2014 Chevrolet Equinox Review: A Bland Small SUV With Old Technology

Dec 3, 2021

The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact SUV with a price range of $12,639 to $18,726. The Equinox is an average SUV in nearly every way, but nothing stands out in the extremely competitive market.

The Good

The 2014 Equinox has a higher quality interior than other compact SUVs, more passenger room in the second row, and a powerful optional V6 engine.

The Bad

The base engine in the Equinox is underpowered for an SUV. The technology and dash layout feel outdated, and the steering feels loose and disconnected.

Reliability ratings are above average, according to J.D. Power. The 2014 model has fewer owner complaints than the 2013.

It has a spare tire and comes with all the tools to change it.

I bought my vehicle in may of 2019 and the only problem I have had so fare is having to get new tires. I love my vehicle. It has a back up camera and is super comfortable to ride in. They give you a really nice spare tire and all of the tools to change the tire.

william M

Seems to be the most popular vehicle i see on the road compared to other suvs

The vehicle has four wheel drive which is nice in my area of the country. The gas mileage is a little low for what I think we could be at if the auto industries would quite fitting the government on it. Gives me the life of my oil and air pressure of my tires

Alberto C

It's spacious and saves on gas. Also it's tall for rainy days.

This vehicle is very spacious, it saves gas. Now the only negative thing I've seen is the front bumper, when you park seen it's low it seems to get stuck on the parking bar.

angella F

It has great fuel economy for those who drive a lot.

It rides nice. Has a lot of room for passengers. Has great fuel economy.

Vickie G

Chevy equinox, fun to drive.

Love our equinox. Fun to drive, reliable. Have not had any mechanical issues with it. Great gas mileage. The only thing we've had to replace since we purchased it is a battery. We have driven other makes of autos but Chevrolet has proven to be the best as far as performance and reliability.

Casey S

2014 Chevy Equinox favorite car I've ever bought

I've had no problems in the last 2 months I've owned the car. It runs and looks great. The back up cam, phone, and volume buttons are all new to me and really add great value. I love that the car doesn't allow you to connect your phone via Bluetooth while driving it's a great safety feature that you don't usually see. There is also a lot of room to be able to pack stuff in if you're taking a trip

Mary M

Perfect busy family vehicle.

My Chevy equinox is a great car. It is very roomy with lots of room for transporting things. It is very reliable. As a mom traveling to many different places for sporting events, I appreciate its excellent gas mileage. This is my 3rd equinox. It is perfect for our family!!

Cynthia A

Very smooth ride with very little road noise.

Very comfortable seating. Smooth ride. Drives really well. Minimal road noise and is such a smooth clean ride. No technical problems. Gets pretty good gas mileage. Wouldn't mind if gas mileage quality improved. Back seat and storage space are very spacious and comfortable. I have the sunroof and heated seats which I love. Seats are adjustable in many ways which makes it very comfortable to drive or ride. Reasonable prices.

I love the interior color and love how comfortable it is.

It is very comfortable inside! I have just had many maintenance issues. Also, with the black interior it makes the car really hot. I loved the car when I first got it but I was constantly having problems during the summer. I would recommend checking all the parts before you purchase this car.

Jasmine G

Chevy equinox is a failure of design.

Nothing but problems. Rear main seal blew after having it repaired. Got the seal fixed and it has now blown again causing catastrophic engine failure so a new car will need to be purchased. The car burns through tons of oil and has had multiple breakdowns. Exhaust is broken and o2 sensors are shot. Would not recommend it.

Caryssa R

I do like the backup camera and heated seats.

I have had a lot of issues with my car since buying it. Some small, others big. There has been this chugging that has taken forever to figure out how to fix and has ended up costing me more money than I’d like. The acceleration is also slower. In hindsight I would have bought an SUV with a v6 engine not a v4.

ron m

What I just said, great mileage, smooth ride and lots of storage

The smooth ride, lots of storage and great mileage

Rachel M

The car has to many blind spots.

The car really has to many blind spots. I cannot see very will when l am backing up. My model does not have a review camera, so I just hope for the best. It also has no airflow in the back, not the best for a family with small children. It does get very good gas mileage.

Christy N

This car is not for everyone.

I find it very uncomfortable to ride in. The windows are too high to reach out of. There are blind spots on both sides of the windshield. The armrest split within a year of having the car. The ride is just okay. The seats are not overly comfortable.

Ron C

Pros and cons Chevy equinox 2014.

Its room but seems to be having a lot of problem already that needs to be fixed on a routine basis. I do love the plush seats but it's already having a leak and only had it 5 years. The backup camera hardly works also. I wish the engine itself would have more power but other than that it's not a terrible car.

Breanna T

Fuel pumps are not great in this vehicle and there’s 3.

Have had to replace the fuel pump twice. People in the back are always the opposite temperature that the ones in the front are. Inside hatch cover keeps falling off. Volume on radio does not go high enough. Tires seem to be louder on the inside than most vehicles.

The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is an improvement over earlier model years with fewer problems than the 2013. Overall, the Equinox has an average number of complaints for a compact SUV.

A properly maintained 2014 Chevy Equinox will last about 200,000 miles, which is slightly shorter than other compact SUVs. Maintenance costs are also more expensive than some rivals. Repair Pal estimates them to be $475 per year.

Lee L

It is reliable. But I have had to replace brakes, ball hints, time chains all at one point for a vehicle less than 7 years old.

Ashlee S

I have not had any issues with this vehicle. I rely on this vehicle to get me where I am going. I would drive it across country.

roy j

I have not had any reel bad problems, I did have to replace the oxygen sensors at 60000 miles, I have always kept the oil changed on the recommended times.

Darlene K

Yes. Recently I had an issue with plugs or something, & the mechanic advised I really need to change oil when the light comes on. Another mechanic elsewhere told me I had more time before I needed an oil change.

Suzanne W

I have only had minor problems with my equinox. It is really reliable but does have some issues in the wonder getting up big hills.

Charlene D

I have had my equinox for two years and have had no major problems. I only had to do the basic maintenance and upkeep.

Penny W

Not really, it gets me where I need to be. The a gas works fine, the doors work, and it doesn't have any other problems

Andrew Z

I've had some issues with the oil, the breaks, and loud noises with the wheels. I've only had the car for a little over 3 months if that’s any indication.

Lori H on February 21, 2022

Nice SUV but many issues (2014 Equinox).

I'm a diehard Chevy girl, but this is one vehicle I don't think I could recommend. After 2 years, I have had to replace a cracked engine manifold, catalytic converter that was melted interally, an O2 sensor that was melted (thank goodness it was a GM issue and replaced for free), all 4 wheel bearings and sensors, and warped rotors. Not thrilled with the fact I have a L4 instead of a V6, would like to have had a bit more horsepower than what she has now. Also not too thrilled with the Stabilitrak and All Wheel Drive shutting off when ever the notion strikes it, especially when your driving on snow packed roads in Western New York. When it comes time for a trade-in, I won't be going for another Equinox, unless a dealership can prove without a doubt that the newer ones do not have these issues, and if it does, discloses that info and fixes is all.

Patricia S on June 25, 2021

My perfect fit automobile. A great choice.

I find my 2014 Chevrolet equinox to be comfortable to drive and reliable. Love the ease of getting into it. Love the look of it and driving it and the controls. Easy to use dashboard controls. Steering is responsive and accurate. Seating is comfortable and roomy.

Christy N on June 25, 2021

This car is not for everyone.

Elizabeth B on June 25, 2021

2014 Chevrolet equinox, Atlantis blue.

My Chevy equinox is an okay car. The ride does okay for short distances. Long trips I feel cramped and have back pain. My equinox is the basic version, powered windows and locks. Manual seat adjustments. Gas mileage is pretty good. Summer is 29 mpg and winter is around 24 mpg.

Lloyd S on June 25, 2021

Malfunction in the design.

The front bumper seems to be too low almost every time you pull into a parking space the bumper seems to catch the concrete barrier, so when one pulls out the bumper is dislodged. The motor seems to make a sound that any mechanic does not have an explanation for. Thus leading to a slower takeoff. This meaning we are less usage of the gas put in the vehicle. For a vehicle only being seven years old, well maintained and driven less 3000 miles a year it has been a disappointment.

Trevor L on June 20, 2021

A truthful Chevy equinox review.

Excellent compact SUV, with plenty of room for family. Great gas mileage that goes along with a sharp look. There are many models to choose from which allows the buyer to choose the option that fits their situation. Gm makes high quality products that you can believe in.

Kaz K on June 20, 2021

I love the backup camera!

This car has a very smooth ride and I love the back-up camera. There is lots of room to haul stuff. Love the Bluetooth features along with the hands free functions. Takes forever to warm up in the morning tho. Plenty of legroom in the back for my family.

Kory H on June 16, 2021

Rock the sox off your equinox!

This vehicle has always been reliable for me! It has required reasonable fixes and repairs along the way with time, but has never cause me any real trouble or sticky situations. I have loved it and my mom's older equinox model before this one. The only thing with the new models of the equinox is the blind spots are a little worse. But with the newer car sensor features and backup cameras in newer cars it is not as big of an issue.

Joanne A on June 15, 2021

Comfortable ride and style.

My SUV is comfortable to drive. I drive 45 min one way each day. I love the different seat adjustments. I like my climate control. I do not like the backup camera in this year. It is really fuzzy and hard to judge at night and in the rain. I have only had 1 problem in 2 years and that was with the oil. It tends to burn more do not wait until 5 percent or less to have it changed.

Hannah F on June 6, 2021

Budget-friendly, spacious vehicle.

My Chevy equinox has proved to be extremely reliable in the 2+ years I have owned it. I get 400+ miles per tank of gas. There is plenty of storage space for road trips with friends, beach days, moving, and I was able to purchase roof rails post-sale for additional roof storage (total cost of warehouse parts was about $1k). What the equinox lacks in luxury (my previous car had heated seats and a sunroof) it makes up in reliability, space, and comfort.

Heather H on June 5, 2021

Great diverse family vehicle.

Excellent vehicle, well suited for my small family of 3. Rides well for daily use commuting on the interstate. Has been perfect for long trips and vacations. Lots of space and easy to add remove car seats and booster seats from back seat. Back seat does fold down for transporting bigger items but does not quite lay flat, this is a minor annoyance and a drawback. Mileage has been fantastic, at 150,000 miles and no major repairs other than general maintenance and wear and tear type fixes.

Kenady H on June 3, 2021

All wheel drive and comfort is hard to beat.

I love my equinox! The gas mileage is fantastic. My seats come down in the back when I need more storage. Driving in the winter is amazing because I have all wheel drive. My seats are comfortable and stylish. My only complaint about my vehicle is the windshield. My windshield easily cracked when the weather got warmer not starting from a chip. It has only spread and now I need to replace it.

Heather P on June 1, 2021

Engine issues, sputtering, and clogged a/c.

When I first purchased the vehicle there was something that went wrong in the engine and my car immediately shut down. It was under warranty so thankfully it was fixed. Now my a/c and heat goes in and out. There is also slight sputtering when stopped. I read other reviews that said this would happen, but I didn't listen. The inside of the car looks really nice. There is open space in the front dashboard area to make you feel not so scrunched and everything is Bluetooth. I have a backup camera which is extremely helpful. All in all the car has been pretty good to me the last 2 years. I am not saying that I love it, but I don't hate the car.

Mona H on May 26, 2021

My equinox is a great, safe, beautiful car that runs very smoothly.

My equinox has never had any problems and super smoothly. I will definitely be using it for a while and definitely recommend. The price is great for the quality and the air and radio are great. The car runs on the road very well and my kids love it. I will for sure pass it on to my children one day. Luke I said before, I definitely recommend this vehicle.

Alfredo V on May 25, 2021

Good and reliable vehicle

Car runs great. Just don't like there's no air vents for the back seats. The gas mileage is good. Vehicle has been very reliable. The only improvement I can recommend is that Chevy would make the model with air vents for the back seats. Gets very hot in back during summer time.

Myeshia F on May 25, 2021

It's great if you have children. That was the reason I got it. I had an impala before and there was not enough room for my 2 children.

I love my equinox but the only thing that has been a problem are my brakes. There's something wrong with them and no one can figure it out. I even took to Chevrolet dealership and they didn't know.

Mark C on May 25, 2021

Comfortable, decent gas mileage responsive handling and acceleration.

I like how it handles. I also like the automatic or manual transmission. It is accelerates really well for a four cylinder. I do not like that none of the charging ports function if the vehicle is not running.

Becky H on May 25, 2021

Great vehicle and fuel saver.

Good fuel economy. Ugly color. Dependable. AWD. Needs air vent in back seat, heated seats. Needs window cleaning and fluid reminder.

Jessie S on May 25, 2021

The comfort of the equinox.

I love my Chevrolet equinox, the only issue I have had so far during the year I have had it, is that the wipers quit working on me. I also do not like that it does not have rear air. But other than that it drives smoothly; gets good gas mileage, comfortable, roomy, and perfect for anyone who has kids.

Abigayle Z on May 25, 2021

A four door SUV with 5 total seats.

Works great! Have had only one problem due to nature - small animal burrowed in my air conditioning tubes and chewed through, causing leaking through to the base of my car. Everything was taken out and dried, and new tubing was put in, and air conditioning works fine now!

Amber M on May 18, 2021

Perks of Chevrolet equinox.

I have never really had any issues. It has driven great ever since I got it. It is been very reliable and it is very comfortable. I love the touch screen radio, Bluetooth pairing with my phone so I do not have to use it to call, text, anything. The child lock is awesome and easy to use. I like my seats, they're cloth because I do not like leather. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone, especially if they have kids.

Madison E on May 18, 2021

Chevy equinox handles well.

The Chevy equinox drives great and handles fairly well. It sits comfortable in the front seats however the back is a little tight. It has great trunk space as well. The maintenance is not too costly but it does seem to often need work. All in all, it is a decent vehicle.

Reghan W on May 12, 2021

One of the best cars to buy for a family vehicle.

I love my equinox. Very comfortable to drive. I have over 140,000 and has needed limited inexpensive work along with regular upkeep. It is starting to lose power to automatic windows randomly but other than that it has been a great vehicle. Plenty of room to seat 5 comfortable and great space in back for things like luggage, groceries and traveling with dogs.

Breanna T on May 7, 2021

Fuel pumps are not great in this vehicle and there’s 3.

Lexi W on May 6, 2021

In a small summary my car is great and wonderful and I love it and I recommend!

I absolutely love my car! It is a fax guzzler, but a vehicles need gas and I am willing to pay for it. The upkeep has not been too bad. I notice I do have to frequently get my oiled changed is to be expected! But I love it! The reliability is super good! I can drive long distances and it will drive quite well! It does not overheat like my other cars have done in the past.

joe M on May 3, 2021

Chevy equinox is a SUV to purchase.

I have had no problems with my Chevy equinox, no maintenance problems. The driving is really comfortable and smooth and does not take much gas. The ride is smooth with hitting bumps as you do not feel them and driving in the rain and snow is excellent.

Michael C on May 1, 2021

Reliable, comfortable, multi-use vehicle.

This car is comfortable, easy to drive and feels very safe. The trunk is large and the car is able to fit bigger items when the back seats are fully folded. The performance has not changed over the time that I have had the car (6mo). The carplay feature is great because I enjoy listening to music from my phone as opposed to the radio.

Rogie D on April 30, 2021

Family friendly fun vehicle!

I love my equinox! I have had it for several years and it is very spacious and drives so smoothly. Have had very minimal problems. I keep it maintained as far as oil changes, tired rotations and regular maintenance. The one recall I had, I got fixed immediately and have had zero problems since.

Penny B on April 23, 2021

Extremely reliable & comfy family vehicle.

I have really enjoyed my equinox and it has been extremely reliable and drives great in the snow! I love the heated seats and there is a nice amount of foot room in the back seat. My only complaint would be that it is a little slow on its get up and go!

Jessica B on April 23, 2021

2014 Chevy equinox review.

Love the size and look. The interior and exterior are great, has all the features I want; leather, heated, power seats, sunroof, etc. But mechanically - I have had issues with this car since day one. Exhaust leak, bad o2 sensors, windshield wiper motor issues, etc.

Karly C on April 20, 2021

2014 Chevy equinox has not let me down yet.

I have had my equinox for a few years now, there are around 150,000 miles. My air conditioning did go out over last winter, I had it charged and it works perfectly. I had some type of belt replaced a couple years ago for around $200. I did buy the vehicle used so I do not have knowledge of how well it was kept before I bought it. Overall I love the size of the equinox, there is plenty of room for myself and my daughter and any storage we may need.

Brianna K on April 19, 2021

Great starter vehicle for young couple.

Love my equinox, always have. Having a child in our life now has presented the issue where we need a larger vehicle because the equinox is quite small when traveling. Never have I ever had any issues. I currently have black leather seats and I would advise against black leather as it gets very hot. Can be a bit loud when driving.

William L on April 15, 2021

Chevy equinox: good but not great.

My equinox is very reliable, I have had very few issues in terms of the car. I recently had to replace my driver side window because it was stuck in the down position. It gets good gas mileage and has good pick up. One of the major issues is that the a/c does not filter into the back seats very well. It is large enough to fit two large car seats and plenty of items that my kids need on a daily basis. It handled driving in the snow well.

Drew M on April 9, 2021

Very good car that is comfortable and drives well.

My car is very comfortable, it drives well and I like to use the eco mode which gives the car great gas mileage. In addition to driving well the car looks good and can be handled well in all weather conditions. There is adequate space to comfortably seat 5 people as well as ample trunk space.

Donna H on April 9, 2021

Extra door lock is located on center panel.Easy to locate and access.

None... Easy to handle in all road conditions. Very comfortable ride and driving maneuverability. Not a lot. Of maintenance so far. Comfortable ride. And seating..Easy to clean. And keep clean... Seats are very nice and great. Fabric. Color and upkeep is easy.

Harley M on April 7, 2021

A amazing family vehicle!

Great car. Absolutely love how much room we have for multiple people. Offers nice space for taller people. It is the ultimate grocery car, you can fit everything in the back. Barely any problems so far, besides timing chain and oxygen sensors. Would highly recommend!

Mike M on April 6, 2021

No problems with my equinox.

My vehicle has heated seats and is wonderful in the snow. The seats are comfortable and the vehicle's dashboard is laid out as so that the driver has easy access to all dashboard options. The vehicle is a very comfortable ride. I haven't had any problems with the vehicle so far.

Stacey B on April 4, 2021

I love how roomy the Chevy equinox is!

I love how roomy it is inside. Me and my daughters boyfriend are very tall and there is a ton of leg room in the front and back seat. The cargo area is also a nice size. For a car that is 6 years old it is very reliable. I have had no mechanical problems. It gets decent gas mileage. On average, it gets about 24 miles per gallon.

Halie G on April 4, 2021

Beginner friendly vehicle!

I got the Chevy equinox as a hand me down from my mother. I had previously driven the car when my other car was in service because it was really old. I love the rear view camera and displays in the equinox it makes it really easy to prevent accidents and future problems.

Serenity K on April 4, 2021

It is a great car if you have one kid.

It needs a tire rotation and a tune up. Also there is not enough space in the back for two car seats and one person. I sit in the backseat with my children and it is a tight squeeze. Gas mileage is okay. Other than that it is great. My husband can get to and from work perfectly fine in this car.

bill o on April 2, 2021

Very Reliable and at a great price , Dependable and would buy a Chevrolet again .

Love the equinox,lots of great features drives great.Never had a problem in the 5 years i have had it. Would recommend this vehicle, I feel this is a step down from a Buick . So it makes it affordable.

Erin W on April 2, 2021

It's a small suv. It's basically a higher, taller sedan. Very common vehicle.

I recently purchased this vehicle. It drives and handles great. My one complaint would be the blind spots.

Lisa B on March 31, 2021

My Chevy Equinox is a reliable and comfortable vehicle!

My Chevy Equinox is a comfortable suv. Has only needed regular maintenance. No major issues. It is stylish and has plenty of room for seating and for storage. Comes with many options to suit all you needs. I highly recommend this vehicle!

Kyle S on March 31, 2021

Great car that is extremely durable.

It is a really great car. It is durable, I have never had much issue with it, and extremely comfortable to drive. Everything works on it extremely well, despite owning it for so long. It is got great fuel mileage and excellent acceleration. Overall it is a great car.

Natosha G on March 30, 2021

Very roomy clean and smooth drive.

It is an amazing car plenty of room for my 2 car seats in the back and not having them kick the back of my seat huge trunk space I love it. The rear windows roll all the way down and my kids love it. Super smooth drive haven't had any issues with it since I got it in October.

Cal H on March 29, 2021

The greatest car in the world.

I love my car. It runs smoothly. I love the tires. I love the steering wheel. It runs so nice. It drives really fast. It is blue. The seats are comfortable. I love Chevrolet. I am very happy with my car. My car goes the fastest in the town. It is crazy how cool it makes me look. I am going to buy another equinox.

Michelle D on March 28, 2021

That the car is very common to see driven.

I like how it drives so smooth, easy to control, decent in gas, roomy, it has cruise control and plenty of room in the back seat. I wish I would've got a sunroof.

April L on March 28, 2021

2014 Chevrolet Equinox Review. Excellent on safety and comfort.

My vehicle has excellent gas mileage and is very inclusive with safety features. Sensors alert the drive to vehicles getting close on each side and it front. It also features a rear facing camera to have a larger viewing area when backing up. Bluetooth connection makes answering phones calls and streaming music much easier while driving. It also features heated seats.

Susan S on March 27, 2021

Good car like it do not love it.

The car is comfortable and drives well. I like the backup camera. It is not special and driver’s seat could be designed better. The mileage is pretty good. Cargo space is adequate. I haven't had any major mechanical problems. Tires for the car are expensive. Overall, li like the car but do not absolutely love it.

Good gas mileage and smooth ride. Plenty of cargo space in the back.

I like it because it is a bigger SUV. I like the color and it has low miles when I bought it. It was affordable, I felt I got a good deal. It has a lot of legroom for passengers sitting in the back seat.

Midsize SUV with large trunk. The size of the car is very comfortable.

My engine went bad after 5 years of driving with regular oil changes. I was told that this is common for this make and model. I had to have it completely replaced. They recommended I change my oil more frequently than recommended to avoid damaging new engine.
