Haven’t owned a Chevy since 2013. Got my RS a week ago and I’m absolutely loving it so far! Such a huge upgrade from my Jetta. :ok_hand::heart_eyes:

The interior difference from earlier models is wild.

My mom has a 2024 RS and even compared to that, it’s totally different!

Cool! I haven’t seen one in person yet, but it sounds like they did a great job with the refresh. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks, I’m totally in love so far! Only thing I don’t like is the high gloss piano black trim in the interior. It scratches easily, but that’s minor.

I just got an AWD 2025 Equinox. I absolutely love it. Same color, all black rims, and I got aftermarket lug covers to black them out completely. Now just waiting for caliper covers and fitted weather mats.

Congrats! :tada: Glad you’re loving it too. My RS came with the molded fitted mats for the seats and trunk, which was a nice bonus.

I’m thinking of upgrading to solid rubber weather tech ones though. Also, loving the 360 cameras—only thing I don’t like is the shifter.

Same here. I was planning to upgrade from my 2018 Equinox, but the shifter made me rethink and wait for the 2026 model.

I get that. I’m used to it now, but it was confusing at first. I had an old truck with a 3-speed on the column—now that was a learning curve!

Congrats! WAAAY better looking than the last iteration. Haven’t seen these yet. What engine options are available?

Only a 1.5 turbo with a CVT for FWD, or an 8-speed auto if you go with AWD.

Only engine available is the 1.5L. Not a fan of it personally.

What a shame. I’m not interested in turbo vehicles anymore after dealing with a blown transmission and the constant worry of a turbo failure.

I had a 2015 Equinox LTZ with the 3.6L and I really miss that engine. I’m not sure I’d go for the 1.5 again.
