Aged To Perfection, Or Past Its Prime? 2023 Chevrolet Equinox

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Since Chevy launched the third-gen Equinox back in 2018 nearly every competitor has had a clean-sheet redesign, so where does that put one of Chevy's most popular models? Especially now that Chevy has cut the engine lineup and a new model is around the corner. In a nutshell, the Chevy is focusing on affordability. With leases as low as 199, low-interest financing, and cash off-offers, the Equinox is targeting shoppers looking for a deal, but there are still solid reasons for the rest of us to check it out. the 1. 5L turbo has solid performance, fuel economy is reasonable, it's proven to be reliable and the handling and braking performance is sharp. On the other hand, it hasn't aged as well as Mazda's CX-5. George: Just like Ford Chevy will sell as many as they can produce of these just because of the badge plus General Motors has such a strong presence in China as well so no shortage of spare parts for the parts bin. Certainly great news for all of the GM Dealerships out there which really need some metal to move which I imagine is the point of this vehicle.

I think you wanted to not like this vehicle but ended up liking it more than you expected. It has almost all the tech you'll need- most competitors do not have a 360 camera view. A lot do not have a pano sunroof. A bigger screen does not equal better. The controls are very easy to use without being on the screen or having haptic feedback buttons. If someone buys one- or leases- or rents at the airport- they know it isn't a hybrid. They could get a different vehicle. Not all Rav 4 owners get the hybrid model.

This platform is only 5 yrs old
The front end is absolutely gorgeous. nicer than many other vehicles
The Terrain I agree is not nicer and it's more expensive. scratch it off my list
Fuel economy is lousy
Consider a Buick Park Avenue with a powerful V6 got 30 mpg on the hwy way back
The interior is really nice
Huge back seat room
I think this is a great choice

What everybody here in the comments doesn't realize is that here in Michigan almost everyone has a Equinox or knows somebody that does. So thanks for the well done and excellent review of one of the most affordable and easy to find parts for a SUV on the market. (FYI we still have a ton of Pontiac Aztecs on the road in Michigan as well )

I'm not sure why you keep mentioning the Malibu - we get it there's family resemblance/parts sharing.
Next gen can't come quick enough, GM just left the Equinox out to dry w/o keeping up with the competition AT ALL.
All of Chevy's vehicles need better interiors for the next generations.

Chevrolet today is like 2000s Hyundai. Not your first choice, or your second, or even your third. but if the Chevy dealer is the only one who can approve you for financing, you'll take it.

It's kinda misleading to say this is one of Chevy's 'most popular models. ' That should probably be clarified to 'Chevy's most popular model for rental fleets and corporate fleets. '

My sister-in-law has a nicely-optioned redline edition, but it's all wasted on her because she doesn't use/doesn't know how to use the options available.
You can't change that.

Clueless! The Equinox has a spare tire and 2 levers to fold down the rear seats. Also has auto park assist available: do your research.

Boring in every way, same as the Escape, but they sell loads of them for a reason. Reasonably priced and doesn't do anything terribly.
reply

Gonna be one of your least viewed videos ever, but gotta show GM to gain favor for the new Hummer soon! Maybe Celestiq!

It's a fine car also the worst car in the segment. Good god. this was behind 10 years ago still tanking on the patriots.
reply

The equinox didn t feel particularly modern when it was new. Well past it s prime and relegated to rental parking lots.
