Between the new Forester and this, both with underpowered engines, which do you think has overall quieter and more comfortable ride on the highway, and which one is noisier under hard acceleration?
I like it over the Rav4. Chevy finally updated the design and tech now Toyotas behind. The Toyota tax plus the fact you can never find one would lead me to get this. My only issue is that there's no hybrid option.
You want new tech over reliability? Gotcha. Those Eco tech Chevy engines are garbage... But hey you will look nice in it while waiting for a tow truck.xd
@1976axerhand I prioritize what I want in spending my money. My 20 year old chevy Malibu is still running fine, so I'll go based on my experiences, not what ifs. Toyota has fallen out of grace recently like with the 100,000 complete engine replacement in the tundra and lexus suvs, plus the new Tacoma having rear axel issues. They aren't infallible Gods. The 90s are over. Even if you calculate repairs outside of the standard warranty, that will not surpass what you pay with the Toyota tax plus the discount you will get on the hood of the Chevrolet.
To add to the Toyota tax, good luck haggling for a good price for one. Those guys dont budge when they know theyll sell hundreds of the things that month alone.
I think you might be referring to the Chevy Trax, which is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Chevrolet. It offers a blend of practicality, fuel efficiency, and modern features, making it a popular choice for urban driving.
The 1.5l is crap for power. Even with the 8 speed trans. Its still gets less mpg than previous gen with 6 speed trans and is heavier. Just get a lower trim blazer. A cvt transmission is a joke.
Get a Honda or Toyota instead, at least those won’t fall apart and depreciate quickly, the build quality in those will be far better too when compared to this, only thing this new Equinox has going for it is the large touchscreen
@6:31 like the dash no big I -PAD glued to the dash , as with most off road like ,trim models 12:37 does it need a moon roof ? when one has a roof top tent or rack cant see any thing ,like the cargo 6' floor length. I can sleep and camp out of it, good review
The Rav4 and Honda C-RV have very generic interiors and not as many options as the 2025 Chevy Equinox RS. After 6 months of looking, I purchased a Loaded 2025 Chevy Equinox RS AWD for my daughter: Best Overall Vehicle in its Class.
Look at the horrible fit and finish of the center console at 13:45. The panel gaps and misalignment on the right side is disappointing. That wouldn't happen in a Toyota or Honda.

I like how 2025 Chevrolet Equinox looks like they done excellent job

Agree Chev Equinox tech , upgrade is better then OLD Rav ( rip off). Rav4 is expensive with old tech and ugly.

@@dtay8913 old Chevies are great new ones are crap, my friend has a 23 trailblazer at 14k miles it is already burning oil.....

I love this interior over the LT and RS. I would switch out the tires for something more sleek.
Image the fact that a prius makes more power.

You mean the 3 cylinder lifted sedan...
Why these cars look so cool at first sight but after a couple years they’re ugly as heck?
You can change every 2 or 3 years🙄🙄🙄
I love your walkthroughs. Thank you so much guys! 😊
Our pleasure! 😁
Me encanta, estoy esperando que lleguen a Colombia
doesn't look bad. but people don't really buy toyota for their style, they buy toyota because they want something reliable.
Que lleguen a Colombia lo mas pronto😊
Excellent review as per usual!

Great review

Is the 1.5T engine reliable?
I have a Malibu 2017 LT and a Equinox 2019 and I never had any issues.
@@carlosovni7100 Thanks!
Mason, what if we Absolutely Never want a "Hybrid"? ... and not "disappointed".

Considering a ‘25 Equinox RS fully loaded, how do I find an invoice price?
It just seems like typical stupid GM to put all that gloss black in the front where you get most of the scratches and will look very ugly in one year.
I love this car. I'm definitely getting 2025 activ trim equinox
Drew, Mason > this is the one I like - I dig it a lot, plus the color is cool. great report per usual.
Much appreciated!
Rav 4 is garbage
This being compared with the RAV4 is Apples to Oranges.
$39k??? Mazda levels of audacity 😂 hybridized versions CRV, Sportage, RAV4, Tucson costs less!!
23:58 the uneven turn signal sound in the new gm products drives me insane
$25k vehicle
Comparing a Japanese vehicle to an American vehicle lol.
Wait for the new RAV4

Toyota and Honda materials are just as cheap as Chevy so what’s your point🤨
Yeah, but at least it has rear air vents. The vast majority of Honda’s don’t give you those!
Yup, unfortunately you are right, that level of fit and finish is unacceptable imo
who buys Toyota for looks? people buy Toyota because it starts every time
Should be $32,000 maxed out not starting at $33,000 for the RS or Active. Almost $40,000 for that is crazy. I'll never pay that...Sorry👎🏻👎🏻
No, it’s reasonably priced. You’re just a whiner. Lol
