If you’re looking for a sleek compact SUV in the Round Lake area, consider upgrading to the new Chevy Equinox! This popular crossover is back for the 2022 model year, perfect for anything from the daily commute to a long-distance road trip from the whole family. The new Equinox has a lot to recommend it, from powerful performance specs to a roomy interior cabin full of sleek features and advanced technology. But you don’t have to take our word for it – critics are raving about the new Equinox as well! The team at City Chevrolet Of Grayslake has put together a guide outlining some key Chevrolet Equinox reviews, so you can stay informed as you shop for your next ride.
The 2022 Chevy Equinox is powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood, delivering 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque on the road. Kelley Blue Book notes that the engine is “normal for modern smaller SUVs and doles out surprising power for its size,” adding that “we’ve found the Equinox’s ride to be on the softer and more comfortable end of the spectrum.” Meanwhile, U.S. News & World Report calls the engine handling “stable and surefooted,” the steering “quick and lighted weighted” and the Equinox as being overall “pleasant to drive day to day.”
One thing that all critics seem to agree on is the quality of the Chevy Equinox safety features! The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded top marks to the Chevy’s vehicle-to-vehicle crash prevention, roof strength, head restraints, and safety cage. Meanwhile, U.S. News gave the Equinox a 9.3 / 10 for safety and an 85 out of 100 for quality and reliability, while Kelley Blue Book listed the standard safety system as their favorite feature. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the Equinox 5 stars for crashworthiness, the highest score a vehicle can attain. Standard safety features on the Equinox include automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam headlights, and forward collision warning.
Inside the cabin, the new Chevy Equinox has everything you need to make every ride as smooth, safe, and comfortable as possible. Car and Driver listed the “generous infotainment features” as one of their favorite things about the 2022 Equinox, writing that “the system continues to impress with its ease of use and quick responses.” Similarly, the experts at Kelley Blue Book write that “the Equinox’s greatest asset might be its infotainment system,” praising the touchscreen displays for their “simple menus and snappy responses.” Standard infotainment features inside the 2022 Chevy Equinox include wireless smartphone connectivity (a new feature for 2022), a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, a six-speaker premium audio system, HD radio, Bluetooth, and satellite radio.
