Packed with a host of family friendly features, the new Chevrolet Equinox is a great choice of a compact SUV.

This next-generation crossover has ample space for five passengers and the things they wish to carry. Ergonomic, sliding, foldable seats that generate extensive cargo space are helpful for moving bulky items or for long road trips.

Three turbocharged engine options, one of which runs on diesel, as well as an array of safety enhancements makes the Chevrolet Equinox a dream come true.

This whole new Equinox created from scratch, has lost 400 pounds and is more fuel efficient in all its three variants, the Equinox L, Equinox LT and Equinox Premier. They all come with a stop-start technology and the optional, brand new 1.6L Turbo-Diesel engine is quietly efficient.

The variants are competitively priced between $24000 USD and $33000 USD depending on our choice of features.

An optional two-tone leather design or neat cloth seats with a denim-like weave invites passengers into the polished new-look interiors. Heated and ventilated seats are a blessing as are the umpteen storage spaces on doors and in the centre console.

With the simple push of a button, the all-wheel drive option is on when you demand it and off when you choose to not to use it. Seven or eight inch touch-screen infotainment system, key less entry, Chevy’s Teen Driver system, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, voice command activation, and a Wi-Fi hot spot feature that allows up to seven devices to connect simultaneously, are all standard features.

Delivering great driving dynamism while also endowed with enhanced safety features, the Chevrolet Equinox comes with various adaptive crash-avoidance features that help provide peace of mind on the road for adults as well as new teen drivers. The Teen Driver technology allows parents to set vehicle controls and review an in-vehicle report, thus helping encourage safe driving habits.

A low windshield base that helps in visibility, a backup camera that is standard, the advanced around-view monitor (that is optional) to provide a 360-degree top-down view of the Equinox’s surroundings, the Safety Alert Seat, forward collision alert with low-speed automatic braking, lane departure warning, blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert are extremely advantageous for a secure driving experience.

When it comes to performance, efficiency and capability, the all-new Chevrolet Equinox is a good bet to consider.
