Did you buy one? Do you like it? I'm interested in buying one. Good review, I agree. These guys don't throw in the brand bias that many snob reviewers do lately.
Wow, that was awesome! You really covered all bases, even a tour of the glove box and sun visors, plus the graphics and fades were very professional-looking.
LT2 also has remote start. I just rented one. You can also get the 8" infotainment screen in the LT. You can also order the Premier with 18" wheels, for those of us who don't want to buy a new set of tires every 10,000 miles.
This is definetly the most bang for your buck. You can get a loaded premier FWD with the 1.5 for $38,000 MSRP. Rav4 has a $48,000 msrp for a loaded one and you still dont get as much. Chevy did a great job!
Check clearance prices now in July. The prices are rock bottom. You can get a $34K AWD for 26K. That has sunroof and nav system and bigger display. No one will ever pay MSRP with Chevy, usually at least 5 grand off that any time of year.
Just because people like that shouldn't have kids doesn't mean that thia feature shouldn't exist. On Average every year 37 kids die by being left in hot cars. Should we seriously just shit on 37 innocent deaths a year that could be easily avoided?
What about your clothes or gym bag? Maybe some paperwork or a suitcase or lap top you put back there. Don’t forget your stuffed animal giraffe 🦒. Doesn’t have to be for kids is all I’m saying lol.
Still one of the best info video out there. They spoke very clear know their stuff and stuck to the point of the car and it’s features and options. Good job.
I just purchased the LT 1.5. It has remote start and the universal remotes. The LT 1.5 is nicely equipped. Only lacking leather, AC seats, moon roof, 8” infotainment, and charging pad. This trim is very nicely equipped.
I have a 2016 Malibu Premier. The entire set up in this Equinox is just about exactly the layout in my Malibu. The only exception seems to be the wireless charger location is a pocket about 5 or 6 inches back from the gear shift on the console in my Malibu, and of course the newer interface of the Infotainment software. Looks wise all the same..which is not a bad thing:)
Compared to the GMC SLT Terrain fully loaded The Equinox gives more bang for the buck. The Ventilated seats are not available in the SLT Terrain. However the 2.0 is definitely worth the upgrade over the 1.5.
You can defeat auto stop by putting the car in L instead of D and set it in 6th gear. It will run like a automatic and the auto stop does not work in L.
105th view and 13th like! I've always wondered about this vehicle. By the time I'm done binging your channel, I don't even need to visit the dealer. Just a test drive.
Thanks Justin Bieber & Zac Effron for this awesome review. :-) I think this is one of the best I've seen on UA-cam. I bought this vehicle yesterday and they're pretty accurate with the review. Great job!
I have a 1.5t with 75k miles... other than the infotainment screen, the car has been problem free and AMAZING mpg's for a car this size. I consistently get 32-35mpgs at 75mph. It's just a fwd LT, but has LOTS of sweet options. Laggy turbo at less than 2200rpms but power builds quickly after that. Premium fuel exhibits the best fuel econ and power. It WILL RUN just fine on regular, but one FEELS the difference with premo go-juice. NOTHING at this base price point, offers so much for relatively small price. It IS the honda fit, of suv's.BEST VALUE.
@@Datlac16 GM knows its customers are largely "get in and go" and dont want to think about stuff like octane ratings... sooo, owners manual CLEARLY states the ability to run on regular but with a reduced power level. "Full Power" and efficiency is only obtained thru the use of premium. Many manufacturers do this. If you CARE about NET #'s, this is obvious. A soccer-mom whos "busy all the time" couldnt give a poop. 2cents added!
@@dudemanbrochief that can’t be good for that engine in the long run… well it is GM at that. I drive GM cars myself and can say I don’t agree with some things they say
The only thing I would change about the Equinox is that I would offer leather on lower trims. There is no reason that you should have to go to the top trim to get leather
that's how most other manufacturers are doing it. On CRV you can only get leather on the EX-L and Touring, not LX or EX. On Forester, you can only get leather on Limited and Touring, not base, premium, or Sport.
Is there a way to update the infotainment system? I got the 2018 premier and I cannot believe how many new technologies they have added. Infotainment responds quicker, nav looks better, and that new 360 camera though!! That's crazy! Plus I don't have adaptive cruise control while this one does. Ugh! I wish I can update my infotainment so I can get the updated 360 camera!
Well, Chevy may eventually offer an upgrade for the software component (they haven't announced anything yet) but they won't be able to update the 360 camera since it's improvement is mostly related to upgraded cameras all around the vehicle. We were also surprised at the number of changes just 1 year in!
I’ve been debating on selling my 12 1500 Silverado LT and buying a 19 Premium Equinox. Many new updates and refinements over the 3 previous years and models. Thanks for the in-depth video. Tim
Suggestion. Car gurus such as yourselves might think about heading to Detroit the third weekend of this month, for the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise. Its an amazing experience.
I was a Cadillac-Chevy-Buick owner for many years until SOMEONE suggested I test a CX-9. I wish Buick sold a 3 row long wheelbase crossover on this platform-something like Mazda is doing with the CX-8 (long wheelbase CX-5, with a third row and a diesel engine option.) I admire Buick for trying to sell a Chinese vehicle instead, but I think its safe to assume those vehicles will depreciate too quickly. Id like to see reviews of Buick Lacrosse and Regal GS when y’all have the opportunity. Enjoyed the review. I expected the Equinox to get better once they started platform sharing with Cadillac CT5.
I have a 2013 Chevy Equinox LT. I bought it used. It still looks brand new. I'm looking to trade it in for an 18 or 19. I'm so glad they put air vents in the back seat of the newer ones. Mine doesn't have any and whoever sits back there melts in the summer. Also, mine is gutless on steep hills. So I would want a turbo possibly. Everything else I love on the 13 and this 19 has it all, plus more.
I have a FWD 2016 Chevy Equinox and live in the North East, I have driven in some pretty terrible weather with many different vehicles and I have to tell you this one is probably the worst I have driven in the snow. I regret not getting the AWD every time I slip and slide down the road. I do have all the safety bells and whistles that should make this a decent winter ride but it is just NOT. I have no axe to grind with GM as I have purchased many but will never get the FWD again in this model again and really can't wait until the lease is up to dump it. Just an FYI, 2 more months of slipping and sliding to go....
The auto stop system is infact defeatable. Put the shifter to low, hit the + to 6 or 9, depending on the transmission, so it will cycle through all gears...and boom, your auto stop is disabled. Comes in handy with misurable stop and go Toronto traffic....
My co-worker has a older gentleman in his life that he calls Pops. They are huge fans of Ohio state football and this vehicle. The big twist is that "Pops" is not related to him, and he totaled this car shortly after getting it...
Enjoy our review of the FULLY-LOADED (and $40,000) 2019 Chevy Equinox Premier! What do you guys think? Also, be sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT below :)
$1K to replace a water pump, because it is driven by the timing chain and it is hard to get to ( you have to remove the coverter and exhaust pipe. That is just the tip of the iceberg. The 6 speed tranny has it s problems.
I’d like to see these upgrades make it to the Traxx. That’s a much more comfortable size for me. The Encore just seems to be overpriced and cheap inside. Wondering where the XT4 will fall. Actual dimensions aside, this Equinox just looks too big for my taste. Good comprehensive review guys.
Thanks a lot ☹️ I just called my dealer and told him instead of the 2018 LT I want a 2019 Premiere after watching this video, do you sell cars for a living 🤔
It's a good car and all (I have a 2018 Cruze and I believe this is a bit better) but did somebody else hear the fob pingging when doing the remote start?
Just purchased a 2019 equinox in December 60 days later with 2800 miles the turbo froze. Sounds like a common problem in cold weather. The shop had several in with mine
They missed an important conversation of the start stop system. For instance if you were stuck in traffic let’s say in Los Angeles in the summer how well does that air-conditioner hold up. Or if you’re out in the desert let’s say somewhere in Arizona the same thing.You can be stuck in traffic for a half hour up to an hour at times bumper-to-bumper. I’m saying not moving at all.
Kens616.. I hear you big times. The only way the AC works is with the engine running. The AC compressor works only when the engine is running. The Blow/Fan is connected to the battery, the fan turns off when you turn the car/truck off or turn the switch off. If you live in Arizona like I do and it's 100 or hotter and stuck in traffic and you have NO A/C cause of the Stop Start system, it's going to be nasty. I have rented a couple of cars with Stop Start and I had come to a stop light and the engine turned off and so did the A/C and it was in the 90's, and it was getting hot in the car.
Enjoy your vids but they seem to always skew to the positive attributes of the vehicles for the most part. Would like to hear more balance to include negative observations of quality, comfort or drive.
Thanks! We generally try to focus on the factual information and let people come to their own conclusions (that's the idea behind it) but we totally get where you are coming from. Instead of saying something outright negative, we generally offer some kind of comparison to its top rivals (like the safety system situation for the Equinox). Thanks for the feedback!
Next time when talking about the nav radio and my touch screen don’t stop moving your hand so much it’s distracting and makes one feel I’m on an airplane and the flight attendant is showing where the exits are. Otherwise excellent info video
Purchased a chevy Equinox in February 2019. It has 1,144 miles on it. Died in the middle of traffic over Memorial Day weekend. Engine/Transmission malfunction. Dealership duct taped the broken part which is on indefinite backorder. They refused me a loaner and sent me on my way. Still not functional nor safe. At second shop. It’s a known problem with no fix in sight. Still no resolution........ 1,144 miles. Brand. New. Car.
Misty Keels you can sue they sold you Lemmon car, that is money pit. I have got same problem like you wit Brand new KIA SOUL 2012, 3 times shut off the engine on the high way. I almost change part fix for everything nothing fix, the mechanic can not found the problem that is money pit i got 13,000 miles, ended sold and the dealer only gave $ 7,200.
@@kingm1156 Totally agree,, I myself went 9 Dealers prior to my purchasing my last new car, which was just April 2018. Walked out on 8 Salesmen. My Dad taught me a great deal. Have a great Day!
You can get remote start on the LT but through the CONFIDENCE & CONVENIENCE PACKAGE. The LT we reviewed last year had that package. Sorry about that -- we meant to add that as a text box in the video!
I was test-driving a used 2016 model today. I was approaching to the red light, and a truck ahead of me, that had stopped. I pushed the break to stop. My speed was (may be 10 KM/h). the car decided to accelerate on its own instead of stopping. I pushed the break even harder, but the car did not stop. and hit the truck ahead. I GOOGLE-d this acceleration issue with Equinox, and I found other drivers reporting it too.
Watch the video by savage geese about the Equinox. He talks about the poor construction and says they are horrible unreliable vehicles that will require very pricey repairs a money pit. He is not alone. Many auto repairman say to avoid at all costs. Car Wizard is another who says do not buy you will be sorry.
Seems like you would be doing this A LOT on a regular day of driving in a city. I've noticed on these types of start/stop that you can often trick it by not pressing too hard on the pedal. We've played around with it on the new Buick Encore we have.
Gave up on chevy awhile ago. After what I went through and am still going through with the shit transmission they put into the 2010 models chevy will never make another dollar off me
I'm reading there are big issues with transmission reliability with this vehicle. Also that chevrolet is not standing behind their product when customers are bringing the lemons in.

That kills me, lol. A rear seat reminder. I am sorry but if you can't remember your kids in the car, you don't deserve to be a parent.
I agree. Chevy needs to get rid of this program. If one needs a reminder that there's a child in the back seat, one is incredibly UNFIT to be a parent
Just because people like that shouldn't have kids doesn't mean that thia feature shouldn't exist. On Average every year 37 kids die by being left in hot cars. Should we seriously just shit on 37 innocent deaths a year that could be easily avoided?
Maybe so, but since children continue to die every year in hot cars, it's a feature that can only be beneficial.
You can turn it off on the settings

Haha no, we just make videos to inform customers about all different types of vehicles!
There is such a huge difference between the car you get in an LS 1.5 and a Premier 2.0 that you can’t even consider them the same car.
We just bought an LT. Frankly for the savings over the 19 model I see no difference at all except the trim & headlights.
Congrats! And yeah most of the 2019 changes were focused on the Premier so you made a wise move
Chevrolet needs to add a trim level between LT and Premier. You shouldn't have to go all the way up to the top trim just for leather seats.
LT has an option for leather seats.
1.5T still have turbo issues

Why do the lights flicker like that ?
It's an effect caused by the cameras frame rate and the cars lights syncing up

I don't get difference with blazer
Its diesel??
I’m here bc I saw this in pawn stars 🤣😳
Beautiful, but I cant afford that hahahahaha
How roomy is the back seats
That information is towards the end of the video if you didn't make it that far
Where is it made for USA mexico or canada
Some are made in Canada and others are made in Mexico. Thanks for watching!
I thought the LT had remote start. In 2018 they did.
You can get remote start on the LT but through the CONFIDENCE & CONVENIENCE PACKAGE. The LT we reviewed last year had that package. Sorry about that -- we meant to add that as a text box in the video!
Car Confections oh ok that makes sense
It does I got it on my 18
My LT has remote start
I was test-driving a used 2016 model today. I was approaching to the red light, and a truck ahead of me, that had stopped. I pushed the break to stop. My speed was (may be 10 KM/h). the car decided to accelerate on its own instead of stopping. I pushed the break even harder, but the car did not stop. and hit the truck ahead. I GOOGLE-d this acceleration issue with Equinox, and I found other drivers reporting it too.
What did you tell the dealer where you test drove it?
Lisa G I reported to the collision centre exactly as it happened (in my description of even. The dealer salesman was with me in the car)
Does the high end still require premium fuel
It is recommended on the 2.0L engine but not required
Watch the video by savage geese about the Equinox. He talks about the poor construction and says they are horrible unreliable vehicles that will require very pricey repairs a money pit. He is not alone. Many auto repairman say to avoid at all costs. Car Wizard is another who says do not buy you will be sorry.
How did you get the lights next to the headlights to strobe?
Thats and effect caused by the cameras refresh rate matching with the headlights refresh rate. So unfortunately it was not actually happening!
@@CarConfections I know! Thanks
This look like the traverse
The auto start/stop is defeatable. Just put it in low & shift manually.
Seems like you would be doing this A LOT on a regular day of driving in a city. I've noticed on these types of start/stop that you can often trick it by not pressing too hard on the pedal. We've played around with it on the new Buick Encore we have.
Gave up on chevy awhile ago. After what I went through and am still going through with the shit transmission they put into the 2010 models chevy will never make another dollar off me
yeah same here, had a 2011 Cruze and that thing was a POS. Used to be a diehard Chevy fan but now I’m a mopar fan lol
I have 2014 cruze. Last 2 yrs put about 4k into keeping it running. Chevy is very low on my want list. But I commend u guys on your great reviews
Is this in Canada ??
No Kentucky, USA
Ok cool
I'm reading there are big issues with transmission reliability with this vehicle. Also that chevrolet is not standing behind their product when customers are bringing the lemons in.
Not sure what you mean by fan boy garbage but here's what some owners have to say.

THE BUTTONS LOOKS LIKE KITCHEN BUTTONS
where is the cd player? nice car but its a NO without a cd player!!
Naturally E Who still uses CDs?? Lol
Most people dobt use CD... They have satellite radio or stream from their phone or pandora
I still use my CD's but they think everyone uses their phones... I prefer hard copy of my music and movies.
All are Turbos ... I don't like that ... more things to heat up and go wrong ... might be a deal-killer for me.
我家是18款，就是内饰用料太差
i would buy one if it did not have that STUPID STOP AND START ON IT WITH NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF !!!!!
Great suv... get the 2.0 turbo.
Premium fuel the 2.0 sucks though. There are many 2.0 turbos that dont need premium
Can use regular. They recommend! Going to trade in for BMW. Cheap interior ....not as great as I thought.
How about a lock on the glove box oh thats a 1000 doller option
I don't see any Kia reviews, but Hyundai. Why is that?
We don't work with Kia yet but we hopefully will sometime this year!
@@CarConfections good. You give good reviews and don't talk so fast that information is missed. Thanks.
@@rett1015 I was considering buying this chevy or a kia sorrento. Whats wrong with the kia engines?
@@rett1015 GM recalls are worst than KIA engines
