  • Motor1 Senior Editor Jake Holmes gives Chevy’s all new equinox the Why Buy? treatment to see if it has what it takes to compete in the competitive midsize-crossover space.
    For more Chevy Equinox: www.motor1.com/chevrolet/equinox/
    As-tested price: $33,975
    Chevrolet is going to great lengths to reduce the weight of its new vehicles, and the 2018 Equinox is the latest model to emerge from the crash-diet regimen. Shorter in length and height, the new Equinox is as much as 400 pounds lighter than before. That allowed Chevrolet to ditch the dated 2.4-liter base engine and 3.6-liter V6 in favor of thrifty new turbo mills.
    Cargo space has suffered as a result of downsizing, and we’re still split on whether or not we like the sharper new sheetmetal on this Equinox. But improved fuel economy, a more stylish interior, and new equipment help the Chevy present a strong argument in an increasingly competitive class of crossovers.
    The Equinox is currently Chevrolet’s second best-selling model, after the Silverado pickup truck, and one of America’s most popular crossovers. Watch our latest Why Buy? to see whether the all-new Equinox has what it takes to stay out front of the crowd.
    SPECIFICATIONS:
    Engine: 1.5L Turbocharged I4
    Output: 170 Horsepower / 203 Pound-Feet
    Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic
    EPA Fuel Economy: 21 City / 32 Highway / 28 Combined

    The dealership gave me this SUV while my car was getting worked on. Now after two weeks without it I'll be going back to buying one. I love the new equinox

    I just bought to the new 18 Equinox, it is awesome. It is dead quiet inside the interior and doesn't sound like a dying cat when you step on the accelerator.

    opinion: 24 mpg in the city? Best I ever got being very conservative in my driving was 18.5 mpg on the 1.5 engine.
    Still better than my 2005 mercury sable wagon that got 11mph

    I think that the underfloor storage bin could be pretty useful with organizing grocery bags, to keep them from rolling around. So while it may have less cargo space, what it has seems somewhat more useful than a CUV with just a large floor.

    That side rear window is odd. Seems backwards. Possibly a polarizing look along with that floating roofline ,change for the sake of change?

      Tyler Copeland they are adjusting their lineup. I suspect we'll see another CUV introduced above the Equinox but below the Traverse (which has become larger).

    base model Acura RDX is same price, has most of the features as standard and drives much better. chevy needs to learn to price their shit properly

    • @normt5463
      @normt5463 6 років тому +1

      The Equinox is $8,000 MSRP for the 2.0T. The RDX both have similar performance according to Motor Trend but the Equinox 2.0T AND with 9-speed should see better than our 2016 Envision 2.0T 32.5 mpg with 6-speeds.

      @@me-it9jn that's true. An equinox at 34,500 will usually sell for $28k and has a lot of features including panoramic sunroof and navigation.

      Phrancis5 oh yeah! But crv is very noisy from tires,wind and other cars passing,I like the crv but I think honda needs to do something with this important issues,American cars probably less reliables,but the comfort on chevy s and dodges are really good.

      Best 12 month launch is the 2018 Equinox according to Truedelta. Sales back it up with best in segment, even selling more than CR-V and RAV4 for 2018.

      You do know that every brand out there has owners gripping about it. Just go to an owners forum for Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, etc.
