Love this SUV!

Love my Equinox. I have always been a sedan person so this was my first adventure with a larger vehicle. I love the roomy inside. Comfortable for all passengers. Heated seats are awesome. Wish they had the same design as the Silverado where you could turn on just the back and not the whole seat. Decided to buy out my lease while the interest rates were low and cars were scarce and I don't regret my decision. Wish it had a little more power on quick take offs.

Very happy with the Equinox

We looked at quite a few vehicles before buying a 21 Equinox Premier. Love the newer body style it rides great, very quiet and smooth. The car had Hankook tires on it, I replaced them with Michelin tires. The car has so much power even with a small engine 1.5L I guess the turbo is doing it’s job. The car has so many nice features for the price, heated and cooled seats work great, it also came with all weather floor mats as well as carpeted mats. My wife drives the car as her daily driver and she loves it and all the features it has. It’s worth a test drive.

OVERPRICED VEHICLE

I recently purchased a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox from Royal Oaks Chevrolet in Paducah, Kentucky, and the final purchase price was way too high. I was not given the final price until after the contract was signed which is my fault as well as the very pushy salesperson. The Equinox is a nice vehicle, but the front seats are horrible if you sit in them very long. All in all, I do regret the purchase overall. I also was not informed about the recalls on this vehicle at all. I found them when I did a search on it. If I could cancel the contract on this vehicle, I would not hesitate to do it.

Love this car

I love this car. It is so beautiful, inside and out. There is not one complaint, I could say about it. I went on a long trip and go 34 mpg I can’t not like this car. It has so much pep and is so comfortable inside.

Turbo boost failure

The turbo went out at 53,000 miles, not very reliable, luckily it went out in the city. I go on the road a lot, now I don't want to take the Equnox fearing it will break down. I have own chevy cars and truck most of my life knowing it will take me to where I need to go. I have reached 150,000 mile before any problems came up.

Design a car just for Women…they buy more cars!

Pickup is not great! I see a yellow light & I have to stop because hitting the gas on an AWD LT does not get me thru that light! If you like to hit the gas & get a like speed… Not this Equinox! No Top Gun get! Unless you have a few extra grand for one step up engine! My pacific blue looks real pretty on the outside…but inside I’m gonna need some changes! Interior leaves much desired for female drivers or parents. Why can’t someone design a car with an actual spot for your purse? A place for Wipes or Tissues? Seatbelt width is uncomfortable if your over 150lbs.( average) the compartment where you plug in your phone is poorly designed.. God forbid you should put something in there…everything has to be removed to get phone plugged or unplugged. Back windows aren’t designed to be opened in increments so that you some accidental open the window too much with kids in back seat! The Equinox definitely needs some tweaking & the stereo that comes with it if you done have the extra $2,000-3,000 for a better set up! Oh yeah, how about putting a hole in the head rest like the old Volvos for women who wear clips in their hair or pony tails. Come on…More Women buy these cars then men! Get Smart Detroit! You know Women would spend the extra $ for a car designed just for them! 🤷🏻‍♀️

2020 Chevy Equinox

I Purchased my 2020 vehicle from Weber Chevrolet 270/Olive. My Sales Rep was Joe Rice. He was very knowledgeble about my vehicle. He also, answered all my questions & concerns. He is an excellent asset to the Weber Chevrolet company. I highly recommend him to others who are thinking about & making a car purchase. Thanks Joe Rice

Hottest Equinox out there!!

I bought a 2020 Equinox LT2 2.0 Turbo and the thing just flat hauls xxx, I love it. The handling is great, the ride is very good for a mid size SUV, I really don't get why the previous reviews were so bad, they must have been given a monday or friday car. I have been in the auto industry for over 40yrs and this is one of the best offerings from chevy in years! We had a 2011 LT1 that couldnt get out of its own way, so I traded it in never really intending to buy anything with a turbocharger, but after I test drove this one I was sold! xxxx the dealership even gave me well above and beyond the fair market value on my 2011 even with "key scratchs" down the whole right side and 2 minor accidents reported. And they took 10000+ off sticker and free "Dupont" coating. Like I said, I LOVE this truck!!! If someone got a bad one I feel for them, but mine is GREAT!!!!!!! Its also the "Pacific Blue Metallic" which just like a "Morano" custom paint. (It changes color depending on you're point of view) its absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Please avoid this DANGEROUS VEHICLE

I didn’t know they could make cars this bad. It has a weak engine hooked up to a turbo charger and they DO NOT work together. The power is always behind you and you don’t know when it will get there. On the freeway you feel like your going to be killed. The sway bar on the vehicle is completely out of control you feel massive swaying back and forth all the time, it doesn’t matter if you actually turn on the mechanism. The red beeper to warn you on the front windshield is actually a distraction and goes off randomly. The worst part is you can see it while your driving. The volume buttons are on the back of the steering wheel so when your on the freeway you will grab them and all of a sudden the volume goes way up or down or the channel will change. The A/C is complicated and I never did fully figure it out. I sold that xxx after a few months, I got a good price for it. The dealership did not get a good car lol.
