The equinox is very nice for the price.

The equinox is very nice for the price. My biggest complaint is has a horrible suspension. I even lowered air pressure in the tires below the recommended pressure and the ride was no better. You feel every little bump in the pavement.

I didn’t think I would ever trade in my Honda Ridgeline

I didn’t think I would ever trade in my Honda Ridgeline Trailsport, but when it went down, my rental was a 2025 Equinox. I was very impressed with it and prompted me to stop into a local GMC/Chevy dealership and found a beautiful 2023 Chevy Equinox RS just traded in after a 3 year lease on it was up, so the upkeep and general maintenance was important to me, and well kept by an older gentleman who traded it in and bought another New one! Call it faith that it was the same color as my Honda truck in Iron steel grey with the black edition badges and rims too, same as my Ridgeline Trailsport! Took it for a test drive, the rest is history! I was so impressed with the driving, comfortable interior cabin, infotainment screen package, as smooth of a ride as it was, and all easily accessible buttons at your fingertips. The powerlift gate is a nice touch too, amazing! The only possible setback is going from a V6 to a 4 cylinder, so the power lacks a little as expected but is nice at the gas pump! Overall I’m pleased and would recommend this SUV to anybody or family! Test drive and you’ll be impressed as well! And it’s a Chevy! Nice job GM !

This vehicle is good to have it. The only thing I don't like it, is sucking too much Gas other than that I didn't have any issues so far

Owner of a 2020 Model for 3 yrs.

Owner of a 2020 Model for 3 yrs. We only bought it because of the color. Crimson Cayan Metallic. Black Interior. Ours is an LT FWD model. It has a few options which I'm going to say were nice but coming from a Cadillac as a daily driver, it still lacking certain touches my 08 DTS had. Heated Steering is almost a absolute requirement these days. Northern Midwest winters while fairly mild can pack a bit of punch sometimes. But this car had heated seats so i forgave it's fault this time and just bought driving gloves. Its reliability is unfaltering. I'm only at 52K and just now starting to look for tires and brakes for it. I feel like i have driven the wheels off this thing for $30 a week and regular oil changes. Android Auto has been a has been a gift. what system integration. We are on the hunt for a newer model now with more toys in it. But we have decided to keep the Equinox as a backup car. She wont let me Let her go.

In my opinion the vehicle is way under powered.

In my opinion the vehicle is way under powered. Passing power on the highway is not good. That alone would keep me from buying another. As far as reliability I've had the fuel flow control model replaced and the turbo. I would think with only 10,400 miles that should not have happen. Both were replaced under warranty but would have been quite an expense without warranty.

This is our first GM purchase since our 1978 Sedan de

This is our first GM purchase since our 1978 Sedan de Ville. Our 2023 Equinox RS has had to be towed for repair 4 times in under 13,000 miles. The first was an Auto Braking failure that resulted in a hub fire. It took 6 weeks for repair and per GM , it was not covered under warranty because it is considered a brake issue and brakes are considered a wear part. The next two were the result of the engine auto off system stopping the engine while in traffic at a red light and then not restarting - fuel sensor failures covered by warranty. The last was not re-starting after stopping at the grocery - Theft Deterrent system maybe the cause as that warning lit up on the dash. After 3 days at the dealership this problem could not be duplicated so not fixed. Body panels are extremely thin and easily dinged or damaged with regular use; like parking in public. Clear coat is soft and easily scratched, even by plastic. While this is a nice comfortable ride with good gas mileage but build quality leaves a lot to be desired.

I have done several long trips, 2 cross-country trips and in town commuting. It is a smooth comfortable ride, easy layout for gauges and controls, roomy, holds tons of cargo, and has great fuel economy (I have gotten up to 38 mpg on the highway going 70mph). All of these were listed in the "bad"- and this has not been my experience. Furthermore, my dad was side-swiped hit and run on the 210 freeway at 80 mph in his equinox and it took it like a champ. It is an easy smooth ride, I feel safe. I strongly recommend this vehicle- really the best bang for the buck- you get way more than you pay for.

Big value for the money

Great value with lots of standard features. Even though others in this class state low price online, I was unable to find those prices in our market. The equinox was about 4k less for the same features as Honda or Toyota or Kia or Ford.
