The 2023 Chevy Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that offers a turbocharged engine alongside available all-wheel drive. Not only does it deliver strong performance without sacrificing fuel efficiency, but it does so while also providing a comfortable cabin that’s decked out with the latest tech features and seating comforts. Add to this a wide array of advanced driver-assist and safety features, and a clear picture of the perfect SUV for road trips and off-road adventures comes into focus.

Performance

As a small-sized SUV, the 2023 Equinox offers a surprisingly powerful powertrain, thanks to the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine under the hood and a quiet-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. A switchable AWD system is also available, allowing you to quickly adapt the vehicle from front-wheel to all-wheel drive at a moment’s notice.

This SUV can also tow up to 1,500 pounds and gets excellent fuel economy, with an estimated 26 miles per gallon on city streets and around 31 miles per gallon when cruising on highways.

Interior

Inside the Equinox’s cabin, there’s room for up to five passengers with plenty of headroom and leg space and 103.5 cubic feet of total passenger volume. Heated front and rear seats are available to help make chilly mornings more enjoyable, as well as a heated steering wheel, while the standard 60/40 split-folding seat in the rear easily folds down to make more space for extra cargo when you need it.

The RS trim, a new addition for the Equinox, not only offers your choice of Jet Black cloth seats or available leather-appointed ones but also unique red stitching to match its sport-inspired theme.

Technology

The vehicle’s infotainment system, Chevrolet 3, gives you both hands-free and touchscreen control over music, media files, and navigation assistance, among other functions, and pairs with either the standard six-speaker audio system or the available premium Bose seven-speaker system.

While music lovers are sure to be impressed with the latter audio system, those who prefer to surf the Internet during road trips are also accommodated, thanks to the available Wi-Fi hotspot and standard 12-volt power outlets in the front and rear cargo area for charging laptops.

Safety

Many advanced safety monitoring features that are either not available or optional in other vehicles come standard in this one, including Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure warning. This system will gently nudge the steering wheel to get your attention when you may be straying unintentionally away from your lane.

Also standard are both the Forward Collision Alert and Front Pedestrian Braking systems, which can alert you if you’re approaching either vehicles or pedestrians too quickly. Then there’s Automatic Emergency Braking, a system that can stop the vehicle in the event of an imminent collision if you don’t react to the warnings of the latter two systems.

With impressive performance, a spacious cabin, and all the driver-assist features you need to make road trips relaxing and safe, the 2023 Equinox has it all.
