At highway speeds, road and wind noise are hushed.
In a parking lot or back alley, that’s bound to annoy.įive years in, the Chevrolet Equinox is still a champ in terms of composure. Its turning circle, at 40 to 42.6 feet (depending on wheel size), is as much as 7.8 feet wider than the RAV4’s. At 187.8 inches long, the Chevrolet Equinox is noticeably larger than competitor compact crossover SUVs like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazdfa CX-5 and Ford Escape. Still, the size is bound to turn away some shoppers. It’s aged well since it debuted in summer 2009, and next year’s 2016 face-lift will change little (click here to see early details). The Equinox’s face courts little controversy, with Chevrolet’s familiar two-bar grille and perky headlights leading into a plus-sized profile. We tested a midlevel Equinox 1LT against six competitors in ’s $28,000 Compact SUV Challenge, which you can see here. The Equinox’s multimedia system gets subscription-based Wi-Fi for 2015, but other changes are minimal. (Chevrolet and GMC are sibling brands under parent company GM.)

The same is true for the Equinox’s corporate twin, the GMC Terrain. The 2015 Chevrolet Equinox remains a half-size larger than most of its competition, which makes for better ride quality and comfort, but its poor visibility and lack of driving fun will turn off some shoppers.
