The 1.5 gas is kind of rough shifting, not very peppy. The 2.0 gas is very nice, smooth and has good pickup, but I want better MsPG. The Diesel is slow from 0, but pretty lively after it's up into 30-40 MPH and very good for freeway maneuvers. I am concerned about long term reliability, and not in a hurry, so I'll wait and see a bit. No strong opinion on tech yet. Didn't drive at night.

Make sure you have a long test-drive, maybe a 24hr one. We were given a two day test-drive and we still ended up buying it, after almost 3k miles we wish we hadn't. The Diesel gets great MPG but it is incredibly loud, I am familiar with diesel vehicles, and this thing was louder than my 83 300D Mercedes. The driver seats have a ridiculous amount of bolster support, which seemed nice at first but tends to hurt my back during longer drives. The diesel motor is quick once it gets going, it does have a lag with the turbo. That being said, once you are going the suspension falls short and the SUV just tends to slosh all around. You might think that would make the ride that of a luxury car, but it definitely doesn't have that. The ride isn't bad, but for the lack of command in turns it should ride like a Lincoln. The infotainment system is pretty good and easy to use, I like the center speedo screen and how it works with the infotainment screen. All in all, it does have a few nice touches, but it mostly feels cheap. Dirt also shows on everything since all of the interior is flat black. I do appreciate Chevy bringing the diesel motor to more of their line-up, this one was just a miss. Maybe it will be better with the next model year.

I bought the Diesel version, and with the idiots now at the top of the country raising gas prices through their actions, I'm glad I did. Car is comfortable, and the turbo diesel gives me not only pep at starts, but great gas mileage. Around town I get around 32, on the freeway I've gotten 52 mile per gallon on one stretch of highway driving, normally around 48. Filling DEF fluid is easy. Love the car. Unfortunately the diesel will no longer be offered in 2020 versions. With the political climate, that may change.

To bad GM decided to abandon this engine, it has very good acceleration for a 1.6l And averaging 38 mpg. Believe it would be 40+ on interstate.
