We at Morrie's Onalaska Chevrolet complied some of the most informative Chevrolet Equinox reviews to help you make the best vehicle decision for your needs. Check out what top critics have to say today!
Car and Driver highlights the Equinox’s five-star safety rating from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, as well as its comprehensive range of standard and available safety features. Such features include standard lane keep assist, standard automatic emergency braking, and available adaptive cruise control.
Kelley Blue Book mentions the safety alert seat found exclusively on the Premier trim: “With a vibrating seat cushion, it warns drivers of approaching hazards. Something coming from the left would set off the left side of the seat and vice versa.”
How well does the 2023 Chevy Equinox perform on roads in Onalaska and the surrounding areas? According to the team at Kelley Blue Book, exceedingly well:
“There are really no complaints at all regarding how the Chevy Equinox drives. Everything works the way it should, even if the engine is never going to blow off many socks. And wisely, the suspension is tuned for day-to-day comfort instead of the occasional back-road blast. Maximum towing ability is 3,500 pounds.”
Car and Driver has similar things to say about the Equinox’ engine and performance:
“The engine makes 175 horsepower, and when paired with the optional (and heavier) all-wheel-drive system (front-wheel drive is standard), it takes a heavy foot to hustle the Equinox up to highway speeds…agreeable and easy to drive, the Equinox handles competently, and its steering is accurate and direct. The ride can be harsh at times, particularly with the optional 19-inch wheels (17s are standard), and rougher stretches of road transmit some unpleasantness into the cabin. “
What about interior amenities? Car and Driver touches on this model’s connectivity features:
“A 7.0-inch touchscreen (an 8.0-inch unit is optional) displays Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment interface atop the Equinox’s dash; the system continues to impress with its ease of use and quick responses. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and an auxiliary input jack. Standard 4G LTE onboard Wi-Fi makes the Equinox one of the best-connected crossovers.”
Critics at MotorTrend are not fans of the Chevy Equinox’s cargo space, but otherwise applaud its dimensions:
“Compared to two of the most popular vehicles in the segment, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, the Equinox’s passenger space is competitive with acceptable front legroom and a generous rear seat.”
