In recent years, sales of the Chevrolet Equinox have made this compact SUV one of the best-selling models in the United States, and this has a lot to do with the great value it provides to drivers around Oklahoma City. The reality of the Chevrolet Equinox is that its affordability, reliability, and excellent range of features will continue to make it the brand's best-selling SUV as long as the automaker keeps improving it. This model is in its third generation and has been thoroughly upgraded in the two decades since Chevrolet introduced it as a suburban crossover.
What's New
Compared to the previous model year, which underwent a mid-cycle refresh, the gasoline-powered 2024 Chevrolet Equinox presents only a few changes. The company is releasing a plug-in electric version this year, which will be marketed as a separate model. The 2024 Equinox lineup has been revised to a single powertrain and four trim levels. Two new exterior paint options exist, the Riptide and Lakeshore, which are premium metallic versions of the standard blue coating scheme. The Chevy Safety Assist suite of advanced safety features has been upgraded with new functions and a lower price on the base trim.
Performance
The powertrain options have been consolidated into the single GM turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which provides a nice balance of fuel economy and horsepower. With this power plant, the Chevrolet Equinox can generate 175 horsepower when the engine runs at 5,600 RPM. Maximum torque of 203 pound-feet becomes available after 2,000 RPM, sufficient to tow loads up to 3,500 pounds. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, and the EPA-estimated highway fuel economy is rated at 31 mpg when the Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with front-wheel drive. An all-wheel-drive system is available on demand for certain trim levels.
Exterior and Interior
A sleek and modern exterior characterizes the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, making it easily one of the best-looking compact SUVs around Lawton. The large grille, badging, contoured roofline, and LED headlight configuration tell you this is a Chevrolet brand SUV. Wheel sizes are available from 17 to 19 inches.
Inside the Chevrolet Equinox, you’ll find plenty of space for you and four adult passengers. Cup holders are within easy reach for all riders, and a large bin in the center console provides convenient storage space. Despite being built on a compact and lightweight chassis platform, the body frame of this SUV maximizes space, so you can easily fit eight carry-on luggage pieces in the rear cargo space. The panoramic sunroof option mixes nicely with the corner windows in the rear, thus making the Equinox ideal for sightseeing and road trips.
Technology
The Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system is controlled through a standard 7-inch touchscreen to the right of the instrument cluster, which combines gauges with some digital instruments. A larger touchscreen and Amazon Alexa voice command integration are optional; you can also upgrade the technology package with a Wi-Fi hotspot and extra USB charging ports. MyLink connects to your smartphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Safety
With the Driver Confidence package, an affordable upgrade option, the 2024 Equinox improves upon its five-star rating issued by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration with advanced features such as collision mitigation, blind spot alerts, cross-traffic monitoring, emergency braking, and more.
Trim Levels
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is available in four trim levels:
- Chevrolet Equinox LS: You get extras like a rearview camera even with the base Equinox.
- Chevrolet Equinox LT: Some upgrades include a 120-volt power outlet and adaptive cruise control.
- Chevrolet Equinox RS: This trim includes roof rails, optional leather seats, and a Bose premium audio system.
- Chevrolet Equinox Premier: All upgrades and options are available to make your Chevrolet Equinox an upscale SUV.
