Which Equinox generation should you buy?
2015 to 2017: cheap, with a catch
The second generation is roomy and very cheap used, but its 2.4L engine has a history of oil consumption complaints, mostly on earlier years.
2018 to 2024: the better choice
Smaller outside, more modern inside, with a 1.5L turbo. The 2021 refresh improved the looks and tech.
2025: all new
The fourth generation is bigger and more rugged-looking, priced close to new.

What should you check before buying a used Equinox?
- 2015 to 2017, 2.4L: check the oil level and ask how often it needed top-ups. This engine has a history of oil consumption complaints.
- 2018 and newer, 1.5T: check the coolant level and look for leaks. Coolant loss was a frequent owner complaint.
- All years: test AWD, read the full Carfax and run the VIN for open recalls.
Those are the Equinox-specific items. The general checks for any used car are in my pre-purchase inspection checklist, and before any money moves, run a lien check.

The Equinox is a lot of SUV for not much money. Buy a 2021 or 2022, check the coolant and the history, and price it below the Japanese rivals.
