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

The Cats Choice! - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By The Cats Choice!! - January 9 - 12:50 pmSearched Through all the SUV crossover choices. It came down between The Toyota RAV4, Pontiac Torrent, the Honda CR-V and Chevrolet Equinox won! Why? Best warranty, best ride, more power and all that with the best price!

On the money - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By DAN - January 4 - 4:07 pmThis was the last of the new cars I looked at in the price range I could afford and still be sporty looking. Very impressed with power. Reminded me of the surge in power of the muscle cars from the 60s. I got the awd sport w/6spd trans. Im reliving my youth.

08 FWD Equinox LXT - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By sbarno - January 4 - 12:26 pmOnly 1000 miles so far, Satisfied to date. After I bought it, I see more Nox on the road than Ive saw before. A little thorn is with a vehicle of this size you would think that it would have better mpg as I do 60% hwy. Disappointed with the decrease in the driving range when the car idles. I hope this improves as it gets broken in. Maybe Ill have to shut the engine off at stop lights, kind of what they do in Europe.

08 Equinox LS 4dr - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By haley1000 - December 24 - 7:20 pmThis is my first SUV. Coming from a Mustang GT boss to this is a like a different world It is very easy to drive and doesnt even feel like your driving a small SUV. Overall it is a decent ride for the price.

Equinox Sport - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By Equi-Sport - December 19 - 1:27 pmBought the Equinox Sport just over a week ago and like it more and more. We traded an older Acura MDX for something that still had AWD, good power, and better fuel economy. All in all so far, the suspension on the AWD Sport is stiff, yet easily steerable, the motor has plenty of power for the average "Race-ready" father, and lots of interior room. I think the inside could be more refined, but we are used to forein cars. The console and sun visors seems chincy, nice leather, ample leg room, like the gauges,and decent mpg if driven normally. We do 60 miles a day on the highway, and the mpg is averaging 22 right now. This is not a Lexus or Acura, but Chevy has done well and added options.

2008 Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
By Mike Castellanos - February 15 - 6:03 pmWe just bought our Equinox a day before going on vacation. We put over 3000 miles in 12 days. Drove from Houston Tx to Michigan then to Niagra Falls and then down thru Penn, Tenn, Vir, W. Vir, Miss, Al, LA and back to Texas. MPG was great! Averaged at 26mpg. Ride was not a Cadillac but comfortable. All in all this is a great SUV.

By DAVID - July 9 - 8:56 amBought our new sport last week. This vehicle is a runner! And looks good doing it. Sounds good, too. Handling is great. Interior could be a little more plush, but is adequate. Fuel mileage is just average. Overall a great car. Im glad we bought it.
