2025 Chevrolet Equinox Consumer Reviews

Intricate infotainment system
I have the Aktiv. It has plenty of power, all the normal driving controls work right. Cameras on all four sides, adaptive, cruise control, and voice control for most of the controls in the inside. The problem is you can’t find a list anywhere of all the correct terminology to use for the voice controls. Even the dealer can’t help me. Sometimes you use Google, sometimes you just talk to the car, and sometimes, in my case, I have to use Apple CarPlay to get it to do what I want. None of this is documented well anywhere. The car is pretty high up off the ground, And getting in and out requires sliding across the outside edge of the driver seat. I can see that that edge of the seat is going to wear prematurely. I don’t even know why the car is that high up. I put a USB flash drive in there with music on it, the same one that I used in my previous two Hondas, and the equinox doesn’t even see a lot of the songs that are on it. The dealers have done extensive research, to find out why these songs are not detected or played in this car, but they play in all the older cars. they can’t find the information anywhere, and neither can I. I find that very disappointing. OnStar offers a basic eight year plan called OnStar basic. Among other things, it includes basic navigation. Many of the OnStar built-in functions only work if you have OnStar Wi-Fi. After 90 days, this Wi-Fi has to be paid for or they disable it. So I called them up and I said OK enable it. and they did. At the same time they canceled my eight year OnStar basic plan. That meant all I had was Wi-Fi. No crash protection nothing. So I canceled the Wi-Fi, and got my eight year plan back.

Greatest Most Solid NOX Ever!
Just love my Activ AWD 2025 Nox. I live off road with a small two track half mile driveway that gets pretty good snow drifts in MI winters. The aggressive General Grabber off road tires and twin clutch AWD system give the greatest assurance I can navigate anything mother nature throws my way, just like the Jeep I traded in for my Nox. The tech on this vehicle took a while to master but is leaving me with a great big smile every time I drive. Do yourself a favor and join some of the dedicated forum groups to learn little tricks that can't be found in the Chevy tutorials, like saying Hey Google, show me the Sound Options, to maximize the audio listening pleasures that a lot of folks are complaining about the sound system in these cars. The engine and chassis set up is really pleasing in this fourth generation Nox as compared to the several third generation vehicles I have owned. You will be pleased you decided to buy one, so go ahead and do it soon.

likr driving a van
I think this vehicle is a overpriced van. I shouldnt have to pay close to $31,000 for a vehicle that still uses a lever to switch gear and move the seats back or up. All that computer stuff is great... for a desktopn not driving. the control buttons for heating and so forth seems so rinky dink. the back cargo area everything slides on each turn because of the plastic matting back there. Just yo seel the actual gas gauge you have to push this and that buttond. In all a horrible design.
