He did a great job sorting those differences. What I hate is you can't get a freaking seat belt height adjuster on any Equinox anymore, which is making me look at different makes.
I have a 2016 Malibu Premier wit 2.0 Turbo which is why I went with the 2.0 so it didn't have the start stop. If I get a newer Equinox with the 2.0, will it be start/stop with no ability to disable? If so, that's a bummer. Might even be a deal breaker for me?
@@la196 They all have it too :( Same platform as the Equinox with the exact same engine/transmission options. Right now the Trax/Encore doesn't have the auto stop on its 1.4L engine.
Well, well well, my just purchased 2019 LT AWD 2FL has Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Following Distance Indicator, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Automatic Braking, and Intellibeam Headlamps. But no fog lamps, which I don't really care about. So far, it's been a good purchase.
The passive entry on all four doors was honestly the only good thing about the Equinox, as well as the beautiful orange, green, and blue colors. Why did Chevy take away that very convenient feature from the Malibu and the Cruze, too? If I’m looking for a GM product, it’ll either be 2016-2018 Malibu or 2018-2019 Equinox just for that passive entry on all four doors. Not a lot of other cars at that price do that.
My wife has a 2019 Red Line lease and we love it for all but the tires are just trash in the rain and snow here in Ohio. Glad to hear we can get the leather when our lease is up.
I love the Red Line Editions!!! I've heard from a few people that the tires aren't that good in the snow :( I'd love to help you with your next lease, do you live near Cleveland?
that feature, which may be off when choose to drive it in manual mode.. I tested it and it doesn't shut off when put it into L and let it drive... but not sure if that works well with every model.. gotta test it again on another model, but one shouldn't have to do that.. It may just be what keeps me from buying one this fall !!! MORONS !!!
I LOVE the start/stop feature on my 2019 Equinox as it improves my gas mileage ratings significantly. However, for those who want start/stop to never "engage", leave your AIR CONDITIONER ON and the engine will refuse to shut off when you stop. I myself deliberately TURN OFF my air conditioner (in summer weather) when I know I will be stopped for more than 6 seconds so that my start/stop system will ENGAGE. Then when I release my foot off the brake and the engine restarts, I turn on my air conditioner again.
Great video! Very detailed and I like how you showed us the differences, will definitely consider getting the 2020 model even if I drop a few more bucks on it, keep it up!
I just got the 2019 2.0T in May and love it except the 3 beep alert when you close the door while idling. Pisses me off as I need to stop and idle frequently during nighttime hours and hate waking customers and their neighbors up at 0300! Any way to disable that? Did enough people complain about it that it's off the 2020 model?
Yes, that feature can be disabled in the system preference menu on the car screen monitor. Take your time and look thru all the features associated with locking and unlocking the door, and alerts. You will see that you can disable it. Play around with features, and try out different ones until it stops making the noise.
Nothing really new for the Premier, just that the Confidence Packages 2 and 3 don't include those features in the packages since they are standard. I haven't confirmed, but that should make the price of the packages a little less expensive.
The seat material in the LT is hideous and It is such an ugly pattern. Equinox has suffered from ugly seats since it debuted in 2010. You always have to move up to leather to get decent seats. That was a deal breaker for us when we were shopping a few weeks ago. About time they added all those safety features as standard. Now they just need nicer seats and a bigger screen.
LOL, my thoughts exactly,the material and pattern is absolutely horrible- ruins the entire interior!! i did notice some of the LS models have two tone seats which look a lot better but you are correct the leather seats look best! i'm also surprised that even the little Chevy Trax has better looking seats then the Equinox 😂
I have a 2011 Chevy equinox lt and I love the leather seats with the red stitching. Some people are just to picky these days! It’s a car you drive it lol
Hi Kennedy, with cloth interior the MSRP would start around $33,000 before rebates and discounts. With leather interior the MSRP starts around $37,000 before rebates and discounts
The Equinox hasn't offered any underbody protection from factory. I've had several guests get aftermarket undercoating from several companies and multiple models. Unless you're going off-roading, shouldn't be an issue.
nice video but I need to vent a moment about those colors -- that bright blue is gorgeous, I have always wanted a car that color, so very disappointed that it's not available anymore!! why have a blue so dark that it almost looks black in certain light? people can just get a black one and leave the bright blue for those of us who don't want a dark car, but don't want white or silver.
if putting down to L, works on all models, and I will test a few to be sure then I may buy one, even though I shouldn't have to drive in L every day, but if it doesn't work and not certain it would on model I may get, I may just not buy this car, even though I like it, cause of this stupid stupid, did I say stupid feature... How dumb is GM ? No way they're not aware buyers, or many of us, don't want that fckin thing.. it's also a dangerous feature, cause what if it doesn't start up (which is possible, on a rare occasion), and such being at a key moment you gotta get out of the fkn way, or be slammed... do we know of a way to disconnect it after you buy the car ? bypass some wiring or something ? I'm also liking the santa fe (but low on power, and I don't like that...hmm.), Outback is the other one on my short list, and deals on the 2019's now...6 cyl. power and o.k. on gas..and better awd system..... CX5 is awsome, but couple silly features, lack there of, ruin that option too.. not many in this class and price range with good power.. many have non-turbos that are too slow/gutless.. .. If I go for this, dealershipgm, i hope have huge savings offered, I'll consider it if I can get $6K or more off...
I think you are really going overboard and reaching here good lord! However I do understand your concerns, but I seriously doubt the system would just not work it’s design but yes everything fails sometimes but I think you just hate the feature auto start stop and honestly it’s feature to save gas but how if it keeps turning your car off and on with each stop 🤦🏽♂️
@@JM-zb1mq tons of others hate this feature !! Not putting off button is the dumber part. Overall its a good option. Ive taken this off my list & down to outback or cx-5.
Too much info on colors, who cares? You can get the color you want when you buy one, they have all of that available. He didn't show anything but the front of the car?? Waste of my time.
Wow, those cars are soo boring and not fun.. my lord! Ugly as well! Just not a good vehicle.. these things and traverse and blazer really need to be fully redone asap. Throwaway vehicles that wont be worth but 5-10k in 10 years.. yikes.. cant wait to never see these things again!
You failed to explain what the passive entrance is. You as a salesperson would know. 99% of customers don't. Think like a customer not a salesperson. You need to improve on this. The entire video was you talking to another industry person not talking to customers who need to be educated on these things you're talking about. Why point out differences in stuff if the person watching is left with the impression of "I don't even know what that thing is that you're speaking about."
He did a great job sorting those differences. What I hate is you can't get a freaking seat belt height adjuster on any Equinox anymore, which is making me look at different makes.
They should've made the engine start stop deactivatable. Like everyone else
Agreed, I was hoping they would add that this year. They have it on the Cruze and Silverado, hope it comes to the rest of the lineup soon!

@@la196 Unfortunately, you are correct. All Equinoxes have the auto stop with no override as of right now.
KB Cars Maybe I’ll have to check out the GMC terrain?

LT can get those as options tho?
There are several ways to disable it yourself.. I put my gear on "L" and shift it to 6 and it disables the autostop.
mjmac74 I’ll check this out today
The only problem is you have to do it every time

They finally fixed the oil consumption problem eith the engine 2017 and up. So ill consider
Automatic breaking was not standard on 2020
I don't care about the color, I look for a good engine that does not broke on the road. anyway I wait for year 2022 to buy a 2019 if I can afford it.
did the add the option to shut off the engine stop/start feature for those who hate that ??? and want to turn it off !!
that feature, which may be off when choose to drive it in manual mode..

@@kimdawcatgirl Your welcome. I had the same problem. LoL
I just bought a 2021. The Start/stop is deactivated Le on mine with 1.5L Turbo
So if they made so much of what you used to have to get a premier available in lower trims, what is specifically new with the premier trim?
Nothing really new for the Premier, just that the Confidence Packages 2 and 3 don't include those features in the packages since they are standard. I haven't confirmed, but that should make the price of the packages a little less expensive.

My 2018 LT AWD has a gorgeous interior it’s called ‘Medium Ash’
I love my seats in my 2019. Leather seats suck in the winter time. I guess to each it's own .
I’m not gonna lie I just got a 2020 and I hate the seats I was trying not to get seat covers like I had with my previous cars but I’m gonna have to.
I have a 2011 Chevy equinox lt and I love the leather seats with the red stitching. Some people are just to picky these days! It’s a car you drive it lol

Hi Kennedy, with cloth interior the MSRP would start around $33,000 before rebates and discounts. With leather interior the MSRP starts around $37,000 before rebates and discounts
Best in segment cargo capacity with 81 cu ft with front passenger seat folded down.
Need to know about inside towing info for the 2020 equinox. Not the outside towing eqpt.
Could you discuss the under carriage not being covered how will this effect wear and tear

How do you turn on and make the sounds come on with all these features
Thank you
Where do I find the mileage
on the Driver Information Center (the screen in the instrument panel). It'll be at the bottom of that screen.
Can you flat tow either 19 or 20 awd or fwd behind a rv?
That brown is disgusting. They should've kept the Storm Blue
Aww - i like it. Just ordered one :-)
Good info to know. Thanks
:) Thanks for watching :)
Just bought a new Equinox a month ago. They are doing a really poor job getting the nice colors out that people want for the 2022s.
Everyone who disliked this has the 2019 🤣🤣❤️
🤣🤣🤣
Twunny twunny.

Congratulations! :)
