The Chevy Equinox is a versatile compact SUV that offers everything from sporty styling to a spacious interior, a surprisingly crisp chassis, and lots of desirable standard features. The Equinox also provides a turbocharged engine and a myriad of optional features for shoppers looking to notch things up.
We’ve curated this article to help you choose between two popular options, the LS and RS trims, when leasing a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox.
The Equinox LS and RS
Like the rest of the lineup, the Equinox LS and RS are motivated by the same engine, a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a well-calibrated six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available on both trims. With the default front-wheel drive, both models get an EPA estimate of 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Upgrading to all-wheel drive drops the estimates to 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.
LS
The Equinox comes in four trim levels, and the LS is its base trim. While shoppers may not expect to see the crossover’s most fascinating features on display, the LS still offers some decent standard features, such as;
- 6-speaker audio system
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- 17-inch aluminum wheels
- Black lower window trim
- Forward Collision Alert

RS
The RS is the Equinox’s third trim and a popular choice for many shoppers as it offers virtually all the features of the top-tier trim while being less expensive. It also has all the features from the lower LS and LT trims, including LED daytime running lamps, deep-tinted rear glass, etc. Standard features on the Equinox RS are;
