Didn't expect to like this SUV as much as I do

This review is for a V6 AWD 2LT with leather (apparently Edmunds doesn't give us the option to rate a V6 model). After 16,000 miles, this has been an excellent vehicle. You'll likely be happy with it as long as you have the right expectations. The Equinox is not designed to be a sporty SUV. It's a solid, comfortable, roomy, un-pretentious, completely reliable SUV with excellent highway manners, good technology, and good value. Remember, the Equinox is built on the same platform with the same V-6 as the Cadillac SRX, only de-contented and de-tuned (and much cheaper). A new Equinox will be released in a year or so, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy this model again.

I didn't expect a Chevy to be this good

I bought a 2013 6 cylinder AWD 2LT Equinox with leather as a winter/extra vehicle to keep miles off my more expensive cars. I didn't expect a Chevy to be this comfortable, well designed, and almost "elegant" inside. I cross shopped a 2013 Escape SEL, which is sportier but lost points in every other category. The Chevy won with roomier interior, huge backseat room, more comfortable seats, better organized dash, intuitive controls, 301 hp V-6 for the price of a Ford 4 cyl, more refined drive train, quieter ride, classier interior. The Escape had a disjointed "chaotic" non-intuitive dash and controls, uncomfortable back seat with tight leg room, narrow front seats, awkward driving position.

Gone is Caddy from hell, & enjoying driving again

In April of last year, my Caddy, I had, went berserk again, but I had no choice at that time but to repair it. In May, a friend dicided to up date her SUV, so I dicided to purchase her "use" one. It was an 2013 Chevy Equinox, fully loaded, with 27, 000 miles, garage kept, plus her husband was an automobile mechanic, and ran the bus garage at the school where I use to work. I have had not problems, thus far. Did have to replace the tires on the car (had the original tires on the car). I have put in 15,000 miles on it since I got it in June 2019. Will take it in for its first oil change soon. Only problems thus far is the rear tire sensors are showing false readings and the computer lady has a hard time understanding me when I try to make phone calls. So far so good.

Excellent value for the money. All the features of a more expensive SUV. Low maintenance cost. Quality holds up over the years.
