Hello Edmunds! PLEASE MAKE A CORRRCTION: In thr LEAF settings there is a "Remeber Last Drive Mode" which, if you turn the car off, the eStep will be on when you turn it back on. While irs not on by default ita very simple to activate.

I drove an Equinox LT AWD recently and loved it. It rode exceptionally well, and in AWD form had great power. One of the few modern cars that almost seems like a good deal.

We bought a 2025 Equinox EV RS, we really like it and....I can fit 4 sets of golf clubs in the back with the seats up!

I'm anxious to see a comparison of the Leaf vs the new Bolt. I hope you will do a video on that!

The Leaf foam divider is not the battery.

We got an Equinox LT2 AWD for the family this year and we love it. We did our first roadtrip for Thanksgiving and it was amazing.

I like the host's energy. She makes the review more enjoyable than it has any right being.

Gimme a $26k Leaf with none of the bells and whistles. Less things to break and cost money to repair. Thank you very much.

The one pedal controls on the equinox is a button on the screen . It's always there on the left of the big screen.
