2007 Chevrolet Equinox Review: A Decent Mid-Size, Low-Budget SUV

Gilbert Smith
Apr 12, 2023

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is one of those vehicles that doesn’t really excel at anything, it’s nobody’s dream car. But it does what it does well enough that you can’t complain. Mediocre fuel economy and excessive road noise aside, it’s one of the better vehicles in this price range.

Front angle medium view.
likeFilled The Good
Roomy, reliable, and packed with so many standard features that you probably won’t even bother looking at the high-end LT trim.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The Equinox is adequate across the board, but fails to excel in any particular area. The steering is numb and the engine is loud.

Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox a Good Used Car?

  • Overall Rating 7/10 – A decent mid-size SUV across the board.
  • Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – The only real complaint here: Excessive road noise. Other than that, it’s one of the more comfortable vehicles on the road.
  • Reliability 8/10 – Major issues are few and far between.
  • Safety 8/10 – Decent crash test scores and loads of standard safety features make the Equinox one of the safer mid-sizes of 2007.
  • Gas Mileage 7/10 – 19/26 miles to the gallon, city/highway, isn’t the worst fuel economy for a 2007 SUV, but it’s not great, either.
  • Value 7/10 – The Hyundai Tucson is the better value between the two, but we’re splitting hairs. If you can find an Equinox for under $4,500, that’s a hard deal to beat.

The vehicle is spacious for multiple passengers to fit comfortably.
My vehicle is very spacious to carry my children around town and to all of their sporting events. The back of the vehicle has plenty of room for all of their sporting equipment. The vehicle drives very smoothly, and gets good gas mileage.

It is a hybrid that uses electric motor and a gasoline engine.
I love the size and space. I do not like that sometimes I can't get my key out of the ignition no matter what I try.

A workhorse of a vehicle which you can drive for a long time.
Handling is phenomenal, to the point you can comfortably turn with one hand on the wheel as well as two. The vehicle is lightweight and can accelerate well. 2007 Chevrolet Equinox has ran reliably for 11 years, with no sign of letting up soon. One common problem with the model is that the key likes to stick when you go to turn the car off, often because the gear shift sticks in park, and the vehicle is registering the vehicle as still in drive. Rest assured, the car is actually parked, and it should just take a firm wiggle or two to the gear shift.

The brilliant blue color is awesome.
I love my car. I bought it used with less than 150k miles. The engine is smooth and changes gears with no problem. The color is a nice and pretty blue and it is so eye catching. I have got leather seats and they're heated. I am having some leak issues when it rains, but I can solve that problem. My remote start does not work and I am not sure what that issue is.

I recommend Chevrolet Equinox.
I have not had any problems with this vehicle since purchasing it used in 2012. I keep it maintained and it has been a great vehicle for the price. The only improvement would be better gas mileage. It does get the mileage per gallon as specified by manufacturer.

What Do Critics Say About the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

Consumer Reports were impressed with the interior space and competent V6 engine in the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, but they didn’t like the noisy cabin, the clumsy handling, the tilty, top-heavy build, the coarse-sounding engine, or the mediocre fuel economy.

Kelley Blue Book found the Equinox impressive in the power and interior space categories, and they liked the SUV’s muscular visual design, too. They didn’t like the numb feeling steering, and they found the interior design drab, contrasting with the bolder exterior.

Edmunds added to the consensus that the 2007 Equinox is a roomy, good-looking SUV, with lousy steering and some iffy interior design choices, noting the awkward control layout for the stereo.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Have?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox has 681 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. 156 of these are for fuel system issues, with a leading problem being fuel leaking from the top of the tank, this despite a recall for just such an issue in 2012.

Airbags have been a major source of complaint, as well, generating 145 complaints despite a pair of recalls in 2007. Drivers report occupant sensors failing to read passengers in the front seat, and airbag warning indicators going off.

Electrical issues make up 100 of the total complaints on file, with drivers reporting the car going into limp mode any time it rains. Drivers have also reported ignition failure, and instrument cluster going out at random.

The 2007 Equinox has just 4 recalls on file, which is on the lower end of average for an SUV in this model year.

How Long Will the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Last?

The 2007 Equinox is estimated to last a minimum of 200,000 miles with adequate care. Excellent maintenance may get you to 250,000. Past that you should expect expensive engine and transmission repairs to start piling up.

Repairpal estimate that the Equinox will run you about $416 a year in routine maintenance costs. The most expensive common replacement is a new camshaft at $558. Across the board, these numbers make the Equinox one of the cheaper 2007 SUVs to maintain.

accountCircle Kim M

For the most part this vehicle is reliable, I did have a problem with the bearings but with that being said it was I am sure normal wear and tear for the vehicles age. The sensors in the tires like to set off the stab track warning.

accountCircle Emily I

It is fairly reliable. The only problem it has is that the traction control light comes on randomly, but that may be because it is an older car.

accountCircle Bobbi G

Yes the engine was a problem and also it always heating up. The seats easily get stained. The middle where the cup holders are is not roomy enough I do not like the way it was organized.

accountCircle Tanya P

It seems to be reliable however the speedometer has been messing up and in order to have it fixed the entire dash has to be pulled and sent tom California.

accountCircle Mike P

One problem with the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is that the only door with a manual lock is the driver's.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology in the 2007 Equinox is better than you might expect of an SUV from this model year. iPod/MP3 options come standard with the 6-speaker CD player and sound system, and the LT model features an advanced navigation system.

Safety technology in the 2007 Equinox is, of course, dated by now, but generous for the model year. Anti-lock brakes and StabiliTrak stability and traction control come standard.

Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox a Good Value?

The 2007 Chevy Equinox is one of the better SUVs out there for the price. The LS model typically lists at around $4,683, while an LT will go for around $5,068. In this price range it’s competing with budget models that don’t offer nearly as many standard features.

Maintenance costs are nice and low, so your only real concern here is that it’s not the cheapest vehicle to refuel. It’s not terrible for an SUV in this size class, but you may find yourself skipping the occasional drive if you don’t feel like shelling out at the pump.

What are the Different Models of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is offered in just two trim levels, the base LS and the high-end LT.

With the entry-level LS you’re getting:

  • Remote keyless entry
  • CD player with 6 speakers, MP3 player, and iPod support
  • Anti-lock brakes and StabiliTrak traction/stability control
  • Cruise control

The top-of-the-line LT adds:

  • Leather wrapped steering wheel
  • Premium cloth seating
  • DVD entertainment system

What Engines Come In the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  • The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with a 3.4L V6 engine delivering 185 horsepower and 210 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission in front/all wheel drive, and it averages 19/26 miles to the gallon, city/highway.

What Colors Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

The 2007 Chevy Equinox is pretty comfortable. The biggest complaint you’ll find is that road noise can be a bit loud. But you’ve got 51 inches of rear hip room, the suspension rides nice and smooth, the seats are firm, and your passengers have plenty of room to stretch out and move around.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Have?

You’ve got 35 cubic feet of storage space in the back of the Equinox, and that expands to 67 cubic feet with the seats folded flat, which makes the Equinox a decent cargo carrier by mid-size crossover standards, capable of small furniture hauls if you find something you like at the thrift shop.

Centered wide dash shot

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox was the third year in the vehicle’s 1st Generation, which ran until 2010, when the SUV was redesigned to fit into the compact segment.

2005: The Equinox debuted with a 185 horsepower V6 engine and a fold-flat passenger seat.

2006: GM badges and black dashboard panels marked the Equinox’s second-year style-revamp.

2007: The instrument cluster got a redesign for 2007 with trip computers added to the mix.

2008: A 264 horsepower 3.6L V6 was debuted in 2008.

2009: The biggest change for 2009 was the addition of XM satellite radio.

How Does the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox Compare to the Competition?

The 2007 Chevrolet Equinox is a decent SUV that’s priced fairly and at least adequate in more areas than not. But, the class leader in this price range would have to be the Hyundai Tucson, which isn’t quite as powerful, but it’s more fuel efficient, and usually lists at about the same price.

On the other hand, the Equinox absolutely outclasses the 2007 Ford Explorer, which offers more horsepower but at the expense of steep repair costs, lousy fuel economy, and a higher sticker price.

The Equinox is a decent choice if you’re looking for a budget-priced mid-size SUV. There are plenty of better vehicles out there, but if you want a reliable crossover and you don’t want to break the bank, it’s not a purchase you’re likely to regret.

Great SUV for the price.
I have a 07 Equinox LT its been a great reliable SUV for the family. So far it is at 194k miles on it. The repairs I have had to do have been Alternator , Water Pump. The issues I have with it are the seat belts are noisy because of the plastic. Wheel sensors go out as well as headlights often. Door handles are kinda cheap and break easy although they are simple to fix. The major issue I have is in order to change your serpentinebelt you have to remove motor mount which is a stupid design. Also the biggest problem is the back 3 spark plugs on the engine. They are terrible to change hardly any space to get to them and the EGR valve constantly goes out and needs to be replaced. Best part about this vehicle is the coil pack it's one big coil instead of having to buy six separate ones for each spark plug which is a huge relief when compared to my other vehicles and it's cheap. Other then those issues it's been a great SUV.

Overheating and service traction control and/or stabilitrackissues.
I've noticed that slot of people have been having trouble wit their Equnox's over heating. I think there needs to b a recall on the wires/connector that go to the fans. Most seem to have a short in them. So check this 1st if yours is overheating. Also if your "service stabilitrack" light comes on and it starts running poorly for no apparent reason you should check the throttle body and the O2 sensers. If they are d***y for any reason this seems to happen. It will throw you off at first because one seems to have nothing to do with the other but it does. It starts running poorly because it goes into " safe mode" to protect itself. Just wanted to throw this out there to save time and money for someone else.

The Chevy Equinox the most reliable and safest vehicles for my family.
The performance of the 07 Chevy Equinox is great. It drives smoothly, you do not really feel bumps in the road. As far as I can tell, this vehicle is extremely reliable. I wouldn't be scared to take it cross country. The Equinox has gotten my fiancé to and from work in Louisville, Lexington, Elizabethtown, etc. It is gotten us to and from doctor appointments with no problem. It has several features such as seat belt latch sensors, cruise control, radio controls on the steering wheel, shows how many miles until you need to get gas, gives warnings on the dash if the roads are hazardous. The Chevy Equinox is a pretty comfortable ride. The seats lay all the way back, the back seats slid back to have more legroom for back seat passengers. There's a lot of cargo room. It also fits 3 car seats in the back with plenty of room in between each.

It might just be because my car is an older model but once I hit 80, my speed meter will start shaking and will eventually work its way to 120 when I could only be doing 40. Eventually it works its way back down to 0 but it takes it a while to do so.
