I'm not a big fan of the manufacturers all making 17 different CUV's that vary in size by 1", but this refreshed Equinox looks pretty sharp. I like that they gave it a more aggressive appearance and added an RS option.
It's not too bad.

Ass end and side profile look great. Front end I would need to see in person.

I thought the previous front end had a 'Sprint commercial girl' friendliness to it.
This looks (bifocals?) worse to me, but I wasn't interested anyway. A buddy & his wife had tried a used older gen, I'm curious what they'd say. They used to complain that everyone seemed to have an Equinox. |

That dash, console and interior sure looks a lot like my '17 Impala...lol....Even the front end is sort of morphing into a chromey front like the Impala. All good. I just don't see much differences in any of these SUVs to get excited about. But, if Equinox is Chevy's best seller, good luck to them.

Wow, looks great, this car is going to continue to sell well. Did the GMC sister variant get a refresh too?

Trax = People trying to get in a cheap/small car but need AWD TrailBlazer= Seem deal with Trax but want a slightly bigger, more modern car with more style Equinox/Terrain= Midsize entry level SUV which does everything well and is priced well. Drives more comfortably than Trax and feels more like a SUV instead of lifted car Blazer= People that want something bigger and badder but don't need 7 seats ^^ A lot of Grand Cherokee folks in my area have switched up to the Blazer RS. Not surprised by that. .. Traverse/Acadia= People that want 7 seats and don't need body on frame, gas guzzling SUVS Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade= Self explanatory ... ... I just wonder how the TrailBlazer will fit in between the Trax and Equinox. If it is priced too high I'd imagine consumers who opt to save money will go for the Trax instead and those willing to pay a little more will move up the Equinox. But it remains to be seen. |

That actually looks much better than the previous version!

This is a good change. The added aggressive look on the front and rear are much welcomed. I like it for the most part. I've never had an issue with the interior. I was never a huge fan of the pre-refresh look.
I think this will go over well. Gives it more style without blatantly copying Blazer like the TrailBlazer does. Quote:

I'm glad Chevrolet is keeping the Equinox; Its popular and a good people mover.
Since its second generation the Equinox has had a pleasing exterior. However I really can't say much about this re-fresh. Perhaps the front end's refresh improved the look of the current model, but from the pictures the '21 doesn't look any different than the current model. Kudos on the interior, however. Keep the shifter where it belongs; Push buttons just don't cut it (with me).

It's sad that GM's second best-selling nameplate has such a low quality interior. I sat in a used Equinox at my local Chevrolet dealership, and the interior build quality was very disappointing (e.g., cheap and flimsy materials, especially on the door panels). The Toyota Rav-4 and Honda CR-V are far superior vehicles.
