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 my new car! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Heather Tangard - January 11 - 11:20 pmThis car is really great for the price. After driving it you would never think we only paid $20,000 for it. It drives very smoothly. It has a lot of room. Also, its very quiet inside, you cant hear all the road noise outside.

Awesome Ride - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Greg Martin - January 7 - 7:20 pmThe purchase of my Chevrolet Equinox was the best decision my wife and I made. I spent endless hours researching different SUVs in my price range. Finally, I came to this particular one, and I am very happy to make this purchase. I would recommend the Chevy Equinox to anyone who cant afford the higher priced imports. This SUV is well worth its price.

WORST VEHICLE EVER - 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
By Pam - December 30 - 11:24 amI bought the car used from Carmax with 35,000 miles on it. Unfortunately I did not do much research, I loved the look of the car and went for it. The first 8 months were good. Then a self destruct button turned on and ever since January of 2016 Ive been in and out of the repair shop. Its never anything minor and all known issues to Chevrolet. However, they dont care about their customers so what the hell. The first incident I was driving in the middle of a snowstorm to pick up a friend from the airport. Out of no where the vehicle refuses to accelerate and some message comes us with stability trac, reduce engine power...turns out the throttle body needed to be replaced. Ok, theres $200 + tax deductible I should be good to go. Nope. The following month Im driving, no warning lights, no nothing and Im backing out of a driveway (I drive for UBER) and my car will not get into gear. Eventually I get out of the driveway and my car goes into limp mode...come to find out the TRANSMISSION went out at 42,000 miles!!!! Another $200 + tax deductible. The following month I get a regular oil change and 2 weeks later new tires and the mechanic tells me I have no oil in my car and suggested I get an oil change. Ummm excuse me, I just got one 2 weeks ago. Fortunately there was a "service bulletin" for this and Chevy replace the Pistons and Timing Chain. I dont understand why a recall was not done as this is a serious issue. Anywho, 2 weeks later I notice a huge oil spot in my parking spot....well one of the gaskets that was replaced was defective and had to go and have that replaced. The Chevy dealer tried charging me my deductible to get that replaced, but after pulling up paper work that this was covered under the repair done just two weeks ago, I should not have to pay. One would think my troubles would be over. Nope. Check engine light comes on for the Camshaft Position Actuator. Then I get a letter for yet another service bullet for the catalytic converter. However, Chevy will not fix it until it causes a problem. Just yesterday (Oct. 4, 2016) I had the Fuel Pump replaced as part of a recall. A recall Chevy did not make me aware of. I got that email from CARFAX. The amount of time I have to take off of work for this car to get replaced is absurd. I can only imagine what problem will arise next month. Do yourself a favor and avoid this car at all costs....You will pay more in the end.

Run from this SUV it is JUNK - 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
By Stang 149 - December 28 - 10:00 amMy headliner has fallen down 3 times Plastic rocker molding fell off Engine knocking, car blowing blue/gray smoke, only getting 15-17MPG with regular fuel The car has been in the shop now for 2 weeks, with no real answers to the issues of poor MPG and the engine knocking. I was told it is "normal" for a new car to have blue/gray smoke coming from it until it is broke in. I have a meeting with GMs regional manager next week. RUN FROM THIS CAR! GM has not changed for the car company of the 1980s, they are still making junk (I will give them it looks better, dives better, and may use better materials) but the reliability and quality is still the same.

wonder what is wrong - 2017 Chevrolet Equinox
By Emily Forside - December 27 - 10:25 pmPurchased Equinox on June 20th 2017. Sept 11th 2017 went to start the car and it was dead. Called roadside asst. sent tow which jumped the battery and the car started ran car over 1/2 hour and drove it for 1/2 hour, brought it back turned it off 45 minutes later tried to start car dead. Next day towed to dealer today 9/13/17 still have no response from dealer what is wrong (battery, alternator, starter or parasite drain). Dont feel very confident in this car. Less than 3 months since purchase and only 730 miles and I have NO CAR.

Mostly Happy, just food for thought! - 2010 Chevrolet Equinox
By Ted Brinson - December 22 - 3:03 amAfter paying almost $30,000 Ive found several things GM failed to address. Eat belts are hard to fasten in the front seat because of the center console so close. There is not a home link available for this vehicle (garage door opener). Nice power seat for the driver, but not available for the passenger. There are a lot of blind spots, rear camera is useful, but hard takes a lot of getting use to. Seat headrest are in the way of vision to the side for a short person. (wife) After 2,271 miles I found the car rides good, good gas mileage, little road noise Mechanically, the vehicle is great. It seems solid and quite.

Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By stephjada - December 13 - 7:30 pmJust purchased it about a month ago, and I love it! Great pick up! Smooth driving, no bouncing around like a truck. Though I have to agree the stereo is confusing.

2005 Chevrolet Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
By Happold - December 13 - 10:00 amDoors open wide and are easy to get in and out of. Great for the "Gray Panthers" or someone with minor disabilities. Rides like a car. Traction is great.
