All-wheel drive is becoming more and more common amongst crossovers and small SUVs. This feature is especially important for those who live in states where snow and ice are prevalent. One of the most reliable small SUVs with available all-wheel drive on the market today is the 2021 Chevy Equinox.
The Chevy Equinox is a wonderfully spacious small SUV with an incredible 62.9 cubic feet of cargo space. In addition to this, the Equinox seats five with plenty of room for passengers to be comfortable. The Equinox also boasts impressive room for the driver with 40.90 inches of front legroom and 57.20 inches of front shoulder room ensuring that drivers of any size can be comfortable cruising in this vehicle.
Performance
The Equinox carries an impressive amount of power underneath its hood. The standard engine is the 1.5L turbo that offers a truly impressive EPA estimated 26mpg in the city and 31mpg on the highway. In addition to this, on the LS, LT, and Premier models you can choose the available switchable all-wheel-drive, which allows for greater traction and control on slick roads.
The Equinox has great acceleration with the 1.5L turbo and pairs this with a 6-speed automatic transmission for wonderfully smooth shifting. The switchable AWD will help you on slick surfaces however, the Equinox also has Stabilitrak, an electronic stability control system that helps you maintain control of the vehicle in all road and weather conditions.
Safety
All models of the Equinox come standard with Chevy’s Safety Assist. This includes a packet of six systems that work together to keep you and your passengers safe. One of these systems is forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking. This system sends you alerts when it detects potential collisions with vehicles that you are following, provides tailgating alerts, and can mitigate the severity of potential collisions by implementing the brakes.
Another safety feature that is absolutely wonderful is the Intellibeam auto beam high-beam assist. This system automatically turns your high beams on and off according to the situation. One other fantastic feature is Chevy’s teen-driver technology. Between all of these beautiful driver assistance systems and safety features, you will always feel safe in your Equinox.
Technology
Having to keep track of an auxiliary cord is not fun for anyone. Thankfully in the Equinox, you can utilize Bluetooth technology to connect your smartphone devices wirelessly. Additionally, you can use the compatible Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions to play your media, use maps to navigate, or even make phone calls hands-free.
Another outstanding feature that is available, built-in, to the Equinox is Amazon’s Alexa. So if you stream your music through Amazon, utilize shopping lists, or manage smart home devices, then this feature is perfect for you. In addition to this, this SUV has USB ports built-in to the vehicle so that keeping your devices charged is simple.
