The Chevy Equinox has forged a reputation over the years for being a reliable and versatile compact crossover. The newest Equinox is split into L, LS, LT, and Premier trim levels, with attributes that include roomy seating, user-friendly features, and outstanding predicted reliability to adapt to all facets of life around Oakfield, NY.
Riding on 17-inch alloy wheels, the 2021 Chevy Equinox has automatic on/off halogen headlamps and a grille with active aero shutters integrated into its front fascia. Fixed to the front doors are heated power side mirrors. If you want to get larger, 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rails for exterior cargo-carrying capacity, LED headlights and taillights (instead of halogen light bulbs) for longer-lasting and brighter illumination, and front fog lamps for penetrating lighting, go for the range-topping Premier.
Typically, the 2021 Chevy Equinox is powered by a turbocharged 170-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which has idle-stop technology to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption. Pinned to a six-speed automatic gearbox, the 1.5-liter turbo-four delivers a peak EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26/31 MPG city/hwy, which is excellent for life in the Lockport, NY area. If you go with the LS, LT, or Premier model, you can go for the available all-wheel drivetrain for better performance on slippery surfaces around Williamsville.
The new Equinox offers two rows of seats to accommodate up to five people around Elba, NY. Go with the LT if you need eight-way power on the driver's seat. The range-topping Premier, however, is the benchmark for Equinox luxury, with perforated leather seats, heating ability on the front seats, a memory positioning system for the driver's seat, and leather wrapping on the steering wheel.
With remote keyless entry, you can unlock and lock the doors of the new Chevy Equinox with a key fob, and there's a push button in the cabin to start the engine without an ignition key. With a seven-inch touchscreen, the Equinox integrates features such as six speakers, an AM/FM radio tuner, Bluetooth® hands-free phone calling and audio streaming, a pair of USB ports for charging mobile devices, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration, two USB ports, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot with its Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system.
A 3.5-inch monochromatic screen displays driver information on the dashboard. At the LT trim level, Chevrolet replaces the 3.5-inch digital information cluster with a larger, 4.2-inch color screen, and the vehicle gets three months of SiriusXM Radio.
Only the Premier comes with remote start, automatic climate controls added on the front passenger side (in addition to the driver), wireless phone charging, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a garage-door opener, and a high-definition eight-inch touchscreen.
