What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Chevrolet Equinox
"engine is garbage"
"The 2025 Equinox uses the same engine from the previous generation. The engine has the lowest horsepower and poorest fuel economy in the small SUV class."
"safety & comfort"
"Bought the equinox 4 months ago and am so happy I did. Above my expectations."
"Whodda thunk it"
"I traded a cadillac ct4v at the end of January for a 25 Equinox activ AWD. The redesign is what made me.do it. Living in cleveland, the all terrain tires and the awd system totally awesome. The only features i lost in the trade was massage seats, and HUD. which i really never got used to in the Caddy. The seats in the Activ are both visually appealling along with being extremely comfortable. The ride is very nice. Where the Caddy had a spirited sport style ride, rhe Activ had a very smooth ride. My biggest complaint? The sound system. However, swapping out the door speakers within 3 days of taking delivery, the result is near Bose quality sound. Many reviews complain about the engine, again coming off a car thay had 325 horsepower there was/is a dip in HP. The result, not a big deal. Getting on the highway isnt an issue, there is plenty of power to get up to speed and to maintain it. Overall, the exterior and interior won me over to even test drive, let alone buy one, because prior to 2025 i thought Equinox's were ugly and i would have never owned one. Currently i have 3460 trouble free miles, and i enjoy every time i drive it"
