For a fully loaded compact SUV, this is a solid entry into the car market. If you can get one at a discounted rate it's worth a look. It has good styling that most people can live with.
A Chevy is better than a Toyota? Are you high? I've owned cars by all the big three as well as Toyota and Nissan. The Asian cars win for quality and durability every time in my experience and my extended families experiences.
Why don't you go read about JD powers reviews on the vehicle and reliability. A source that isn't full of fanboys that think Toyota is king because of its logo. Better ride, better price, better vehicle
@@jmay5583 YOU are the fanboy. JD Power is a farce and everyone who knows anything about their car ratings agrees. Misleading and completely useless. Also the ratings are about 1-2 year old vehicles, if the engine blows up after just 3 years it wont affect the rating at all. GM mechanics themselves warn people not to buy the 1.5. That's a more credible source than JD joker / faker LOL
I bought a brand new of this awesome lovely unbeatable car. I trade it in with my Buick encore. I love this rig, gives me a smooth ride every day. It has everything i needed. I didn’t add a sunroof which I don’t need it at all. Save $$$ if you have something to trade in however it is worth it, you won’t regret having one. Just enjoy the ride it provides. ❤
Leasing a Honda passport right now. Believe it or not, I’m actually considering returning the lease and BUYING this for the long haul. Rather have a fully loaded equinox than a base trim passport for close to the same price
Have a 22 Equinox LT, love the style, interior is great,huge amount of legroom @ storage. Premier is top of the line,higher trim @ features. Thanks Ben . I did look at the 22 Rav4 @ 22 CRV,but wasn't that impressed. Noisy, didn't like the ride quality. Overall quality is pretty much the same for the class. Toyota @ Honda are over hyped.Limited availability, Dealer mark ups were ridiculous.
i agree, drove the crv and wasnt impressed with the price and missing options. what trunk has a big hump when you fold the seats down? the cr-v. rims looked generic and the whole vehicle the same. we have an 18 equinox with 130k on it an still going strong. the new one has better features and still looks a ton better than both the cr-v and rav4. when they flashed the dealer markup of 2k on the crv my mind was made for me
Our 2014 we just hit 212000 miles andy wife is on the fence go for a 3rd equinox ( our 2005 had 194k on it when we traded off to 2014) or a cx5 or cx50.
Just ordered an AWD LS trim, with a bunch of add-on options, great value for money, I looked into other domestic and imports, and although some offered tougher, more powerfull drive trains, their prices we out to lunch, with very few standard features. The truth is that GM screwed customers with the earlier 2.4 4cyl models, that had a bunch of problems, but this new model, with the 1.5L turbo engine has been sorted out.
The people that designed and assembled the Equinox needs a good swift kick until they learn to put some pride in their work. Absolutely embarrassing to the American workforce
Yea you may be right on Toyota are cheaply made but Toyota has been proving how reliable their cars for so many years that when the time of buying a car comes it is too hard to see others cars brands
I've been doing a lot of used car test drives. The Equinox Premier with the Confidence & Convenience II Package applies driver technology through their mix of Infotainment self-park technologies in intuitive ways by combining just the right functionality into the Infotainment center and leaving the some out of it where it is better. Today's vehicles are rolling blind spots. IMO they should ALL be required by law to have the 360-degree surround vision and blind spot detection at minimum. There was a time when Toyota and Honda stood well above the rest for being a good gamble for long life and few surprises. Lately they've been sleeping at the switch which in an advancing market means competition catching up and surpassing integrating new technology, design, and quality. With reliability and long-life becoming much more common. For their pricing and what they deliver, they are supported in large part by the past reputation they have earned, and not so much what is current. Kia, Mazda, etc. have earned mind share to where how much Honda and Toyota can under-deliver for the price and remain behind in technologies is getting narrower and narrower, and people are more driven by comparisons than generational loyalties or the brand of their first vehicle. The Equinox is hard to beat. Their sales and resale prove it. With the prices of used compared to new, new often comes out less expensive all things considered. I've been looking at the Ford Edge too. FAR more vehicle, MUCH nicer, better built, better mechanical technology, same used price, fabulous deal, original owners took a bath, but it has technology that can't compete, and you need to go with the ST to come close. The biggest screw up with the Equinox? The took away the Turbo 2.0L and 9-speed option. The engine allowed the car to be a highway cruiser. It was quiet and the engine turned at 1700 rpm on the highway instead of a noisy 2400, and it could merge and pass much better. The 1.5 is fine at slow speeds, but as soon is it trades speed for torque at highway speeds and runs into wind resistance, it cheapens the ride. If you drop back to 2020, then you lose the automatic parking assist. It weighs 1000 lbs. less than the Edge ST and would be able to have very similar performance with 252 hp.
@@horse__power7891 I've had my Honda CRV 2007 since the first day it came out from the dealer. Almost 300.000 km later it runs like the day one. The SUV is rated as one of the must reliable and durable SUVs and it's one of the must sold of it's segment. Wanna buy a piece of shit for 5 years or less? go with American brands. Good luck.

Whether or not design is attractive, GM (especially Chevy) have produced reliable cars the past few years. Unfortunately, those bad years of unreliability have yet to be shed. All things being equal, I'd take this Equinox over a Vera or RAV4 (they just need to use 50% less chrome).

You have a real nice video but please SLOW DOWN WHEN SPEAKING! There are people in this world that have hearing issues...
Thanks for the review!
Hey Ben I viewed a video here on TH-cam that the Equinox and it GMC cousin were bad on resale value and reliability.
Great review Ben.

Perhaps a review of the same car after driving it for 5 years might convince me a chevy is better than a Toyota.

Toyotas have far superior long term reliability!

Why you shouldn't buy a Chevy instead of a TOYOTA or a HONDA?
QUALITY!!!!!
Overrated. Too expensive. In this throw away world, most people do t keep their vehicles very long unless they paid too much for them.

Arguments? Toyota rav4 is the most boring SUV you can buy, except VW Tiguan. CRV is more expensive
I like my vehicles that I can expect to last 200-300k miles and even more. Some opinions are flat wrong.
Not bad for $28k.

There are plenty of reasons why not to buy a Toyota 😂
The equinox, as well as any GM product is the main though.
