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

  I go a lot! - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By chevy owner - July 6 - 10:45 am

  The Chevy Equinox has been a great car for me. I am a detached insurance agent and this car has givin me plenty of room and comfort. It has a pretty great stereo system for those time that I have been in traffic jams and not had much to do. It gives me plenty of room in the cargo area for both my filing boxes and my luggage, and for the size of the car the fuel economy isnt bad at all. All around it has been a great car for the business man and his family.

  Big Rs car - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By EZMERALDA - June 27 - 2:23 pm

  Very pleased weith vehicle, alert and steady. Since using MOBIL 1, mileage is respectable at around 19 +, with a few extra PSI in the 18" tires too. The paint and overall appeareance of the car is snazzy. Could use a few grab handles and more storage pockets.

  My new Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By dmack - June 21 - 6:23 am

  I purchased a base Equinox in 2005 and thought it was great, but needed a bit more power. I just upgraded to the sport model which has 90 more hp and other upgrades as well. I would recommend this car to anyone in the market for a small - medium sized SUV.

  Love my Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By mikey - June 18 - 12:29 am

  For the money it is the best midsize crossover vehicle period. Easy entry exit. I have a bad lower back. Great view when driving. Very comfortable. A lot of room. Great engine, transmission, brakes. Prefer old style steering. Electric steering is kind of numb, vague. Not good road feel like traditional steering. Would like to see 6 speed automatic and engine with more horsepower and torque. I get a lot of compliments. Mine is ruby red.

  Much better than Dodge - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By boxergirl - June 11 - 11:58 am

  The ride in the Equinox is very smooth - the suspension is great and it drives like a car. I was also surprised coming from a much larger engine that the smaller V6 still has a lot of get up and go. In addition, Im getting 25mpg highway and 21-22 city. To me this is the best feature especially since the gas tank holds 20 gallons - which I think it kinda big for this size SUV. Anyway, its nice to be able to go over 400 miles on one tank. I just started a carpool at work, and the Equinox easily fits 4-5 adults - especially with the rear seat set back.

  I love my Equinox! - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox

  I needed more room and traded in my Chevy Malibu 2004. I love the versitility and space. It drives great and handles even better in bad weather with traction control.

  Unhappy console - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By unhappy - June 6 - 8:15 pm

  Overall I like the 2008 Chevy Equinox however I am very unhappy with the center console. The emergency brake is in the wrong spot and the 12VDC outlet is right under the pullout cupholders. Liquid and power do not mix well. I am really unhappy after reading earlier articles about the 2006 Chevy Equinox with the same complaints. Will American car companies ever get their act together?

  2008 Much Improved - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Christine Cavadini - May 31 - 1:02 pm

  This is my second Equinox. I previously leased a 2006 AWD LT. I recently bought the 2008 because of great dealer incentives. This one has much better handling, fewer blind spots, and a excellent, comfortable ride. I like the standard OnStar, which I used to have in my leased Trailblazers (3 of them). The gas mileage is excellent (25-26mpg hwy) even though Im still in the process of breaking it in. I get a lot of compliments on it and it looks very sharp in black. I also got the remote start and it is awesome (cheap add-on, too). I looked a lot of vehicles and am so glad I bought this one.

  I love my 08 NOX sport - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By LovmyNox - May 28 - 9:24 pm

  This is my first GM or NA product in 15 years and I love it. Not perfect but a pretty good SUV.

  Good buy - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By conran06 - May 21 - 4:44 pm

  I guess i got screwed because mine didnt come with free OnStar for a year, or 3 mo. of XM radio. I did buy it used though with 15,000mi. I do like the smooth drive and I think the seat cusions are very comfortable. I do not like the interior. Looks very cheap on the doors and center console. Im not a big fan of the cushion pattern. I came from an 03 Eclipse Spider, convertable with leather. I wish I had a sunroof at least.
