Very Satisfied with Equinox 2LT

We traded in a 2023 Bolt EV that we loved for the 2024 Equinox 2LT and have been very satisfied with the new vehicle. It lacks the quickness of the Bolt, but that is not what it is designed to do. Big, comfortable adult seats, 359 miles of range after our last Electrify America top off and now access to the Tesla Supercharger network gives comfort in ride and confidence in range. The cabin is spacious, bright and visibility is excellent. Suspension does a great job of smoothing out the bumps. We found plenty of cargo space for our needs and lots of rear seat leg room. For all its benefits, I think it’s ridiculous, inconsiderate and inconvenient to customers that Apple Car Play is omitted. Just a really inexcusable decision, because an app is your primary user interface to critical features in an EV, and Apple design is far superior to what a car company can create. Without Car Play, the large, clear screen turns into a befuddling mess to navigate and the My Chevrolet app remains slow, clunky and frustrating at times. Lack of CarPlay almost turned us elsewhere, but in the end we chose to live with it because with trade-in value of the Bolt, federal rebate and a couple other discounts, the value (even with the recommended convenience package) for all the good features, space and especially range was way too great to look elsewhere.

Great Entry level EV

I’d effective give this car a 4.5 stars. Has great tech and comfortable ride. Coming from a ICE vehicle to an EV is a BIG change to an everyday experience. Charging experience is pretty straight forward from 25% to100% on a level 3 fast charger takes me roughly 35min. Getting into a mindset of when battery is around 25% to find a charger helps me with not having range anxiety/being stranded. Regeneration braking captures around 1-5%charge, however the one pedal driving always a little different to get used to. However it’s still pretty great function. A very under appreciated item is buttons! Not every being integrated into the radio or an additional display. Reasons why it does NOT get a 5 stars: Out of the giant screen, it’s not flush with the gauge cluster, which irks me. It’s recessed back a little. On the very left side of the radio, there is your main controls such as vehicle off, one pedal driving, light controls that cannot be seen unless you move your entire body to the right. Due to the steering wheel blocking them. Irritates me since I’d like to simply reach my hand out and o touch them without worrying which one I am actually hitting since they are block by a steering wheel. Poor design by GM.

I’m very happy with the Equinox EV but would like to have option of 3500 lbs hitch for hauling heavy electric bikes.

Issues: - No Apple CarPlay. - Serious front windshield glare issue (dashboard ribbing creates a hologram on the windshield!). - Windshield wiper control complicated and confusing, and on the left side of the column and not the right. - Shift lever on right of column is silly; easy to fumble with the control. Put the shift on the console! - Front door window controls are way too far forward. - Center wipe windshield wipers do not wipe far enough back - they leave a 4-5" area uncleaned at either left or right post. - The torque steer upon a hard accelerator pedal push is intense. Easy to lose control of the car. - The car does not turn off automatically as you walk away from the car, unless you play around with the goofy shift lever. - The pop-out door handles get stuck in icy conditions. - The pop-out door handles have no grip and are awkward when pulling to open. - The doors do not unlock automatically as you approach. You need to pull the door handles twice. - Sound system on the RS is GRUESOME. It's as good as an AM radio on a 1968 Nova. - Back storage is smaller than a sedan trunk. - You cannot customize the driver's dash panel to the apps you want. Only a set group. - The volume button is hard to reach on the nav panel (it's behind the steering wheel). - The volume button is pretty insipid. All you can do is turn it. You can't press it to turn audio on/off. - The buttons to turn the car off on the nav panel are just as hard to turn off. - If you do not pre-warm up the car, you will freeze on your ride. It takes 30 minutes for the car to warm up with temperatures in the 20's. - The back trunk release button is almost impossible to find or reach on the dash. - There is a cavern of wasted space underneath the front of the console. - The blinker clicking sound is as loud and annoying as the 1968 Nova mentioned above. - The electric motor is noisier than expected. - the express window feature / control is designed cheaply and hard to control the express part. - The center console compartment door opens sideways rather than lift front to back. - The RS does not have electric steering wheel adjustment. Other than that, a decent car.

Best EV

I leased this car for my daughter in college. She drives it 178 miles to and from college with no issues. She pays less than 10 dollars to fill it up to 80 percent when she charges it on campus. The screen and the Google map are great. This beats my 2016 Leaf and my plug-in minivan. Very good looking and very cool in blue. great deal for an EV - beats everything on the market for price, value, and safety.
