  Get the 2.0 with Turbo AWD Version! - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By BergSteenz - October 25 - 7:37 am

  I drove the standard 1.5L models of this vehicle and hated it. The car seemed very under powered and boring to drive. I gave the 2.0L model with AWD and Turbo and the car is a blast to drive! Its got around 260HP and is very quick to get going. The acceleration is incredible and really feels great. The transmission shifts seamlessly and and smooth. This re-design was a win by Chevrolet! Seriously, if you are interested though dont even bother with the lower end 1.5L options.

  Good SUV, but not worth $40,000+ - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Angelica15 - September 7 - 8:46 am

  I do like my SUV. The ride is good , but couldve been better for the price. Not as smooth over bumps, but ok. The interior is beautiful, but cheap materials that show smudges easily. I got the leather vinyl interior, and some parts of the interior just gives you that plastic feel. Again its nice but definitely overpriced!

  Extemely rough ride - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Larry - September 30 - 2:00 pm

  If the highway is smooth as glass, my Equinox rode as smooth as any quality automobile. However, when it came to rough surface such as cracks, shallow dips or holes, the car practically beat me to death with hard jolts. I ended up with a headache. GM is proud of the new "stiff suspension" they built into the car and it sucks. I drove the car 175 miles and could take no more. I did a buy-back. After three months and low price, the dealer cant sell the car.

  Love the car..Happy with my purchase - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Cathy A - May 28 - 11:06 am

  I bought the 2018 Equinox without test driving it from a dealership 2 hours away. Probably not the smartest move. Car was delivered around 9:00PM. Didn’t test drive that night, next day I drove it and noticed a noise. Noise would get louder the longer I drove. Took it to local Chevy dealership where they discovered a bolt/nut rubbing against another metal object. They think it has to do with the 2018 being a new frame and they are using 2017 bolts/nuts. Dealership is suppose contact GM to figure out solution. Car drives great besides the noise. Love everything about the car. Radio and speakers are great. My teenage kids love the stero too. Went on a long road trip last week and thought the seats were a little hard. My daughter starts driving in a few months and I’m excited about all the safety features it has and the teen features. Filling the gas tank is easy with no cap to turn. Technology is user friendly. Love the look of the Equinox. Using foot to open trunk is nice. Plenty of storage in back, plus added storage under the trunk liner. Very roomy. A few of my mild complaints would be: seats not that comfortable for long rides, might be user error....but the preset driver settings and the sunroof don’t appear to be one touch. I have to hold the button down the entire time. My daughter has a tough time putting the second row seat back up if it was down; as it’s heavy. Storage on driver door is small. I have a handicap parking permit and it doesn’t fit there. A little on the expensive side once I got all the bells and whistles.

  Love My 2018 Equinox - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Matt W - February 23 - 6:27 pm

  What a fantastic car! I have had mine for 2 weeks and love it!! got it on incentives and black Friday deals $26K out the door with Gap protection. I dont understand the grips with acceleration its definitely quicker than my 07 V6 Explorer granted its bigger and heavier it also has a much larger 4L engine. Android Auto is an Amazing feature that makes life on the road easy and fun. It feels big but drives small the maneuverability is fantastic. I would recommend an Equinox to anyone with a small family fits 3 car seats perfectly. Grade A+

  1800 miles or less - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Linda - February 14 - 9:23 pm

  I have a 2018 Equinox with 1800 miles on it. The celanoid box that controls the transmission is having issues. I was told that this is becoming a common problem. The vehicle with groan and will not shift. The next problem is that they do not make replacement parts for this yet! So my vehicle is sitting at the dealership until it can be fixed!!! They did give me a loaner (another Equinox).

  solid, could use a little more refinement - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Tom - September 16 - 10:09 am

  tet drove a base model with 2.0 turbo. Chassis is good, nice ride and responsive handling, steering and brakes are responsive with good feel. Transmission was smooth, and the engine powerful, though a touch trashy when pushed hard.A little more road noise than I might have expected but not too objectionable. Biggest drawback was the seats, both driver and passenger front were too tight across the lower ribs. My wife and I are both in shape athletes, so we were surprised by how the side bolsters felt. Seat bottoms were fine for us, but larger people may find them intrusive. Salesman suggested that the leather seat models are a little less restrictive, had a quick seat in them and he might be right. I immediately noticed that the steering wheel profiling is a little different, so different seats are certainly plausible

  Fun Ride - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By Sabrina - May 12 - 1:34 pm

  This is an excellent first time SUV but. The entertainment center is excellent, I wish the speakers had a little more power but I would have to have gotten the premier, I love my panoramic roof, I love my huge touch screen, heated seats work so well they even get a little of your lower lumbar. I also used to drive with back support, but I havent needed to in this car. The safety features are awesome, for a little more money I could have gotten the 360 view. But the rear camera does a great job of seeing people on either side of the car. I highly recommend it.

  Less comfortable than my 2016 Equinox - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By RGB - August 4 - 2:26 pm

  Comparing my 2018 1.5L FWD and 2016 2.4L FWD Equinoxes: 2018 is worse for front seat comfort, interior road noise, and ride motions over rough pavement. The 2018 is better for city acceleration. The 2018 may be better for city fuel economy, but I need more miles to evaluate.

  auto engine stop/start - 2018 Chevrolet Equinox
  By joe sammons - July 10 - 5:02 pm

  I traded for the equinox because it has a power lift gate. It also has dark glass in the back doors and lift gate that you cant see thru at night. It has a backup camera but its too bright. I cant see anything on the screen at night, but it,s OK in the day time. The reason for the low marks is the new feature called AUTO ENGINE STOP/START. I was not told about this feature. If i knew about this, I would not have traded for this equinox. This is the dumbest thing that I ever seen on a car. You pull up to a 4 way stop and the motor dies. When you release the break the motor restarts about a half second later. This is wrong to have something like this feature added to the car and not tell anyone about it. I know that it will cost big money for starters and batteries after the warranty runs out.
