When you’re searching for a compact SUV that achieves the ideal balance between style, versatility, and value, you don’t need to look any further than the Chevy Equinox. The sleek crossover boasts a nimble chassis and is filled with standard and optional equipment. Read on to learn more about its latest incarnation for the 2023 model year!
Power and Performance
Achieving responsive performance and excellent fuel economy at an EPA-rated 31 MPG highway, a turbocharged 1.5L inline-four engine motivates every Equinox with 175 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. The six-speed automatic transmission that its paired with is electronically controlled and offers overdrive.
On pavement, the Equinox’s well-tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and four-link rear suspension keep the vehicle poised when encountering especially tight turns. Chevrolet’s available all-wheel drive system means navigating through inclement weather and uneven terrain is a breeze. Powerful e-boost brakes quickly bring you to a stop and come enhanced with noise-reducing materials and a special corrosion-resistant treatment.
Interior and Amenities
Just like the Equinox’s exterior, its cabin sports an attractive design with its sweeping lines and clean look. The materials used in its construction are durable yet pleasant to touch. There’s ample room for every passenger to stretch out, and those seated in the rear can enjoy nearly 40 inches of legroom. The Premier trim comes standard with perforated leather upholstery, heated seating, a heated steering wheel, and driver memory settings.
The 29.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row is impressive, but if you still need more, the 60/40 split-folding seats can be folded down to provide 63.9 cubic feet.
Infotainment
Running the widely praised Chevrolet Infotainment 3 software on a 7-inch touchscreen or optional Infotainment 3 Plus on a high-definition 8-inch touchscreen, the Equinox’s multimedia system provides easy access to a plethora of useful and fun apps. Along with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the system offers voice-activated navigation, a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and Bluetooth streaming audio.
Cloud personalization for infotainment settings allows you to save your preferences and transfer them to other vehicles in your garage that have been equipped with the same system.
Safety
You can count on the Equinox to help keep you and your passengers safe because the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has awarded it a five-star safety rating. The crossover SUV has a number of standard assists, including a forward collision alert with automated emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, and Chevy’s Teen Driver feature, which allows parents to more easily monitor their teen’s driving habits.
The standard rear seat reminder aids in ensuring that small children won’t be left unattended inside the vehicle by mistake.
As you can see from its long list of amazing features, Chevrolet’s Equinox is quite the bang for the buck! Head down to Lithia Chevrolet of Redding today and check it out for yourself!
