Better than I thought😀

I have the awd activ and was so surprised at the pick up & go entering the freeway. Good handling, a little noisy on the road but hardly noticeable with the radio on. The infotainment system is good but could use better organization in finding stuff. Love the fact I can put maps in front of me, instead of looking to the center screen. Great screen options and colorful as well. Love all the safety features as standard being a retired cop. The inside seats surround your body with support & comfort, and look great. The seat coloring, beige/yellow with black piping is cool & distinctive. Sure beats my 2024 Volvo.

Sluggish, poor audio ,poor assembly

Vehicle is sluggish all around. Breaks sometimes grab extremely hard if barely grazed. The audio is horrendous. The assembly is poor I've had to go around and tighten various panels due to screws not being tight. Taking it in today for electrical issues ranging from lift gate opening when no ones around to navigation not working and vehicle not communicating with app at all. When it rains the moisture build up inside the car is beyond acceptable. Lots of road noise other than from tires. Turned off the auto door lock option and vehicle still locks you out. Pros.. in the active model the interior is nice and the tires look nice on the vehicle. It is a comfortable ride. Thats about it. The settings are a cluster [non-permissible content removed] trying to find stuff. And the lain assist and drive assist might as well be nonexistent.

2025 LT Midnight Edition

2025 Chevrolet Equinox LT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Purchased just over one month ago and just reached 1k miles. A little early to complain about much this early in the game but the front buckets are some of the most comfortable, not too firm not too soft seats I've ever sat in. Recently took a 500 mile two day excursion and I had no fatigue at all from sitting. I'm quite surprised I averaged 28 mpg, mostly freeway and moderate headwinds both directions(of course). This car really does have good power, and is quite responsive down low. The driver information center is very well laid out and looks great. Ton of legroom in the back seat and plenty of storage in the rear cargo area, this model has more room than it looks. Ours is a white LT, midnight edition and is quite sporty looking. Looked at two others, the first one being a Honda CRV and the other a Mazda CX5. Both great choices, but this one was the winner when it came to style and comfort.

3rd Equinox and love all of them!

2025 Chevrolet Equinox RS 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I trade cars often. I just purchased my 3rd Equinox because I always regret trading them off. My first was a black on black RS. My second was a fully loaded Premier, white, with every available option that can be had and now I just purchased another fully loaded RS AWD in Radiant Red Tintcoat with the black roof and 20” optional wheels. The 2026 design is so eye catching both inside and out. The seats are so comfortable and I love how the dash is low allowing better front visibility and a view of the sexy sculpted hood. Like everyone else has said, the speakers are awful, especially for $39k. To make mine perfect, I plan to have new speakers installed by a sound store to complete it. Any vehicle can be picked to death but over all the Equinox is sexy, masculine, and capable. For all the naysayers, did you not look at it and look at the options that it has and chose a different package? It doesn’t make sense to me to give the equinox a bad score because it doesn’t have an automatic trunk. It’s available, it’s not the cars fault that you chose the wrong package.
