Vehicle Overview
Small crossovers face stiffer competition than any other automotive segment, but Chevrolet continues to distinguish the Equinox, which has earned a reputation for a handsome aesthetic, a fun and refined driving experience, a roomy interior and strong fuel performance. The 2021 Chevrolet Equinox now available at Courtesy Chevrolet does not arrive with any major changes. A mid-generation makeover that was planned for this season got bumped a year due to the unexpected logistical challenges of 2020. Nevertheless, Chevrolet has still managed some minor tweaks, including expansion and refinement of both the standard equipment and the available options for all four trims: L, LS, LT and Premier.

Exterior - 2021 Chevrolet Equinox
The current-generation Equinox available at your local Chevrolet dealer serving Phoenix Avondale Scottsdale Chandler has a 107.3-inch wheelbase and measures 183.1 inches long. Similar to many vehicles in its class, it measures 72.6 inches wide and 65.4 inches tall and has a minimum ground clearance of 7.6 inches. The L and LS feature keyless entry, automatic headlamps, LED daytime running lamps and heated mirrors. The up-level LT upgrades the headlamps to xenon and gives you the option of the Confidence and Convenience group, which is popular for the power liftgate it adds. The Premier is the only trim to feature a power hands-free liftgate and adds LED headlamps and taillamps.
