Why Do People Love the Chevy Equinox?
There are as many reasons to love the Equinox as there are people, but if we had to narrow it down, we'd keep to the big three: fuel efficiency, tech, and safety features. Perhaps surprisingly, the Chevy Equinox gets excellent gas mileage for an SUV. It's always worth checking a vehicle's engine when you see it at the dealership if only to know what to expect regarding fueling. Some of the Equinox's available engines can reach over 30 MPG, while others are more powerful and thus use up a bit more fuel. Regardless, the Equinox retains a well-above-average fuel economy rating-perfect for those commuting to work or those looking to savor a road trip.
Regarding tech features, the Equinox is one of the best in its class, boasting plenty of features that are sure to please drivers and passengers. Need to charge? You can plug your phone or tablet into one of the USB charging ports, the 12V auxiliary power outlets in front or back, or the optional 120V power outlet for those times you need to charge a laptop.
Connectivity is high with Chevy's MyLink software, installed on its seven- or optional eight-inch infotainment center. You can connect via Bluetooth, Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay to hear weather updates, use navigation, or choose something to listen to, whether you prefer the radio or streaming music, audiobooks, or podcasts. Chevy has also equipped all Equinox models, regardless of trim level, with 4G LTE WiFi so that you'll never have to go without a signal.
The Equinox also comes packed with safety features to ensure that everyone inside and outside the vehicle has a safe and enjoyable time on the road. With years of free Remote Access as standard across all trim levels, you'll be able to lock and unlock car doors, check tire pressure, check your vehicle's fuel level, and start or stop your vehicle, all through your smartphone. Standard driver assistance tools include Automatic Emergency Braking, Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, a Rear Vision Camera, StabiliTrak, and Chevy's Teen Driver mode.
With such a wealth of features at your fingertips, you'll be able to maintain safe driving practices for yourself and your offspring, and you'll be able to keep everyone entertained regardless of the length of your trip.
The History of the Equinox
The Chevrolet Equinox debuted in the 2005 model year. People loved its athletic look from the beginning, including the sportier trim levels introduced a few years later. Drivers also enjoyed its easy handling, economical fuel consumption, and ability to transition from work to play at the snap of your fingers.
A plentiful array of standard features has always been a part of the Equinox's history and has only gotten more extensive with time. In 2010, for instance, the Chevy Equinox came with Chevy's own MyLink software, which featured navigation capabilities, communication via Siri, text message alerts, and the popular music app Pandora.
Later on, in 2015, the Equinox's tech features received another upgrade, leading to the inclusion of OnStar and 4G LTE WiFi capability in the system, along with a three-month free trial. The Equinox was due for a refresh, so in 2016, Chevy did just that, trimming the Equinox offerings down to four trim levels and restyling it to look more streamlined, stylish, and sporty.
With nearly forty inches of legroom for backseat passengers and now-standard 4G LTE WiFi capability, the Equinox is tough to beat. Some models can get 32 MPG, depending on the model year, trim level, and how the vehicle is equipped. Another reason people love the Chevy Equinox? It comes with an excellent warranty, including several years' worth of courtesy transportation, a basic OnStar plan, several months' worth of access to the OnStar Guidance Plan, and finally, included maintenance visits. Three generations later, the Chevy Equinox is still going strong.
