The Equinox is getting an all new look from Chevrolet for 2025. On the outside you will discover new sheet metal, 18in wheels, grill and LED lighting. On the inside there is an 11in infotainment screen, 11in digital gauge cluster and new materials. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox a BETTER new compact SUV than a Toyota RAV4?

Wow, Chevy decided to turn Equinox into something I want to drive instead of phoning in a bland rental car. Great job Raiti team, you guys are awesome!

Raiti, I remember in 2005 my great grandma got her a new Equinox and I remember how much she enjoyed driving it up until she couldn’t anymore but then I was driving her around. It’s amazing how far the look and interior has come. I like to think she would be wanting one of these so quick!

@GRAFHC Месяц назад

I don't know who General Motors hired a few years ago but I have to say, they are killing it with their new model designs... across the lineup everything they're pumping out is a home run right now. If they can demonstrate good reliability in the next couple of years then I think it's time to buy a whole bunch of stock.

@jeffs6090 Месяц назад

Really? This has the overplayed floating roof design. Crappy Nissan started that over 10 years ago. This also has the ugly split headlight design copied by everyone, now the Equinox. Definitely nothing that screams "killing it" with design.

@GRAFHC Месяц назад

@@jeffs6090 I dont know, looks pretty slick to me, inside and out. But it's not just this, look at the new GMC Canyon, or the Buick Envista... GMC is pumping out great looking vehicles right now.

@toner37 Месяц назад

having done more of my own online research for this 2025 Equinox since I first heard of it a few months back. The panoramic sunroof is an option according to the Chevrolet Canada website. All 3 trims will have that option. Personally, I think sunroofs can be overrated with it's pro/cons. But as you've mentioned it is a pre-production model. But overall I am liking this all new inside and out design. The heated seats and steering wheel being standard across the board will be a key selling feature for sure.

@Avatar1946 Месяц назад

@koven1497 Месяц назад

For the price and what they’re offering, it’s not a bad deal. Wish they’d eliminate gloss and give it a slightly bigger engine. Not as reliable as a RAV4 or CRV, but it’s a massive improvement from the previous Equinox. Just concerned about reliability.

@b.lemire7453 Месяц назад

The Equinox finally doesn't look hideous anymore. I couldn't believe the last generation's design made it off the design board never mind into production. It's not part of this video (except for a brief mention) but the design of the new Trex is really, really good--more of that please. The interior of the Equinox is very plain (seats look good though) but I guess that's the norm at this price point. I wonder why the interior wheel hump in the back is so much larger on the driver side than on the passenger side. Thanks, Joe
