Turbocharged Power and Fuel Savings
A turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-four powers all Equinox models, producing 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. That's plenty of punch for merging onto the highway or passing slower traffic on your commute. Front-wheel drive models pair the engine with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), while all-wheel drive versions get an eight-speed automatic transmission. The AWD option is a smart pick for Miami Valley winters, giving you extra grip when rain, snow, or ice roll in.
FWD models offer an EPA-estimated 27 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while AWD versions return around 25 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Either way, you'll be filling up less often, and your wallet will thank you at the pump. Schedule a test drive with us to feel that turbo kick for yourself.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
The driver information center is an 11-inch digital screen, while the infotainment system across all trims is an 11.3-inch LCD display with Google built-in. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as is Wi-Fi hotspot capability. That means your music, maps, and messages are always within reach without plugging anything in. A "Hey, Google" voice command lets you adjust climate settings, find directions, or make calls while keeping your hands on the wheel.
Wireless charging is available on the LT and standard on the RS and ACTIV, and front and rear USB ports come standard on every model. For long road trips with the family, the available Bose seven-speaker audio system makes every playlist sound better.
Safety You Can Count On
Every Equinox comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver assistance features that includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and IntelliBeam automatic high beams. These features work together to help you stay aware, especially during those hectic rush-hour stretches.
Available features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and HD Surround Vision, depending on the trim level. The Equinox's strong body structure and eight standard airbags help protect you and your passengers. With over 15 driver assistance systems available, you can head out on any Ohio road with a little extra confidence.
