4 Standout Features of the 2020 Chevy Equinox

The 2020 Chevy Equinox is an airtight option if you want to go for a compact SUV. An SUV with all the ingredients to mark its brilliance, the Chevy Equinox comes fully loaded with standout fuel economy and some very pleasing interiors that gel pretty well with its infotainment system and spacious cabin.

The reliability ratings are almost impossible to beat and its engine & handling make it a very smooth ride. It’s exterior is also bold and very well done, a rarity in compact SUVs. It also comes with a 1.5-liter turbo engine that can be turned into a turbocharged one but we recommend scaling up to a turbocharged, 2-liter engine that ensures peak performance.

Excellent Gas Mileage
The gas mileage of the new Chevrolet Equinox is one of the best in the game. For a car that starts at $23,800, gas mileage of 26 to 31 miles per gallon is pretty great, especially now that there’s no diesel version of the car. The larger turbocharged engine available in the more expensive trims gives a mileage of about 22 to 31 miles per gallon, which is still pretty great.

Smooth Handling
Smooth handling is one of the major red flags we look for in SUVs but it won’t be a concern in the new Chevrolet Equinox. It’s handling is as smooth as it gets. Whether it’s bumpy roads or sailing turns, it stays intact and ensures a seamless ride. Especially for a car with a fairly long turning radius, the Equinox is surprisingly mobile and hassle-free to drive. And it’s got a decent towing capacity of 3,500 pounds as well. It features 4 trims: L, LS, LT & Equinox Premier.

Off-the-Charts Reliability Rating
The reliability ratings of the Equinox make it one of the best vehicles in its class. Everybody has given it glowing reviews and ratings, all the way from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety as well as JD Power. All gave it five out of five.

It comes loaded with safety and driver assistance features, such as lane-keep assist, forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic braking, lane-departure warning, rear-cross traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. It has earned the highest ratings ever for its front crash prevention system and vehicle to the pedestrian system.

Well-Designed Interiors
The cabin of the Chevrolet Equinox is pretty spacious for full-grown adults to stretch their legs in and enjoy themselves comfortably for long journeys. The infotainment is extremely user-friendly with a stunning interface. It features a 7-inch screen in the front and an 8-inch one in the back, HD radio, a BOSE 7 speaker audio system, navigation, and additional USB ports. Safe to say, it’s tech & infotainment are not going to be a holdout.
