The multitalented Honda CR-V provides better fuel economy and more maximum cargo space, while the Ford Escape and Mazda CX-5 also serve up superior agility.
USED 2016 CHEVROLET EQUINOX FULL
No matter which model you choose, you'll enjoy a big backseat that slides and reclines, as well as a ride that's smooth and quiet relative to other reasonably priced crossovers.Īlthough the 2016 Equinox's improvements are meaningful, this segment is chock full of appealing entrants. If you're looking for extra power, though, the Equinox provides it in the form of a segment-topping 301-horsepower V6 that's optional on more expensive models. We're also underwhelmed by the base four's acceleration compared to other fours in this class. You may have to squint to see the 2016 Equinox's styling changes, but this is certainly a restrained and attractive crossover.Ī lingering sore spot is the base four-cylinder engine, which receives solid EPA fuel economy estimates but has a hard time matching them in the real world. Also expected are available items like LED exterior lighting and blind-spot monitoring, and here again, the refreshed Equinox delivers. A touchscreen interface, for example, is increasingly expected by shoppers in this segment, and the 2016 Equinox checks that box with its newly standard 7-inch interface. This aging crossover still has plenty of life, and Chevrolet has improved its features in some key areas. With a number of well-rounded rivals nipping at its heels, the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox gets a welcome rejuvenation. This is something i would give a good rating for, the ease of repair, and the quality of the engineering feel like they are there. Maybe not in the looks, maybe not in the exterior build quality, or interior fit and finish, but the engine, and transmission feel like one of the better products, and when buying american, you want something that will run, and be easy to fix. Personally, i am very critical when it comes to cars, and each person will have their own tastes, expectation, and personalities, but from a critical outlook i will say that this is not the best car on the road, and frankly for the price, it isn't even in the middle as per where i would rate it against other offerings, but. The Big tires, smaller wheels on the LT trim line make the steering very vague, and not very positive on where the wheels are facing. As far as the entertainment system, it is cheap, the speakers are cheap, the head unit is like every other GM delco branded unit, but it is lacking features that exist on higher end cars, or upscale models, it's Ok to drive, the seating position is more car like than the Buick Encore or Chevy Trax, but the SUV still feels top heavy. Looks are a subject of taste, but the front of the thing looks like a joke, the high trim line over the front, just makes it look weird to me, the older ones were way better looking IMO. The SUV is good on gas averaging 24MPG Eco mode in city traffic, and 33MPG eco mode on the highway, not too bad.
The seats are big, comfortable if not a little too soft, the interior seating quality will never last as long as the car, but then people who buy GM products typically don't expect them to last hundreds of thousands of miles either (if they did, buy a Pushrod GM product). Low end torque is there and throttle response is good enough to drive in city traffic or cruise on the highway.
The panel fitment on the body is terrible, interior is cheap, and the plastics are 1970's quality, but the transmission is the best automatic 4cyl trans that GM has to offer, the shifts are crisp in comparison to other … GM products, the engine is unrefined, and i would absolutely opt for the v6, but it's better than the turbo offerings. Rental cars are typically what they are, cars that are beaten on, and nothing special, but this one is about the best GM vehicle i have driven (car only has 1125 miles).
