There is no hotter segment than Compact Crossovers and Chevy hopes the third generation Equinox can push the leaders from Honda and Toyota. With three new Turbo engines (two gasoline and one diesel), the Equinox is well positioned to offer buyers a viable alternative to CR-V and RAV4.

Or the Jeep Cherokee v6 with 300hp.
Its so boring….
So I saw a commercial for the "teen drivers technologies" and its just a marketing scheme. All vehicles come with this stuff. Hell Jeep and VW vehicles will even let you pull up a map on your phone to show exactly where your vehicle is. What a crock.
yeah the CR-V is shockingly nice inside – i wish they offered the 2.0 turbo from the accord on it …
Ron, you look cramped in that car.
They say the 2.0 L and diesel will be coming this summer, but at a dealer 50 miles from us, there's a 2.0 L AWD that my mom will test drive soon
Other reviewers state that the 2.0 Ll engine is mated to a 9 speed, not 6 speed.
it already needs a mid cycle refresh !!
i like it
The 2.0 turbo will come with the 9-speed auto I think.
This is one ugly vehicle.
Looks too generic and more and more like a MiniVan
what I am not a fan of when it comes to the Honda CRV is that dash/driver info center. It's too busy and too much computer style generated graphics. I like gauges to look at, not graphics. And the CRV center stack is too much. But personally I think it's a preference. And I like that Chevy kept the shifter closer to the driver. I am not getting my some are moving it up closer to the center stack. The Honda CRV the shifter is too close to come of the controls. The new Equinox has remote keyless entry as standard. Not sure if Honda does. But with Honda's keyless entry. You grab the door handle to unlock. What if you are wearing gloves?
Overall, not a bad offering in the very competitive segment of CUVs and SUVs; just keep your options open! The CRV is definitely the choice for me personally. Especially its interior.
Chevy would be one of the last big company to bring the small SUV. not the others
I think the shiny plastic stuff around air vents and gear shift looks to much and want to see how it looks on a sunny day when sun is shining in the windows and if that plastic blinds you while driving.
