I purchased a 2023 Equinox Premier for my wife. We are happy with it and have had zero issues. I am ticked that GM dropped the 2.0 liter for 2023. It made the Equinox a sleeper. The 1.5 got a new production code (LSD) for 2023. GM stated it's a new engine but I think it's just a warm over of the pass Eco Tech. Anyway, the 1.5 is adequate but as you said it's a bit buzzy when accelerating. It was a lot cheaper then a Rav-4. Especially since the dealer was selling Rav-4's over MSRP plus all the crap they add that is just dealer mark up. The Chevy dealer was awesome and treated my wife and I first rate. The service experience was also excellent. Cheers!!!

If I am not wrong, I think there may be two levers to drop down the mid-row seats on the right of the cargo area. Hmm.. Anyways, Happy New Year, Joe! I hope this year brings a ton of new subscribers and brand-new fun videos!!! 🥳

Hey Joe, funny enough, I work as a Project Manager at Hyundai, and these reviews of yours are amazing and entertaining! They give me a certain perspective on what cars people want. Happy New Year, man!

Oh thank god , I’ve been waiting for you to do a review on the 2024 , thank you

I got the 2023 Equinox. Its a great looking car and the drive is smooth

Hey bro, you should look into the mounts that attach to the metal legs of the passenger headrest and it’s like a boom arm that sticks out and your GoPro or your camera can go right on that boom arm and you can position it perfectly in the middle taking video of the dashboard looking out.

I think that color would look great on a Camaro. Happy New Year, Joe!

I’m digging that blue color looks good

Feliz año nuevo Joe, yo seguiré esperando el nuevo traverse RS 2024

Glad you got this beautiful and stunning color Chevrolet equinox

On the right hand side of the cargo area there is two levers to drop the rear seats instead of having to reach in and pull the lever on the back of each seat

When I got my license, my parents got me a 2023 Redline Edition. It feels very fast, and I love the look of it, love it as my first car.

Happy New Year Joe, Do you think it's worth trading in a '19 Subaru Forester for this new '23 Chevrolet Equinox?? Driving mainly in the city and suburbs.

I like the Equinox had one for a rental car and it really surprised me, I really enjoy the sporty touches that Gm puts in the interior and just really how it drove

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍

Amazing review Joe.

is there going to be a new generation ICE equinox, loved your blooper reel, are we getting Lori's Rides review episodes this year, To The Door Panels.

Sweet ride. Love riptide blue 💙. My msrp was $36,900. Got it for $30,100. Rs package. Leather, sunroof.

Alright Joe happy New year and let’s see if this Equinox is what they say about it

Mom just got the rs and it’s too nice. Sound system is wild

I love my 22 Equinox LT AWD. It’s my second Equinox. My previous one was a 19 Equinox LT FWD. I have my 22 for another 6 months, as I am leasing it. I am probably going to switch to a Subaru Forester or Outback, when my lease is up on my Equinox.

2 million keep going 💯🙏

It's great little SUV and doesn't break bank. A lot of you commenting about something you probably never have driven. This car is not blow doors off but save gas. If you one of those people rough on everything you buy it want last like everything else you buy. I bought one with all bells and whistles for $33k. The thought of me buying something this small never happens but drove it an was impressed with ride. My intentions were 2500 but they could not get payment under $1400. So decided to wait for rates to come down. This fit bill since I am always away from home.

Thank goodness for a spare tire. The last two flat tires I got were from torn sidewalks. Heaven help you if you're only rocking fix-a-flat goop.

Looks good but needs more power. At least 230hp and 250tq. Sunroof, aluminum pedals like you said. RS logo in steering wheel, and electric passenger seat

i have this same car and am almost positive it does in fact have a headup display, going off the fact that mine does

Can't wait for the redesign

Is the pin stripping done by the dealership?

!!!!Que Bonita!!! Is Beautiful!!! Very god!! Gracias Mi hermano Friend Raitis a like Chevrolet Suv the best Design 🙃 hello from santo domingo

Hey Raiti's Rides When Are You Driving The New 2025 CT5

Yes of course Joe & I'm thinking of buy one.

I know one thing Joe this Riptide Blue better be the 2025 model!

I would like to interview one of the designers of those SUVs who decided to put old incandescent bulbs on the vehicles to see how much money they save on every vehicle they sell like that. Also, as they put fake vents, let us pay with fake money 😂. I know the RS stands for Restricted stuff

Is this AWD? My 20202 is not and is terrible in the snow. I love everything about it but driving in the snow

I like there is no sunroof, I have left my car's sunroof open several times, unfortunately that made rains pour in. Now I am kinda paranoid in checking my car's sunroof.

Happy New Year Joe I love the Fake vents yes, they're just decorative who wants a boring blue bumper? I feel like as a compact SUV I still think it looks good.

Your editing skills are truly impressive, keep it up.

I wish with the RS they added 15-20 horsepower

I have a 2005 and it’s pretty good

I’d go with fords new escape there giving you a 2.0 t motor in the titanium

Where's the Equinox EV man... That's the one we all are waiting for!!

The color for this SUV is amazing. I love thé black rims on it as well, some zonks but honestly not many.

The Equinox and the Kia Sorento are the best-looking non-European SUVs RN for me, but the Sorento is significantly more expensive than the Chevy RS in its higher trim. I never had the 2.0 engine but heard it was problematic for some people; the 1.5 works perfectly fine in my experience.

I like the styling of the recent chevys more than the rav4, crv, and whatever the Mazda is. But I’m hoping they get the redesign for the 2025 year. It’s strange that the trax, traverse, Tahoe, and suburban already have the redesign or redesign shown,but the blazer and equinox hasn’t changed.

You are the KING of "dad humor."

No sunroof is a zonk, Definitely should have dual exhaust for an RS model. It's a shame that Ford hasn't been competitive with the Escape in the last 4 years. The same will be for the Explorer also. Competition is at an all time high now. Chevy been doing pretty good lately.

This car should be 5k cheaper, and then it would be a compelling choice versus the RAV4 Hybrid and the CRV Hybrid. GM is doomed if they keep putting out products that are simplistic but priced comparably to the superior RAV4 and CRV products, which dominate the compact crossover market. A very nice color.

Nice color 💙

I like the painted wheel well surround hate the plastic

GM phoned in the Equinox years ago. One anemic engine choice and 6 speed auto. My Escape has 25 more hp and almost 600 mile range on 14.4 gallons of gas. The last time I had an Equinox rental I was looking for a gas station after 350 miles.

i sold the Ravs around 94/96 time , they were definitely hot, Toyota would not discount them, dealership could not get enough

If only the equinox has the same exterior as the Terrain then it'd be a winner. I heard the 2025 is getting the new remodel

I'll take 203 naturally aspirated horse power over 175 with boost horse power anyday joe. I love my new 2024 Rav4 but those RS badges sure are cute!

Does Chevy do any interior colors OTHER than black?!? It's so HOT in the summer!

Outdated and in need of a refresh. It was competitive about 5 years ago. There are better choices out there from virtually every other brand.

I like the design but the interior is a big zonk. The Toyata RAV4 would be my go to.

I don't think that this is the new Equinox , I've seen photos from GM in China that shows a more muscular body for 2024 . But I could be wrong because it is already 2024 and the new vehicles normally show their faces at the end of the previous year . If so the other body style is worth the wait .

Great review but that Equinox is so outdated & long in the tooth. Needs a full overhaul haul from my perspective. Thanks Joe & Stephen.

Two additional "zonks".....no body coloured shark fin antenna (it is black, ick), and no rear amber turn signals (proven safer and more visible in all weather conditions) if you are doing a refresh, do it right

This car in Uzbekistan 40 000 $. How much in USA ?

I don't know what GM was thinking, either they didn't put any effort into designing the interior or they just wanted to make this car a budget alternative to the Japanese competitions.

Bring back the 2.0T. This 1.5T is not compelling at all.

For a moment I thought it is the new Subaru forester from the front

Finally noo!! Gold batch color!!!

Wait for the 25 redesign. Light years ahead of this...

Not a chance……..

Joe the Chevy equinox has been around since the early 2000s & also I thought this a turbo charge

Yup definitely wish it was packing the same kinda reliability as a Toyota

Does anybody like Chevy's new slogan, "Together Lets Drive"? To me, Ill always like " Find New Roads" better. Thats just me though.

Looks alright.

You can't beat Chevy reliability.

78 bags of pickles... thats exactly what I was thinking

Equinox is the correct example of "you get what you pay for". I think Equinox is decent for $30k range.

Can you do a Malibu review please?

20210 RESOLUTE VENATOR CLASS STAR DESTROYER

I had a 2013 chevy equinox, loved it. Uber destroyed my car....never again

I would never pay 35,000 for an equinox. When you Google the price, none of the vehicles are over 30,000.

Rs should have the metal gas pedal and brake and that motor😂 it’s a RS should have that 2.0 t 228 hp 270 to jezz Chevy

1.5 engine is too small. 2.5 is needed

After seeing the 2025 redesign I wouldn’t even consider the 2024

Can't car manufacturers offer a V6? I m sure that they can build a gas ⛽ friendly . I ll never go electric ⚡. Climate in Canada is can be really ❄️ ❄️ cold in winter.

The RS is only a trim pack and paying xtra for not alot. The engine is underpowered and as usual GM the imports are handing your A$$ to you in this segment. The 2.0 made it at least worth it. You did way too many zonks here.

Thought it was the equinox Ev, not interested in the 🦕 model

When is the electric one coming out?

There is a 2025 Equinox coming that is completely new generation and very nice. Bet it’ll still be cheaper than overpriced rav4 and crv 😂

I thought it was a Kia Sorento from far away……..or a Acura 🤣. They are all starting to look alike, from a distance 🙃

you forgot the Ford Escape

I’m a Chevy guy but Equinox has never spoke to me. They are a cheaper SUV but they look it also.

RS (Red Stitch)

Chevy should make every vehicle that they make and sell should have a 10 speed transmission.. six and eight speeds are getting old.

Compact crossover and still weighs in at almost 3700 lbs 🙄 and only a 6 speed transmission. Give me the Mazda instead

honestly it doesn't look much different than my wife's 2010 Rav4

Towing 3,500 lbs with that 1.5 turbo isn't going to happen, especially not for long before it blows up. Chevy says 1,500 Joe.

so ya get a flat ya gotta dump the contents of your cargo area on the side of the road to get at the spare. who thought up that stupid concept?

RAV4 👏👏👍👍

Outdated interior and exterior look comparing to the competitors and really a small tiny horsepower for a midsize SUV with an RS batch 😂

I’ll take a rav4 prime.

Wow, that wind and tire noise.. ill pass

This Chevy could be best in class, but I could never get over how ugly it is. Kind of a joke putting an RS badge on it.

When your main selling point is the color man you have some problems 😅
