights Come Along With The Premier or Was It Specially Installed? Cause I Leased A 2020 Premier And Don’t Believe I Have Them In Mine!
I don't see that the seatbelts adjust... you know up on the shoulder strap...
Great review
Thanks, Steve!
Black sucks. Hot in the summer, hard to keep clean and it shows swirls if you do not wash it correctly.
I don’t understand the purpose of paying extra for navigation when people have apple CarPlay and Android auto, they’re just losing money!
Sett navigation tells you when approaching red light camera and speed camera etc.
Great car... but I like my Denali much better
Can you do a traverse high country?
Hopefully we will have one in the next couple weeks!
*SEE YOU AT ENTERPRISE, CHEVY*
My Enterprise has tons of Nissans primarily. Then Hyundais. Some Toyotas. Only saw an Equinox once in all the times I've rented.
@@leeg3784 All I see at Enterprise are Hyundai Elantras, random Jeep's sometimes thrown in with other SUVs. But the Chevy Impala seems to be the "premium" vehicle of choice for rental agencies. You be trying to book a luxury vehicle and they tell you "we got Impalas " like nah homie shut up
Lots of car rentals actually get nissan... the older impalas were used but not many newer Chevys are used as rentals.
@@devongee1776 the newer impala premier is very nice actually.
@@andybub45 I've seen as early as 2018s. They're all in an ugly rental-car- silver or white and I simply don't care for Chevy interiors, they look like the interior that should be in trucks: big blocky dashboards with gigantic plastic HVAC vents sitting behind a fat ugly steering wheel and cluster.
That touchscreen is at a HORRIBLE angle☹️
Cute car but considerably inferior to Asian and European competitors in build quality, and performance. Rarely do you see a video review like this, and they are afraid to show you the engine compartment. This and the GM Terrain are getting better but still remain down the list especially when compared to Honda and Toyota.
Can you do a review on a 2019 Volvo VNL please
Dude, it’s a car reviewing channel, not a truck reviewing channel. Your request is almost as dumb as asking a food reviewer to review furniture on their channel.
Not sure what that is...
Car Confections it’s a semi truck lol. I don’t think this guy understands that Volvo cars and Volvo semi trucks are kind of a different division....while you’re at it why don’t you review a school bus 😂
Car Confections go to a local Volvo dealership and ask if they have a Volvo VNL, if so do a review it’s gonna be kind of wired but it’ll be something new to the channel
F15 X5 35i nothing wrong with review all kinds of vehicles
Why would buy gmc vs equinox? Looks the same.
Headline says that 2020 updates are putting safety at the forefront. You said absolutely nothing about that! What safety features?
Please visit 3:16 in the video. Thanks
이쿼녹스 좋은차
Another good review, but hard to watch. Is Chevy even trying? For a "premier" model, this thing looks like a dated hunk of plastic. They need to completely reset their design team and get some new blood in there.
Dated? The interior looks great compared to the last gen.
One of the top 10 cars to probably not make it to 100k.
My 2013 equinox is going strong at 143,000 miles
Work on vehicles for a living hope this next group is better because the 3.6 and much of the vehicles are a piece of crap. About 50 to 60,000 miles modules, engine front end,transmission and other components fail .Timing chain ,oil leaks and oil consumption. They had a lot to fix. The Chevy dealership stays full alot of transmission issues and electronic issues.
The newest gen equinox is pretty reliable according to carcomplaints.com. The newest Traverse is also doing well. I have a feeling their quality will be going up soon.
@@andybub45 if they only new how to make ground straps and modules reliable might be ok work for shop 30 years . Like most little things add up makes it a pain for customers.
All they did was change the color is mirror rims and yea same stuff on exterior 😑
Cause the generation came out several years ago... it doesnt need a full redesign yet.
First comment
both of you guys could do little bit more push-ups... and thanks for the review.
weird i thought i was here to check out a vehicle review, not a review of another mans body 🤷♂️
I can see the 2.0t being dependable, the 1.5t not so much. They still haven't gotten the styling (inside and out) right, even in its 3rd generation-they have all been straight up ugly!
The newest equinox gen is pretty reliable. Both engines.
It’s a gm run from it
Its very reliable according to Carcomplaints.com
This car is too big and bulky to not have a third row. I don’t get the point of these giant cars with no third row.
What in the world are you talking about? This thing competes with small SUVs like CRV and Rav4... they are WAAAY too small for a third row. The Traverse which is one step up has a third row.
Ths car is way too small for a third row. You would lose too much leg room in the second row.
It looks bigger in photos and video than it really is, they’re kinda compact...lending to a stubbier look in photography than is really there
Good job on a bland vehicle guys!
must be a CR-V guy.
I used to be a GM fanboy for 30 years. now I see GM is just making crap cars and SUV's for the last few years. and a 1.5 in a car this heavy? what a joke!!
"This heavy" isnt that heavy. It weighs about as much as a sedan. And the newest gen of the equinox is very reliable.
@@andybub45 too heavy for a 1.5 turbo
@@frankmarzig1972 it actually isnt... the CRV has a 1.5 turbo which IS junk and it is about equivilant to a 2.5 4 cylinder.
@@andybub45 still a joke engine in a SUV
Frank Marzegliano people don’t buy this car for its 0-60 time, and GM knows that, maybe you should re-evaluate your expectations. Go buy a Tahoe and enjoy your bigger engine.
Got rid of mine , piece of junk
What problems did you have? Old or new gen?
Howdy, great review as always! For everyone trashing reliability saying it’s American and you should by something Japanese for a reliable car, look into Nissans transmission issues,
The funny thing is, the newest gen of the equinox has very low reported problems and has no common issues.
People have a preconceived bias.
All you have to do is go to owner forums of ANY brand, Japanese or US, and there are complaints. Brand-biased reviewers (not these guys but other ones) will act like Hondas and Toyotas walk on water.
@@ktpinnacle yep. Chevy is getting better.
Yeah, the 2020 Equinox is top tier if not rated the best in class for reliability. Look it up folks before bringing your preconceived thoughts.
First comment
👍👍
My gosh I love it!! 💙💙💙💙
Ive had a good experience with GM. Especially Buick. I think this is a good looking crossover. The Premier with the 2.0T is very nice. But for the price there are all of other vehicles to shop. If this vehicle was a tad less expensive, had a AWD lock, and also got rid of the stop&start nonsense I would put this vehicle on the top of my list.
For everyone hating on the suv try test driving one.
bro i love this car, im driving a base model as a courtesy vehicle while my 2019 cruze is in the shop fearing it might get totaled out due to eletrical issues regarding a quarter panel leak with water from an accident back in june and the repair place didnt replace any seals, so it lead me into looking at this car further and honestly i had an lt cruze and was hitting myself for not getting the premiere and if it does get totaled im so getting this car in premiere i miss driving bigger vehicles lol
Jonathon bachan , hope you get your car back soon, yea the equinox is nice with the turbo engine, try an drive the 2.0 when you get a chance 😁
@@stevenjohnson4122 oh im definitly going on a test drive once this is all figured out, just looking at other options if it gets totaled out thank you
@@jonburger6158 I agree with this guy, drove the 1.5L LT model and it was very underwhelming. Got in a 2.0 Premier and a world of difference just picked mine up two days ago... love it.
@@stevenjohnson4122 Agreed, test drove a 1.5 LT yesterday was very underwhelming. Hopped in a 2.0 Premier and didnt end have to leave the parking lot, purchased it on the spot!
Great Review My Birthday is August 3 almost here
Great review! Test drove the 2020 a few days ago.. didnt mind having cloth but the 1.5L LT trim engine felt pretty underwhelming. Hopped in a 2.0L Premier and felt the difference immediately didn't even have to leave the lot.. purchased it immediately. Between the better engine, larger/flush touchscreen, and the leather just to name a few of my pro's I'd highly recommend the Premier. Love the interior too which seems to be where most negative reviews are on this vehicle. The touchscreen is slanted a tad more than some may like, but its never been a problem to see or reach, plus you've got mostly everything on the wheel to adjust the basics. Think I ended up paying about $28-29K for it new.
Thank you! Congrats on your new Equinox!
Really love your videos!! I appreciate the time you take to put in photos of other trims with different features!!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy them! 😀
My favorite Chevy SUV!! Amazing job bro.
The equinox is definetly one of my favorite Chevys! Great video!
He ain’t Chevy....he’s my brother....😁
Hi Drew and Mason 😄👋, the Equinox is quite sweet looking spec'd out in Premiere trim, and the exterior color of the one you both reviewed is really awesome 👌. Drew and Mason, I'm totally looking forward to what's next on your channel this week or next and another blooper vid for sure 😅. You all find a Volkswagen partner yet? Continue having a great summer, you two are great 🙂.
Thanks! Haven't found anything yet...
You can get fog lamps on 2020 LT models
Sadly no
Excellent review as usual. I am trying to decide which model to buy and your videos are very helpful.
Glad to hear it! That's our ultimate goal to help people make informed car buying decisions 😀
GENERAL MOTORS: PAY BACK THE 38 BILLION DOLLARS YOU OWE THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER FROM YOUR BAILOUT!! EQUINOX: POS JUNK BOX...💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Whats up with that plastic sticking out by the phone cabby i guess that's Chevy's poor quality :))
That is a removable pad so you can clean it. Nice try :)
Hands down the best riding vehicle in the class. It almost rides like a Mercedes or Caddy.
2020 escape plz review
Saw it. Very disappointed.
Second!
Will be for sale at a sketch used car dealership for about $7,899 in a few years
Does the Equinox have an option to add a HUD?
A little too big and heavy
no arm rests?
I still hate the tilted screens. I"m going to get a Ford or Toyota instead next year as there screens are flat facing and easy to read in the daylight and reach. Trucks have them though (Colorado)???
We have a Buick Encore same 8" screen and have never had an issue seeing the screen at all during the day. In fact, it's the one thing that made me go with the vehicle, love the screen. The Toyota Rav I've driven and the screen someone described as looking like a 1990 computer monitor screen. I know exactly what they were talking about. Real dated looking. Ford has a nice one, I've driven in it before.
You just have to test drive it and see for yourself. I find it ok.
I agree, I’ve got an equinox and it’s been reliable for me, but I’m completely bored with chevy and want to move to an awd Toyota Camry or Rav4
Why have you stopped posting the legroom for the front seat? That is Apsley so handy to know when you do these reviews could you please put it back thank you so much keep up the great work
Thanks for the feedback! We will add it back for you!
Thank you
NOPE!
I was all good until about 9:15 in the video. What in the world is going on with that wireless charging pad area?? Its sides are sticking out - It looks terrible. It almost looks like the sides have popped out. Really a shame to see that in what is otherwise a pretty great looking cabin.
Honestly, those vehicles are trash. They fall apart, the electronics go bad. Quality in Chevrolet/GMC whatevaaaa, is low.
Back in 2012 maybe... but newer GMs are much better. This generation of the equinox has proved to be very reliable.
They why is GM rated most dependable by JD power since 2016?
@@chevyfan8428 🤷♂️ Have they won a different award that isnt JD power? Im not a hater btw, Im new to all of these things.
BS I'm on my third Equinox
How is it trash when it's the THIRD most sold SUV in its class? Sold 332,000 last year, much more than Escape, Cherokee, Outback, Forester. Honda barely sold more.
482nd view, 62nd like, 40th comment and 0 dislikes.
It's just the same old car lame af
Great review guys but GM is so far off on interior design. Still has that 2008 look
I have a 2008 Equinox.. it doesn't even compare, but It does look like the 2018 slightly and has hard plastic on the top still.
$37,000 for an equinox! That’s crazy stupid, would never pay that
Its 2019, not 1999. Prices have changed cause more features were added, and inflation. Get with the times!
Yea stop living in the past
Welcome to modern day car pricing , you can't buy brand new CUVs under 20k like we did in 1998. A fully loaded RAV4 tops 40k , CR-V isn't far off from that either.
Andy's Shop I can buy a larger Pilot or Highlander with plenty of technology for less money! Ha
J M V sport probably one of the top 3 depreciating CUV’s out there
Looks and feels so cheap... 🤢
You probably have never been in a new gen so how can you feel if its cheap? The interior is actually very nice for a GM
Andy's Shop actually, my sister has a 2016 Tahoe premier, it’s okay, but she’s had so many problems with interior trim falling off, and a lot of mechanical issues. She’s going to sell it soon.
But, isnt it still crap?
