One of the reasons these offroad trims are so popular - and they sell to urbanites in huge quantities - is the big fat 65 aspect tires. If you think about it, many bay area cities like Oakland where i live are off-road environments due to the prevalence of potholes. Hate the two tone paint, Ghastly. Nice wheels. Very nice interior. A great overall design. These compact SUV's are incredibly popular for a good reason. Practical, and space efficient. Sedans have no chance of coming back when you have so much usable interior space.

Looks great inside and out, but they kinda lost me with that 1.5L and CVT for FWD models, CVTs have been riddled with issues across pretty much every manufacturer. I am surprised they didn't use the 9 speed that is paired with the 2.0L from the previous gen, that transmission is fantastic. Hopefully, the 8 speed is decent for the AWD models.

To me, the Trailblazer is somewhat stuck in a dead zone for Chevrolet now. Great review and as always, appreciate your efforts!

I have a 2013 Equinox with the 3.6L V6 engine and love it. The only issue I've had with the vehical is the strut that helps hold up the rear tail gate, I had to replace it a few years ago. But that is it. This vehical is fantastic. I want to replace it soon only because I want a new car and when Chevy removed the 3.6L engine option from the Equinox several years ago I was very disappointed. I figured I'd have to go to the Blazer or the Traverse to get the V6 again then Chevy removed it from the Traverse. Call me crazy but I don't want a turbo engine, I feel it's another thing to go wrong. I'm a snow bird and when I have to travel 1400 miles to get from MI to FL, I like to move and the V6 really moves. So, I love the looks of the new Equinox and the Traverse but you may have lost a customer because of the engine selections.

Hey Joe, Ive been waiting for the introduction of the 2025 ICE Equinox. I'm a current owner of a 2019 Equinox which I love and you may recall I'm definitely a Chevy Fan Boy!. Chevy has certainly upped their game with the new Equinox, i love the new look inside and out. Are there more soft touch materiials on the upper doors? My only concern is why not more power or an optional hybrid powertrain? The Traverse gets the 2.5 Turbo with almost 330 hp why doesnt the Nox get the 2.0 Turbo as an optional powertrain? Joe you do fantastic reviews and i may be your biggest fan but I think this review was extra special.

it is quite the facelift for the Equinox no doubt. As much as I'm waiting on the EV version this one has me looking for sure. I currently have the 22 RS version so this is a whole new look and style and I'm digging it for sure. Just not 100% on the electronic column shift concept as that is also the same as the EV version. But time will tell and it's interesting they went with the CVT which I hope the techs with GM/Chevy really did their homework and make this option more appealing. As I've never been a fan of that one. But the AWD model has an actual transmission. This could be interesting!

I told my wife we might try leasing this in the Winter for a change. Got me really excited and I wasn't expected to be!

Interior and exterior are very well done! 1.5L with only 175hp is simply not competitive. 185hp is the bare minimum, with +200 hp as the expectation for this class/price of vehicle. Where's the hybrid for better fuel economy and performance?

Yeah I wished they would have bumped that up.

If the Torque is unchanged, it actually is competitive as it's 203. This class isn't about winning races.

@@lilred1107 I suppose as a base engine, I can accept this as competitive. But GM needs to also remember that the majority of their competitors offer multiple powertrain options (with hybrid now being a near preferred choice). Hyundai/Kia's upgrade hybrids are particularly impressive, with 225hp/256 torque for equivalent prices to the current Equinox. Why buy an Equinox with 175hp, cloth seats and 36-month warranty, when Honda/Toyota are known to be more reliable/fuel-efficient and are more powerful in base trim, while Hyundai/Kia are lower-priced, more powerful in base and hybrid trims (ie: more fuel-efficient) and have 60 months of warranty? Its really a hard sell, and GM should recognize that. The need to have something to differentiate themselves. Some reason to pick this product. As it stands, style and the number of dealerships in rural areas is about it. They aren't lower-priced, they aren't more powerful, they aren't more reliable, and they aren't more fuel-efficient.
