The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox delivers a refined image with its chrome-accented dual-port grille and dual exhaust that is rectangular shaped. If you have a clear picture in your mind of the large Chevy Traverse, you will see a clear family resemblance, although the Equinox may seem a bit chunkier. Despite this, the Equinox is more car-like than truck-like, in contrast to its larger sibling. The standard halogen projector-beam headlamps give you a clear view of the road and can feature LED daytime running lights for extra style and safety. There are also 18-inch aluminum wheels available that have been custom styled for those who want to show off. Those looking to truly stand out can also enjoy a Sport Edition or Midnight Edition model with unique exterior styling such as black roof rack cross bars, mirror caps, grille, Chevrolet bowties in front and rear, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. Don’t forget to consider the power liftgate if you frequently find your hands full or just like added convenience.
The 2017 Equinox delivers all the versatility you could want from an SUV thanks to the rear seats that split and fold. Fold the entire bench seat down to get 63.7 cubic feet or keep it upright and still enjoy 31.5 cubic feet. In addition to folding, these rear seats will also slide so you can bring your children within reach or maximize rear-seat legroom. Those looking for a car-like driving position will find it in this Chevrolet along with an incredible amount of built-in storage. The center console is deep and there are two cargo wells in the back along with a cargo net and cover. Available leather-appointed seats ensure that everyone gets to relax in premium materials. All models have some power adjustment for the driver, including lumbar and height while the second row always slides and reclines. Upgrading can give you 8-way power and memory settings for the driver’s seat, leather on the steering wheel, heated front seats, and matching 8-way power for the front passenger seat.
Either of the powertrains in the 2017 Equinox are great choices. The base 2.4-liter 4-cylinder has an Eco Mode that helps with highway fuel efficiency. The 3.6-liter V6 can tow 3,600 pounds, and has the best-in-class 301 horsepower. If you get the 4-cylinder engine in your Equinox, you will also have an Eco button that optimizes shift points, locks the torque converter earlier, and reduces the power draw of accessories like air conditioning, all with the goal of boosting efficiency. Those who plan on putting their Equinox to the test with towing around Sulphur Springs should add the Trailering Equipment Package. It includes a 4-wire harness to connect the trailer’s stoplights and taillights and a Class II 1-1/4-inch receiver hitch.
