I have a 2019 LT AWD with the 1.5L and have just under 3000 miles on the car. Since the day I bought it I've kept track of all the fuel I've put into it and have averaged 35.5mpg, with most of that NOT on the highway. This past weekend we went on a road trip and with the cruise set on 60mph, we got 38.1. I couldn't be happier. My previous vehicle was a 2011 Equinox, which I bought new, and we're liking this new one even more.

it looks more like a mid cycle refresh and not a total redesign.... having said that i like it

This is gonna be my first car 2021 is coming fast!!

This is why I am subscribed to you. I know all the new cars coming out because of you. Thanks.

E-quinox, not Ek-quinox!

I'm glad Chevy decided to put a Diesel in the Equinox

I met someone who bought a new Chevy Equinox and he said it's just one big bucket of rattles. I was amazed that a brand new car can have that many rattles. That was about 10 years ago now though, hopefully they fixed it since then.

Wtf we haven't even gotten through 2016 calm down Chevy

Smaller means less cargo capacity, no diesel for me, I love the Equinox just the way it is....

I'm sure the diesel will come with a premium price tag, and higher level of trim, and they won't make that many of them. They'll sell a few, but it won't be a success in the US, and they will eventually drop the engine citing lack of sales. Isn't that the way it always goes with US company diesel offerings?

Great Information Roman...I think that this is much needed redesign.

GM when you bringing the Trailblazer back to the USA?

Way to go! Bandwagoners! Ever since Ford came out with the EcoBoost, everybody else is coming out with "their own" EcoBoost.

I say Equinox (long E) but it is a great vehicle! (:

my lease on my cruze will be up right when it comes out in the spring

I like SUV's they're Comfy and easy to drive.

I like the new Chevy Equinox, there are still a few design elements from the older version of the Equinox that are still used in the new design but that was probably because those design cues worked so well in the older version that GM decided to evolve those details into the new Equinox. Overall, I like the new design of the SUV which I call a "Toyota-styled mainstream design" look--not polarizing, not boring, just right. I also like the interior as it now looks much more grownup and doesn't have that cheap econobox look that the old Equinox interior had. For the past several years, the Equinox and its twin counterpart the GMC Terrain have been GM''s bread-and-butter SUVs having sold hundreds of thousands of these vehicles to the mainstream American market and I believe that these new changes will enable the Equinox to become largely competitive again. I especially like the new engine options available for the Chevy. Its interesting see that many automakers are turning away from naturally-aspirated gasoline engines and turning to turbocharged gasoline engines instead which is great idea because when engineered correctly and equipped with the right transmission, a turbocharged engine can get terrific fuel economy with no sacrifice on power (aka. Chevy Cruze 1.5 liter turbo). I am also really interested to see how Chevrolet's new 1.6 liter turbodiesel engine will perform and based on the performance specs I am impressed and this engine might be what will give the Equinox and upswing in the competitive SUV market because from what I read from the specs the new turbodiesel will be able to get 40 mpg on the highway, 40 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY, you know normally we read how compact sedans can get that number but a compact SUV? If the Equinox can get that number on the highway in real-life it could possibly launch the Equinox to the top of the segment. Now of course we have to remember that diesel engines of any kind, while popular in Europe, have never caught on the gasoline-engine loving America and with the diesel scandal that erupted in Volkswagen, many people's confidence in diesel engines have decreased and we also need to remember that diesel fuel is expensive, more so than gasoline. However, things could be different on for the Equinox, especially if they put emphasis on the fact that the Equinox can get 40 mpg with the engine. Plus, offering diesel could give Chevrolet a chance to sway disgruntled Volkswagen owners to buy a possibly more reliable Chevy diesel equipped SUV instead. Also, with a nine-speed automatic, it will be the first mainstream compact SUV to be equipped with such a transmission, which used to be only available in luxury crossovers. Overall, nice job Chevy and I believe this will be a hit.

Since they made it smaller to more comfortably fit into the marketing space, I would of liked to see a hybrid option and possibly a CVT. Sure, there is the diesel, but diesel is even more expensive and you don't really get anymore efficiency compared to gasoline. I am glad to see they have re engineered the engine. The 2.4lt in my 2011 has the timing tensioner problem that the engine is well known to have. Overall, I will keep my current 2011 equinox until they find a way to make a bigger volt. I would LOVE to see an electric tahoe!!

Looks to me like gm is on the move in a positive way. Upgrading there products in meaningful ways , and leading with engine tech. Maintaining the conservative styling but fixing the front grills to look better and more up to date. Strong model updates on the last few releases,cruise ,Malibu ,Impala all look good and seem to offer better value than before.

Awesome review, looking forward to driving the Diesel when it eventually comes out next year!

Wait, Did they remove the subwoofer? That was on of my favorite features of the car! It appears to be gone😔

I hate that they keep shortening vehicles. Im a 6 foot guy and I like my cars spacious in all areas

Did anyone notice what Steve said at the end of the video on the gm family of brands? All will be getting some versions on this new platform mate, so that means a v6 will fit....

i never knew an engine could be fun to drive, materials that give a higher quality appearance, a higher quality look, does that mean there is no quality, just appears like it's quality but in reality it's cheap? same look across the board, good thinking GM God forbid you make it unique and stand out from everything else GM builds lol

this car looks really nice

Every equinox I've ever driven I have came away thoroughly underwhelmed and unimpressed by them. These will be no different. Then again the people who buy these things don't care how they drive. Which is good because they drive like crap.

In March '11 I bought a brand new 2011 1LT- and loved it for almost 5 years. However. when I hit 60,000 miles on the dot, the transmission collapsed on me one day while going down the highway, ultimately resulting in full loss of power, and requiring the vehicle to get towed. Thank God I was by myself and didn't have the kids in the vehicle. The chevy dealer had to fully rebuild the transmission to make it work again. The second it was repaired, I got rid of it and bought a Toyota Highlander. Never buying a GM product again. They are not built to last.

I wish they did something a little different with the back , it reminds me of the current version of this car and thats not a good thing

Wow turbo diesel. Hope they bring it to S. Korea. Thank you for the fast upload

I do like my EQ. Disappointed there is no Twin Turbo version with an SS Badge and a 1LE Package. ;)

Roman must have taken his meds that morning - he asked some good questions. :-)

In a typical GM fashion they half-assing it all the way. That diesel is way too small for that car and to add insult to injury that 6 speed will be less than adequate. As someone pointed out below they conveniently committing RPM figures. And I bet they will only offer diesel in high end trim. And what's with all the chrome?

can't wait for the gmc terrain

So it's a Chevy Malibu Hatchback?

RIP V.SIX hello diesel option and im glad you can't get a third row option i hate how all the new crossovers offer that no matter how small

Maybe better engines but is that the best body redesign that Chevy could come up with!

Bring back Pontiac!! Please

looking forward to this one.

when your Chevy Diesel Engine Assistant Chief Engineer needs to look at a cheat sheet just to know the specs of the engines he should know from the ground up then you are in trouble.

I need a new one. This is nice

ok, Steve Majoros needs to shave. The tailgate foot gesture lift should not be an option but a standard. The interior design is really very lovely with the chrome. However they didn't leave any place for lady drivers to put their purse other than the passenger seat. The panoramic sunroof is lovely. Fast Lane Car you did a great job.

For horsepower and torque figures, also need to have the RPM to begin to understand how it will drive.

Well i hope we get a Opel model of the Equinox with these engines on the EU market cause Opel still has an antiquated Antara on sale , they're way behind on SUV 's compared to for example VW , Ford , Hyundai ... Hope this means we finally get a Opel/Vauxhall up to date Crossover/Suv ...

I'm saddened by the loss of ANOTHER normally aspirated V6 engine. Even with a weight loss of 400 lb's, an AWD equinox is still a lot of weight for a 1.5L turbo engine, as well as the lack of refinement, simplicity and proven longevity of a NA V6. The Diesel engine, a tiny 1.6 liters, requiring DEF, increased maintenance costs, as well as the premium cost of the engine, makes it's worth questionable. The 2.0L turbo will most likely only be available in sporty trim, with Giant wheels, and rubber band tires. To top it off, the gas engine are Direct Injection with their carbon build up issues.

by the side of it it look like a 2015 Malibu its sharp

A relative of mine has the Buick version of this.....that 1.5 is noisy and buzzy. Bland gray interior too. Blech.

Oh, how cool a 2018 MY vehicle WITHOUT adjustable front seatbelt anchors.. Cost-cutting at it's finest. Keep up the fair work GM

VERY NICE

Literally that 1.6 diesel has been around for a decade in possibly an older version. Old Captiva and Opel Antara have a 1.6 diesel. Hope it's not overly cheap like its predecessor

Tell your viewers how it will shut off the engine when you hit the brake in stop n go traffic. Really loved discovery of that on the test drive. Chevy still building crap at the public's expense.

Do you think they'll put the diesel in the GMC Terrain?

You got stupid people commenting about how it looks. You got to see it in person first. When they first showed the Ford GT, Cadillac Escalade, and Dodge Charger. I didn't like there looks until I saw them in person.

Pretty soon we'll be seeing cars with 0.5 litre quad turbos or some ridiculousness like that lol! What a joke! 😝😂😭

I like the look of the new equinox and they need to put the 9 speed automatic in the Acadia and it is the most advanced SUV in its class

FINALLY!!! GM is getting their shit together and coming out with stuff to be excited about like all turbo lineup along a diesel!!! thank goodness if I'd ever want a midsize suz it would be this with the diesel that's for sure! I'm waiting for the ZR2 thou!!!

I like it!

I don't see the point for a Diesel application in this car, considering the 1.5 is already appealing enough and the 2.0 is probably going to be the engine of choice for most buyers anyway.

it still looks cheap

Sweet Jesus, Roman's joined a boy band‼️😲😲😲

I wish they had an eco diesel in the Traverse.

Was this suppose to have a V6? So many people in the comments asking about it. If there was one crossover that got it right with the V6, was the last gen RAV4 V6

I have a 2018 equinox and I would trade if off in a heartbeat if I could. It is a rough riding and noise interior.

Lmao the GMC question

why isnt US very into Turbo Diesels, i mean why aren't they so popular as they are in UK and Europe, I think they are fantastic and should be available in all types of cars SUVs and pickups, Personally i love the 2L TD and 3TD, they make enough power and torque along with great milage, TFL please shine some light on this?

Damit, I knew the V6 was out in the next generation. I just hope the 2.0L turbo won't be dead in the bottom half of the rpm range like the 1.4.

Why make it smaller and have less power than the current one? Makes no sense Chevy bad change! Won't be upgrading my 2015 LTZ for that

Will the diesel be available in FWD only? or also AWD?

idk the front kinda looks like the Edge and the back looks like the ugly Mazda van thingy

I live near Chicago.

sad that there isn't a 3.6 V6 Anymore.

At 00:38 I never heard of Checy cars before.

one word that the 2018 Chevrolet equinox does not have a CD player.

how about eliminating the blindspots instead of creating alerts.. the mirrors are the worst

Dear car manufacturers, paint the bottom of the damn car. Thanks

I love the diesel

Was this located at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago?

i need it

does it come with standard safety features or are they optional?

since its turbo now dose that mean 91? or can we still fill up with 87?

still doesn't look like something id want to buy...i just hope those 4 cyl have more get up and go than the previous ones because they are sad

Panoramic sunroof and 9 speed transmission - sell it before the warranty runs out

Marketing Director 'CheCy' cars & Crossovers

Trunk space is probably down while passenger space is up

That first guy from Chevy looks like Paul Rudd if he were never famous

I want to feel the shifts! and I want to shift the transmission myself! Please Chevrolet add a manual option to the diesel!

How can they already release MPG of the vehicle, and Ford has no comment on the new 10 speed for 2017 F150?

i love the diesel

that little cheat sheet just destroyed a few thousands sales... and some hard working jobs :(

it looks like the trailblazer being sold in Colombia

why does chevy keep making every car consistently uglier and more cheap looking than the previous model. everything from the Camaro to the equinox to the Malibu. "we have very smart people over at chevy" oh yea? cuz ur designers need to be replaced asap from interior to exterior to mechanics. don't see the "smart" here. this ugly thing actually makes me appreciate the current equinox and that's sad

I bought a Chevy in 2006 and it seems Chevy hasn't changed a lot about the interior in their vehicles. Too many problems I had and they no longer have the same bumper to bumper coverage as before. I won't buy a Chevy again.

Americans embracing diesel and the rest of us in Europe are starting to switch to petrol, Renault have announced its going to cease with diesels in the future

No v6 option? I don't see this selling well.

Everything you want to know about this car: like all models since 2005, it's going to be poorly put together compared to japanese competition.

Future rental car

so essentially gm made their own cvt? idk how I feel bout that

Ford's 2.0l has 240hp and 270lb-ft of torque. GM is kind of late to the turbo game. Gm is also copying Ford with the hands free lift gate. There are a lot of features that are taken from the Ford Edge. The diesel is very interesting, but the horsepower isn't impressive. Why not offer it with the Colorado's Duramax?

no V6 ? thats suck

Slow the camera down next time. Also, Chevy is misspelled at the 40 sec mark; "Checy" Not one of your better reviews...

31 MPG combined for the volume four is at or below the class average. Expected more for a new turbo engine for 2017. The Rav4 engine is NA and has gotten 31 MPG for the last 4 years.
