Faster than a Speeding Bullet- Equinox Redline Ed

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

The 2.0 Turbo @ 252hp is exceptional. Very responsive, handling is superb. The Redline suspension is a little on the taunt side, but is great on smooth pavement. Handling/Steering is responsive without understeer or oversteer. Easy access for any 6ft person. Spacious entry and sized rear seats. Backup camera is a must. Visibility is good all around. Cloth heated seats are a real plus. Lots of goodies for a car at this price. The one touch opening for the rear cargo area is handy. The touch screen is large and very easy to use. Never been a Chevy fan, but this car could win me over with time.

Turbo really gives this good accelearation compared to my 2013 model. Only bad thing it requires premium gas. Update 3 years. Had to have exhaust replaced at 12,000miles. Resonator baffle broke causing laundry banging. At 20000 miles exhaust is starting to fail again . Banging noise is coming back. $1200 repair, I will have to put up with it. POOR quality. 25000 miles and right front wheel bearing going bad. Extreme clunking sound on small bumps. These cars are not built for the long haul.. 3 year throwaway.

It makes me happy

I test drove a lot of cars and did a ton of research. I was actually leaning toward an RDX, but the infotainment issues and poor visibility made me a bit leery. I wasn’t expecting to be so blown away when I test drove the equinox. I’m surprised that some reviews say it feels cheap. It’s actually very luxurious feeling imho, and I like how you sit up in the driver’s seat. I can see out of it really well and feel very safe. I can read a window sticker, so gas mileage wasn’t a surprise. No, it’s not the most fuel efficient vehicle out there, but the power is pretty impressive. Use premium as recommended and your mpg’s will go up significantly. Everyone is different, and you should take your time and test drive a lot of cars before making such a large purchase. As for me, I LOVE it, and when you throw in the awesome price I got with employee pricing for all and additional discounts, I feel I got it for a steal. Makes me smile every time I look at it sitting in my garage.

Towed 3 times in 4 days

GM knew the charge air cooler outlet air tube may be disconnected on some 2019 Equinox models but continued to sell them, thus putting customers in harms way. Within 4 weeks after buying this lemon, while traveling 70 mph on the interstate, 300 hundred miles from home, the car banged, shook and went into reduced power mode. I drove slowly to a safe area, and was towed to a Chevrolet dealer, I was told cars fixed, but it happened again twice more in the next 4 days. I had to rent a car to get home, GM had my car fixed a third time and transported vehicle back to my dealership10 days later. The brand new Equinox is sitting in the garage because I don’t feel safe driving this model. GM customer service has been terrible.

Love the 2019 Equinox!

My wife and I leased a 2019 Equinox AWD with the 1.5L Turbo engine. We absolutely love this vehicle. I understand how people say it is lacking power when I compare it to something like my mom's Mercedes GLC, but honestly I have never felt the need for more power, and passing on 65 mph 2 lane county roads has been no issue. Steering is very true and tight with relatively no wind pulling issues whatsoever. On trips, we get 30 mpg with the lifetime average currently at 25.8 mpg. Every time we check the lifetime average, it seems to improve. We got this vehicle in November and idled it all winter long so the lifetime 25.8 is pretty impressive to me. I think this vehicle is going to continue to be great for our needs, and with our growing family, I foresee us buying GM products in the future. Maybe just something bigger like a Traverse or a Tahoe. For now, the Equinox is fantastic. Currently 5,282 miles.
