Wallace B
Reviewed a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox on Jun 7, 2026
This car is just the right size for me! It’s a great value for the money. I purchased one with very low mileage. It’s an LT, All Wheel Drive, 2.0 liter engine, 9 speed transmission, and a Factory Trailer Hitch. So far it’s giving me over 33 miles per gallon highway and over 26 mpg in the city. The ride is soft but firm. I have plenty of room to haul things with the back seats folded down! I like this car a lot, and would buy it again!

Why it stands out
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox stands out as the last year of the third-generation model before a redesign, and it benefits from the maturity of that long-running version. By this point, the Equinox had settled into a formula built around a roomy interior, useful technology, and a compact-crossover footprint that made it easy to live with. It also earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 2020 and 2021, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it high marks across all model years except for early 2018 builds.
What makes the 2024 Equinox appealing is its balance of everyday practicality and modern equipment. It comes with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 175 horsepower, and it offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with wireless versions available from 2022. Chevrolet also added more standard safety equipment for 2024, which helps the SUV feel more current even as it approached the end of its run. Cargo space is respectable at 29.9 cubic feet behind the back seat and 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seat folded, though that maximum figure is less than many rivals.
There are tradeoffs, though. The 2024 Equinox is not the quickest version of the model, and the third-generation lineup lost its more powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine in 2022. It also has less cargo space than some competitors, so buyers prioritizing maximum utility may want to look elsewhere. Still, for shoppers who want a comfortable, well-equipped used compact SUV with a proven layout and broad appeal, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox remains an easy one to understand.
