While its rated power on paper is competitive, with it the Equinox just doesn't have a whole lot of verve when you're trying to accelerate around other cars in the passing lane or getting up to speed for freeway on-ramps. The standard four-cylinder engine in the 2015 Equinox is pretty underwhelming. And while the Equinox isn't a class leader for overall roominess, it has a decent amount of space in the back for rear passengers.Īside from these traits, though, the Equinox is generally outmatched by several leaders in this segment. Properly equipped, the Equinox can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which is also impressive. Some competitors offer turbocharged four-cylinders that are similarly powered, but there's something to be said for a tried-and-true naturally aspirated V6. The aforementioned V6 engine is a peach too, with plenty of power on tap for passing maneuvers and uphill slogs. If you're shopping for a crossover that's great on road trips and highway journeys, the Equinox is better than most at dealing with America's underfunded road infrastructure, and it's one of the quieter vehicles we've tested at highway speeds. But is that enough to keep it out in front of its newer competitors?
The 2015 Equinox still stands out for its comfort-oriented ride and optional V6 engine.
The Chevrolet Equinox received its last redesign back in 2010, which is a pretty long time in automotive terms.
