Consumer Reports Gets Its Hands On The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox: Video
Sponsored Links
Chevrolet had an important mission when redesigning the Equinox: position it at the heart of the compact crossover segment. If this sounds familiar, it’s because GMC just did the same thing with the 2017 GMC Acadia. That vehicle is now a midsize crossover to challenge the segment.
Like the Acadia, the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is now ready to duke it out with the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV-4, something its predecessor was unable to do. Consumer Reports was granted a quick look at the new Equinox, minus driving impressions, to round out what to expect from the new CUV.
Thus far, it looks like a winner. The interior is spacious with plenty of backseat legroom, cargo space is aplenty with flat-folding seats and three efficient powertrains offer something to love for everyone, including diesel fans.
The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox will make its public debut at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show next week, so stay tuned here while we unearth more details on Chevy’s latest CUV.

Quick drive, my backside. There wasn’t any driving shown. It looks good though by his walk around and such.
The Chevy Equinox is GM’s second best selling vehicle for over six years (the Cruze and Malibu took a few months at that position). This remodel will continue the sales at that position. The CR reviewer still has “bull manure” in his mind, downplaying the quality of the Equinox against the imports whuc sell less. I have a 2009 Equinox and it is the best vehicle I have ever own. But I will only trade it in for an EREV or Hybrid Equinox. I am expecting GM to present that version in January at the Detroit Auto Show.
Wow! What an improvement with the new front end! I was hoping for a diesel Terrain, but the ’18 Equinox looks even better then the Terrain’s toaster body style. GM’s finally coming out with some unique models in the market place like the diesel Cruse, Equinox, and the Regal Wagon.
No one has been permitted to drive one yet as there is an embargo on the stories yet.
This will be an improved model but yet slightly different. It will be smaller but more efficent in mpg and space with better packaging.
Keep an open mind that if this one is no longer your cup of tea more Chevy SUV models are coming.
I do not expect extended range models yet as either the larger frontal area range would be limited.
As for the diesel have at it. It Will be expensive like the Colorado but if you wanted one you can finally get it. Now if you have been begging for it buy one as future models will no come unless it sells.
I bough the 2016 because it’s towable behind an RV & I like that is bigger than the 06 RAV4 it replaced. The video had no mention of whether it also can be towed behind an RV. That’s important to many RV buyers.
I’m pretty sure the new NOX will out sell the Malibu….personaly I’d buy the Nox over a Malibu.
