THINGS WE HATE ABOUT THE CHEVY EQUINOX EV

EV Channels Review

While the reviewers express significant affection for their 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, this video delves into the "dislikes" after nearly a year of ownership. Key criticisms include a severe dashboard glare issue, necessitating an aftermarket mat, and the steering wheel obstructing essential buttons like one-pedal mode. The center console is deemed invasive and driver-focused, with the passenger experiencing less ergonomic access to controls and storage. Connectivity and OnStar services are described as opaque and confusing regarding plans and costs. A major drawback for many will be the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, despite the built-in Android Automotive system. The 2LT trim lacks profile-based memory settings for seats and climate, a feature reserved for higher trims. Torque steer is noted, particularly on front-wheel-drive models, though it becomes less noticeable with familiarity. Rear seat comfort is described as firm, and the absence of a frunk is also highlighted as a negative. Despite these points, the reviewers reiterate their overall satisfaction with the vehicle, emphasizing that these are nitpicks rather than dealbreakers.
