2023 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2023 Equinox comes with a large mesh grille. The Chevrolet bowtie logo is in the center, and horizontal chrome bars connect it with the headlights. You can choose LS, RS, LT, or Premier trim levels. You'll get dual exhaust, automatic high beams, 17-inch wheels, heated manually folding side mirrors, and an acoustic windshield for a quieter ride.

Options include assist steps, 18- or 19-inch wheels, a tinted rear window, turn signals for the side mirrors, and roof rails. You can also choose a black Chevrolet symbol, a power sunroof, a hands-free power liftgate with height settings, and fog lights. Available colors include Harvest Bronze Metallic, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat, Mosaic Black Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, Summit White, Blue Glow Metallic, Radiant Red Tintcoat, and Iron Gray Metallic.

The four-cylinder, turbocharged, 1.5-liter engine offers 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed automatic transmission comes with overdrive and manual modes.

This crossover SUV has electronic stability control, traction control, an independent suspension, and an engine stop-and-start system to save fuel. This system shuts off the motor when you stop in traffic to reduce idling. Accessories like the heater stay on, and the engine restarts when you use the accelerator. You can turn this feature off if you don't want to use it. The Chevrolet Equinox can tow 3,500 pounds, and an engine block heater and all-wheel drive are optional.

The dashboard looks curvy and modern, and you can transport 63.9 cubic feet of belongings with the rear seats folded. You'll get Amazon Alexa, Apple CarPlay, two USB ports, a six-speaker audio system, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto, and voice recognition. Other standard features include storage space beneath the rear cargo area, a 3.5-inch driver information center, and two 12-volt power outlets.

You can select an 8-inch touchscreen, leather seats, a 4.2-inch driver information center, a 120-volt power outlet, and ambient lighting. Navigation, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and heated eight-way power front seats are also available. You can add a collapsible cargo organizer, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an SD card reader, and a garage door opener as well.

The 2023 Equinox offers a range of advanced safety features. You'll get a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, a tool kit with a mechanical jack, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, and forward collision warning.
