I absolutely love my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox. It handles beautifully and has plenty of power for passing and pulling out into traffic. The changes made this model year make it a vehicle that is noticed.

Introducing Kiwi

Just picked up my 2025 equinox active in cacti green with the white roof top and named her kiwi. I am just odd at how packed with safety and technology. The top level of this trim is even more south than my Subaru, which was top-tier. Since I made a tool around in the city and in the burbs, I’m not worried much about not having a lot of power as I do not do a lot of long trips anymore at my age. This is a smooth and comfortable ride and easy to use technology even for us older people. The interior is high-quality materials much better than the 19 equinox I had and I also love the sporty and adventurous look of this active model.

I never liked the 2020 we had, but now I miss it. The new interior is just a laptop screen with less legroom. The seats are just as bad as before. The steering wheel is off-center of the driver and new shifter leaves no confidence for if it’s in park (already rolled into a sidewalk). The new anti-collision features just blink, vibrate and ring for anything near the road and side mirror warning detects road lines! At 6’1” I’m considered tall yet the hood shaped like the Batmobile causes blind spots. The radio volume is too close to the settings button for man hands, causing me to constantly fiddle with the screen. The car wanders (especially bad in wind) and the suspension is too soft and bottoms out constantly. With 9,000km it already has a warning to service AWD (which hadn’t been used). Overall one of the worst cars I’ve driven in the 20+ years driving and over 100 vehicles.

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.

We moved from a 2022 into a 2025…wow!! Chevy has outdone itself in terms of improvements and redesign. It feels like a whole new class of vehicle! The digital control displays are impressive!

This car is wonderful. The tech package on the LT is stellar. The large double screen is nice. Apple Car Play is offered and is superior to the GM stock screen controls. The price is very fair, the vehicle is roomy, rides well, and is well built. The base model LT comes well stocked with amenities. The interior finishes are multi textured and feel like they belong in a higher end car. I love this car so much...my wife just swapped in her older car in for an Equinox. We now have two Equinox in our family.

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'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.

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.
