2012 Chevy Equinox Review

Wednesday, February 15, 2012
When it comes to a crossover that fits your family's lifestyle, Chevy Equinox is the way to go. Meticulous craftsmanship and upscale appointments will appeal to your stylish side. With an EPA–estimated 32 MPG highway with automatic transmission, Equinox offers highway fuel economy its competitors can't beat3. With a highway driving range of up to 600 miles, Equinox beats Honda CR–V, Toyota RAV4 and even Ford Escape Hybrid4.

Ideal for families and friends on the go, Equinox seats five comfortably and offers the most rear–seat leg room in its class, along with advanced safety and security features for added peace of mind. Are you ready to cross over to Equinox?
Attracts Attention by Design

Appearances are important, and with its sleek lines and rugged details, Equinox will certainly attract the admiration it deserves.
Stylish Accents

Chevy dressed up the exterior of Equinox LTZ with smart–looking accents, including chrome door handles; chrome, heated, manual–folding mirrors; roof rack side rails with bright chrome inserts; and front and rear bright fascia lowers. A little bling is a good thing.
You Can Roll in Style
 
Why not add a little extra style with one of three wheel choices? Choose from standard 17" aluminum wheels, the available 18" chrome–clad aluminum wheels, or 19" chrome–clad aluminum wheels available on V6 models.
Programmable Power Liftgate
 

Equinox has an available segment–exclusive programmable power liftgate available in a compact crossover. Besides fully open, it can also be set for a lower opening to avoid contact with a garage ceiling. Or if you've got a long kayak on the roof rack, you can program the liftgate to the height of the roof rack to avoid hitting the kayak.
Comfort by Design

Every aspect of the stylish Equinox interior was given considerable thought, especially comfort and quietness. It offers the most rear–seat leg room of any compact crossover SUV, plus other comfort and convenience features like standard power driver–seat height and lumbar adjuster, and even acoustic laminated glass.
Seat Comfort: You'll Be Sitting Pretty
 

We know how important seat comfort is when selecting a new vehicle. To that end, we designed the interior in an attempt to make sitting in Equinox as comfortable as — or even more comfortable than— sitting in your living room.
Multi–Flex® Sliding Rear Seat

Not only does Equinox seat up to five passengers, the innovative Multi–Flex sliding rear seat means Equinox can offer passengers the most rear–seat leg room in its class. It travels nearly eight inches forward and back, providing up to 39.9 inches of leg room for your back–seat passengers. When slid forward, you can also gain valuable space for cargo.
Equinox Meets the Demands of an Active Lifestyle
 

Designed with active lifestyles in mind, Equinox with available AWD is a great traveling companion for a camping trip in the mountains, a weekend of skiing or kayaking. With everything it offers, Equinox gives you the flexibility and functionality you need.
18 Storage Areas

It's amazing how much storage capacity Equinox offers, thanks to a number of storage areas and a deep center console that's ideal for a laptop or purse. A pair of small bins in the cargo area are easy to reach, whether you're a grown-up or a child.
Brings What You Need


Because your lifestyle includes everything from surfing to biking to snowboarding to canoeing, Equinox features an available roof rack. The side rails, standard on LT and LTZ, are factory–installed and the available cross bows are dealer–installed on LT and standard on LTZ. The available Hitch Trailering Package, a dealer–installed accessory, increases towing to 3500 lbs. on models equipped with the available V6 engine5.
Trailer Sway Control

What's more, Equinox has Trailer Sway Control (TSC), that's part of the standard StabiliTrak® system. If TSC detects the trailer is swaying, the vehicle's brakes are automatically applied. When TSC is applying the brakes, an indicator light flashes to notify the driver to reduce speed. If the trailer continues to sway, StabiliTrak will reduce engine torque to help slow the vehicle.
Equinox Goes the Extra Mile

At an EPA–estimated 32 MPG highway, Equinox stands out by offering fuel economy that Honda CR–V, Toyota RAV4 and even Ford Escape Hybrid can't match4. What's more, a fuel–saving 6–speed automatic transmission and a 2.4L ECOTEC® 4–cylinder engine with Direct Injection mean up to 600 highway miles between fill–ups. The 2.4L ECOTEC 4–cylinder engine also features an Eco button that allows you to switch to a fuel–saving mode, which can optimize fuel efficiency.
The Power of Technology

Planned for Spring 2012 on 2LT and LTZ, stay connected while on the go with the all-new, Chevrolet MyLink6. MyLink uses your Bluetooth®-paired smartphone to stream Pandora® and Stitcher SmartRadio® through the system while Gracenote, which organizes your music library by populating song information and album art.

The system fully integrates your Bluetooth®-paired smartphone, including contacts for advanced hands-free calling and phone control.
