The nine-speed gearbox pairs nicely with the 252 horsepower turbo engine. Fuel mileage is reasonable if you keep your foot out of the turbo. The new four-cylinder improves performance overall. Mated to a nine-speed automatic sending power to the front wheels, it offers peppy acceleration and an EPA-estimated 22/29 city/highway and 25 combined mpg.
Our Equinox tester was powered by the new turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, making 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. Behind the rear seats there is 29.9 cubic feet available. The seats fold mostly flat to provide 63.5 cubic feet of cargo space, less than the competition. There’s less ducking and tucking to climb in, but the flat seat bottoms won’t be comfortable for long trips. The backseat has plenty of room for adults, and rear passengers will appreciate the tall doors. The display is clear, bright, responsive, and fast, all without too many features or too much information. The infotainment system is straightforward and simple, with an eight-inch screen and big icons. The seating position in the Equinox cabin seems lower than before, which makes the vehicle feel less SUV-like. Stepping inside reveals leather seats with plenty of bolstering, lots of soft-touch materials, brushed aluminum trim, and plenty of power adjustments to help find the perfect driving position. By comparison, starting MSRP for the 2018 Chevy Equinox is $23,580. Total MSRP including destination: $39,505. The Sun, Sound and Navigation package ($2,620) adds a panoramic sunroof, navigation, and a seven-speaker Bose audio system with HD radio. Safety features include lane departure warning, forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking at low speeds, and Chevy’s Safety Alert seat. The Confidence and Convenience II package ($1,895) adds automatic high-beam control, a top-down, 360-degree parking/camera system, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way power passenger seat, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. It also comes with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and taillights, foglights, auto-dimming mirrors, roof rails, and a hands-free liftgate. Premier 2.0T adds xenon headlights, rear privacy glass, a leather-wrapped shift knob, an eight-way power driver’s seat (with two-way lumbar adjustment), auxiliary rear-seat release levers, and satellite radio. It also prevents anyone from manually turning off safety features.
