My last Equinox

Also, the 2024 Envision comes with all the features that were for the last few years in short supply. Everything from HD Surround version to Adaptive Cruise Control is now standard.

Good to know, thanks. My used 2020 has Surround Vision, the 360-degree camera system, but I would never have paid for that myself. Now that I've had it, like a heated steering wheel, I will always buy it. That makes parking in tight spaces far, far easier.

The original articles said the 2.0 L was only supposed to be eliminated for 2021 with a different 2.0L planned for 2022 and later. Then Covid hit.

Depending on which article you read, the 2.0L was only selected between 8% and 12% of the time. Switching to a single engine greatly simplifies the production and support tasks. Less training, less versions of sales materials, less owner and tech manual changes, less parts to stock, etc.

And you'll still keep 90% of the buyers happy. Even if GM has a customer like you and me who preferred the 2.0L, as you noted, GM just may still get the sale but just with a different model.

This is my issue. I had 2017 premier v6. Someone ran into it and totaled it a couple weeks ago. I want similar and not finding it with the equinox 2022-2025. Any suggestions? (I was so happy with what I had)

Please note that all 2024 Buick Envisions come with the 2.0L Engine; but I do not think it is the same version that you have in your Equinox. However, this latest Buick Envision 2.0L does have i228 HP + 258 lb-ft torque. Also, the 2024 Envision comes with all the features that were for the last few years in short supply. Everything from HD Surround version to Adaptive Cruise Control is now standard.

I think it's the same motor, only "detuned" slightly (252 HP down to 228 HP) to perhaps remove the "Premium Recommend" fuel disclaimer

I looked at the Buick Envision, and on paper the cargo area was about 10 cu ft smaller than the equinox. I liked the looks of it, but the size was a deal breaker for me.

The new LSY 2.0T is a totally different engine from the old Equinox 2.0T. Check it out here: https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lsy/

I believe the newer blazers have been using this 2.0T and it's been the base engine in the GMC Acadia since around 2021.

Pretty neat features on it IMO.

Thanks for the link and explanation. Interesting. Now the 'Nox "has an LS in it!"

I've been checking out the Envision when I go to the dealer for service. Not a bad looking car, but you pay for all those goodies.

All Buick offers is jelly beans on wheels these days like everyone else, but the whole Buick lineup looks good to me. I really like the look of the "cheap" Envista even. Problem is, they are only offered in FWD (like the Trax) and they use the 1.2T 3cyl with a wet timing belt that all the car forums are in an uproar over.
