Leased it. Liked it so much I'm buying it.

My previous car a (Saturn Vue), was fully loaded, so I leased an Equinox Premier. The driver information display and safety features are awesome. The car is comfortable to drive for either long or short trips, and it's a miser with gas. I am averaging 24 mpg in New York metro area rush hour traffic. The 2.4 liter engine took some getting used to because my previous car had a 3.6 liter V6, but the engine is more than adequate. It seats 5 comfortably, and has more than ample storage. I am buying it in a couple of months when the lease ends.

Best Car I have ever owned!

Was looking for a newer car to replace my old Santa Fe. This was perfect for me! Very smooth ride, great gas mileage, beautiful interior, and lots of leg room. My husband is 6' 2" so we were always kind of limited on who could sit behind him when he was driving. This is no longer an issue with the Equinox, and I didn't have to lose any storage room in the back. So excited for my new car!

Dream Car

I thought I wanted to buy a new car but this car met all my wishes and is a 2017 model. After driving a 2005 model that was bought new, I knew Chevrolets were dependable. The professionalism that all the staff handling my purchase extended to me mad me feel as if I were buying a 2019 model.

Great vehicle for the money.

Love the Equinox. Heated seats, backup camera are two of the many features we like. The adjustable rear seat allows for extra leg room or more room in the cargo area. The 2.4 4 cylinder has more than enough power and the gas mileage is wonderful.

Reliable vehicle

This car has been everything! I wanted a vehicle I could feel safe in and would get me where ever I needed with out a problem. It has all wheel drive which is great in the state I live in. It has plenty of room and it’s very sleek inside. I’m so happy I made this purchase.

Better (2017) than Honda CRV (2015)

Bought a 2017 LT Equinox AWD in 2019 1) Quieter than CRV (5) 2) Braking is smoother than CRV (5) 3) Engines about equivalent (4) 4) Anti-lock brake on snow/ice condition better than CRV (5) 5) Mylink does not allow installing Carplay - worse than CRV (3) - have to rely on my wife's i-phone on a trip. I will give CRV a (4) 6) Back seat cannot recline - CRV reclines by ~2 inches (3) - only if I have to sit in the back 7) Reliability - TBD (CRV's battery died after 3.5 yrs) 8) Value: I paid ~$27 K in 2015 for a new CRV with AWD and ~$16K for this used Equinox (7400 miles) almost like new. I have been impressed except for the Carplay availability.

Excellent quality

Great quality vehicle. Excellent safety reviews. Good accessories. Good performance. Only dislike is frequently thumping my head on the top of the doorframe getting in and out of the vehicle

Equinox

Love it! Was in a serious accident and the air bags saved me from getting hurt. I currently bought a 2019 to replace my other truck that I didn't plan to replace but keep until it won't run any more....

Best SUV I've ever owned!

I just love this car. The backup camera is awesome and really helps with blind spots. Talking about blind spots, it also lights up on the side mirrors when a car is in my blind spot while driving. It makes me so safe!
