My wife has had 2 Equinox's (2011 and 2018). Both were great. May need to trade the 2018 in on the 2025.

I like the interior………..exterior looks better on RS. Sometimes just the wheels make a vehicle look so much better. Thanks Joe and Lori………I should have had pancakes for breakfast 🥞 🙂

Love the design but 1.5 engine is not enough in my opinion

The gray and white and red and black paints really work together, both look sharp and interiors are nice!

That thing is loaded. Always been interested in an Equinox but hated the look of the old infotainment system/dash. This is a winner. ♥

Disappointed about the 175hp engine. Why they dont put in the old 2L 4 cylinder that makes 200+hp. I think it is a big mistake.

One of the reasons these offroad trims are so popular - and they sell to urbanites in huge quantities - is the big fat 65 aspect tires. If you think about it, many bay area cities like Oakland where i live are off-road environments due to the prevalence of potholes. Hate the two tone paint, Ghastly. Nice wheels. Very nice interior. A great overall design. These compact SUV's are incredibly popular for a good reason. Practical, and space efficient. Sedans have no chance of coming back when you have so much usable interior space.

I would get the Active trim. Love that front end. Reminds me of Audi Q8's front fascia

This is the first time ever we see the all new Equinox in video, Great job!

I like how GM is giving the customers the big infotainment for all these new vehicles as standard or at least every new models having this nice infotainment collectively.

Looks much better. Things I don't like is the power output and CVT. Only thing I don't like about the exterior styling is the squarish wheel wells. It's going to be much harder to get lower offset wheels in there for people that like doing that, but I don't see very many if any Equinox owners doing that.

Love the improvement, especially in the interior styling and the wheels just set it off. This was indeed a special surprise, Joe!

Since early pictures leaked, this moved to the top of my list! My 2015 Equinox is still going strong with 145,000miles but I'm ready to trade it in with the 2025!!

Looks great inside and out, but they kinda lost me with that 1.5L and CVT for FWD models, CVTs have been riddled with issues across pretty much every manufacturer.

In my household of 5 drivers, we all have equinox’s. 2012, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2024 models all have been great & reliable. Definitely adding a 2025 model year to our fleet already 😂😂😂😂. We are a Detroit 3 family for life, no foreign company will ever have our business

Nice job on the review Joe! I've always liked the Chevrolet brand and was considering an Equinox RS/ACTIV. Great looking SUV! We've had a few Kia Sorento's and the 2022 has slightly given me a nod on me going from a Dodge Durango 2001 (still love the vehicle) was looking maybe getting a lease on a Kia Sportage. But Kia has been charging more and more for their SUV's/Crossovers). Also was wondering on getting a Hybrid vehicle but no really great option of a hybrid out there. Thank you for all your hard work on these reviews! Great Job Joe!

Wow I just leased a 2024 Equinox LT & its really nice, but this one has really stepped up with the new features & new design in the Exterior & Interior. Knowing me im probably gonna just end up getting the LT model again when the time comes cause im not bout to go Off-roading plus I think the LT & RS models look better. Great review Man!!

Looks WAY better than the current model which is no surprise. However, it still likely won’t sell all that well against the competition.

Love the look of this New 2025 Equinox. Inside and out it has such a Premium look about it. Was not crazy about the previous version as far as looks of the vehicle, but this one is incredible all the way around. I’m currently driving a 2919 Tucson, but may be looking to trade her in on this beauty or Hyundai’s New 2025 Santa Fe which may be another segment larger than this Equinox. Either way thanks for the fantastic reviews as always on New and upcoming vehicle’s Raiti!

Thank you for the great review Raiti. I absolutely love the new exterior styling that is more boxy, edgy, and angular; it actually reminds me of some of the previous model year Jeeps. The new dashboards are sharp too. My local Dealer is telling me they won't be available until this coming Fall. I love it overall, but don't care for the new column mounted shifter.

Amazing review Joe.

I told my wife we might try leasing this in the Winter for a change. Got me really excited and I wasn't expected to be!

Looks great inside and out, however that engine is laughably slow. Cant imagine this new bigger heavier gen will be any quicker. Merging and passing ability is a safety issue, if the car doesnt get out of its own way when you put your foot to the floor it’s just an accident waiting to happen…

They need too bring the 2.0 back more power chevy n these little engines now geez 175 hp smh 😂

The Equinox has always been a "Transportation Appliance", as I like to say. But, that all changes for 2025!

I’ve already got my dealer on standby and will be ordering one as soon as I’m able. Been on the edge of my seat for this one for a while!

Donut spare under the rear floor or inflator kit?? Nice video as always, great team effort! Great looking machine. Feels like a mini new Traverse. Hoping this allows GM/Chevrolet to let the next gen Blazer be a true off-roader to compete against the Broncos and 4Runners of the world 🤞

Very nice looking vehicle but I have real concerns about the 1.5 litre engine with a turbo charge. You must be very careful driving with a turbocharged engine

That’s an interesting color. Better than the usual black, white or silver.

6 ай бұрын

That would be really nice of it!

I really like this. Significant upgrade from the previous model year. It kind of improves upon the Trax in every shortcoming that that cool little car had: more power, more room, more comfort, etc. Style is really good inside and out (I prefer the styling of the Equinox EV a bit more, but this is certainly fine & is growing on me). SO many brands are on my do-not-shop list (Hyundai, Kia, ford, VW, Nissan) & some others are too pricey or weird looking (Toyota, Honda)... so this is a REALLY good offering! I am excited to see it when it hits showroom floors later this year.

I have a 2013 Equinox with the 3.6L V6 engine and love it. The only issue I've had with the vehical is the strut that helps hold up the rear tail gate, I had to replace it a few years ago. But that is it. This vehical is fantastic. I want to replace it soon only because I want a new car and when Chevy removed the 3.6L engine option from the Equinox several years ago I was very disappointed. I figured I'd have to go to the Blazer or the Traverse to get the V6 again then Chevy removed it from the Traverse. Call me crazy but I don't want a turbo engine, I feel it's another thing to go wrong. I'm a snow bird and when I have to travel 1400 miles to get from MI to FL, I like to move and the V6 really moves. So, I love the looks of the new Equinox and the Traverse but you may have lost a customer because of the engine selections.

This thing looks great! Lovely interior. I just want more power

I love the redesign. All comes down to pricing now.

If I had the guess the LT will start in the low 30s and the Activ and RS will start in the mid-high 30s including destination with the fully loaded/optioned AWD versions coming in slightly under $45k including destination. I would want all the options except the pano roof.

I know that Chevrolet knows about more electrical vehicles after the new year has passed and than this is now while we were in the year of 2024 and now we have a 2025 chevy equinox!

I'm a big fan of your videos. Just to correct the statement on the camera attached to the grill. That is the 360 or HD they call in the commercials vision camera used during parking. The Fwd facing camera in the one in front the interior back mirror.

It definitely looks better than the previous generation.

it is quite the facelift for the Equinox no doubt. As much as I'm waiting on the EV version this one has me looking for sure. I currently have the 22 RS version so this is a whole new look and style and I'm digging it for sure. Just not 100% on the electronic column shift concept as that is also the same as the EV version. But time will tell and it's interesting they went with the CVT which I hope the techs with GM/Chevy really did their homework and make this option more appealing. As I've never been a fan of that one. But the AWD model has an actual transmission. This could be interesting!

That RS model is sweet. Especially that red and black nice.

So happy I waited to buy the new Trax. I wanted something a little larger then the Trax. Love the redo Exquinox, hope they don't have production issue like the new Trax. Miss the days of walking on the lot and purchasing a new vehicle.

This could be my next suv. I definitely will be using my employee discount.

Hey Joe, Ive been waiting for the introduction of the 2025 ICE Equinox. I'm a current owner of a 2019 Equinox which I love and you may recall I'm definitely a Chevy Fan Boy!. Chevy has certainly upped their game with the new Equinox, i love the new look inside and out. Are there more soft touch materiials on the upper doors? My only concern is why not more power or an optional hybrid powertrain? The Traverse gets the 2.5 Turbo with almost 330 hp why doesnt the Nox get the 2.0 Turbo as an optional powertrain? Joe you do fantastic reviews and i may be your biggest fan but I think this review was extra special.

Disappointed with the CVT and not a big fan of the 2-tone colors (white top, A pillars, and mirror caps) - it looks as though GM had extra parts available and simply slapped them together. Perhaps others will like it? So many great features on the 2024 Trax compared to this vehicle at a better price (yes, smaller). To me, the Trailblazer is somewhat stuck in a dead zone for Chevrolet now. Great review and as always, appreciate your efforts!
