Overview & Reviews

The Chevrolet Equinox gains two new trim levels to spice things up in 2008: a fully loaded LTZ and the racier Sport with 264 horsepower and a sport-tuned suspension. More basic LS and LT variants receive recalibrated suspension tuning, and all Equinox models get standard OnStar and stability control -- the latter now with integrated electronic trailer sway control.

• Roomy and versatile cabin, wide-ranging model lineup, excellent crash test scores

• Subpar interior materials, slow steering response on non-Sport models

  Happy with My Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Sandy Miller - March 31 - 11:07 am

  I have only had the vehicle one week and so far I am very happy with it. I am impressed with all the features it has for the amount of money it cost. I especially like the automatic start. I am a single woman, and this is a good feature for me. I also like the OnStar feature and hands free telephone. I drive to work every day, a 52 mile round-trip day, so far I am getting approx 21 MPG. I hope to get better as the car breaks in, of course this is a lot better, than what I was getting with my Chevy Avalanche. My friends are very impressed with the looks of the vehicle, inside and out. So far I think I made a good decision to buy an Equinox.

  2008 Equinox 6 cyl 3.4 LS - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Jeffrey McMinn - March 24 - 9:16 pm

  Runs great in that have had no problems so far, but only have 3000 miles. Has great pick-up when needed, corners well. Style is impressive and everything inside "makes sense". The ride is not as smooth as Id like to have it, but were not talking a Caddy here. Drive conservative and get 25 MPG, but do little city driving. Realistically, Id probably get 21 if I drove like I used to do when gas wasnt gold plated, but if we can put a man on the moon, surely we could design one that gets 30 mpg.

  I am not happy with the location of the lever to adjust the stirring wheel. It is not safe when you are on a long trip and you need to change settings. I have to pull over to do it as it is hard to do it (over correct and turn into some one). And I am not a tall so I need to change it on trips) and also the adjustment on moving the seat, up and down. It stinks. The emergency brake is in a location the is really unhandy. I wish I would have check this car out more. Should get more for what you pay for thise cars. Did not want to pay real big money out and this is what you get. Poor quality. I hope to trade in couple years. I always was with GMC. I needed a car at the time & think I was pushed.

  Love this SUV! - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Great SUV - March 20 - 9:57 pm

  I went into the dealership just to look at the Equinox. (I did research online first) I test drove the car and after talking with the sales man I bought it. I gotta say I have only had it a month and I love it. Its high off the ground but not too high. The engine is so quiet. I would definitley recomomend it. In fact my mom might be getting one too.

  I recently bought this car while on leave from Iraq and I must say, I love this vehicle! I couldnt stop driving it. It is fun to drive and has a lot of room inside. My two daughters love it also. My wife, she is very pleased with this car. All the extra features it has is great. This car is well built. I have a family of four and it sometimes got very tight in our last vehicle, but with the amount of space inside this one, it is great. The remote ignition starter is great too! I am now back in Iraq finsihing up my tour and all I can think about is my family and this great car we bought! Thank you Chevy!

  Big Guy Comfort - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By edward - February 16 - 6:24 pm

  Im 6-3 270lbs and getting in and out of this vehicle is easy. V6 gets 20+ on average and 23+ highway. Plenty power and great in snow, I have fwd. also you can get 4 large adults in with no problem, lots of leg room. For the money this is a great vehicle. Also Chevy warranties are great. I’ve always been a Ford man and so far I have no regrets in switching, I think Ford has been lagging the last few years.

  My Ezmerelda - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By BIG R - February 9 - 1:15 pm

  Only way to feel trans shifting is to watch tachometer. Has more get up and go than I figured when I bought the vehicle. The cars paint and finish are great. Used to own Fords, but this baby is hot. Put on fender flaps, a must to keep side panels dry.

  By Jessica - January 20 - 8:11 pm

  My husband and I decided to get something a little bigger than the 2 door Cobalt that I had, since we travel a good bit. We decided on the Equinox and absoulty love it. We did not need anything extremely big since it is just the two of us, but the room it has is great. This is my first SUV and I will never be able to drive a car again, it drives like a car but is so much higher off the ground. So easy to get in and out.

  So far, I love my Equinox! Its sporty and fun to drive. I can take the grandkids and all their stuff to their sporting events and yet I am comfortable driving it to a high profile meeting.
