2019 Chevrolet Equinox L 4dr SUV (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I’ve had my 2019 Equinox for about 1 year, 18k miles later and a good mix of city driving and several long distance road trips- the car has been flawless. It’s fun to drive, excellent handling, gets good gas mileage, very dependable and reliable. As an older adult I appreciate all the great safety features and great visibility while driving- no blind spots. This is Probably the best … American vehicle I have ever owned. Great job Chevrolet!!!

This is a very nice SUV , I will stay with this kind of SUV because everything is just perfect, except that it rides very rough, you can feel every bump in the road and it sounds like a race car. reminds me of the old model A I used to own

Which Equinox does Edmunds recommend?
Considering the L is special order only, and the LS doesn't add much for a substantial price bump, we think it's worth skipping straight to the LT model. Its list of added features isn't extensive, but you do get upgraded headlights for better nighttime visibility, along with satellite radio and tinted glass. The LT also opens the doors to several worthy option packages. The Confidence and Convenience package stands out, with additional luxury features and blind-spot monitoring.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Chevrolet Equinox SUV
Driving
8.0The upgrade from the base 1.5-liter engine to the 2.0-liter is well-justified with the amount of power and efficiency it delivers. On top of that, the Equinox has impressive handling on a twisty road. The only downside is the big turning radius that affects U-turns and parking.
Comfort
7.0Aside from the poorly placed air vents on the dash and the rather stifling leather upholstery, the Equinox gets high marks for comfort. Driving for many hours on end will not cause any undue fatigue. All things considered, it's comparable to other SUVs in the class.
Interior
7.0The Equinox interior is attractive and mostly well-configured. But we would prefer the steering wheel to telescope further and wish the panoramic sunroof wasn't as intrusive for rear passengers.
Utility
7.5While the Equinox doesn't have an abundance of cargo space compared to rivals, it should handle the bulk of everyday hauling. Some thoughtful features help compensate for the lack of on-paper capacity.
Technology
8.0Chevrolet gets high marks for tech, curing many of the ills that plagued past models. It has plenty of features that are standard throughout the lineup, and the inclusion of six USB ports ensures all devices will be charged.
