    I have owned 3 Chevy equinox and I like the way it looks

    I have owned 3 Chevy equinox and I like the way it looks and handles. It is a great family vehicle and very comfortable and safe. All 3 of my Equinox were the Premier class well worth the extra money and more features.

    Bought a used 2022 Equinox in March 2024 for my teenage

    Bought a used 2022 Equinox in March 2024 for my teenage daughter. Only has 22k miles. Got it for a very fair price. I drive it occasionally and really like how solid the car feels overall. It is not going to win any races with the 1.5L engine but it is perfect for a new driver. UNFORTUNATELY, that is where the good stuff ends. This vehicle just left my daughter stranded two hours from home on the side of an interstate highway. Got towed to the local Chevy dealership. They are telling me the ECM(Engine Control Module) is bad. 3-4 days to get the part so I will probably be without the vehicle for a week. In my life, I have been left stranded by two Fords and a Dodge now this Chevy. American car makers are making it very tough to want to buy their products. Have an Honda Odyssey with 190k miles and new Kia Carnival...no issues so far.

    Great Experience

    I want people to know what a great buying experience I had at this dealership. I contacted 4 dealerships about 4 different cars, and Yassin F. was the only one that contacted me by phone, instead of a "canned" email. Yassin was so helpful and ran all over this large dealership (in the rain) to make sure things were just right. I would use Yassin again 100%. I hope he sells, sells, sells until all realize he is a role model. Shout out to Adam who answered my million questions!

    Excellent choice

    At first we were looking at the Trailblazer. Then we saw the Equinox on the lot, and we took it for a test drive. Once we were inside my wife said this is it. The vehicle was very comfortable, roomy and had very good performance. We've had this vehicle for over a year, we have drove it to Los Angeles twice from San Francisco and the gas mileage is phenomenal. I can go from San Francisco to LA on one tank of gas. In San Francisco, the hill assist is very useful. I am pleased with my vehicle and expect to use it for the next 10 years.

    Loving my Chevy

    Purchased brand new 10/22/22 Malcom Cunningham Augusta Ga. Shot out Travis. On my 2 car’s Equinox & Malibu 22. I love my Equinox LT blue metallic color. Great on gas. Love the app & key fob for remote start. I have everything but. Heated steering wheel, leather seats & I’m ok with that. I get a lot of compliments about how nice the cars are. I gave the Malibu to my 36 yr old son and he loves it. No problem with it. My equinox when it’s really cold in Ga. It will malfunction with some features. Long story short. I looked at recalls and it’s quite a few. But nothing about features messing up.

    Love our Equinox Premier

    Only had the Equinox for about a month but my favorites so far are the adaptive cruise and heated steering wheel. Also like the all around cameras for backing up, and heated lumbar passenger seat. Great vehicle!! Kevin at Red Wing Chevrolet was great in helping us purchase this vehicle.

    Worth a Look

    I was all set to buy an Escape when a friend recommended looking at the Equinox. I'm glad I did! I got the Reserve model and for less money than I would have spent on the Escape, I got everything I wanted plus a comfortable, good looking, AWD vehicle. I haven't had a Chevy since the mid 1980s and if you are in this same boat, they are worth a look. The heated seats and steering wheel are great, climate controls are NOT contained in the screen, and it does NOT have Adaptive Cruise Control (I can't be the only one who doesn't like that!). I have only driven it around town and am averaging about 25mpg, which isn't bad. The only option I got was the Red Line package, which adds a bit of "cool" to the car. I have only had the car a month, but based on the other reviews, I look forward to enjoying it for many years.

    Better than my Lincoln MKZ!!

    I love my car!! Are used to have a Lincoln and thought that nothing would compare, but I was wrong! My 2022 equinox seems to have more room in the back and it’s definitely more comfortable in the front! I can’t imagine me ever buying a different car! Equinox will definitely be my go to from now on!

    Poor fit and finish

    One problem is the fit and finish, quality is lacking on this part of the build. The SUV looks nice from ten feet away not any closer.
