2018 Chevy Equinox raised the bar once again!!

I recently purchased a 2018 Chevy Equinox AWD Premier package. I would have to say GM has once again raised the bar with this vehicle. The performance, economy and drivability have been great. It handles well in snow conditions. Power performance with the Turbo assist is excellent. Interior comfort level is the best I have ever had. And the new safety features (blind spot warning, adaptive cruise, collision avoidance, auto headlight dimming) are superb. (No it does not release me from my obligation to be a safe driver but it does assist me when it comes to dealing with other vehicles/drivers around me when driving.) Controls are located within easy reach when driving. The ability to link to my iPhone is also a plus not to mention the CarPlay feature. I have been a GM person all my life (have owned 14 GM vehicles in my 68 year life time) and this is by far the best GM vehicle I have ever owned. Thank you GM for making this such a wonderful experience to drive!!!

A WONDERFUL VEHILCLE

I HAD SEARCHED FOR A NEW CAR AND DECIDED ON THE 2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX WITH THE 2.0 L ENGINE. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED MY EQUINOX FROM DAY 1. THE CAR RIDES GOOD, HANDLES GOOD, AND IN MY OPINION LOOKS GOOD. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES ON IT WITH NO COMPLAINTS EXCEPT I KEEP PUTTING TOO MANY MILES ON IT, I LOVE TO DRIVE IT, AND THE 2.0 L ENGINE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.

Don't buy, Chevy is not making replacement parts

NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE!!! I have been waiting over a month for a headlight. No estimated delivery date. So much for driving my new 2018 Chevy Equinox. My insurance rental is also so up. So no car for me to get to work!!!!

Impressed owner

This vehicle has wowed me all around. Plenty of leg room in front and back. Lumbar support on driver's seat and adjustable power seat for comfort. Everything is accessible for driver and passenger. Plenty of cargo room. Digital menus make it easy to read and know when the vehicle is due for a service. Back up camera is in a good location and screen is a great size for viewing. A touch screen makes changing the stereo easy and convenient.

Disappointing ....

Selected one of these at the rental agency during a trip because I wanted to compare it to the previous version (2016) that I drive. Well, I'll keep mine thank you. Not sure how GM considers this an upgrade from the previous model. Quite simply the seats suck, the ride is very noisy compared to mine, it's a lot smaller, feels like a Toyota Corolla more than and SUV. And the dashboard .... really? It's like GM didn't even evaluate the competition before designing this thing. And wouldn't you know it, seems the local Chevy dealer's large inventory of these isn't decreasing much. I don't see any on the road. I think GM ruined the Equinox name with this new model. Very Disappointed!

Just bought it & it fits my needs.

I had an Avalanche, and it was too big for me. This one is just right for me. It is a good size, love the color & will be very economical for my everyday use.

For a 4cly powerful engine, recomend the Turbo

Stylish and powerful engine, great pick up on the highway. Cannot complain about the gas mileage, very comfortable ride. Handles very nicely in the city as well on the highway
