Nice job! Your camera work is very smooth, covering the vehicle from all angles without any jerkiness. And your narration is also good; you give just enough detail without too much chatter. I enjoyed this.
I wanted to see a real world test drive of the 1.5l and you did exactly that. Not much revving and it looks like it has enough power for everyday use.
A 1.5 L 4-cyl turbo? This is a super mini mouse Chevy engine. 30+ on the highway. This old man is impressed by the tech. Thanks for the great review.
I have a 2011 Equinox LT with 100k miles. The Chevy Equinox line is so nice and been in love with it since I got it
My 2008 is finally on it's last leg at 196,000.
I like the exterior refresh as personally I don't have an issue with how the interior carried over with little change. It is nice that they added a few more standard safety features.
I love you thorough reviews!! Keep up the wonderful work!!
Thanks so much! 😁😁
Excellent job. Great review. Nice angles. Very informative. Two thumbs up. Thanks.
Wonderful review. So thorough and really straight forward. Thank you!
The Chevy Equinox RS has red contrast stitching with 3 stage heated and cooled front seats and (I think) 3 stage heated rear seats as an option. The Equinox Premier has luxury upgrades like 2 tone perforated leather interior, 3 stage heated and cooled front seats, and 3 stage heated rear seats. With the heated rear seats (that's available on the Premier trim level), there's a button to heat just the seat back and a button to heat the seat back and the bottom. So there isn't just 2 heated seat buttons for the rear passengers, but there's 4. On this particular one, around the infotainment system it has that cheap plastic and the infotainment system screen looks smaller. Would've been nice to have the infotainment system slightly bigger and clearer and have glass and gloss black around the infotainment system, but at least there's an option for that on the LT. (As I read on the website) On the LT, you don't get leather interior, but instead, you get cloth interior.
I watched a lot of Equinox videos, and this one was by far, the best!
Thank you! We are looking at a used one and this gave such a great overview!
I have the 2019 Equinox LT - very much the same as this vehicle - the 170 hp engine is more than adequate for everyday driving. The vehicle gets 28 mpg too. I recommend it.
💯
One thing car designers should keep in mind...the weird pointy angles of the edge of the open doors, you know what I mean...when you have to get out of the way of the car door because of some sharp edge jutting out.
Nice review! Definitely considering moving up to an Equinox from a Trax .. power definitely seems there and looked like it got up to highway speed without breaking much of a sweat .. would have to do a full kick down to get up to freeway speed in the Trax
i loved my Equinox ima Chevy girl
Me too.
Is it a Chevy suv ? I know Chevy cars are fast
Ford better
Good review. You hit all the stuff anyone would need to see. That one guy is so stuck on himself he takes 25 minutes to get through the reviews.
@Nothin' But Car Reviews: Would you happen to think that the drivers area is a bit narrow due to the high console? In my opinion I think the console sits higher than they normally would. I drive a 2021 Chevy Equinox LS. I'm 6'3 and have plenty of leg room, but as far as arm space I feel a bit closed in. It's not as roomy as I'd like as far as width is concerned. It drives pretty good though. What do you think? I'm considering the Chevy Blazer though it seems that it'll have more of the arm/width space that I'm looking for.
Takes getting used to, but I like having the higher console to rest my arm. It can feel claustrophobic though.
Good vehicle, I like the front end change but the interior is the same as my 2019 except the 2022 got the stop/start shutoff button that the 2021 was supposed to get.
I test drove a 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier at the 2021 Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place
2022 Chevy Equinox LT FWD
Engine: 1.5 L EcoTec 4-Cylinder
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic
so I have leased 4 equinoxs so far, I think they are good vehicles I was really hoping for an updated refresh for this make. Perhaps 2023? I do like the looks of the front and back but honestly the cabin is ho-hum its no different than my 19. I do like the option to turn off the start/stop that will be nice, but unless car prices stay high and I cant find a good deal I may move on to the blazer.
Looks good!
Driving a 2021 Equinox Lt average mpg for the first 7000 miles is 33mpg satisfied so far
must be almost all xway miles, no?
Redid the front I see. The push for electric vehicles is in full effect I see. These engines keep getting smaller
Really good power my butt the Turbo don’t kick in until 4000 rpm
Ford escape is trolling this video two ads on in the beginning and one at the end
😂😂
In my case, Honda CRV and Chevy Trax (2024)
Quiero esa Chevrolet equinox lt 2022
How will it handle driving with 500lb of tools and equipment loaded in? We have them for corporate fleet vehicles, mine shipped from factory recently. Currently have a 2019 grand caravan lots HP.
You’ll probably have a tad more of a strain on engine, but shouldn’t be a problem all in all.
Very nice car
Does the radio of the Equinox LS 2018 comes with backup camera ??
Yes
Really I like it 🙂
I'll like to get the 2022 or 23 down the road it looks sweet
I got one a 22 LT AWD wanna go for a ride?
Does this only come in FWD, AWD or both options? And have you tested both? If so, which would you prefer?
Comes in both and unless you need all wheel drive for a lot of snow and Icy terrain, fwd is the best option in my opinion.
Thank you!
I like the Equinox because it’s inexpensive, has good legroom, an easy to use infotainment system, and handles quite well.
I dislike it for the small cargo space compared to its competitors, its loud engine, and very rental-looking interior.
What I don’t understand is what’s the purpose of the 2022 redesign. Aside from a few minor exterior design modifications and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, are there any significant improvements?
Not really, just the facelift.
If you can tolerate the loud engine and limited cargo space, the GMC Terrain has a nicer look, imho. Some claim it's quieter on the inside too, but I haven't verified it.
@@NothinButCarReviewsnot worth it
I have a 2015. Howcome they still haven3 figured out to put cup holder somewhere OTHER THAN IN THE SEAT!!!
😂😂😂 No idea.
My dealer tells me there is massive difference in quality difference between ones build in Mexico and ones build in Canada. (Mexican build have a lot of quality issues). Also don't expect these engines to last past 100k miles. If you buy new, trade it in before then, a d if you're on the marked for used, stay away.
🤡🤡
My 2019 1.5 LT Equinox is very impressive. I'm not into super fast cars so I'm satisfied even though it's actually not as slow as people think
It has better acceleration than the Rav4 in my opinion even though its like 20 less HP.
고맙습니다 👍
Light, but front and back cave it like an accordion when hit lightly, cost $15,000
only significant change for 2022 is the front fascia....
Looks literally exactly the same as the one I drive 2019 equinox lt awd. Same interior almost same exterior just dark grill
Why did they stop making the 2.0 L engine with 9-speed transmission?
th-cam.com/video/GUlC_TyT2Uc/w-d-xo.html
I like the front fascia as well. The 1.5 T doesn't do it for me. I think the 2.0 should be standard in that vehicle.
They have federal mandates for overall mileage requirements of their vehicle fleet
so they have to put smaller motors in cars to offset the mileage on their trucks which are the big sellers. If they did not make trucks that Equinox would probably have a V-6 turbo and would be an awesome vehicle.
The 2.0 won’t be available for the ‘22.
@@mitch4527 that makes me so fucking sad, I don't want an electric car.
한국은 언제 출시를 할까요? ㅠㅠ
I use to love this car until somebody told me it looks like a minivan and now everytime i see it i think Chrysler Pacifica
why is it true?
@@MVBT they’re but if I’m buying a suv i don’t want it to look like a minivan it defeats the whole purpose of buying a suv.
But why do you care what someone else says. If you love the car, you love the car. And besides, the Chrysler Pacifica is a beautiful vehicle, better looking and far more practical than most SUV’s.
@@adamesd3699 Honestly it’s true
@@adamesd3699 it’s not about caring what someone else said in my opinion now that i look at it it looks like a Minivan i don’t want my suv to look like a minivan i am 20 years old i have no reason to be in a minivan
Does the 1.5 liter feel underpowered at times? I feel like It should have at least come with a 2.0 liter turbo as standard.
I’ve never had an issue with the 1.5 in the Malibu or Equinox. Of course the 2 liter is faster, but most people won’t mind the 1.5 in my opinion.
@@NothinButCarReviews Oh cool.
You can’t even get the 2.0 anymore, they ditched it for 2022. Can only get 1.5. Lame
The 1.5 does not feel under-powered. The problem is that it has to rev pretty hard to get to the meat of its power range, and that gets noisy.
I’m surprised how similar the interior of 2022 is to the 2021. I don’t even understand why Chevy put in the time and expense to change the outside body if they were going to give us basically the same car. The 2017-2021 exterior was fine, it was the interior that needed some work. I’d rather they had spent the money and effort on the interior.
@@adamesd3699 The 1.5 feels ok, but it does run out of steam. Fine for most consumers. But was nice having 2.0L option. I like the facelift, front looks better. The interior I agree, way too much hard plastic and screen needs to be bigger. I’ll be going elsewhere.
I have 2018 2.0 turbo the only thing they changed was the lights. I’m guessing this is just the base model I would hope. The turn ratio on these SUV’s are trash that’s the only thing I don’t like about my vehicle
Front fascia looks too low and really subject to dings/scrapes, still has crap seats - hate it. Best seats were the older 2017 back models.
Aside from exterior is practically the same
I love the new front end of this Equinox. I have a 2013 Equinox LT with a V6 and love it. I was disappointed with the redesigned Equionx when they dropped the V6 and won't buy another one because of that. I'm forced to go to either the Blazer or Traverse to get V6 the engine I love. It's too bad.
Forget a V6.... My 2019 Equinox 1.5 is a beast!!
How reliable is the turbo engine? We have a 2013 that we love but it is starting to use oil
@@loubzac3 That's not the turbo there are lots of videos talking about that. I can't recall what they say is the problem with those but I do the newer models are redesigned
Thank you
Equinox has auto hold?
Do not believe so, at least not in this model
Экран мультимедии увеличить в 2 раза, панорамку с люком.....а так тачка класная..
I was going to buy this until I saw there isn't a moonroof...I love my moonroofs
Went with a Subaru Forester Premium
Full moonroof is an option. My wife's 2022 has it.
My 2019 have the panoramic moon roof.... Idk what version you saw 😂
I did not know wireless Apple CarPlay was a thing 😳
yup, no wires to hook up for Android Auto also...soon all cars will have it
It seems like not enough soundproofing in this car. Doesn't it?
I thought it was relatively quiet in the cabin, but it’s definitely no Cadillac or Buick. 😂
@@NothinButCarReviews that's true.
That is my one complaint
about the Equinox not enough sound insulation road noise comes through
3:08 Is that seat ripped?
I don’t think so
@@NothinButCarReviews Must be a hole for the latch?
Smooth ride?
Decent for a mid size crossover.
I have a 2015 equinox and it’s junk. Was junk when I bought it new. Never had a vehicle that spent so much time at the dealership.
This new equinox should have a V6 in them, it was offered on the second generation but not sure why it’s not on the third generation. That echotech 4 engine is JUNK don’t buy a GM vehicle with this engine, get the V6 model and if there is no V6, then get a different vehicle.
Why are they not making this in a V6? Don't get it..
Production cost and fuel saving. They put these small turbos on them to give it just enough power.
Get the 2.0 turbo. No suv or crossover should be under 200hp at minimum. Anyone that opts for the regular 4 is the reason why traffic gets backed up.
th-cam.com/video/GUlC_TyT2Uc/w-d-xo.html
Stupid thing to say.
@@CMV314 doesn’t change the fact I said what I said
They don't make the 2.0 turbo for the Equinox anymore. 🤷♂️
@@CMV314 VERY stupid thing to say 💯
What is the prize
$32K sticker.
GM should fix the old ones everyone already has instead of putting out more techy piece of crap versions that’ll have the same problems.
My neighbor has an 2021 Equinox and water was coming into the floor area on the drivers side when she drove in the rain. After a few tries the dealership said they found something that was not finished properly at the factory and they repaired that area. Seems to not leak anymore.
SsangYoung Korando ile neredeyse aynı
That's ok I was told by the CONSUMER dept. Donot buy the 2022 OR thec2023 Equinox
Reason
My BOSS HATES HER EQUINOX HER AND HER HUSBAND TOLD THE ENTIRE STAFF NOT TO BUY EQUIXOX
Não mudou nada apenas a frontal .
Good looking vehicle,but I've known several people that have had these and they are pieces on poop 💩.
Escape is probably better..
Wow this thing is BORING
Trashhhh. Lol.
Do your OWN MATH . DONOT BIY A CHEVY EQUINOX. NONE OF THEM
