How reliable is a Chevy Equinox?

I’m thinking about getting a new Chevy Equinox, but I want to make sure I’m getting something that’ll last and that won’t cost me tons of money in maintenance every year. Is the Equinox reliable?

When you’re about to buy a new car, reliability is an important consideration. So how reliable is the
Chevy Equinox
? It’s a little better than average.
According to research conducted by RepairPal, the Equinox’s reliability rating is a 3.5/5.0. This rating places it 23rd out of 26 compact SUVs RepairPal ranked, which isn’t the best placement, but it still doesn’t change the fact that the overall rating is above average. Based on the vehicles surveyed, you should expect to pay around **$537 per year for maintenance and repairs, which is significantly less than the overall vehicle average of $652 per year.
When conducting their studies, RepairPal consider these metrics:
  • cost of repairs
  • frequency of repairs
  • severity of repairs
The Chevy Equinox earns above average reliability ratings, but your
car insurance
should do better than just above average. Let
