2019 Chevrolet Equinox consumer reviews

The 2019 Chevy Equinox Premier 2.0 AWD is great overall. The 2.0 liter model is very reliable on the freeway and works wonderfully for family trips with children as the back seat is quite comfortable. The 1.5 liter model struggles to get up to freeway speeds in our prior test drive, but it doesn't feel like that at all with the 2.0 liter. The Bose Premium Audio does not have a subwoofer, but the speakers have a deep low range and provide the feeling of a full audio experience. It's quite entertaining when you are jamming out at high volume and your pantleg is rattling from the door speaker. Issue 1. The front seats are rather short leaving 4-5 finger widths from the end of the seat to the back of the legs which results in your legs feeling like they are dangling off the seat, whereas you want something closer to 2-3 finger widths. I am average height of 5'9", so this would be more uncomfortable for taller people. The passenger seat specifically presses into your right leg causing it to start to go numb after 30 minutes, so long road trips in the front passenger seat are quite uncomfortable. Issue 2. I have the 2.0 Premier AWD with every bell and whistle available, and it still "feels" like I am surrounded by plastic. I understand that Chevy is not a luxury brand, but the max comfort trim leaves much to be desired. Issue 3. The Adaptive Cruise feature will randomly disable itself in clear weather. It rarely happens, but it seems to happen for no obvious reason. Disabling Cruise Control and re-enabling it resolves the matter, so it is a minor annoyance more than anything. Something I found amusing - The owner's manual says to use 5w30 for all weather conditions above -20f, then has a caveat to use 0w30 in -20f conditions, and then on the next page has yet another caveat to use 0w40 in -20f conditions.

This review is for a 2.0 turbo AWD Equinox Premier that I bought new six years ago and put 95,000 miles on. Sadly, this 252 HP engine was discontinued shortly after I bought it. Only maintenance in its life were infrequent car washes, twelve oil changes, twelve tire rotations, four new tires at 66,000 miles, rear brakes at 72,000 miles, air and cabin filters replaced twice. I’m still on my original battery and original front brakes. It should be noted that I only use 5W-30 Mobil 1 oil and I change the oil myself religiously as the car tells me to, and rotate tires the same week. For disposal, I pour the oil back into the same container that it was purchased in, so I can say without a doubt that the car has never burned (or leaked) a single shot glass of oil in its entire life. I have never reset the odometer since the car left the factory, so I can say that it has averaged 26.2 miles per gallon over its life, terrific given the power that it has, though I will say that almost all of its miles are highway. That also explains why my mileage on my tires and brakes are so good. And I should add a comment on the auto stop/start that so many in here don’t seem to like. I love it.

I have a 2019 Equinox . The air conditioner went out with only 35.000 miles. Have taken the 4 shops replaced all components, and still No cold air.. No one can figure out..

I've been driving this car for nearly two years, have added 38k miles on it so far, and am now pushing 95K everything's been great, I haven't had any reliability issues, and everything is running smoothly. However, the gas mileage is nowhere near their claims, granted to don't drive conservatively but I'm getting anywhere from 19-22 mpg. Great car overall, especially for the price.

I owned my Chevy for 2.5 years. I live in MI and for not having AWD, I thought it handled great in the snow (didn't drive go off-roading of course ;) ), and I had snow tires (I would recommend snow tires no matter what!) Never had any huge issues. I was told to always check the oil since these cars are know for leaking however, I never had an issue. The caliper started to stick (had less than 58k miles). At random times while at a stop, the vehicle would shake a little, nothing crazy but odd. I would hear horror stories of these Chevys going out at 80K, and that started to make me nervous. The auto-stop was annoying, no way to turn that off. I noticed that the auto-stop would go off by itself it you were stopped for longer than a min. I went to a Toyota Camry and after hearing/seeing all the review for those, I am happy that I no longer own this ticking timebomb. However, by the grace of God, I was never left stranded, it always got me to where I needed to go. Good luck to any future buyers.

The car is a good gas saver however the performance is a little off. The system as far as coils or tune up will go out without warning . Also the tire sensors are off

I bought a 2019 Equinox Premier after owning two Ford Edge Limiteds. The interior of this thing is great. All the bells and whistles. It had about 70k miles on it which is more than I like, but it also had a clean CarFax and I take good care of my cars so I figured even with a few more miles I could get several years out of her. I had this vehicle 5 weeks, drove it less than 1200 miles, and the transmission went out. Left me stranded at night on the side of a highway. I've NEVER had this happen with another car (I've owned 3 Fords, a Nissan, and a Pontiac back in the day). I'll never buy a Chevy again.

My second Equinox. Love the size and performance for around town. Just wish there was air vents in the back seat. The interior is well layed out.

Hesitates when gears shift. Outdated design. Bought a rouge only got the Chevy equinox as they didn't have a rogue I liked in stock. Poor, poor gas mileage

I have only had my 2019 for a few months, after I traded my 2017 Equinox for the 2019. I have no complaints about it thus far.
