The Equinox is an all-new compact SUV from Chevrolet. It shares a platform with the Saturn Vue and offers similar levels of space and versatility for buyers seeking practical suburban transportation.

Pros:
  • Standard V6 engine, long wheelbase affords plenty of interior room, fore/aft-adjustable rear seats, available side curtain airbags.
Cons:
  • Costs as much as the more powerful Saturn Vue, limited drivetrain choices, confusing stereo controls.

  • Back to American - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    Very nice SUV. Great paint job. Wife likes as much as her BMW. Only complaint I have are the front brakes, in 36000 miles we have had to have the brakes done twice. I have never had brake problem with any other vehicle that we have owned.

  • Safe like an SUV, drives like a car! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    From the moment I saw this vehicle on the lot and test drove it, I knew it was the car for me. Little things, like an adjustible back seat and easy- to-reach controls, made the Equinox an easy choice. It feels like Im driving a car when Im on the road, yet I feel safe in the SUV.

  • Great American Made - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    We shopped all the competition. Honda, Toyota, Kia, Nissan, Hyundai and others. We were most impressed by the Chevy. Price, features and after 6 months Quality! We have never had one problem. The vehicile is comfortable and has many options the imports missed and the ride is better! The fuel economy improved after 3,000 miles and the vehicile is superb on fit an finish. We have owned everything from all US made to Japan and European Imports and this car rocks! Easy entry & exit, flat floor, performance and quality have us thinking the US car makers are passing the imports and no premium price & we dont deal attitude of the imports.

  • Disappointed in gas mileage and interior - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Gas mileage is not what is advertised. Interior is cheap and disappointing. Experior design great. Turning radius needs to be improved. LT version should have tined windows in the front. If Chevy would have addresed these issues and not have been CHEAP this would be a dream vehicle.

  • Equinox is a fun little SUV - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I have found the Equinox to be a great transition vehicle from car to truck. It rides smoothly and there is a lot of room.

  • Love My SUV - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Im a first time owner of an SUV and really enjoy the new Equinox. I find it fun to drive and comfortable. My previous car was a Cadillac and my husband still owns one. I enjoy the size and roominess of it and the fact that I dont need a step stool or other aids to get in and out of it is a plus. I can easily transport my grandchildren it it. I enjoy the acceleration that I need in entering a freeway and great braking during city driving. I recommend this vehicle for all first time SUV owners like myself.

  • Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    Its so aerodynamic, similar to the Lexus RX330 but way more affordable for the average person. The seats fit perfectly to the curve of your back. The ride is so unbelievably smooth and quiet. The inside has more room than any other mini-sized SUV.

  • Awesome Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I love the way the Equinox handles on the road. I get great gas mileage with my Equinox with 20 - 26 mpg. I like that everyone has sufficient room to be comforatable for traveling. The storage area behind the seats is great too with the table top for layers -- great idea!

  • Great buy - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    We bought an all white AT fully loaded. As soon as we saw it and drove it we knew it was perfect for us. The legroom in the back is great. Good pick-up, comfort, its quiet. Stereo with XM (which I was skeptical about) is better than we could have imagined. We get tons of compliments from friends and strangers at gas stations. Its not unusual to pull into the grocery store and have other folks come check it out.
