Holding the keys to the 2024 Chevy Equinox is a momentous occasion because you will become the proud new owner of the renowned SUV that any aspiring car shopper should consider.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox has everything Pataskala drivers need: amazing fuel efficiency, a spacious cabin, and stellar cargo space. Before you head out to a Pataskala Chevy dealer like ourselves to see one in person, we want to give you a rundown on what the 2024 Equinox has to offer-so buckle up and let's get going...
A Money-Saving Turbo Engine
The 2024 Chevy Equinox has a turbocharged 1.5L I-4 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. This works in favor of Pataskala residents because rock-solid fuel efficiency means you're traveling north, south, east, or west with more money in your pocket, whether you're staying local and grabbing a bite to eat on South Main or East Broad Street, or you're taking a trip to Columbus.
You won't have to worry about Route I-70 gnawing through your fuel tank as pronouncedly as you once did. With the 2024 Chevy Equinox, the half-hour trip to Columbus may easily be the cheapest thirty-minute drive you've ever taken.
What can you expect from the 2024 Chevy Equinox, statistically speaking? The turbocharged 1.5L I-4 engine outputs 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, with a towing capacity of 1,500 lbs. You'll have the option between FWD and AWD, the latter of which Pataskala residents should greatly consider owing to the cold and often snowy, icy roads in the winter months. The drivetrain your 2024 Equinox has will affect the fuel economy ratings and a couple of other aspects, such as fuel tank size.
With 2024 Equinox models operating under the front-wheel drivetrain, this SUV gets EPA-estimated ratings of 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, for 28 MPG combined. Every 100 miles traveled will bite through only 3.6 gallons of fuel, which stems from your fuel tank that holds 14.9 gallons. With a full tank of gas, the 2024 Chevy Equinox with FWD can travel 417 miles. AWD models have a larger fuel tank, with a capacity of 15.6 gallons, which is to rectify the somewhat lower fuel efficiency ratings the AWD models have over FWD ones.
With AWD, the 2024 Equinox earns EPA-estimated ratings of 24 MPG in the city, 30 MPG on the highway, and 26 MPG combined, with a total mileage range of 406 miles on a full tank, with 3.8 gallons burned per every 100 miles. This type of fuel efficiency is phenomenal, especially for Pataskala drivers. Think about it: you can go to a Columbus Blue Jackets game and return home with plenty of fuel to spare.
Incredible Roominess for Everyone
Pataskala drivers in need of a roomy vehicle for their family need look no further than the 2024 Chevy Equinox. This model has an interior that affords everyone an ample amount of space, helping to avoid that annoying 'crowded' feeling that only gets worse the longer the trip goes on. With a capacity of five, its bountiful passenger volume of 103.5 cu.ft. is impressive.
While driving, you and the person beside you will have 40 inches of headroom and 40.9 inches of legroom, along with 54.2 inches of hip room and 57.2 inches of shoulder room. Meanwhile, in the back row, your kids going to school, friends on a night out, siblings, parents, or grandparents will have 38.5 inches of headroom, 39.9 inches of legroom, 55.5 inches of shoulder room, and 51.7 inches of hip room.
Perhaps you're taking a trip to Fairfield Beach at Buckeye Lake in the summer for a fun-filled day in the sun; your Equinox's interior dimensions are not only great for your passengers, but if you're going to the beach, you'll need room for your chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels, football, volleyball, frisbee-you get the idea. Fortunately, the 2024 Equinox has space for all of that, even when people are sitting in the back, thanks to 29.9 cu.ft. that's always available. Another fun idea you can do is to gather your friends into the 2024 Equinox and visit the Pataskala Community Pool for some swimming.
The flexibility in Equinox's cargo space shines considerably when you fold down the back seats, as the interior space increases to a cavernous 63.9 cu.ft. There are many reasons why this type of cargo space would benefit you. Say you're in charge of the tailgate party at the Blue Jackets game in the Nationwide Arena parking lot, then you'll have plenty of space to store food, drinks, a canopy, and even your grill to make those pre-game hotdogs and burgers. You may also be a fan of golf if you live in Pataskala, so if you frequent golf courses like the nine-hole course at the Broadview Golf Course, you can not only carpool with your friends, but everyone can store their clubs in the back of the 2024 Equinox thanks to the available cargo space.
An Invaluable Teaching Tool for Young Drivers
The 2024 Chevy Equinox is no exception to Chevy's safety suites, which means the Equinox is one of the handful of vehicles on the market with Teen Driver mode-something no other manufacturer has attempted to replicate yet. If one of your children recently acquired their driver's license, Teen Driver is a software that both you and your child can utilize to help them practice safe driving.
The newly licensed driver in your house will operate the vehicle as usual, but there can be limits set in place by you-the parent-including how loud the speakers can go, the top speed you'll allow the vehicle to travel, and other various restrictions you can set. After your child is done driving your vehicle, your phone will download an after-drive report that tells you if everything went smoothly or if you need to discuss anything particular about how your child has been driving.
The Teen Driver software aside, the 2024 Chevy Equinox also has Chevy Safety Assist. Whether you're driving the kids to school at Pataskala Elementary or Licking Heights West Elementary, or perhaps you're driving yourself to night classes at the Central Ohio Technical College Pataskala Campus, the 2024 Equinox has features to protect everyone aboard the SUV, like IntelliBeam, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking with Front Pedestrian Braking, so the chance of low-speed collisions is drastically minimized thanks to the intelligent and autonomous braking these features provide.
The Remedy for Your Busy Schedule
The 2024 Equinox is a great buy for anyone who finds themselves busy more often than not. Whether you work a five-day week and need a reliable mode of transportation with great safety features and fuel efficiency, or if you're a busy parent who needs to drive members of the family daily, the 2024 Equinox is the best possible tool to accommodate your around-the-clock lifestyle.Â
Pataskala drivers could always do with better fuel efficiency, and you can never have enough safety on the road, so the 2024 Equinox is the best answer if you live in the area and want an excellent SUV at a great price.
