For sure, they just keep improving their vehicles. Good job Chevrolet. Pushing us all to SUV crossovers though deleting the Malibu recently. No affordable sedans will be built eventually. 😡

@@FroggyplayzTyyyThis is coming from someone who owned a 2014 Malibu 2LT and absolutely loved it until it was totaled at 125k miles. Barely had any issues AT ALL with it the entire time I had it. Chevy should’ve trolled Toyota and offered a brand new Malibu in 2025 with a more powerful hybrid and AWD setup for its last generation and their Segway to fully electric sedans.

Love how Chevrolet offers great storage throughout their new vehicles but most importantly they’re always sure to include out of sight storage for things you may not want kept out in the open.
I prefer the RS trim of the new Equinox, it looks the best to me but this new generation is well done in general. Compared to the outgoing model, this looks so much better inside and out. I love the DRL, taillight updates and new wheel designs but most importantly the all new interior. Gone is that rental fleet interior cabin, this new Equinox’s interior looks like a proper step up from the new Chevy Trax!
A vehicle that size should be able to tow more than 1500 pounds. But with only 175 horsepower, it can barely move itself and passengers, much less do it while towing anything. It looks great in and out, but severely lacking in power.
Yeah idk why they are doing this with alot of new cars...small 4 bangers with turbos and they just keep getting bigger it stupid give us atleast 230 hp so it can have a little pep 175 is weak
I'm not a huge fan of GM given their reputation for poor reliability over the last 30yrs, but I have to give credit where it's due. They're doing a great job with the styling of their latest offerings. I also have to credit them for offering interesting and unique color choices. Time will tell how the seemingly small and underpowered 1.5L turbo and CVT hold up over time. It's the same powertrain as the one in the Malibu, which has had some major mechanical issues.
We have a 2018 Equinox with the 1.5L turbo, no problem whatsoever, plenty of torque and fast enough. But, this is true for city driving (99% of our driving is city) but once on the highway, these small engines becomes a joke, even dangerous. So it depends what you use it for. City = Good / Highway = bad.
Definitely better than the last model and a good option for a small family *not looking for a 3rd row vehicle*. I see these selling really well for Chevy. Ty for the review!!
i heard some sort of rumor they were gonna produce a plugin hybrid variant with a 0-60 in the range of 5 to 6 seconds, which is interesting, though they are already producing a plugin hybrid equinox in other countrys
Needs a Premier trim level along with a 2.0 liter turbo option and an actual hybrid like literally every other competitor offers. They also are too restrictive on interior color options on most models
Solid car and solid pricing. New Rav4 non-prime can easily surpass 40K. Even the CRV Sport Touring is 40K but lacks 360 camera, ventilated seats, and so many other features offered on numerous rivals. And then we have the Rogue which somehow can go up to like 44K and its a non hybrid. Hopefully the RS and Activ trims remain under 40K with the pano roof, etc.
Of course the CRV Sport Touring is a hybrid model with standard AWD. The Equinox doesn’t have a hybrid and the prices provided were for the front wheel drive models.
@@1950rking The CRV hybrid 100% does not have a standard AWD system. AWD is a $1500 option on the hybrid trim levels. My point still stands that 42K is insane for a CRV that doesn't even come with cooled seats, panoramic roof, 360 camera, heads up display, etc. I mean it's less expensive to buy a Model AWD Long Range which is hilarious. A fully electric vehicle should not cost as much as a basic hybrid. The CRV is a nice car but not worth it's price. Better options to be had. Also keep in mind you are more likely to receive a few thousand off the Chevy price. Honda on the other hand you might not even get msrp
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 You specifically stated the Honda CRV Sport Touring trim level. That trim does come standard with AWD. AWD is a $1500 option on the two lower hybrid trim levels. We have no idea what the price of the Equinox will be. Only the base price was shown. Many of the features shown in the video will be options as American manufacturers are prone to do. The Equinox may indeed turn out to be the better value, but we don’t know that yet.
Looks great, I regret not waiting for this. I bought a Blazer EV and quickly learned an EV wouldn’t work so now I’ll be trading it in for one of these as soon as they are available.
Like always, the main question will be how reliable it will be. The car looks impressive and undercuts the CRV and rav4 when it comes to pricing, but will Chevy be able to compete? We all know they love to cut corners
GM has used Jatco in the past for CVT. I wonder if GM is using Nissan/Jatco's new CVTX for this? Seems to be a winner so far, chain driven, beefed up substantially. Since Nissan started using these in the 2019/20 Altima and now Rogue, transmission issues have disappeared. That'd be a huge step up and should give them a direly needed boost to fuel economy. Current Equinox mpg is dreadful.
Wow, what a lineup overhaul. They are going to be very competitive with all of their crossovers with these new designs. The designers at Chevy have really improved the brand image in the last 4-5 years. Would love to see them add a small hatchback FWD and a new midsize sedan.
Wow, Chevy has really stepped up their game with the SUVs. From the Trax on up they've really hit home runs. They look tougher, more finished, and the color combinations inside and out are not just unique, but attractive.
Make the RS truly an RS with the 2.5L from the Traverse. That would create some buzz! Regardless, it's an improvement over the outgoing model for sure.
The new design looks much better than the previous design. Chevy needs to step up their game and offer a lager engine option and ditch the CV transmission in the FWD models. The 8-speed automatic is the only way to go for this size of vehicle. CVT's are so mundane and made for light weight economy vehicles. If you like your driving experience spirited and enjoy the sound of your engine going through the gears, then a CV transmission is not for you. Come on Chevrolet, you have designed a great looking Equinox, now offer some get down the road performance to go with the RS and Active trim options. Many are complaining about the only small four-cylinder engine being offered in this decent size vehicle. Power to weight ratio is more than likely not going to be very impressive.
Nice preview. Looks like Chevy's done an excellent job revamping the Equinox. Definitely among the best-looking cars in this segment; probably THE best interior design.
Great Review as always. Chevrolet has stepped it up finally . One thing I notice as this will be a soccer mom kid hauler and just people with children kind of vehicle .Those suede like inserts will become absolutely disgusting in a week. Without a way to clean suede properly and as a daily use car this will drastically reduce resale with stained seats. Something to note for real life buyers. The End ..
from what I've been reading the heated seats and steering wheel is standard on all trims. I am wondering and hoping there will be a 12v outlet on the center console? Final production model will tell everything.
Love that under-bed storage, and they still have room to include a spare tire 👍. Not loving the switch to digital gauge clusters - wonder how much those will cost to replace when they break. Glad at least that the HVAC retains physical controls 👍. Good looking rig overall, though.
Wow 🙀 what a beautiful vehicle 😍 I currently own the 2020 Equinox Premier and I'm in love. The only things I would love to upgrade are the screens with these new ones 😅 wish Chevy would just let us upgrade to the new ones instead of buying a whole vehicle 😢
Chevy's poor reputation for Reliability Super cruise not available. Underpowered engine No spare tire No hybrid But still $33k?? But overall atleast it's looking good, especially the interiors. Far far better than the current model
I don't mind the plastic as long as it's not VW cheap, the storage is a big plus, however, only 175HP? More back storage in my Outback, but a bit limited in the front, the deep cubby is cool. The only thing I like about the leather and vegan leather (lol) is it's easy to clean, anytime you have cloth in there, it can be an issue, hopefully they have leather seat upgrades in the Chevy, Sunroof in California is a must, but ventilated seats might be a worthy alternative.
i have a cruze which runs the same platform as the equinox, havnt seen the new equinox though current equinoxes and my cruze have like the highest quality hard plastics i have ever felt in comparison to toyota, honda, subaru, mercedes, audi, ram, jeep, mazda, ford, better than anything so i do NOT mind gm hard plastics
Less than halfway through the video and I have noticed two things... First, I don't necessarily like cars that have absolutely no visibility in front of the passenger side mirror, nothing to see some kid running or riding in front of you from there, except for that newfangled relying on cameras thing. Second, I don't like the dark cave feeling of the back of a vehicle without even a rear window to see some vantage around you as well. That's actually one of the reasons I would never get an RX. I know these sound trivial, but a lot of car makers are catching up to Subaru and Volvo with the actual "human comfortability factor" of not needing cameras for this regular type of thing.
I’m in the market for a small SUV and I have to admit that on looks alone I would consider the Equinox. But, Chevy really missed the boat when it comes to issues on my must have list. The small horsepower engine, specifically, the lack of a hybrid power train, the smaller space in back compared to the competition and the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay would keep me from buying it.
The video title literally challenges the RAV4 so of course Toyota people are going to weight in. If you're buying a car for 3-5 years, Chevy is a good option. If you're buying a car for 10-15 years, Toyota is what you want. Different buyers have different goals.
I’m really hoping GM brings the PHEV version of this to the US. Only selling it in China is silly This is a very handsome vehicle regardless. Thanks for the great video
I own a 2011 Equinox w/90,000 miles. I love it. This new Equinox looks great. However, I don't like all of the intrusive data sharing by GM through Google & monitoring your every move, calls. speed, driving habits etc. It's criminal in my book. No privacy.
Buy a Chev over a Toyota.... yeah thats a great idea ( sarcasm font lol) My wife has a 2004 camry that she bought new... you cant kill it. We just bought a new 2024 rav4 hybrid. Best hybrid system on the most reliable suv.
I am a Toyota guy, but will admit that Toyota has always built pretty boring and ugly cars. The current Rav4 is beyond dated, and has been ugly from the start, Im guessing the 2025 or 26 will be a much needed redesign. Even with boring ugly cars, they were always priced a little less than their competitors and reliability was the best. Now, they are priced above their competitors, and all the new 4 cy engines are having issues. There is NO WAY I am paying 35-40k for a Rav4. My 2018 was 24k out the door.
Did they fix their oil burning issues. I have 2013 just terrible. Had oil changed regularly at dealership. Then of course right after warranty started smelling oil burning. And took in in and was 2 quarts low and never had a oil light come. Even to this day when it gets low.
Looks like another gorgeous yet most likely severely underpowered SUV from our friends at GM (assuming curb weight of +/- 3,500 lbs). Come on, GM, give us some POWER!
❤great video, sadly GM can't bring PHEV version to US 😓It seems ev related products from China have been banned，even US brands made in China products got no exemption

It's always funny seeing how the Toyota fanclub inserts themselves into unrelated videos trying to prove a point that doesn't mean anything.
Always.
The video title literally challenges the RAV4 so of course Toyota people are going to weight in. If you're buying a car for 3-5 years, Chevy is a good option. If you're buying a car for 10-15 years, Toyota is what you want. Different buyers have different goals.
No ventilated seats?? Heads up display??
Looks great
How about long term reliability?
Does GM even know what that means?
@@herlastvoyage my experience with GM is 50,000 mile transmissions that give out right after the power trane warranty expires
Depends on how you define long term? If you don’t drive much (less than 5k/year), it might last ten years.
2018-2019 Equinox is rated above-average reliability verdict by Consumer Reports, second most-reliable after Toyota RAV4. Better than Honda CR-V too.
No tactile light switch, and appears to have no 12 volt outlet in dashboard area.
Chinese version is PHEV. Will it be available in NA market?
Not at this time
Torque will probably be good with a turbo, but HP seems a bit low for a vehicle of that size.

The current Rav4 is beyond dated, and has been ugly from the start, Im guessing the 2025 or 26 will be a much needed redesign. Even with boring ugly cars, they were always priced a little less than their competitors and reliability was the best. Now, they are priced above their competitors, and all the new 4 cy engines are having issues. There is NO WAY I am paying 35-40k for a Rav4. My 2018 was 24k out the door.
Did they fix their oil burning issues. I have 2013 just terrible. Had oil changed regularly at dealership. Then of course right after warranty started smelling oil burning. And took in in and was 2 quarts low and never had a oil light come. Even to this day when it gets low.
Does that model has a Toyota drive trance and motor no
Has there been an announcement on when this model will be out?
Not yet but we're expecting to hear from Chevy soon 👍
It's out now. You can order at the dealership and chevy website
Looks like another gorgeous yet most likely severely underpowered SUV from our friends at GM (assuming curb weight of +/- 3,500 lbs). Come on, GM, give us some POWER!
175 HP? You can get more than that in a Honda Civic. That is lowest in this segment, Fail.
❤great video, sadly GM can't bring PHEV version to US 😓It seems ev related products from China have been banned，even US brands made in China products got no exemption
But the Chevys are made in Mexico…
Can't wait for the GMC's equivalent
The pricing is actually not bad 😱😱
Do you all have an idea as to when this new 2025 will drop or when dealerships will start taking reservations?
