The lumbar support works so well when in the car.

I think the world of this vehicle. My dog and I were overdue for the upgrade. It’s fabulous! The trunk space is most comfortable and valuable; and it is nice to have a working air conditioner in the summer heated days!!

3rd Chevy Equinox I've Owned

Love these cars, just bought my 3rd! Their easy to get into (I'm short), ride real smooth & are quiet cars. Just bought a used 2018 Equinox LT - love all the bells & whistles! My only complaint is that their "luxury seats" are too hard and don't seem to be as wide as my last vehicle. Other than that, it's an awesome car for the money and less expensive than a Toyota Highlander or Honda Rav4. Buy the Equinox instead!

A Great "Road Tripping" vehicle

We've only had the Equinox for a few weeks, but have been impressed with it so far. It is very comfortable to ride in. The seats provide ample support even without using the lumbar pillow. The 1.5L i4 Turbo is adequately responsive for acceleration. The electronic features are intuitive, useful, and well laid out. There is very little engine or road noise. Gas mileage has been at or above the posted mileage of 24 City / 30 Highway/ 27 average. We are averaging between 29 and 33. Reliability remains to be seen, as it only has 40k miles on it.

Good but not favorite

Appreciate the user-friendly infotainment system and LOVE the panoramic moonroof. Had to immediately replace overhead sunglass console due to rattling when in motion. Dashboard glass begins to buzz around 70mph.

2018 Chevy Equinox Premier

Love this vehicle. I upgraded from a 23 year old Nissan SUV and love the back-up camera, leather seats, sound system, tow hitch, etc. I also wanted a color that I liked, and love the Nightsky Metallic Gray!

Nice Car

Comfortable vehicle with nice safety features. I wish they still made vehicle with CD players. I purchased a new model and was not happy about not having a CD player. I am not going to use Apple Play.

Smooth ride and TONS of space!

I loved this vehicle because it had more back passenger leg room while not compromising the storage space in back. Many bells and whistles to make you feel like you are driving a more luxury vehicle without spending an arm and a leg. The only thing I don't like so far is the engine shut off to conserve energy at full stops. The transition is a little jolting and takes some time to get used to. I wish you could turn that off easier.

Happy with my purchase

Happy with it, but if I had waited a year I would have had the maps option on the screen. Also wish that it had a CD player. Other than that, love the car!
