Review: The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Is More Popular Than You Probably Realize

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is the oldest and lowest-priced compact SUV and also GM's best selling vehicle that's not a pickup truck.

I shopped for a new SUV and eliminated 2 items. One was a CVT transmission, and the other was a 3 cylinder. My wife had a CR-V and we couldn't have a conversation at highway speed due to engine noise. I drove the Equinox and to me it was a no brainer. It checked all my boxes and I purchased an LT FWD for under $30, 000.00.It's mosaic black with a grey interior, and I love it. I looked at the Jeep Compass and Cherokee and their prices are insane. With basically the same equipment, you're talking at least $5000.00 more. Insanity. No wonder their lots are full of product.

One thing about the Equinox that usually gets missed in reviews in addition to the great handling is that it has much more torque than the competition. The engine/drive train setup I feel can’t be beat. It is smooth, quiet, pulls like a diesel, and gets great fuel economy. While driving the Equinox with 4 adults in it on a road trip it’s as if the tach and speedometer needle are stuck in place. The torque just pulls the vehicle at highway speed over any hill without revving the engine or downshifting. It makes for an enjoyable drive which can’t be said about the competition.

I have owned 3 chev Equinoxes since 2018. Great ride. 2021 Red line edition. 2 1/2 yrs later the electric control module went bad. (ECM) I had to global restart it. The dealership service dept said there was nothing wrong. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it and got out of my lease. In Aug I leased a 2024. Best veh I have ever driven. I absolutely love this veh. Plenty of power. Smooth ride. Quiet cabin. Can fully extend my legs at 6’1”. I will forever be an equinox driver. Thank you Chevrolet. Thumbs up.

I have a 2019 LT with AWD with the 1.5L turbo. I've gotten as high as 38mpg on the highway. Over the four years I've had the car I kept track of all my gas and mileage (old school, in a notebook) and have AVERAGED 33.8 mpg, that's city highway summer winter. I LOVE the car.

It still gets the job done and that's what matters for a lot of people, and it really is a nice looking ride still.

I'd rather have the 6 speed than the CVT.

Interesting thing is that China offers 2.0L engine with 237 hp awd 9 gears but less than 30k usd

Biggest problem with them is that hand grenade Ecotech engine.

Even back in 67 Camaro days rs was always an appearance package SS was the performance

It's great little SUV at good price. I do not care for futuristic look on inside. If it's new and works well I am good. All the complaints are pointless. Toyota just started doing updates on their lines after 10 years an everyone was still buying them. They did not care about a futuristic look on inside. If you someone that is rough on vehicles this is not for you.

its a nice looking car, just needs more power

[johncipolletti]

Wow, I am old and still remember the days a vehicle had style and class. Today, I look at this one and see an ugly brick! Tastes have so badly changed in 50 years!

For a 2024, it looks nearly identical to one’s sold in 2018. GM being cheap as always

Horrible vehicle! Noisy, cheap interior, high road noise, thankfully it was only rented for two days.
