Redesigned just the previous year, the Equinox is one of the newer entries in the compact crossover SUV segment. Any shopper in this class should find the Equinox’s ride sufficiently smooth and quiet, and the capacious backseat slides and reclines to accommodate different physiques.
This LS model is equipped with all-wheel-drive and also offers cloth upholstery, power windows / locks / mirrors / driver’s seat, AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, steering wheel audio controls and alloy wheels.
The standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (170 horsepower, 203 pound-feet of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. With all-wheel-drive like on this Equinox, EPA-rated fuel economy comes in at 25mpg city, 30mpg highway.
