The replacement for the CR-V arrived today...
Now, if you weren't looking close, you might think it is the same white SUV. If you are a Chevy person, you'll recognize it as an Equinox Midnight Edition (blackout grille, 19" black gloss wheels, black mirrors, black Chevy "bow tie" front and rear. Leather interior, all the safety features the CR-V didn't have (lots of tech in the last few years), infotainment center, built-in navigation, Apple Car Play, and a bunch of other stuff that we're going to have to learn how to use (lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, collision alert, etc).
As far as those "big three features" mentioned in a earlier post, it has the 2.0 turbocharged engine, 9-speed transmission, and trailering package (including tow/haul). The fact that it is white (a crisper white than the Honda, which will match the motorhome better) is a bonus. It is a little longer in wheelbase and overall length compared to the CR-V, but it will still keep us at a legal length when double towing.
After all the back and forth with Progressive, we are satisfied with their final valuation. If it hadn't been for the hail, I would have been content with the CR-V for years to come... but I have to admit this Equinox equipped like it is seems to be a nice step up.
