The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox offers three engine options to suit any lifestyle. The base 170-hp 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder is excellent for around-town driving and has plenty of punch for merging and passing. A 252-hp 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder (available on LT and Premier) boosts the 2018 SUV's torque for peppier performance. If you prioritize gas mileage, check out the 1.6L four-cylinder turbodiesel (available on LT and Premier). When paired with front- or all-wheel drive, this powerplant delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined to help you go longer between fills.
Are you looking for a compact SUV with a quiet and stable ride? The Chevrolet Equinox's pleasing dynamics begin with a strong foundation that minimizes wind and road noise for a calming in-cabin experience. The suspension has also been tuned to strike an ideal balance between comfort and agility. Whether tackling challenging terrain or bad weather, this SUV also features switchable all-wheel drive (available on LS, LT, and Premier), which automatically flips between FWD and AWD to match the conditions.
The two-row, five-passenger Chevrolet Equinox is a small SUV with a surprisingly spacious interior. Whether carpooling kids or camping with friends, your passengers will enjoy generous head and legroom (38.5 inches and 39.7 inches, respectively) in the back seats. The 2018 model also includes handy underfloor storage in the cargo area to keep valuables out of sight. With the rear seats in place, the 2018 Equinox provides 29.9 cu-ft of volume for luggage and belongings or 63.5 cu-ft with the second row folded.
From family road trips and commuting to everything in between, the 2018 Equinox covers your infotainment needs. All models include a Chevrolet MyLink Radio system with a seven-inch touchscreen display (on L, LS, and LT trims; the Premier boasts an eight-inch touchscreen display) with Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. You'll also find Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities in all 2018 models, allowing you to connect to maps, music, messages, and more on the Equinox's display. Your passengers will also appreciate the SUV's available Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, providing a quick and dependable connection for up to seven devices.
The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox offers a wide range of driver aids. All trims come standard with a rearview monitor to simplify parking maneuvers, and teen driver technology to encourage better behind-the-wheel habits. In addition, the StabiliTrak® Electronic Stability Control System with traction control maintains the SUV's composure for more control, while a tire pressuring monitoring system ensures the proper psi at all times. Forward-collision warning, automatic high beams, lane-keep assist, and lane departure warning are also available on the Premier trims, along with a surround-vision camera with a bird's-eye view for improved visibility.
