Nope...they dropped the 2.0T for the 1.5T slug. Chevy's reasoning was poor sales?!??! First, that is BS. They build more 1.5T's because that is the standard engine. The 2.0T is optional. Is that number split 50/50 when a shipment arrives at the dealership? NOPE...1 - 2.0T for every 5 or more 1.5T's. That is why the sales stats are lopsided. Idiotic marketing! Prior to the drop, the Equinox was one of the most powerful in its class. Now its the weakest!!! I road tested the 1.5T and was ready to walk out the door and the salesman said we have a 2.0T which has almost 100 more HP. What a difference between the two! I'm glad I got my 2020 with the 2.0T. They did 1 thing "almost" right though. Got rid of all that extra chrome that no one wants lol. I like chrome, but my Equinox originally came with more chrome than a Harley! WTF!!!
I have 1.6D 2018 Equinox Premium fwd. But in my opinion the 2.0T AWD model is a better choice. But it's disappointing why the 2.0T can't be selected in this year's model.
Interior seems cheaper. 2nd row seat little reclining omg... they just followed toyota and honda cost saving structure. I can easily assume this car came from cost saving mindset.
@@robbrown6240 it’s absolutely hilarious that they think people will buy this over other suvs in that class. People will buy the escape, cr-v, corsair, and other cars over this all day. The facelift isnt even changing much. GM really dropped the bag when ford and fca have stepped up their suv segements
Should go with nissan rogue instead ? Took a short test drive . The CVT has come a long way now feels no more strained (not peppy though as auto gear boxes). I think its better going with that
@@ep3578 GM has almost never been a good value, comparing sticker price to sticker price, but that’s not a useful comparison. Out the door price is what actually matters. GM is no longer slapping four grand on the hood, the way they did pre-pandemic, but they still maintain a real-world cost advantage, on a couple of fronts. Though they’ve mostly stopped the crazy rebates, their financing deals are still leaps and bounds ahead of what competitors offer. 0% for five years, 1.9% for six. $299/month lease with only $1k down (or nothing down if you currently lease another car). No one else is this aggressive on the back end, and it saves buyers thousands, real world. Also, unlike most of their competitors, GM is, in the current market, actually manufacturing the lower trim versions of the vehicle. Check dealer inventories, and you’ll find them relatively swimming in LS and lightly optioned LT models. Meanwhile, Honda nominally makes a CR-V that stickers for $30k, but in this market, it’s entirely theoretical, as Honda stores rarely ever order LX or Special Edition models. It’s all EX-L and Touring, and larded up with four figure mark-ups or useless add-ons the dealer won’t budge on. You haven’t lived until a Honda salesman has, with a straight face, told you the CR-V you just test-drove could be yours for $45k out the door. It’s not quite as bad at Toyota, Hyundai, Mazda and Ford, but if you want a compact SUV, the Equinox is one of the cheapest real-world options, and far from the worst in the segment.
Honestly I like chevy but I don't understand why people sometimes say WELLLL ITS A CHEVY AT THE END OF THE DAY ... especially nowadays all the cars are the same with different logos .
If GM and your local dealer discount this like they have in past years, this is a very well-rounded value, with excellent crash ratings from NITSA. I like the meaty tires on the base LS and this LT but wish the vehicle had brake hold.
Tbh my 2017 equinox 2LT is way nicer interior quality … was considering getting something new but after seeing this I may just put money into my equinox and upgrade it only have 65k miles …
Great review, as always: Well-organized & quite thorough. You chose the right Equinox, an LT in Mosaic Black, just what I’m looking for. This review should help me with my purchase decision. Thanks!👍
i bought a 2021 LT in august with black bowties and 19 inch tires and i love it.....the rear seat leg room is great....drives and handles nicely....i replaced an 08 Jeep that had 341K on it......the features on the equinox are miles better than anything else i had
Great Review! I bought the 2020 Equinox back in Dec 2020. I absolutely love it so far. It looks a lot like the 2022 , I like my seats better than this one, but for the most part it looks the same. Great Review! And I would definitely recommend this for for anyone looking for a great mid size suv. Plenty of room for growing teenage boys as well!
@@chynacash3138 I had the 2018, for 2 weeks, when my Durango was totalled. I really enjoyed the ride, and comfort. Plus it had enough room than, my son's Honda CR V, so getting the 2020 I was a great choice.
We just upgraded from a 2001 Dodge Durango to the 2022 Chevy equinox a few days ago and we love it so far! How could we not as it was such a major upgrade lol. Lelia, I know your vehicle is only about two years old, but how is it holding up? How’s is maintenance? I see some hate on the vehicle online, but it just seems like a personal thing and not any real issue. I’m just curious, thanks!
The original 2.0 would not meet pollution certifications that were increased in California. They have a new 2.0 but with slightly reduced numbers. It is in the Envision now. But unfortunately with covid affecting parts supply chains, they have limited number available and are keeping it in the Buick’s for now. It was planned to be in the Equinox and Terrain until covid affected supplies.
I got myself the Equinox 22, fresh out of the paint, I love the vehicle, plenty of room inside, well on the road (I use to drive Chevi Silverado) very solid on the road, plenty of power. Got it at Doug Smith Auto in Spanish Fork Ut, a Mr. Reid sold it to me.
Aside from the front end change it’s still the same boring looking SUV.. buyers would get more bang for their buck purchasing a Kia, Hyundai, VW, or Toyota.
I own a 2.0 premier and I was looking at a new one until I learned that the 2.0 with the 9 speed trans is no longer available, that is a deal breaker for me, the smaller engine is lacking in power
Exactly. I’ll have to hold on to my 2019 until I can go EV. The 2.0 turbo with the 9 speed is very satisfying to drive. That extra power got me out of the way of crashes more than once, acceleration is just as much a safety feature as breaks.
Great review. Very odd but the driver side back seat doesn’t have a rear pocket. The passenger side does. I would rather have more trunk space (for work storage) than leg space in the rear seats. Otherwise, it’s a dependable and perfectly fine car in its category.
Took me 40 years to finally figure out that both Ford and Chevy/gmc such! This coming from many reviews,research and my own experience. Finally decided to go with a Honda. It's Honda or Toyota going forward!
Honda has better handling than Toyota. Toyota probably installs the best A/C in their autos. Toyota has the most patents on solid state batteries, it is reported
One big problem with east Asian cars: driver’s seats are back killers but I admit I havent tried a full-size SUV from them. The new RAV4s and Passports may also be comfortable in driver’s seat
Thank you so much! That means a lot. As of right now I don’t know when I can get one. I’m supposed to be getting a G70 down the road but hopefully I can get access to a dealership and grab one anytime.
NO diesel or hybrid model no thanks. Putting on lipstick on a older design and not improving efficiency options I can't see getting this. I have the 2018 Equinox diesel and no way I get a decease in efficiency
For 22 no heated seats b/c of chip shortage, Chevy's anyway. They are built as heated & Chevy will activate when Chips are plentiful 50.00 credit for inconvenience. They had to get cars on the lots.
I just purchased my first car (as an adult, YAY!) and I am SO pleased that it is the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. It is SO nice and the best investment in a vehicle that I've ever made. Thank you so much for this in-depth review!
because used cars in very good to excellent condition are a very hot ticket with dealerships. They've offered me a nice incentive on my 18 Equinox LS. And I could be looking at getting into the 22 RS in the iron Grey metallic. My current one is Nightfall Grey and I like it. So the iron grey looks very similar.
That’s a good question because this refresh was supposed to come sooner than this so no telling when they will actually go with the new generation. Traverse refresh was supposed to come earlier too but is coming for this 2022 year
@@PrimeAutotainment - It also said it would be on the same platform as the Encore GX and Trailblazer. I hope it would obviously be a stretched version of it, but still that probably means a crappier ride versus being on a larger sturdier platform.
Why does GM use the break light as the turning signal. Like come on… you have the extra space for the amber color or a separate bulb for turning signal. I don’t understand.
Just purchased the 2022 LT. It’s a basic well rounded vehicle as you stated. It’s a great commute car. I’m not sure it would be something I’d go cross country with and I don’t think that was GM’s intent. I would give it a A- for a commuter. Thanks for the video.
The worst brand new car i ever purchased....nothing but problems 1 after the next starting right after purchased. Warning....DON'T purchase you will regret it.
GM has not done enough that’s why I went to Honda. At one time they were the ultimate in cars but then they spent all their money on their executives not on upgrading their cars. For me to go back to GM they would have to upgrade their cars on accessories, quality and performance. Now that Musk is buying GM they have lost all their credibility. So Japan is going to get my money. So Sorry.
Idk why in the name of Ghad and all that is holy Chevy continues to use the rubberized button covers over the steering wheel buttons. It’s the absolute cheapest looking thing in the world. I couldn’t give these folks my money if I wanted to. They’re not even trying at this point.
The equinox is ugly. The inside is cheap and even though it's been refreshed it looks dated. It is very underpowered. It's expensive for what it is. There's no reason to buy this vehicle over any others in the segment.
I have the old model 2016 has a V6 AWD lov it private windows from the factory aluminium rims Chrome details all the way around heater seats plenty space in the back with the automatic transmission
Hey Nolan Good to see you do the Equinox. I think this car don’t get enough love. I love my Impalas WIRELESS 4G WIFI up to 7 devices for $15 a month. ABsolute no issues with it. Where my Phone has dead spots in some areas the WIFI keeps me conntected. ALso Love the Pano Roof everyone talks about it that rides in it. I think this Equinox needed a little more change. Hybrid for one, and better exterior style, and a better updated interior with a digital Gauges. I should of waited to comment intil the end. You said what I said LOL>
I own a 2007 Equinox...I love it & would recommend the Equinox. 170,000 miles & still going strong. Had a Blazer before that and it lasted 12yrs before I got the Equinox..I got tired of the color but it was running fine.
My complaint with the Equinox, and the Terrain for this matter, is the rear ac tunnel. It is not flush with the front seats like a well done cuv. It goes too much rearward that the middle seat occupant will not feel comfortable.
Wheres the water pump? Still where its hard to change? On that 2022 will sensors start going bad in 5 years like the 2016 overpriced problem we have right now?
The fact that the one and only engine is a lowly 170 HP 1.5T on both this and the more expensive Terrain showcases how GM just doesn't care about fun or excitement or customer satisfaction. Agendas, box checking and Barra's triple three battery electric future is literally all she cares about. My 2019 Impala will be my last GM ever since they refuse to make sedans other than small overpriced Cadillacs.
Will it last more that 60,000 miles unlike the 2013 that my girlfriends daughter has to replace the engine, are the timing chains better quality than the cheap pieces of shit they put on the previous models🗑🗑🗑
I have a 2015 civic, great little car but already needs some work suspension wise, my dad has a 2012 rav4 which I like the ride height, and I’ll probably going to get a small compact suv.
The chevy equinox should have been bigger wider and longer body no 3rd row seating a disappointment 😒 no mimi fridge same as last year lay out i don't like
1.5 turbo no other option ? no turbo for me.. no thank you ,,had three with turbo,s it mess''s up ur engine if not serviced in three years..what happen to the 2.4 ?
I liked the car and your review of it. My brother just bought one the other day. gas mileage would be my biggest concern, my ford focus gets 42 to a gal. but they have well-known trans problems. so now I am looking for something myself.
I have the 2020 equinox LT Its a good car but, there's a dangerous glare in the info screen with driving in the daytime. I was hoping they would fix this in the upgrade, sense they didnt i don't think I will get the new model.
That exterior is really bad! Those cheap incandescent signals up front... it needs fog lamps up front. On the rear they didn't even use the housing for the amber signal, they incorporated it into the brake light. That is a cost cutting factor. Interior is well... bad as usual. I really hope the Chev/GMC team gets new designers soon!
Does it still have an auto stop? What I meant by that is when you come to a complete stop, it would shut off! The only way it would start back up, if you let off the brake or it would start back up on its own after a few minutes!
I leased a 2022 equinox, didnt see the gas tank in your video. I wanted to see if it is filled up by the left opening or does the rubber come off on the right, under the external flap.
No faith in GM. Prefer what Mazda is doing these days. Been watching Kia as well as their progress is real. Not wishing any ill to GM. One day they may turn back towards the greatness they once had.
good gosh how far Gm has fallen and they dont wanna get up , look at that dash looks like it was made by bean counters, the interior looks numb and cheap and that engine and people use to laugh at hyundai, kia there running away with design, performance, interior etc etc etc.
GM interior still way to plastic which tells you they still are cutting corners and quality is not there ...also I personally do not want turbo engines...
The one thing this has that the others don’t is the ability to tow with all four wheels down. Can’t do it with any of the others mentioned as competitors here.. you have Ford and Jeep for the most part. Can’t do with any hybrid or full electric. So need something to tow behind motorhome and can’t have cut.
Did Chevy excite you or disappoint you with this 2022 refresh? Let me know below!
It looks amazing!! Excitement!! I live my 2020 !

I had a rat bagged 2007 Equinox. hitting 280,000 k before I sold it to my brother who is still abusing it to this day.
30 G’s for a 1LT with FWD? With that interior? From 2018? Chevy needs to stop doing drugs man, they’re making it hard for people to buy from them

Followed from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hey Nolan Good to see you do the Equinox. I think this car don’t get enough love. I love my Impalas WIRELESS 4G WIFI up to 7 devices for $15 a month. ABsolute no issues with it. Where my Phone has dead spots in some areas the WIFI keeps me conntected. ALso Love the Pano Roof everyone talks about it that rides in it. I think this Equinox needed a little more change. Hybrid for one, and better exterior style, and a better updated interior with a digital Gauges. I should of waited to comment intil the end. You said what I said LOL>
Hey Gene978, since you own one, does it come with Sirius XM radio? Lots of cars have it and provide from 90 days to 6 months of free trial.
@@ofcbob6391 yes
I own a 2007 Equinox...I love it & would recommend the Equinox. 170,000 miles & still going strong. Had a Blazer before that and it lasted 12yrs before I got the Equinox..I got tired of the color but it was running fine.
Very nice.
👍
My complaint with the Equinox, and the Terrain for this matter, is the rear ac tunnel. It is not flush with the front seats like a well done cuv. It goes too much rearward that the middle seat occupant will not feel comfortable.
chevy has the worst interiors. change my mind
There's no comparison between Chevy and Mazda when it comes to interiors. The Mazda is 100x better.
Wheres the water pump? Still where its hard to change?
On that 2022 will sensors start going bad in 5 years like the 2016 overpriced problem we have right now?
Stop grays need more browns green hate gray I will not buy it

The fact that the one and only engine is a lowly 170 HP 1.5T on both this and the more expensive Terrain showcases how GM just doesn't care about fun or excitement or customer satisfaction. Agendas, box checking and Barra's triple three battery electric future is literally all she cares about. My 2019 Impala will be my last GM ever since they refuse to make sedans other than small overpriced Cadillacs.
My 2016 CTS says what...will never overpay for a BMW or Merc again.
Wanna talk about lowly power? Downgrade 2 notches to a Trax. Those are woefully slow and can’t even get out of their own way
Sharp Looking 2022 Chevrolet Equinox SUV-I test drove a 2021 Chevy Equinox at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show
Ill bet its another cardiac of america.
Will it last more that 60,000 miles unlike the 2013 that my girlfriends daughter has to replace the engine, are the timing chains better quality than the cheap pieces of shit they put on the previous models🗑🗑🗑
I have a 2015 civic, great little car but already needs some work suspension wise, my dad has a 2012 rav4 which I like the ride height, and I’ll probably going to get a small compact suv.
The Equniox looks cheaply made . If you want to depend 3 hours for all change at dealership buy a Chevy
The chevy equinox should have been bigger wider and longer body no 3rd row seating a disappointment 😒 no mimi fridge same as last year lay out i don't like
Great video, but this vehicle is ugly as hell and looks cheap. Why would someone choose an Equinox over a Terrain.
Shout out from Frisco, Tx
1.5 turbo no other option ? no turbo for me.. no thank you ,,had three with turbo,s it mess''s up ur engine if not serviced in three years..what happen to the 2.4 ?
We have a 2018 and It is a pice of junk...I mean cheap peach pice of ×=÷# and it is the top of line. Never another one...
I liked the car and your review of it. My brother just bought one the other day. gas mileage would be my biggest concern, my ford focus gets 42 to a gal. but they have well-known trans problems. so now I am looking for something myself.
I have the 2020 equinox LT Its a good car but, there's a dangerous glare in the info screen with driving in the daytime. I was hoping they would fix this in the upgrade, sense they didnt i don't think I will get the new model.
That exterior is really bad! Those cheap incandescent signals up front... it needs fog lamps up front. On the rear they didn't even use the housing for the amber signal, they incorporated it into the brake light. That is a cost cutting factor. Interior is well... bad as usual. I really hope the Chev/GMC team gets new designers soon!
Wtf is gm doing, I’ve always loved gm. BUT these new chevys are but ugly🤦🏼♂️📉😂
I had a 19 with the 2.0 turbo. That thing went and the towing was twice as much as as the 1.5. Like you can shut off the auto stop on the 22.
Those 2.0s are so fast.
Equinox is a family suv lots of space inside its a low profile has awd and it can tow a trailer.
Does it still have an auto stop? What I meant by that is when you come to a complete stop, it would shut off! The only way it would start back up, if you let off the brake or it would start back up on its own after a few minutes!
In Israel, the land of the riches, those cars cost double the price. Also the gasoline. No wonder Israel is a rich country, with pour people!
I leased a 2022 equinox, didnt see the gas tank in your video. I wanted to see if it is filled up by the left opening or does the rubber come off on the right, under the external flap.
No faith in GM. Prefer what Mazda is doing these days. Been watching Kia as well as their progress is real.
Not wishing any ill to GM. One day they may turn back towards the greatness they once had.
good gosh how far Gm has fallen and they dont wanna get up , look at that dash looks like it was made by bean counters, the interior looks numb and cheap and that engine and people use to laugh at hyundai, kia there running away with design, performance, interior etc etc etc.
So does the Equinox LT 2022 come with universal remote/garage door opener (home link)?
GM interior still way to plastic which tells you they still are cutting corners and quality is not there ...also I personally do not want turbo engines...
1.5 only :|
Seriously!
bring back the Diesel engine option
The screen is kinda facing upwards towards the front windshield.
Still got bumps, groves, or creases on the body. The old one like in 2011 I think was good shape
The one thing this has that the others don’t is the ability to tow with all four wheels down. Can’t do it with any of the others mentioned as competitors here.. you have Ford and Jeep for the most part. Can’t do with any hybrid or full electric. So need something to tow behind motorhome and can’t have cut.
Scuttlebutt says, the single engine choice will be expanded for 2023.
So all cars have the same interior
They got rid of the 2.0T 👎🏼
