He covered everything in detail and easy to understand. I wish all sales person do great job like he does.
Thank you!
excellent upgrade for the Equinox it was about time that looks damn stylish and ready to roll
Chevy has done an awesome job.
Definitely 👍🏽
An important aspect of the AWD capability on the new Equinox is that it must be physically turned on by pressing the button in front of the gear shifter each time you want to drive in AWD mode. It is not on automatically. If it is on, it will shut off each time the vehicle is turned off with each key cycle. Just an FYI. That little bit of control will hopefully help achieve slightly better fuel economy.

I like that description of them
one of the best reviews I have watched..
Thanks!!
To Ramon, I have 112,000 miles on my Saturn Vue . Haven't seen any change in performance since it was new. I did have to have the transmission rebuilt (6 speed auto) because it had a defective Wave plate, whatever that is . It was covered under warranty. A $4000 job. I had 110,000 miles on the car when that happened.
The critical omissions are a centre rear headrest in this vehicle and a centre pass through (for long and narrow objects). The one thing I don't like is that the infotainment screen is angled in a position that it really causes glare during daylight hours.
Great work , awesome Chevrolet !!
Thank you!!
They did a good job of redesigning the car
Sadly I believe in the 2018 models they have taken one step back, taking away a very important and safety driven feature in the OnStar modules...."Please know that many changes have been made to our white dot button feature. Within our 2018 model year vehicles, you are no longer able to store routes, store phone numbers, and other changes have also been made. We apologize if this has caused you any inconvenience. If you have additional questions, please let us know.Best,

OnStar Customer Care" I have been told these features (which were previously available on the earlier versions of OnStar) were removed in order to add the SHOP icon.
i almost bought one yesterday but when i test drove it, it was super slow, the 1.5T needs a tune
We just got one, love it!
Great job on this review. I like how you cover everything at a relatively fast pace. The 2018 Equinox is definitely a looker. And I'm sure you're just as excited about the upcoming snow storm as I am! Haha
Thanks, I try my best! Haha, I am! We got everything ready, snowblower, snow chains, generator, two snow ready machines, bring it on!!
Great review, man! The 2018 Equinox sure has stepped its game up quite a bit for this model year! The interior seems very high quality, and the new exterior styling makes other vehicles in its class look plain and mundane! Competitiors better waych out because the new Equinox is here to change the depiction of a compact utility vehicle! Keep it up! 👍😉
I cannot wait until I can get to review a Equinox in the coming weeks, too! 😃 Go ThatGearHead!

"The Quest To Record The Best!"
Thanks! I definitely think so too! It's SO much better than the previous model! Excited for that 2.0 Turbo and the Diesel too!
😍🤦🏽♀️ excuse me while I faint 🤦🏽♀️ equinox I perfect on all levels! I have to get that one!
How can you make a video with the dirty car
Nice and thorough! Thanks! Question: How does it feel with the stop-start system when the engine cuts off at the stop sign and then starts up again when you go? Is it annoying, or is it smooth and not noticeable?
Lynn you dont even feel it or notice unless your paying attention to it. if your going about your day you'll be fine
Thanks! You don't really notice when you're not looking out for it, but at first, it might be a little weird to have it shut off on you.
Great review, just bought one last week
I'm looking into buying one next real talk that's beautiful I love heart beat of America Chevy
Missed the most important part. How was the ride? Any car rides smooth on smooth roads. How about rough roads? Interior come and go How does it ride. For your information it rides rough and noisy. That's my everyday ride.
NICE NICE NICE CROSSOVER SUV
Premier? What happened to LTZ? I guess the name of the highest trim levels of the new Chevys have been replaced.
It has, yep, all LTZ's are Premier's now
I have seen one video that showed the guy with the key fob. And when he pressed the button you could hear a chime sound coming from it. But in this video there is no sound. What is the reason? Is that an option?
Some cameras/microphones may have interference with remotes. You can't hear it in person though.
You might be able to enable or disable chime
Can you provide link to video?
Good job Chevy! (I HATE FORDS) I love Chevy

I wonder how many people realize these engines now require Premium Fuel? That is a big expense and I believe sales will suffer. I cancelled my order when I found this out
Thank you for this one
It's about time that chevy finally updated the equinox. It was getting so dated and boring
Definitely
When I visited the Chevy website to build one of these it only gave me the 1.5t engine, is it because the 2.0t isn't out yet?
Yep. The 2.0 isn't out yet
ThatGearHead okay I'd want the 2.0t so guess I have to wait.
Very cool vid and nice car
Price $$$
Nice video!
Could you send me about 18/19-size tire information?
Does the 2.0 turbo engine require premium fuel?
It does, yes.
And were are you getting this information from? Why would the 2.0L Turbo be any different then the 1.5L Turbo on type of gas used?
The 2.0 runs on a different platform than the 1.5. The 2.0 is tuned for more power, thus, requiring premium for it's max potential. If you use regular, it wouldn't run at the same level of performance as premium. Why would I be scamming someone for premium for no reason? I don't sell cars, or gas...
Thanks for the information, Looks like a great update for the Equinox, I just wish it had a sub or speakers in the back like others do, other than that its got it all.
No problem, I'm really impressed with what they did with it.
Wats doing with the passengers side is it power or menul
Nice job!
Thanks!!
I want this car now haha
What with the 1980s synth music?
No wonder why they was selling the other model so cheap Dame
Is there a trailer hitch option for my bike rack?
There absolutely is. Just either go into the parts department at your Dealership, or call them, and they'll take care of you.
It sounds very weird when you start it up and review the engine lol but it looks nice the previous body style was ugly, cheap, soccer mom-ish
The 2.0T is much better but the 1.5 does its job...
I want one 💙
Didn't think of washing it first
Wouldn't make a difference...
If I pointed it out then it do to me
Why does it matter to you so much...?
I like clean cars that's why
So if you like clean cars, why don't you just see it in person... this is only a video...
Does it have a CD player?
Sadly, it does not. Most car makers are phasing out CD players. Bad news for me since I have over 700 CDs. However, there is an auxiliary jack in the front cubby bin where you can connect a personal CD player with a patch cord.
How can a "review" not even go out on the road?????
this is the first equinox review I saw for the 18' models year...on a side note, google has become unreasonably annoying with resetting ur password. If I wanna reuse an old password, SO WHAT!!!!!!! A frickin ATM pin has 4 #s, and there's access to all of any given savings or checking account fund...y tha heck would u require an EIGHT character password for a silly social site?????
I want a V6!!!
Ralph Hitchens Jr. trust me not from GM. they have this really bad timing chain problem with their v6 models I've replaced them twice now my check engine light wont turn off. chevy makes good four cylinder engines and good v8's but they should give up on v6 its been a problem since 2005
I have a 3.6 V6 in my 2009 Saturn Vue. Basicly the same engine in the Camaro and the GMC Canyon and Chevy version light pickups. Never had a problem and runs great. Plenty of power.
Ralph Hitchens Jr. thats a miracle that you havent had chain problems with that vue or canyon!
I have 112,000 miles on this engine. I have seen no change in performance since she was new. I did however had to get the transmission (6 speed auto) rebuilt. Had a defective Wave plate, whatever that is , and that was covered under warranty. $4,000 dollar job.
Ralph Hitchens Jr. i havent had any transmission problems with mine either but engine problems keep coming i maintain my cars myself and the 3.6 is the biggest pain in the ass i alwayd change oil to avoid the timing chain issues but they still stretched. i try and avoid stepping heavy on the peddle
I won't be buying a vehicle with a 4 cylinder I do a lot of highway driving
when can you order one
They're at dealerships now
In Milwaukee Wisconsin
Can the 2.0 turbo run on Reg. Gas
No, It wouldn't run well.
And were are you getting this information from? Why would the 2.0L Turbo be any different then the 1.5L Turbo on type of gas used?
Our dealership themselves..
It can pull the timing back if needed, you'll just loose power- if It indeed needs super don't drive across the boarder as Mexican fuel is 80 octane in places
Yes, 87 octane works fine in our Envision 2.0T
Wonder if Chevy copied the Nissan Murano.
Looks nothing like it
before you show vehicles, please clean vehicles first. just a thought
They're not my vehicles. Our guys in the wash bay are way to busy to properly clean up a car that's not even sold. It would be wrong of me. Plus, I don't see a difference in it being spotless or not.
Premium fuel kills it for me. Love the car otherwise
anybody else get as annoyed as I do when I see people get their damn foot crud all over the speaker grills on the doors?
I see it all the time, it's like people kick the door open to get out, I don't get it at all!
Good review but engine sounds like mosquitoes!
Haha, thanks!
bad news big car small engine, engine will blow close to I bet 60,000 mile ,
because turbo heat up the engine , big scam
Chevrolet has to have some of the ugliest interiors going. Who thought up these ugly 2-tone interiors. Ford does those 2-tone deals a lot, as well and they just don't click with me. And 1.5 liter engines are just way too small. Start at least with a 2.0T, and offer a V-6.
Great review , but Mazda/ Honda / Toyota over this junk.
HA
Fuck your tuner cars. Little rice burning POS's with no elegance or class. Cheap wastes of money.
I'm flabbergasted!! ALL manufacturers need to take some lessons from FORD KIA AND HYUNDAI!!!! Tell why all these changes are made and they stop short of an updated door/ignition/head lamp chime update??!! FORD KIA AND HYUNDAI have even moved beyond the 30yr old plus chimes that are sooooooooooo dated!!!!! all u manufacturers that have fallen behind may as well return to the 1970's vintage style annoying buzzers!!! sad!! and pathetic!! GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE!! WTF!!??
a t I don't really think that anyone would notice such things.
Really? You are that upset over a door chime??
lol you're heated over a door chime?
lol
Are you serious?? You are mad about a door chime
