Nice update! JD Power rated the last gen Equinox as most reliable in its class. If they can maintain that with this new look they will have a winner here!
I will tell you the Activ model looks so much better in person than it does on these videos. And the green is actually good looking. I'm going to drive one.
Sad to see there isn't a hybrid option yet. My local Chevy dealership got a couple Equinox EVs in recently. Nice to see them showing up and the price wasn't too bad either. I noticed the road noise immediately when you switched to the active trim. Huge difference there. But nice review as always.
Chevy had 5 years to work on this new generation and for that we get recycled engine and transmission with no improvement in gas mileage. Not sure what the aversion is for more power and better fuel efficiency as seen with the Toyotas or Hondas hybrids. Nice looking vehicle but in todays market the mileage really is the low point
Great video, Matt. I dont know if you agree, but why can't gm stop using abysmal colors on interiors ? They seats and dash are some of the ugliest I've ever seen. Other than that, it looks really nice! But the color combo of the interior kills it for me severely
Nice review Matt but I just can’t except the CVT on the front wheel drive version which is the one I would get. Also the engines are so inferior to the Japanese competitors. It’s unfortunate because the styling is excellent, especially the RS version with a premium paint color.
GM still has not figured out how to compete with Honda and Toyota, they could focus group the hell out of this vehicle segment but it seems they’ll never be able to match the Asians, this is the biggest vehicle segment in the US at this point I think
Damn.. it looks really good. Too bad any mechanic would tell you to run away from it. I would buy american if it made sense.. but it doesent. So old Toyotas it is.
I really dont care about screens, and moon roofs, and i almost laughed when you mentioned an EV version. Why would anyway care abkut, support or even mention EVs.

Biden cafe standards.
Previous generation had a 6 speed.
This is nice only thing I think it needs is a boost in power but overall I like it.
Nice Review Matt 👌🏾
Nice looking vehicle
I'm glad they finally made it a little more rugged looking and capable ish.
Nice review Matt
I wish someone would compare it to the Rogue
Seems like a nice vehicle; thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching Jazz!
Wow! You could really hear more road noise in the Activ model versus the RS model!
I have a question is there a cigarette lighter power outlet for the front on the 2025 Chevy equinox
I'm a huge fan of these wide stance refreshes and the "martian green" colors manufacturers are now pushing out. Great review!
Thanks, me too!
It's like a Trax, but all grown up. Nice.
I actually thought it was the Traverse. I think it’s a great design!

Nice as it looks, the engine size is off putting. It’s a nope from me.
175hp! 😂

Words rugged and sporty really mean nothing in your videos. Rs has the cheap black plastic just like the active. Nothing about any of these are sporty
I'll take physical HVAC + touch screen light controls over the opposite. Offering FWD on the Activ was a strange decision.
🙂👍
Chevrolet Equinox has always been a bad vehicle.
Really? Its listed in the top compacts by JD power. 85 out of 100. RAV4 has 83 out of 100.
Look for yourself
@@techpappeelmao that just proves JD power is not to be trusted
@@MirsTrip mmk
@@techpappee there’s been many reports of GM buying JD Power awards.
There’s no way an Equinox is a more dependable vehicle than a RAV4
JD power is a sham.

No hybrid available in 2025, a huge miss.
I don't want a hybrid. But I do want top trim
@ericdolby1622 good for you, but I won't go back to a non hybrid as I care about my gas budget
