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.

  • My 2005 Equinox Performs well - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    My needs require the regular transport of 3 or 4 adults to jobs and other events. The Equinox provides great leg room, easy access and a comfortable ride for these adults and for children. The smooth shifting five speed transmission coupled with a reasonably high torque engine provide good acceleration. I have driven it in numerous snow storms and it handles and maintaints traction very well. I have been very pleased with the Equinox.

    Its a great little SUV. Drives good, handles good, very strong motor, good mileage.

  • First SUV - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    For a first SUV, this is not too small, not too big. New 2005 came with 1 year of free Onstar & 3 months of free XM radio. Interior is leather, very well designed and spacious. It offers lots of places to put things, but is missing a place to lock/secure any items. Not ideal for women who usually leave purses or valuables locked in a trunk.

    I just bought my Equinox the other day...and I LOVE IT. All I can say is you need to hurry out and get one...dealers are already hiking up the tag because of the demand. NOX ROX!

  • EXCELLENT VEHICLE - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I had a difficult time getting the vehicle because I wanted an AWD LT with the Laser Blue and XM radio. I finally bought one at my local Chevy dealership with everything I wanted except the XM radio. Im hoping that I can get a factory XM installed in the future.

  • The best choice I could have made! - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    It took me about four years to find a car or truck I really wanted and Im glad I waited. This truck is perfect, very easy to drive and also a lot of fun. Definitely a head turner. The stereo system is fabulous, storage space is adequate. Love all of the outlets: I can play my iPod and charge my phone at the same time. Legroom in front and rear is phenomemal. Fuel economy is pretty decent too. I also like the fact that, while it does sits higher than a car, you dont have to take a running leap to get in, like the Tahoe. Very affordable for all of the value you get from this vehicle. Dont sleep on this one! What a winner!

  • Cargo Area - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    The only fault I have found in this vehicle is the fact that the rear seats do not fold absolutely flat. This presents a problem when carrying my dog in her crate along with luggage. Also, I wish thaat the rear seat head restraints were removable as they do present a somewhat obstructed view and I seldom have rear seat passengers. The ride is comfortable and the steering very responsive on the highway.

    This Suv is a really good ride. Its not to small and not to big. I wanted a SUV that I could easily manipulate like I did with my previous car.

    Have an extremely bad back. This vehicle fits me quite well without any added cushions, etc. Am very pleased with whole automobile, looks, driving comfort, performance, etc. My husband and I both enjoy the auto. Has been a pleasing experience to have other adults travel with us as the back seat rides great and the room provided in all seats is wonderful. We are basically a family of long legged person. Thanks for a great automobile!

  • Excellent - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I thought long about what kind of car I wanted after having an accident and had to purchase a new one. At first I wanted to look at the Equinox mainly because of the style, but after driving it, I was hooked. Handles great, 5 star crash test ratings, roomy, nice interior, lots of standard features, & not too thirsty at the pump. Im more than happy with my choice. I think its a great car
