Stylish, modern, and capable. Those are all ways in which the 2021 Chevy Equinox can be described. This SUV is one of the vehicles that we carry at Classic Chevrolet in Pittsburgh. Below, we've detailed many advantages of the new Chevy Equinox. Of course, if you'd like to see one in person, we'd be happy to arrange that for you.
The Equinox is durable while also looking upscale. 17-, 18-, and 19-inch wheels are available, and if you want your SUV to stand out a bit more, consider getting one with black or chrome accents. LED lights add to the Equinox's modern aesthetic. A lot of our Bethel Park customers like the amount of ground clearance that this SUV has. It sits about eight inches off the ground, and from behind the steering wheel, the driver has a good view of the road.
Every Equinox uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. It has four cylinders and variable valve timing. It's able to create 170 horsepower and just over 200 pound-feet of torque. This makes the SUV feel quick and energetic. Chevy has paired the engine with a six-speed automatic transmission that makes the rides around McKees Rocks peaceful and smooth.
The standard automatic stop/start system turns off the engine when the vehicle is stopped completely, like when you're at a red light or stuck in traffic. This is in place to improve the efficiency of the vehicle. The engine turns itself on again when someone's foot is removed from the brake pedal, so there's no need to be concerned about getting going again. With front-wheel drive, the Equinox can achieve up to 26 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. With all-wheel drive, those numbers drop by only one mile per gallon.
There are two comfortable rows of seats in this Chevy SUV. Second-row legroom is pretty generous, with there being nearly 40 inches of legroom. The Equinox can either have cloth or leather seats, with the higher trims coming with, the more premium material. The steering wheel can be wrapped in leather, and heating elements can be built into the steering wheel, rear outboard seats, and front seats. If you want to stay just as comfortable in the summer as you can be in the winter, think about getting a model with ventilation in the front seats. When it comes to cargo space, the Equinox has a nice amount of room. Behind the seating area, there's a cargo hold that has a volume of almost 30 cubic feet. Lowering the rear seats down increases cargo capacity to nearly 64 cubic feet.
Giving you instant access to all kinds of information as you travel around Coraopolis, the infotainment system on the Equinox comes with either a seven- or eight-inch touchscreen, depending on the trim. Bluetooth, voice commands, and smartphone compatibility are all standard. Navigation is available on select models, as is a premium audio system.
Chevy has made safety a priority. The base models come standard with many driver-assist components, including lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, emergency braking, and blind zone monitoring. These can all be useful as you deal with unexpected situations on the roads around Wexford. If there's an issue, you'll be alerted to the situation, and your vehicle could actively work to prevent an accident from occurring. The emergency braking system is particularly effective, and it can keep you from accidentally hitting another car or a pedestrian in your path.
The four trims of the Chevy Equinox are:
Note that the L is only available as a front-wheel-drive model. All of the others can come with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and as you'd expect, the quality and number of amenities increases as you move up in trim. That being said, all of these trims are attractive and competitively priced. We expect our Pittsburgh customers to be impressed by what the Equinox has to offer.
