When talking about the 2024 Equinox that's a serious exaggeration.. you should look up pics of some of the SUVs from 2002 even look at the first Chevy Equinox that came out I think in 2005 and you will see a huge difference. I have the 2024 Chevy Equinox Premier I just bought it and it's a beautiful vehicle. I wasn't absolutely sure about it until I saw it in person and drove it myself and then I realized just exactly how good-looking of a vehicle it actually is and was sold on it. People want to talk bad about it just because it hasn't changed much in the last couple of years. But there are plenty of cars who have kept the same look for at least a couple years. I imagine it's pretty difficult to come out with a whole new body design and pretty expensive to do that every single year. Where do you think the cost of then coming up with all new designs every single year would trickle down to? It would trickle down to the customer and we don't need vehicle prices going higher than what they already are.

Right? It's too much with that huge all digital screen taking up the whole dash. It sticks up higher than the actual dashboard which is overkill imo

Kia/Hyundai started the modern era bumper mounted headlight nonsense. Low mounted headlights are notorious for poor lighting and excessive glare for oncoming vehicles.

The 1.5 is cheaper to produce. Thats the main answer. That and the UAW likely negotiated for a certain amount of the 1.5T engines to employ their workers. GM couldn’t care less that the engine is weak. Since most of these end up in rental fleets, it’s the most profitable for GM and the shareholders.

Production of vehicles generally start 6 months before the new year. It does take awhile to build thousands of cars and get them off the lines. Dealerships are the first to order the new models and now with the onset of internet shopping, any laymen can build and order a vehicle for the new year. In 1974 I ordered a 1975 Pontiac by going to Pontiac Motors and filling out out form. In 1975 I ordered a 1976 Pontiac via the same way. In August 1985 I ordered a 1986 Pontiac and took ownership in December 1985. In 2002 I ordered a 2003 Chevy online at a dealership because of not having a computer. In 2013 I built and ordered a 2014 Chevy to be delivered to a dealership in 2013. And finally in 2018 I built and ordered a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS, taking possession in November 2018. Expect the 2025 Blazer to arrive at dealers in July 2024 which will be the final year for the current Blazer, which was last updated in 2023. The related in-name-only Blazer EV will continue as a separate model. So if you want a ICE Blazer, better get it now. I went online to build a 2025 and because of the blasé colors, I'm passing on the idea. When black is the only color that looks good, there's a problem with Chevy's design team.

First place all companies not just Chevy don’t put visors and the flat black cladding is ok because the paint will least longer from rock chips. And the RS looks nice . So stop complaining and if you don’t like then go buy something else are ride a bike that way your eyes don’t need a visors. 😂

While the small SUV segment doesn't much appeal to me personally... it looks pretty good compared to the competition. If I HAD to choose from the segment, this would definitely be a consideration. To each their own though.
