For features and ride, well worth the price

2019 Chevrolet Equinox Premier 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

In 2017 I leased an Equinox Premier. The car was fine, but the 2.0 liter engine was a bit sluggish. So when the lease ended, I opted for the 2019 Equinox Premier, with the 2.0 liter turbo,engine. There are no more pickup problems. The car accelerates well, better than most comparable vehicles. The ride is smooth and quiet. Gas mileage is a touch better than the 2017. Best of all, the car is fun to drive. In front wheel drive mode it corners and maneuvers well, and with the push of a button, you have the increased traction and control of all wheel drive. The convenience and driver safety features are first-rate, the nine speaker Bose sound system is phenomenal, and I get a particular kick out of the wireless smartphone charging pad. It's true that the Premier model is a little pricy, but the features are well worth the price. It's all but certain that I will buy the car when the lease ends.

The Equinox is a family favorite. My son and daughter both have 2018’s, my sister has a 2017 and I just traded in my 2012 for a 2019. It is very stylish, user friendly and extremely comfortable. Lots of leg room front and back. My 2012 was a workhorse and I NEVER had a bit of trouble or any glitches. Great value. I am an Equinox lifer!

I purchased the 170-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder which has to my surprise plenty of power for my needs. Extremely happy about this upgrade. I traded in my purchased GMC 2016 Terrain which was not turbo and didn't have this added power. I also find visibility and front-seat comfort to be a plus considering my size . I'm 6 ft 2. Plenty of interior room. I dont feel cramped. Gas mileage was another pleasant surprise big improvement over my last SUV where much of my driving is done locally. Handles very smooth on the road. Quiet interior ride. So far the short period time I have owned this I have been impressed. The one thing as a negative would be my Terrain had a much more elegant higher end looking interior. (they are cousins) . However I knew this going into the purchase. Was going to have to give up something to stay in a price range and size. I also got a smoother quieter ride with a stronger engine as well. Longer I own it, the more I drive it, the more I am impressed!

My wife loved this car the moment she drove it. The Turbo 2.0 is peppy!!! She is 5'2" and the multi-adjustable seat fits her short legs perfectly. I found it very peppy too- a pleasure to drive compared to the 1.5 liter engine. I'm 5'9 and the seat fit me well. I loved the safety package with cross path detection a blind spot monitoring and 8 inch color HD backup camera. Separate climate settings are great as my wife is always hot. I love the extra large sun-roof too that brings in the sun all the way to the back. The tech works flawlessly and connects with our iPhones. We bought the 2019 over the 2018 because of the extra NHSB star on side impact crashes. We are driving our infant grand daughter around and this 2019 vehicle gets 5 stars on all crash tests unlike the 2018. We have had our beautiful red Equinox a year now and are very happy with our purchase.

A Pleasure to Drive - Part 3

This is the third update of my 2019 Equinox. After approximately 37,500 miles, the Equinox drives beautifully. It has been worry free. The have been only two warranty issues that were immediately resolved - a pressure sensor on one of the tires malfunctioned at less than 1,000 miles and the actuator on the transmission failed at 32,000 miles. This has been one of the best cars I owned. This is an update. After eleven months and over 10,000 miles of worry free driving, I am even more impressed with my 2019 Equinox. It's a pleasure to drive. After three years and 31,000 miles my 2019 Equinox Premier continues to perform wonderfully. I have not had any warranty issues. The overall mileage is ranges from 24 mpg urban driving to over 32 mpg rural driving. So far, my 2019 Equinox is one of best vehicles I've purchased in the last fifty years. Our 2019 Equinox is a pleasure to drive. The 1.4 L engine has plenty of pep to handle any driving situation. After 5,400 miles of rural and urban driving, the overall mileage is 29.5 mpg. The urban mileage averages 25 mpg with rural driving easily exceeding 32 mpg. We especially appreciate the Confidence and Convenience II Package with the latest comfort and safety features. Surround vision, adaptive cruise, 8-way power seats, etc., make driving stress free. So far, our Equinox has been trouble-free. The only negative is the wide turning radius—sometimes parking can be a challenge. After fifty years of purchasing new vehicles, our 2019 Equinox Premier is the best!
