Chevy Equinox Thoughts

[DesertClone1]

Hello Everyone,

I am currently in the market for a new car. I am looking at the 2024 Equinox Gas. Curious if anyone has one around the year I am looking at.

Do you use/need Apple CarPlay or Android Auto? Neither is supported in the new GM cars.

That seems like an odd thing for them to not include

this is 100% a myth

I do use Apply Car play... that's... interesting to say the least. It does come with Bluetooth, so that's really all i need honestly.

Both platforms are supported in new GM vehicles. I have close to 50 in stock right now all equipped with carplay/android auto. Unsure if what that poster was referring too

The 2025 gas Equinox still has Apple carplay and android auto, it's the EV that doesn't so far.

My mistake. They are ditching CarPlay on their EVs.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited for the day that you buy a new car but have to pay a monthly subscription fee to use all the features.

they will begin removing them from EV's. OP is looking at a gas vehicle

TBH GM already does that to a point with onstar and its kind of BS IMO

I was just about to say I bought a 2023 Chevy last year and it has Android Auto so would have been news to me if they did away with it.

Worse vehicle I ever owned … it was a 2012 though.

That day is kind of already here if you count using the app to do something like remote start your car, have to pay monthly for that.

I own a 2022 Buick Encore GX, which is essentially the same as an Equinox, as far as I can tell.

I like it quite a lot. I can't think of things that I don't like, at the moment.

In a way, yes. But will navigation be standard and not part of a subscription? Why pay for something that is essentially free on your phone? But now it won't integrate with your vehicle's display.

I don't care for the looks of the 2024 and previous Equinox, but the 2025 redesign looks nice.

I had a 2012 Equinox that was an absolute beast. I loved that thing. I then upgraded to a 2015 and loved that one as well. My wife had a 2017(?) and it was a great ride. We went with a Tahoe for a few years and then in February just downsized to a Traverse and we love it. Wish we would have waited for the 2025 model, but the 2024 works for us.
Never had any issues with any of them. Just maintain them as you should and you'll be fine.

I wish I could permanently disable the auto stop in my wife's 2018 Equinox. The amount of fuel saved cannot possibly be worth what's happening to the engine
