Overview & Reviews
Part of a growing segment of plus-sized small crossover SUVs, the Chevrolet Equinox splits the difference between compact and midsize utility vehicles and offers roomy accommodations in a five-passenger layout. Like other vehicles in its class, the Equinox emphasizes style, amenities and day-to-day practicality over more traditional SUV attributes. In short, the Chevy Equinox is a fine choice for commuting to work or transporting pets, but it's not suited for towing, or anything more rugged than a gravel road.
Although the Equinox has always had a roomy interior and an easy-driving nature, the plain styling and low-quality interior materials in earlier models are none too impressive by today's standards. Later versions of this Chevrolet crossover have made big strides in quality and are available with more desirable features and engine choices.

Love The Equinox! - 2006 Chevrolet Equinox
By Rick - March 25 - 4:16 amThe Equinox is fun to drive! It has ample power to get you where you want to go. I love the electronic steering due to its ease to manuever. With a broken wrist, it has been an exceptionaly easy car to drive. The Equinox has ample room for my whole family and room for luggage on vacation trips. For comfort, I highly recommend the leather interior. It makes getting in and out of the car much easier...and its much easier to keep the interior clean.

Nice on the outside, but ... - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By njEquinox - March 22 - 6:06 pmWe have had our Equinox for about 3 months now. We bought it because it had a great look, great safety ratings, and decent "advertised" fuel economy. All of our expectations have been met except for the fuel economy, which has been very poor. For the first 3000 miles (mostly suburban driving), we have averaged 17.6 miles per gallon. We have a GM mini-van with the same engine that averages 21 mpg in the same driving conditions. The advertised EPA fuel economy for the Equinox was 19 city and 25 highway. Other than that issue, it is a beautiful vehicle that drives well. The overall quality seems to be good. The interior (the dashboard and seats), though, is a bit bland.

Incredible! Is it really a Chevy? - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By adhurdler - March 22 - 10:00 amI went and test drove a FWD LT on Saturday and took it home that evening in Salsa Red(second choice; glad I purchased over Silver; traded in Pontiac Vibe). Wasnt going to buy a new car that day, but couldnt leave without one. Dealer made an offer I couldnt refuse. Let a relative drive and they want one as well(trade in PT Cruiser). Incredible ride quality and handling for a Chevy Truck. Purchase due to need for extra space in back seat and it has plenty of room and then some. It is very quiet, has plenty of power, and it nicely equipped. Take one for a drive and you will take it home!

Good looking, but made way too cheap - 2006 Chevrolet Equinox
By Heidi - March 19 - 4:26 pmAll my family works for GM, so of course thats what we all drive. I loved the way the Equinox looked when it first came out, but after I bought it Ive had nothing but problems. Ive had to take it in 4 different times to replace the stereo, the AC broke after only having it a couple of months and the dealership said it wasnt covered under warranty, plus my headlights went out at the same time. A brand new car should not have this many problems. American cars are being made way too cheap these days and my next car will be a Toyota or Nissan, since foreign cars are the only ones reliable anymore.

Petes Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Pete Yevich - March 18 - 2:50 pmIt is a good looking small SUV. It is comfortable and easy to drive. The tracking is excellent. Power is adequate and gas mileage is fair. Many people think Im driving a Luxus. The side view is nicer than the Lexus and costs about $11 thousand less. I would recommend the Equinox to anyone.

finally got it - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
By rellikusmc - March 16 - 8:36 pmdrives nice a little stiff on bumps,rear window is small with some corner blind spots,has power and streets nicely second day I had it,it snowed handled fine, the blue interior lighting is easy on the eyes, the battery is located in the rear on drivers side so I guess that is why the gas tank is on the passenger side. it rides very quiet and most outside noises are hushed,my experiences so far are all good just some getting use to after driving a full size truck

Chevy hits a HOME RUN - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Petey B - March 16 - 10:00 amThe Equinox is very smooth at all speeds, and was a pleasure to drive on a recent trip to the shore. The sliding rear seat was a huge plus for the trip because we have a 16-month old boy; when my wife and I sat in the front we could slide him forward as far as the seat could go to have him within an easy arms reach. When she wanted to sit in the back with him, we simply moved it all the way back and she had TONS of room to stretch out. Plenty of cargo room either way. The overall design of this SUV is outstanding. Many people say it looks like a Lexus SUV, and just think that I paid TENS of THOUSANDS LESS! This is by far the best vehicle Ive ever owned.

Only one minor flaw... - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Agent99 - March 16 - 10:00 amHas fantastic mileage. I used to own a NIssan Altima and this is my first switch to an SUV. The Equinox seems to get almost the same mileage as my Nissan sedan did! Fantastic for an SUV! However, besides the blind spots in the back, it does not have a dome light for the front (for the driver and passenger). Thats the only pain Ive had so far with it. Besides that, never any problems, very roomy and like I said, we paid about 23 (incl. taxes) for a base awd model. I highly recommend it!

I love my car but... - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Sarahlynn - March 9 - 5:03 amI love this car! It is a lot of fun to drive, there is plenty of storage space, my friends love the backseat legroom, and the shelving system in the back is awesome!
