This is my 3rd Equinox, my last was a 2022 and a 2019 before that. There is no trunk release on the LT version and I have some upgrades. There isn't even a trunk release button inside. My other Equinox's with the same trim had it. If this is a family SUV not having it is a really inconvenience when your hands are full and have kids to situate.The gear shift out of the steering column is a lot to get used to. They moved the wiper blades to the left side. The buttons behind the steering wheel to adjust the volume and such are awkwardly placed being they are lower than before so I barely use them now because I have to lower my position on the steering wheel which doesn't feel natural like before. The ride seems smoother but its higher up and bigger feel all around, especially the boxy hood. It's never taken me so long to adapt to a new car/suv. I hope I get used to the suv. It's been 3 weeks. I am glad I have a lease because I wont get another one if there aren't some changes. The trunk is a big issue for me. I can't even pop it open for my husband to help carry some stuff in(after he gets off work) when I am already in the house. I have to go outside with my keys to get it open. I also have 2 google maps in the dash. One i can make calls from and one I am still being asked to sign in for. There is no phone icon on the screen. You have to go to the control panel and look for it there or use one of the googles to pull up the phone contacts and favorites. I am a techy person and I feel like i'm missing something here.

Greatest Most Solid NOX Ever!

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

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.

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.

Love the new Equinox look and feel. Dual displays make for great visualization. Roomy and comfortable. Rides smooth.
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.
