Chevrolet Equinox

Since its 2005 debut, the Chevrolet Equinox has become a well-regarded player in the highly competitive compact crossover SUV segment. Its strengths lie in its comfortable ride, spacious cabin, and user-friendly tech. The Equinox offers ample passenger room in both rows, and its infotainment system is intuitive and comes with many sought-after features, such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Equinox also boasts a range of engine options, including a fuel-efficient turbodiesel (through the 2019 model year). However, the Equinox isn't without a few drawbacks. Some find that its interior feels less premium than rivals in the segment, while its available engines, though relatively efficient, lack sufficient grunt for much driving enjoyment. Additionally, the Equinox's cargo space is below average for its class.
