The heavy weight of the Chevy almost seems to smooth over any bumps it encounters. The brakes are also up to the task, with a good pedal feel and a lot of stopping power. If there was the ability to get a boost of power at these speeds when tackling curves and bends, it would actually be rather fun. The steering gains a bit of heft and feedback improves. If you have the patience to sit on the accelerator until you get up to a decent speed, this changes. This makes the compact crossover easy to maneuver in traffic or around busy parking lots. At lower speeds, where you're likely to spend most of your time, steering is light and responsive. It handles remarkably well for its size, which just makes the lack of power all the more depressing. You wouldn't be blamed for expecting rather lame driving from the Equinox, considering the feeble outputs of its four-pot powertrain. New exterior colors include Blue Glow Metallic, Seaglass Blue Metallic, Iron Gray Metallic, and the added-cost Cherry Red Tintcoat. All models will have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated exterior power-folding mirrors, and access to front and rear park assist and automatic parking assist. The Premier still tops the range, and it gets a black grille with chrome inserts to announce itself, as well as a premium interior trim finish and a logo-projection liftgate. It sports aggressive black exterior trim, along with 19-inch Dark Android wheels and black interior inserts with red contrast stitching. At the bottom of the lineup, the previous L model falls away, so the LS is the new entry-level variant. Both the base model and LT receive higher-quality interiors and the all-new RS model slots in above them. This is rounded out with brand-new LED headlamps and daytime running lights. The Equinox now boasts a new front and rear fascia, as well as a more enticing grille design. Instead, the mid-cycle refresh is focused purely on improving the quality of the vehicle. The display of direction and comprehensive vehicle stats such as tire pressure and oil status are useful for proper maintenance.Much to the disappointment of gold bowtie fans, the Chevrolet Equinox is not seeing a return of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The move ability of the rear seat adds increased or decreased storage area as needed and with 3/4 to 1/4 rear seat, they can all or individually be placed down for additional storage. The rear center seat has a lap and shoulder seat belt which is much safer than a sole lap strap. The adjustable front and rear headrests add comfort. The multiple airbags ensure increased safety. The roof rack at the top is useful for additional storage using cargo straps. The sunroof is a fun addition for cooler days and nights. The electronic drivers seat movement is variable with not only forward and backward, but tilt, lift and lumbar support. The rear window wiper is useful in muddy / rainy conditions and ensures added safety. The standard tinted windows are great for reducing heat in the summer. The warranty is very good and covers bumper to bumper. The backup camera is very clear for safety purposes. When doors are closed there is a solid feel. There are no rattles, shakes or shimmies. Large enough make me feel safe, hold whatever I need, and small enough to park with ease. I feel safe in this car, one accident with a deer, and one on icy roads (other driver's fault) and no injuries. Safety and entertainment!!! We have put 120, 000 miles on this car. Cruise and radio controls are within easy reach, and comes equipped with blue tooth and on star. Great mileage, car is easy to handle and has speed pick up on the road. Very large storage in back, and very easy to enlarge with fold down seats. Back the same pull down beverage holders, water in door. Next was room for coffee and beverages, wow two between seats, more space in both front doors for water. My first must have was excellent leg room, front and back. At first viewing and test driving of this vehicle had to force myself to at least at other options. Before purchasing our new car, I had a list of must have, and nice to have. ![]()
