3 generations of the Chevrolet Equinox rated, newest first.
18-21
The 3rd gen Equinox added turbocharged power and modern safety tech, but the 1.5T LFV engine has documented oil consumption and piston issues, the same concern that followed GM's small-displacement turbos into this generation.
10-17
The 2nd gen Equinox made the necessary safety upgrades and added a proper 4-cylinder, but the Ecotec LE9's oil consumption and piston ring issues keep it ranked below the Japanese competition.
05-09
The 1st gen Equinox is primarily here for completeness, its reliability, fuel economy, and safety scores make it difficult to recommend except at rock-bottom prices to a mechanically savvy buyer.
