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

  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.

  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.

  Great SUV - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  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.

  Searched 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!

  08 FWD Equinox LXT - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By sbarno - January 4 - 12:26 pm

  Only 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.

  This 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.

  2008 Equinox - 2008 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Mike Castellanos - February 15 - 6:03 pm

  We 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.

  I test drove the 2007 Equinox and was not very impressed with the preformance - but then I was shown the 2008 Sport version, OMG the new version of this SUV is amazing, the Power and look of the car is all new. Very impressed with the 0-100kph 6.4 seconds.

  Bought 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.
