The rear doors are massive, which helps rear passengers get in and out easily, plus the second-row seats fold nicely flat. A sunroof is available, and you’d want to consider springing for it: leaving it off means the cabin feels quite dark. The Midnight Edition continues the black-on-black theme into the interior, and while that’s understandable, I find it draws attention to the fact that the materials don’t look or feel especially nice in some places. If that’s something you’d sign up for anyway, then the tied-together pricing isn’t so bad.)

(For the record, the Driver Confidence and Convenience Package is $2,195 on its own and includes a power liftgate with dial height adjuster, dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, side blind zone alert, fog lamps, and a universal home remote. There’s something about the black that really draws out the curved accent lines in the door panels and the chrome accents on the windows. Every time I walked out my front door, I smiled when I saw this thing sitting in my driveway. For $1,995 more than the standard LT model – okay, $4,190 more, because you also have to add on the Driver Confidence and Convenience Package – the Midnight Edition has black metallic paint combined with a blacked-out grille and bowties, 19-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, dark-finish fog lamp bezel surrounds, and upgraded mirrors, upholstery, and seat memory settings. But this Midnight Edition? Different story. I don’t normally love black-on-black stuff, and I don’t normally find the Equinox especially eye-catching. There’s a stout list of competitors with all-wheel drive and similarly sized engines that do better. My average over the course of a week that was roughly 50/50 came out to 10.1. The Natural Resources Canada figures come in at 10.9 L/100 km in city driving, 8.3 on the highway, and 9.7 combined. On the other hand, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that the fuel consumption figures for this Equinox configuration are, within its segment, not great. But if you’re one of those who still does, here’s a car that offers it. Increasingly fewer SUVs offer this control, and perhaps that’s because it’s not something a lot of people want to think about. One upside of this powertrain is the hard button for toggling all-wheel drive. It’s a little on the noisy side, though – but that may be more a factor of the soundproofing not being as strong as in some competitors – and the gearbox feels to me as though it’s too eager to downshift early, but that only comes up every so often. It’s matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission and available all-wheel drive in this LT grade Midnight Edition.įor this car, I wouldn’t want any less engine than what the 2.0T provides, but this amount of power works. That leaves a buyer’s choices as the standard 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and the one equipped in this tester, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that’s good for 252 hp and 260 lb-ft. The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox had a diesel engine available, but that’s been discontinued for 2020.

It’s not the best compact, two-row SUV around in every aspect, but it is good at satisfying a family full of screen fiends. If it’s better technology features you’re after, the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox could be worth considering. Others care about style or value for money. Some people want their next vehicle to have better fuel economy. Where do you start?Ī good launching point is to have a close look at what features your family wishes it had. After all, everyone else seems to be doing it.īut there are just so many of them to choose from.
