2026 BMW X5 Reviews Summary | |
2026 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews SummaryThe Detroit automakers have focused more on their bread-and-butter full-size pickup trucks in recent years, but General Motors still has a balanced lineup that includes several crossovers aimed at the heart of the market. The 2026 Chevrolet Equinox competes with segment stalwarts such as the Honda CR-V and the Toyota RAV4 and is related to the more upscale GMC Terrain. It was redesigned for the 2025 model year, which means changes for 2026 are limited to a standard drive mode selector and a new Polar White exterior colour. Verdict: The Equinox does everything a compact crossover should, but it doesn’t set a new bar for the segment. | |
