The Equinox has earned a good reputation for safety, with four- and five-star federal ratings plus top "Good" ratings from the IIHS in all categories, including the tough small overlap frontal test for this year. Chevrolet is now also offering tablet holders that attach to the rear of the front seats. You also get plenty of cubbies for smaller items, as well as a deep center console and two wells, a retractable cargo cover, and a stretchy net all good for grocery bags between the two deep cargo wells in back. In that respect, the Equinox feels designed for the ins and outs of family use, with a rear bench that can slide fore and aft, offering up to 31.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the seat still up, or nearly 64 cubic feet with the seatbacks flipped down.įront seating is quite good and the driving position is excellent and car-like, while back seats have enough space for two adults to sprawl out into, with decent legroom, and the seatbacks are adjustable for rake.

The Equinox is offered in a streamlined lineup of L, LS, LT, and LTZ models the L will likely be fleet-minded and is front-wheel-drive only, while the rest of the lineup offers available all-wheel drive. Both that engine or the available 301-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 come paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 2.4-liter direct-injection inline-4, making 182 hp, is one of the most fuel-efficient engines in its class-and plenty quick for most family needs, while it renews its 32-mpg EPA highway rating in front-wheel-drive guise. What's under the hood doesn't change this year, and that's fine. Fabrics have been redesigned on the L and LS models while there's a new Saddle Up interior color. As for the interior, the Equinox gets an equivalent brightening, with new chrome shift buttons, new graphics for the instrument panel, a redesigned center stack with a new storage shelf. Otherwise the Equinox continues with essentially the same handsome sheet metal and profile it's had since 2010-which has aged quite well, considering. The top LTZ gets new fog lamps, while V-6 models get chrome exhaust outlets additionally new wheels, revised lower fascias, and more brightwork all around serve to update the look. Chevrolet vehicles have been given a new dual-port grille design over the past couple of years, and now the Equinox steps in with the rest of the lineup accompanying the new grille is a more sculpted lower front fascia design, as well as new reflector-style headlamps on all models, with LED running lamps on the LT and LTZ.
