Chevy unveils 2025 Equinox

These days, given customer preferences and the current state of our car market in this country, the announcement of a new Equinox is as important to GM’s bottom line as was rolling out a new Impala back in the day. Playing in the murderously competitive compact crossover segment, the Equinox represented a huge chunk of Chevrolet volume in the 2023 calendar year. Shifting 212,701 units, it was the largest seller – by a wide margin – of any model not named Silverado. Save for that pickup truck, the next best-selling rigs were the Malibu (oddly) and Traverse at roughly 130K and 123K units, respectively. New sheetmetal headlines the ’25 changes, with LT and RS getting their own front fascia treatments plus an Activ trim shown here in the light green. This ‘nox is 2.3 inches wider than the old one and all but identical in length/wheelbase, showing up for duty in a set of clothes inspired by the brand’s truck line and taking much from the handsome new Traverse.

It starts with a rev-happy yet smooth 2.0-liter turbo-four with mild-hybrid assist that puts out 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and extends to the car’s sporty and sharp handling – handling that never sacrifices ride. It’s on the stiff side, sure, but acceptable even on Chicago’s pockmarked streets. The steering is a bit heavy and artificial in feel, especially on center (even in Sport and Sport+ modes) but the turn-in is precise and mid-corner corrections are generally not needed...

Rare Rides: A 1996 Infiniti J30, Luxury Sedan With a Heart of 300ZX (Part I)

The other day while we were reviewing the daringly spectacular first generation Q45, commenter SSJeep requested coverage of Infiniti’s other rear-drive sedan from the period, the J30. I thought Rare Rides already covered Infiniti’s mid-size offering, but it turned out I was remembering an installment of Buy/Drive/Burn. That means it’s time for J30. At launch, […] The post Rare Rides: A 1996 Infiniti J30, Luxury Sedan With a Heart of 300ZX (Part I) appeared first on The Truth About Cars . via Autobuzz Today
