The materials are great, and everything you touch feels soft and expensive. The control graphics have been updated last year, and thankfully, they haven’t been changed, because they were superb. It has a great flowing design through the entire center stack, as well as dashboard. But in all honesty, we, as well as most other reviewers, didn’t feel like it needed a change. Given that we probably won’t see brand new generation Equinox for two to three years, Chevrolet has done an amazing job ensuring the current generation car won’t lose any of its appeal during that period.Īnd while the exterior received plenty of changes, the same can’t be said for the interior. In updating it, Chevrolet has pulled off one of the hardest things to do when it comes to a redesign: keep the old vehicle’s spirit intact. It hasn’t lost any of its charismatic charm the old SUV had. Perhaps the biggest achievement is the fact that the 2017 Chevy Equinox still looks exactly like an Equinox. The V6 exhaust tips have been changed too, but they still emit the same glorious soundtrack.
CHEVY EQUINOX 2015 REDESIGN LICENSE
Below them, there’s a new appliqué for the license plate resting on a lower bumper which is built from the ground up. The first thing you’ll notice are the new taillights which have a dual-element design. The rear of the Chevy Equinox hasn’t been modified as much as the front, but it does have a few nice elements. There’s the new projector headlights with LED daytime running lights for the LT and LTZ trims, brand new fog lights as well as a new grille which is noticeably larger than before. For example, front end features most of the recent changes. It looks exactly like a midsize SUV should.

Most of the people who buy it aren’t looking for something overwhelming. It’s not an aggressive design, but then again, it’s not supposed to be. The exterior of the 2017 Equinox is bold, but in an elegant and understated way. In a world where manufacturers rarely listen to customer feedback, we can’t praise Chevy enough for that. They listened to the customer’s feedback, leaving all the positives aspects of the vehicle and changing those which were deemed to be inadequate.

The exterior looks a lot fresher and the interior design is more appealing and cleaner, with less clutter.The overall result is a SUV looking much more youthful, attracting a younger and wider audience, which was Chevy’s goal from the beginning. The LTZ trim is renamed to premier, and the LT receives two option packages (Midnight package with black wheels, paint and exterior accessories, and Sport package with the same wheels, accents and leather, but different white paint). Chevrolet took what was already a great midsize SUV from 2016, and tweaked it so that it’s even better. The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox is more of an evolution rather than a revolution. But you know what they say, small changes can add up to make a huge difference. The 2016 model saw few changes, and the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox follows close, building on a successful platform with subtle tweaks. 5 years later, in 2015, it got another large upgrade, this time leaving the rest of the class in its dust. To fix that, Chevrolet gave it a major redesign for the 2010 year which improved the SUV significantly. The SUV was well received, but it never gained instant popularity, at least not as much initially as some of its rivals.

We first saw the Chevrolet Equinox in 2005, when it had its big debut.
