Ohio drivers need a vehicle that they can put their trust in. Our wonderful state has a lot to offer, but its geography is not homogenous, so you need a vehicle that can handle tough terrain in any weather conditions. You also want a ride that can handle a long trip so your vacation destinations aren't limited. There's much to see across the United States, and you want a vehicle that will make any road trip an enjoyable memory rather than a regrettable hassle. Last-but far from least-you want a vehicle that has safety features you can feel confident about; when friends and family board your ride, you deserve to know they're not only comfortable but secure and guarded by the best proactive safety tech on the market.
This is why we're proud to offer the 2024 Chevy Equinox here at Dave Gill Chevrolet. This compact SUV has been pleasing drivers for almost two decades now, and it shows no sign of slowing down with this new model. It's a sporty-looking SUV that's guaranteed to stand out no matter where you drive it. Whether you're pulling up to school to pick up the kids or going into the city for a night out, the Equinox will make sure you arrive in style and be the envy of the road. However, its interior and under-the-hood tech is what makes the Equinox such a great buy and one that's long pleased customers. Let's take a closer look at the Equinox to learn in-depth why this compact SUV needs to be your next ride.
MSRP: $26,600[a]
Max. Cargo (cu.ft.): 63.9

Performance
When you purchase an SUV, there are a few factors to consider in terms of performance-the foremost of which are speed, acceleration, and steadiness. You want an SUV that won't just keep pace on the highway but will be capable of leading the pack. You want to be able to accelerate quickly so you don't end up waiting forever when you have to merge onto the highway. You also want a ride that feels smooth and steady-not like your SUV is struggling to perform, which can be as much annoying as it is nerve-wracking.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox will give you the performance you expect and deserve in your SUV. It's powered by a 1.5L Turbo I-4 engine that provides 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. If you're an automobile aficionado, you know those numbers are solid. If not, let us explain: With higher horsepower and torque stats, you're promised a steady trip and superior acceleration; you won't have trouble keeping up on high-speed freeways, and entering them won't be a problem, either. Too many drivers become stuck on an entrance ramp, waiting for a break in traffic, due to meager performance stats. This won't be a concern when you're driving in your 2024 Chevy Equinox.
If you opt for an available towing package, you can also have the ability to tow 1,500 lbs. If you want to go camping or are planning a long trip, with the towing package, you can bring along some extra gear; this helps open up the number of destinations for you, your family, and your friends. It also makes local tasks simpler, like moving from one apartment to another. For more gear, you can also opt for the available roof rack as part of the 'Hit the Road' package available on higher trims.
Another important performance element? Mileage. Yes, those fluctuating gas prices can wrack the nerves when you don't know what to expect from next week's economy, but there will be some relief at the pump with your 2024 Chevy Equinox. It has a fuel economy rating of an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. Translation? Some of the best urban traversal and long-haul expenditures in the industry outside of hybrid and electric models. Best of all, you'll have some extra wiggle room in your monthly budget thanks to the lower gas costs-and who doesn't want that?
Interior
The Chevy Equinox's interior impresses just as much as its exterior. It's intuitively designed so you can pack in as much as possible when you're going on a long trip; no more sacrificing luggage due to limited storage space or poorly designed interiors.
Let's talk storage. With the rear seats down, you have 63.9 cu.ft. for all your oversized cargo. There's a hidden storage area under the rear cargo floor, too, as the Equinox uses every cubic inch of space to make certain you have the space you need for your journeys. This makes the Equinox stand in stark contrast to other compact SUVs that claim to have similar storage space but are poorly mapped out, meaning you can't make much of it.
Comfort is king. If you plan to use your Equinox to travel, all the storage space in the world will not make up for uncomfortable seating. Luckily, you and your passengers have nothing to worry about when you strap into your Equinox. It's plenty spacious, so your passengers in the rear won't feel like they're being stuffed into a cramped backseat.
Plenty of small touches make the Equinox comfortable, too. There's an available heated steering wheel and seats that will keep cold mornings from being so bleak. At the top trim, you can get your rear seats heated. If you're looking for a sunnier ride, there's an available sunroof; you can open it to give yourself some fresh air as you glide down the highway with friends and family, or simply enjoy the skyward views of stars and eaves.
As for infotainment, there's plenty of it. The Equinox comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so that you can sync your phone with your SUV. You'll be able to listen to your playlists or catch up on your podcasts; you also have the option to add Alexa to your Equinox along with a Wi-Fi hotspot. Toss in a wireless phone charging pad on the top trim, and you're set for anything the day can throw at you. The tech on this SUV is top-tier, meaning you'll only disconnect from the world if you want to. Otherwise, you'll be able to stay up to date on work, your social life, and whatever else you desire.
Safety
In our age of technology, there's no excuse for an SUV not to have up-to-date safety capabilities. You'll be able to travel with complete trust in your vehicle if you purchase the 2024 Chevy Equinox, thanks to the Chevy Safety Assist program. This driver assistance suite provides a plethora of tech that makes your ride safer than ever.
The Chevy Safety Assist program is vast and popular. For instance, there's Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, an intelligent program that alerts you if it senses you are straying outside of your lane; if inclined, you can even allow the program to gently steer you back into the proper lane. Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking will let you know when a possible collision appears imminent; it will even start the braking process for you so that you gain an extra second of braking time as your instincts kick in. Front Pedestrian Braking is a similar system, which keeps an eye out for any pedestrians crossing into your trajectory. You are able to opt in and out of these features easily if there are times when you'd like them to be disabled.
The Chevy Safety Assist suite will reduce your stress when you're taking trips or just driving the kids to school. While an aware driver is always the best safety system, the Equinox's tech serves as an adept co-pilot for your travels. Your SUV should not be adding anxiety to your life but reducing it-and the Equinox will do just that.
