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.

    i been around chevy trucks and suv for a long time. They all have the same feel to them. The Equinox has a total different feel to it. Look and feel of the truck is great. It has very minor fault from what i see.

    Amazing ride and comfort! The cargo space design is ingenious. I cant wait to tailgate with its functional table.

    We saw the Equinox at the NY Auto Show and fell in love. We just couldnt believe that an American made car had such great design and styling. Then the spokeswoman gave us the price and we were floored. Great looks and afordable! We were at the dealer the next and just picked up our NOX on Monday. Its better than we anticipated and its a head turner too!

    As my kids grow I needed a new car to grow with them. After much research and many pain staking test drives I have found a vehicle with both Style and comfort. Just a great drive for the buck!

    We downsized from a Suburban to the Equinox due to escalating fuel costs. After searching a long time for a replacement vehicle, we bought our Equinox immediately upon locating one (even prior to driving it). We have no regrets.

    I have had my Equinox for a month. I have always bought Chevys, but am slightly dissapointed in this one. The ride is good, albeit a little too much wind noise on the drivers side. The front seats dont seem "full" size, and the gas mileage is not up to par (18mpg local/20 hwy, AC off!).

  • I love my Equinox - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

    I love my Equinox. The only things that I would change are options that I didnt purchase. OnStar and AWD will be on the next one along with leather seating surfaces. I do wish that it got a little better gas mileage, however my partner gets better mileage that do I. The styling, size, horsepower, and overall curb appeal are outstanding. I shopped for six months before I made my decision. I do not regret it and my next vehicle will be a 2007 Equinox LT AWD with OnStar and leather. Thank you, Chevrolet, you hit the nail right on the head.

  • Good Truck - 2005 Chevrolet Equinox
    By -

    I bought the Equinox over 1 year ago and have over 26K miles. Here are my thoughts: a) The gas mileage is a disappointment. I get about 18-20 driving about 90% highway miles. b) It drives more like a truck (feels heavy) but rides like a car. c) It is VERY roomy. d) The interior quality inferior to Honda/Toyota, but better than prior Chevy models. e) Ive been in the shop A LOT (tailgate recall, CD Changer, Front Strut Assy, rear differential, antennae holder 2x) but I also had an accident with my nox in late 2004 which might have cause other problems. I also got one of the first models.

    Ive been waiting to buy a new Chevrolet SUV to replace my 1988 Chevy Blazer, and this is perfect. My 88 is still running strong and in great condition, this vehicle will be the same. Great quality, great performance, and great price with my GMS employee discount.
