Chevy Equinox: The Small SUV for Your Big Adventures
The right compact crossover can make all the difference. But, with the segment as crowded as it is, the right one can be a challenge to find. Fortunately, Elizabethton and Jonesborough drivers have access to the versatile and capable Chevy Equinox. With comfortable seating for five, abundant cargo capacity, loads of features, and style for days, it’s an excellent choice for smaller families, daily commuters, and weekend adventure seekers.
Chevy Equinox Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Equinox gets its power from a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. With the base engine, the Equinox achieves EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. LS, LT, and Premier trims also have the option of all-wheel drive for added grip in a variety of conditions.
Kingsport drivers looking to add more power can option the available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Matched to a 9-speed shiftable automatic transmission, it provides extra motivation, to the tune of 252 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. From winding back roads to highway straights, the Chevy Equinox offers excellent capability and balance. And, with its composed cornering and on-center tracking, driving in the Equinox is both confidence-inspiring and enjoyable.
Chevy Equinox Interior
Inside its well-built cabin, the Equinox offers spacious and supportive seating, versatile cargo space, and technology to keep you connected and entertained while on the go. It delivers 30 cubic-feet of cargo room behind the second row, and the 60/40-split folding seats fold flat on one or both sides to reveal up to 64 cubic-feet of maximum cargo capacity.
No matter the exterior conditions, the Equinox offers available interior features to keep you comfortable, including dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a sunroof. Stay in touch without losing focus on the road, thanks to intuitive technologies like standard 7-inch touchscreen infotainment (upgradeable to 8-inch), Bluetooth connectivity, LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
