Additional Description: In anticipation of a likely all-new Equinox next year the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox rolls into this year relatively unchanged. There may be an element of "if it aint broke" there since Equinox sales have been doing better and better over the years despite newer competition such as the Honda CR-V Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape. Theres also the tweener size to consider; despite being priced alongside the Honda and Toyota the Equinox is notably larger about as long as a Ford Edge for example. And unlike those compact SUV competitors the Equinox offers a V6 engine with 301 horsepower. Nonetheless the Equinox is definitely a utility play offering a roomy back seat and comfortable driving dynamics but not really what wed call "fun." Driving the Used 2017 Chevrolet EquinoxYoud think that having a more-than-100-horsepower advantage over most of its competitors would give V6-powered Chevy Equinox models a distinct edge when it comes to performance. However it has to overcome nearly two tons of mass considerably more than its smaller competition and it cancels out the V6s advantage to some extent. However the Equinox does offer up a comfortably relaxed ride around town or on the highway although the standard 4-cylinder engine is too noisy at full throttle. Fuel economy is pretty good. But so what if its not fun to drive? The compact-SUV market isnt exactly brimming with models that yearn for a twisty back road Mazda CX-5 notwithstanding so the Equinoxs quiet comfort is an advantage or at least par for the course. However theres no hiding that the Equinox is getting old compared to its competitors and is due for an FeaturesADJUSTABLE POWER LIFTGATEPower liftgates are nothing new but neither is the "Oh no STOP!" feeling those with low-ceiling garages get when the liftgate blindly soldiers upward. Thankfully the Chevy Equinox lets you adjust the maximum height of the liftgate on 2LT and Premier models. It also helps if youre just vertically -SEAT LEGROOMIf for some reason you dont have enough legroom in the rear seat of the Chevy Equinox reach down and slide the seat back. Not only does the adjustable rear seat offer tons of legroom it also makes it easier to get a child seat in and 2017 Chevrolet Equinox InteriorThe 2017 Equinox interior is a little bit of a mixed bag. On one hand theres nice cloth trim on base models leather available on LT and Premier models and creature comforts like automatic climate control and a 7-inch touch screen. But the downside is space. Despite its outer dimensions the Equinox comes up short on cargo space even compared to notably smaller vehicles like the 10-inch-shorter Honda CR-V. On the other hand the excellent rear legroom helps mitigate the cargo disadvantage if you haul people more frequently than things. All seating positions are comfortable with plenty of room in front 2017 Chevrolet Equinox ExteriorYou wouldnt know by a glance that the 2017 Chevy Equinox is longer than the midsize 3-row Kia Sorento SUV. We give credit to the soft curves and narrow stance for disguising the overall size of the Equinox especially the latter as it isnt any wider than other compact-SUV models. Two new color packages are available this year: The Midnight Package goes all-black with black exterior paint wheels and trim. The Equinox Sport should really be called Stormtrooper as its white body is contrasted with black everything else. Chrome exhaust tips distinguish V6 2017 Chevrolet Equinox Standard FeaturesThe base 2017 Equinox L comes standard with a rearview camera manual air conditioning an audio system with a 7-inch touch-screen display phone-only Bluetooth and USB and of course power windows and mirrors. Theres also standard cruise control and a multi-information display between the main gauges that provides feedback on things like fuel economy and range. Safety features include traction and stability control and multiple airbags. Theres also OnStar service that features 4G connectivity and 2017 Chevrolet Equinox OptionsYou can order all-wheel drive on LS LT and Premier Equinox models and you can get the V6 engine on LT and Premier. Other options include a Chevy MyLink system that includes navigation but unfortunately Apple CarPlay is not part of the equation despite being available on many other Chevy models. The LT model is the only way to get the new Midnight or Sport packages not to mention blind-spot detection and rear cross-path detection. The Premier adds lane-departure warning and forward-collision alert. Other options include a power tailgate with a programmable height and even a rear-seat DVD 2017 Chevrolet Equinox EngineTwo engines are available for Equinox buyers. Standard in all trims is a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder with 182 horsepower. However with 3700 pounds of compact SUV to haul around the 4-cylinder feels merely adequate even at its best although the highway fuel economy of 32 mpg is pretty solid. The 3.6-liter V6 offers up a lot more power and torque 301 horsepower and 272 lb-ft to be exact but even then the Equinox isnt exactly a hot rod. Regardless of engine choice power routes through a 6-speed automatic transmission to either the front or all four wheels (FWD AWD) and both engines are happy running on regular unleaded.* While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information we are not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on these pages.
