2024 Chevrolet Equinox SUV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
A total dog
I still can't believe how crappy this vehicle is. I've owned one previous Equinox, and it was "adequate". Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I didn't think I could dislike a vehicle this much! Where to start... The seats are flat, stiff and overall uncomfortable. The interior is "meh". The dual-zone climate control is a joke. 'Had my first malfunction of the forward collision alert before I even got the thing home. The all-weather mat set is overpriced; I had better coverage from a set that cost way less. There's so much slop in the lower gears that it's positively infuriating when trying to get ANY kind of response, whether it be taking off from a full stop to trying to just speed up to pass. I'm dreading the thought of trying to drive this thing in the winter! I guess I'm just stuck with this thing unless I'm willing to take a huge loss on it. Might just be my last new car purchase, but definitely my last Equinox.

If I drove it for two days, I wouldn't bought it
The 2024 is my third Equinox. My first one, a 2010 was a real Junker. It was full of engine problems, noisy clanking. It had 2 or 3 valve repairs under warranty. I had one top engine overhaul with new pistons and valves under warranty. The second one, a 2017 was a great car. I traded it in with 130,000 miles on the 2024. The only problem I had with it was a frozen PCV valve at minus 16 degrees. it caused the crankcase pressure to build up and blew out the crank shaft seal. Cost out of pocket was about $2000. GM was well aware of that issue for three years before mine blew out.. This one is a 2024 Premier. It is full of bells and whistles, but that is where it ends. The 2024 is a smaller car that the 2017 was. I knew after a couple days that they had shrunk it, not much 3 or 4 inches in height and 3 or 4 inches in length. The width is OK, my leg room is the worse for me. It is also the noisiest new car I have ever owned, Wind noise, tire noise, mechanical noise. The sound system has to be up over 50 percent to enjoy the lyrics of a song, when going down an interstate highway. I have owned about 15 or more new GM cars and pick ups. This one is a disappointment to me..

Not A Blue Flame!
After a lot of research, I traded in a fully loaded 2019 Ford EcoSport SE for a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox LS with 17K on the odometer. It has all the available options for this base model such as reverse sensors, blind spot alert, privacy glass, and even an 8-way power driver’s seat. EPA mileage ratings state 26 (city), 31 (hwy), and 31 (combined). I’m getting 27.5 (city), 34 (hwy), and 32.5 (combined), and that’s with the AC on. I’m getting better fuel mileage with my Equinox than my previous vehicle. What do I like about my Equinox? Firstly, I like the color—Riptide Blue Metallic. In a sea of black, white, gray, and beige vehicles, I find my Equinox easily in any parking lot. I particularly like the Infotainment 3 that comes with it. It’s got plenty of room to seat five adults comfortably and there’s no problem with installing car seats for the grandkids. LED lights are a big plus (I don’t need fog lights). Lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and front pedestrian warning are standard and are also a plus. The 1.5 4-cylinder turbo has enough power to merge with highway traffic. Transmission is a 6-speed automatic that shifts smoothly. No slushy rubber band CVT here! What don’t I like about my Equinox? Not much. I would’ve liked the climate controls to be an automatic system instead of a manual system. However, AC cooling is strong and I can live with that. I live in South Central Texas. I’m very happy with my purchase, to say the least.

Review - Chevy/GM Vehicle Ordering & Manufacturing
I had to factory order a 2024 Equinox Premier as there were NONE in the State, and I'm in the center of the Pacific Ocean. I purposefully selected the Premier because it has ventilated seats, side mirror-mounted turn signals and a (advertised as standard equipment on 4 different pages of the website) HANDS-FREE power liftgate. (If you live where I do, you would know the importance of having ALL 3!!) Car was delivered to me WITHOUT the hands-free liftgate!!! After trying ALL the levels of Chevy's Customer "satisfaction" Center, Chevy says there's NOTHING it will do - "it's not a manufacturing defect". (The snarky part of me wonders if that's b'cuz it was assembled in Mexico?) Of course, the dealership can not do anything, b'cuz they do NOT make the vehicles (and this isn't an option that just be 'added-on'. So, just a EPIC FAIL on Chevy's part. (And I paid MSRP, which was $4000 LESS than the other Chevy dealers here!!
