Chevrolet has been building its stable of crossover utility vehicles steadily over the past decade plus, and it all started with the Equinox. While the brand's SUV legacy goes back decades and decades, the Equinox was the first true crossover the brand built back for the 2005 model year. Now nearly two decades later, the Equinox has certainly established its legacy and is running strong in its third generation. It has even spun off its own electric variant, the Equinox EV, but today we’ll focus on the 2024 Chevy Equinox right here in Fort Scott, Kansas.
With a lot of the focus being on the electrified version of the nameplate, not a lot has changed for the 2024 model year. Even still, there were a few updates that have us excited. For starters, there are two new blue exterior color options to choose from, including Riptide Blue Metallic and Lakeshore Blue Metallic. In addition, the Driver Confidence II Package now includes Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert as well as Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
When it comes to technical specifications, the 2024 Equinox lineup has just one powertrain beneath its hoods. It includes a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine tethered to a six-speed automatic transmission, and you can opt for an all-wheel drive system. The system is capable of generating 175 horsepower, while achieving 26 miles per gallon through the city and 31 mpg on the highway when equipped with FWD, or 24/30 with AWD.
The Equinox is packed full of great technologies, both for entertainment and safety. The infotainment system in the vehicle includes either a 7- or 8-inch display audio screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus wireless phone charging on some trim levels. The Chevy Safety Assist suite of advanced driver-assistive safety features comes standard and includes things like Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist.
