It was a lease vehicle though as it made sense while I was working. When the lease expired I replaced it with a 2016 'Nox on a lease as well as I was still working. When the lease came up in 2019 I had planned on purchasing a 2019 LTZ 'Nox, however when I attempted to get into it, it wasn't comfortable at all. I'm 6'8" and some of the changes between the 2016 and 2019 left me without enough room to comfortably drive it. So I purchased my 2016 at the end of the lease and I did save a lot of $'s as mine had all the bells and whistles, including the Sunroof option, and that would have bumped up the price on the 2019. The one thing that disappointed me with the 2016 is it was one of the few models of Chevy's that didn't get the upgraded infotainment center with support for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.What prompted me to go for the 2025 was the possibility of increased prices with potential tariff's. In addition, I really wanted all the new technology, and best of all I FIT! It didn't hurt that the dealer gave me $9000 for my LTZ on trade-in as well, so I went with the AWD RS.At 72, there is a good chance this may be my last new purchase and I have no regrets. I'm enjoying all of the technology (Especially now that I've had the upgrade for the Universal Remote option), to me the ride is much smoother than my 2016 was, and I still love the overall look and feel of the Equinox. What I haven't figured out yet though is others are referencing the parked video viewing option and the possibility of recording video on a USB drive (aka Dashcam). I have been unable to find either option after the upgrade.  With regards to the sound system yes, it's no where near as robust as the Bose system I had in my 2016, but then again, at 72 the old ears ain't what they used to be and the fact that I can now listen to my music via CarPlay and Apple Music is such a plus I can live with it.  One of my biggest complaints with the 2016 was the fact that if I was listening to my music via Bluetooth, after shutting off the 'Nox and then starting back up on my next drive it wouldn't automatically connect back to my phone it would switch back to either Serious XM or FM depending on what I had last listened to, so I would have to reestablish the connection to hear my music. With AutoPlay, when I get back in the 'Nox it just picks up right where I left off with my song.</blockquote>
