The Chevrolet Equinox has reached a new level, at a time when competition in the compact crossover segment has intensified. As a result, this new generation is much better than the previous one, especially the overall build quality. If you choose the Premium trim, it’s surprisingly luxurious. No matter which version you want to get on a Chevy Equinox lease, the crossover is well composed on the road and easy to drive, even in tight urban environments.

Be behind the wheel and take complete charge. The Equinox SUV offers intuitive technology that integrates perfectly with your compatible devices, so you are kept updated wherever you go.

Engine

The standard engine for the Chevrolet Equinox is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It produces 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Variable valve timing saves fuel and gives you more power when you need it to pass on the highway, climb hills, etc. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard.

Trims

The Equinox is available in one of four versions: L, LS, LT and Premier. With the L, standard features include halogen headlights, LED daytime running lights, electrically adjustable side mirrors, sun-absorbing glass, 17-inch aluminum wheels, 7-inch color infotainment touchscreen inches, USB port, power windows/locks, front bucket seats, fold-down rear seats, carpet-covered front floor mats, multi-function steering wheel, rear-view camera, OnStar and Teen Driver system to encourage the driver to adopt safe behavior.

Upgrading to the LS means you get everything on the L, plus a 16-inch spare tire, carpeted rear floor mats, the ability to add all-wheel drive and several option packs.

When you choose the Equinox LT, the crossover also features a deep tint for the rear window, HID headlights, attachment points for roof rail sleepers, satellite radio, power driver’s seat and levers unlocking the rear seats.

Finally, the Premier adds front fog lights, LED headlights/taillights, indicators integrated into the side mirrors, chrome roof racks, 18-inch wheels, an 8-inch color infotainment touch screen, two USB ports, two-zone automatic climate control, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, remote start and universal garage door opener. Also, rear cross-traffic assistance, rear parking assistance and blind-spot alert are included in the Equinox SUV.

Interior Features

The basic color palette for the interior of the Equinox is jet black, but depending on the trim you select, medium ash gray or a combination of jet black with brandy is available. Overall, the cabin is modern and functional, with a dashboard layout that has few physical buttons that are arranged logically. The group of gauges is quite easy to read, while the standard touch screen is positioned at a good height for glances. Navigating the infotainment menus is somewhat intuitive, which means you have to get used to the system while parked before trying to use it while in motion.
