Your First SUV

When you decide to start your family, it's often time to upgrade your vehicle as well. A compact SUV with an outstanding safety rating and plenty of flexibility is what you need-and you should see the 2024 Equinox. Rated #1 for "New Vehicle Quality" for the past two years by JD Power, Chevy's compact SUV puts the safety and comfort of your family first. The advanced safety and driver assist features give you confidence when you're dealing with the town's growing population which has added to the vibrancy and diverse nature of the area but also the traffic. The standard Chevy Safety Assist suite offers six technologies to give you an extra set of eyes when you're behind the wheel.

One aspect that draws many families to Chevy and the Equinox is its combination of high safety ratings, reliability, and standard Teen Driver mode. While you might have little ones now, they will grow up, and getting peace of mind when they start to head out on their own is invaluable. Teen Driver mode really sets the Equinox apart from many other compact SUVs in its class, as this intelligent tech helps your teen develop safe driving habits and allows parents to set levels for things like stereo volume and speed. You can view a digital progress report to help your teen become a safe and responsible driver.

The flexibility of the 2024 Equinox is another feature that makes it a winner for families. Enjoy a roomy cabin with seating for up to five people, with plenty of space for everyone to have their own comfort zones. A split 60/40 second-row seat can fold flat so you can use all of the Equinox's 63.9 cu.ft. of total cargo space. Smart hidden floor storage under the rear cargo allows you to keep valuables hidden from prying eyes, or keep things like a roadside repair kit or first aid kit on hand.

The compact nature of the Equinox makes it ideal for urban and suburban dwellers who might have to deal with things like limited parking, busy streets, and smaller spaces. 

Room to Grow

Maybe you need something a little larger than a compact SUV, and Chevy has the impressive Traverse to meet your needs. We love that, while the 2024 Traverse is considered midsize, it offers three rows of seats and a lot of versatility for growing, active families. Seating for up to eight passengers means that, if you don't have every seat filled and want extra storage space, it's not a problem; a max 98.2 cu.ft. of cargo space lets you tote sports gear, school projects, luggage, groceries, etc. In the Traverse, there's room for it all.

The 2024 Traverse features an available power-folding third row for additional convenience. Parents with small children will really enjoy the second-row Smart-Slide seat that gives you convenient access to the third row even when a child's car seat is in place. Smart storage throughout the cabin makes it easy to keep essentials, extras, or valuables on hand and hidden securely. A Hands-Free Power Liftgate opens with the tap of your foot, so if your hands are full, you don't have to drop everything.

The Traverse is great for the casual everyday commute to work and school, but it also likes to impress on the open road. A 3.6L V6 engine offers plenty of power, and the Dial Mode Selectors lets drivers update the performance of their vehicle with the turn of a switch; this is perfect for Ohio weather, which can change in the blink of an eye.

For nature-loving families who like to spend weekends camping at Adler Farm or want to go hiking at Scioto-Grove Metro Park, they can upgrade their Traverse to suit their lifestyle with all-wheel drive and an available Off-Road mode for increased torque when tackling uneven terrain.

When you want comfort and style and an SUV that can keep up with the demands of your busy family life, the 2024 Traverse excels while other midsize SUVs fail to keep up.
