The 2.4L is not the fastest in the world, but it gets the job done. On the highway, driving from Chicago to Detroit, I averaged 26 to 28 MPG, according to the onboard computer, and had all the power I needed to merge, keep up with traffic and pass when needed, all without high RPMs. Overall, the Equinox has quite good reliability whether the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine or the 3.6L V6. The reason that I bought this particular car was the V-6 engine and the premium Pioneer sound system. No squeaks, no rattles, no problems, no repairs. It is now two years later, and I am still very happy with this car. The chart below illustrates exactly how this ranks compared to some other cars, but the average overall rating is 57 as some comparison. I have not noticed that in my Equinox, and wonder if that has to do with the fact that the 4-cylinder Equinox has electric power steering, while the 6-cylinder has hydraulic power steering.) BTW, my gas mileage with the V6 has been HIGHER than the EPA estimate - even during break-in. Overall the Chevrolet Equinox reliability is 38.95 and that makes it not very reliable. (On that latter point, I have seen comments about less than precise steering & handling. Acceleration is great, it is comfortable and quiet, and it drives and handles well. I now have 600 miles on the vehicle, and am very satisfied. According to Repair Pal, expect to spend about 465 per year on maintenance. The repair costs also increase as the vehicle gets older. There is a drain plug and refill port making it easy.īased on Internet reviews and comments, I bought a 2014 1LT Equinox with the 6-cylinder engine. A 2015 Chevrolet Equinox should be able to last 150,000 to 200,000 miles, based on earlier years of the vehicle reaching that mileage. Change transmission fluid every two years.
After all, you’re probably looking to get the most bang for your buck. Last updated: Crossovers & SUVs How many miles can a Chevy Equinox last When you’re in the market for a new or second-hand Equinox, that’s a very reasonable question. Uses about half quart oil between changes. How Many Miles Can A Chevy Equinox Last (+Reliability Scores) By: Stefan K. I now change oil around 4000 miles, which is 50% oil meter. Changing oil at 4000-5000 miles hopefully to avoid the major engine failure. Feb 2019 replaced front struts\sway bar links and rear shocks in 2018. Appears to be no oil usage in 5000 mile oil change. One time oil usage issue has not occurred again. Originals had too much fade under hard braking. Upgraded front brakes to drilled slotted rotors for better braking at 30000 miles. 2014's had internal engine revisions to slow down piston rings issues. As of Feb 2018 vehicle used 1 to 1.5 qts oil in 3000 miles. Cleaned throttle body and new spark plugs at 50,000 miles. After hearing about some internal engine oil passage ways being a little undersized subject to restricting oil flow causing early timing chain failure I started changing oil at 5000-6000 miles. Only complaint is a leaking rear shock which was replaced under warranty. The Equinox is "medium sized." MPG in normal driving is 24, highway 28. I have owned minivans, big suv's, and cars.
