Check out the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox: The Crossover Your Garage Needs

The 2021 Equinox is a compact crossover that has been getting a lot of praise. Clients who pay us a visit with the hope of getting out with a new vehicle show some interest in the 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. This is because it gives you every reason to include it in your purchase options. The crossover does not shine with many upgrades, but it still gives you value for your money. It offers buyers perks like standard safety systems, a roomy cabin, standard smartphone connectivity, an optional engine, and an impressive towing value of 3,500 pounds.

Efficiency and Towing

The 2021 Chevrolet Equinox is efficient in performance. This efficiency results from the standard four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine with power values of 170 hp and 203 pound-feet horsepower and torque. Such power is more than adequate for the 2021 Equinox to carry out daily tasks and even exceed them. The towing rating of the engine is 1,500 pounds. Optional for some trim levels is the four-cylinder 2-liter turbocharged engine emitting 252 hp and 260 pound-feet horsepower and torque, respectively. 2021 Equinox models equipped with this engine have better acceleration thanks to the higher power it discharges. The models also have a higher towing rating of up to 3,500 pounds. The engine is available with an automatic nine-speed responsible for distributing power to the forward wheels or all available wheels. The 1.5-liter engine is limited to a six-speed manual, which is a great option for drivers who love the control of their drives. When you are stuck in traffic, the engine is idle and consumes fuel. The 2021 Equinox has a stop/restart function that cuts its power, improving fuel consumption. The fuel efficiency of the new Equinox models is impressive. It gives you long drives without stopping for fuel. The 2021 Equinox can achieve the highest EPA estimates in the forward-wheel drive models. The 1.5-liter forward-wheel drive models have 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, while the 2-liter engine front-wheel-drive models have 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.

Design and Amenities

The new Chevrolet Equinox has a fresh exterior design. It has a length of slightly over 183 inches. Its size is just right to fit effortlessly in garages and parking spaces of buildings. A bold exterior is enhanced by the available roof rails. Higher trims have a power liftgate that offers a programmable height.

The cabin has a simple but appealing design. The new Equinox has five seats for five occupants. The front seats have generous comfort and support. They prevent exhaustion of the driver and front occupants in long drives. Additionally, the new Equinox is roomy both in the front and rear seats. The back-row seats have a recline feature for better comfort or a nap. The baseline upholstery is cloth. However, upgrading to higher trims also enables you to upgrade to leather upholstery. The cargo volume may not be award-winning, but it certainly beats that available in competing crossovers. The volume is 63.9 cubic feet with the back seats down. Infotainment is available with a seven- or eight-inches touchscreen, a speaker system, 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, and smartphone connectivity. The center of the dash has simple-to-use functions that control temperature and speed.

Safety and Security

Safety and security are a priority for Chevrolet in all its vehicles. The 2021 Equinox receives top-class safety and security amenities that will protect families on the road. The amenities include lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision avoidance. Lane-keeping assist is a feature that enables your 2021 Equinox to stay within lane markings and alerts you when you deviate from them. Blind-spot monitoring is a system that keeps an eye on the new Equinox's blind-spot and warns the driver of objects detected. Forward-collision avoidance is responsible for predicting collisions and warns the driver in due time to make an emergency response to the situation.
