New and old together

I've had a 2018 Premier since new 150k on the clock. Never had any issues so going into the 2025 I wasn't concerned with the reliability of the drive train whatsoever. Almost everything that made it a Premier is standard as far as safety features go. I didn't like the red RS interior so I got an LT midnight with the roof and conveince II package. Absolutely love the car only problem buying this one that I can think of was the fact my old one had alot of miles so trade in wasn't good so my son owns it now.

Traded in a Mercedes glc300 for this vehicle, don't laugh..... but the Mercedes was the worst vehicle we ever owned. We wanted safety features along with a comfortable ride and a decent amount of room. We got the active trim with the tech package and the convenience package 3, which I highly recommend. Great looking vehicle with a ton of features. The speakers are not great. The infotainment system is easy to use and the controls have knobs and buttons!.....the Mercedes has finger slide controls.

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.

Great value

I just bought my 2025 Equinox Activ in 11/24. The car is the 1.5L with CVT transmission, but is otherwise is nicely equipped with panoramic sunroof, Safety package, and convenience package. After 4 months of use, my only complaints are: poor radio and speakers, below average mileage (averaging 23.1 mpg with mixed driving), and road noise above 70 mph. However, I love the tank interior, the wide LCD screen, and the updated safety equipment, including the 360 degree camera. I would like this car much more if it had the Bose radio, and 2.0L engine available. Other than that, I like the seating position, handling, brakes, and ergonomics.
