Basics About the 2022 Chevy Equinox

Powertrain

Every Equinox is equipped with a 1.5L turbo four-cylinder engine that features dual overhead camshafts, direct fuel injection, and variable valve timing. It provides plenty of get-up-and-go with its 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque while achieving an estimated 7.7 L/100 km highway with front-wheel-drive models. The motor pairs with an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission that intelligently and efficiently distributes power.
For buyers who enjoy excursions into the rugged countryside or live in areas with harsh climates, the available all-wheel-drive system is always working to provide optimal traction, so that you can continue to drive with confidence. 

Chassis

The Equinox is capable of remarkable agility thanks to its expertly tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and four-link rear suspension. Even under hard cornering, the SUV remains stable and composed. The vehicle’s steering feels immediate while its smooth ride quality makes for a peaceful and comfortable trip.

Powerful 16-inch brakes in the front and rear can quickly bring the Equinox to a halt and are specially treated to enhance rotor life and corrosion resistance.

Interior

Despite its compact size, the Equinox’s interior is impressively spacious with nearly 40 inches of headroom and legroom for passengers in the rear. It’s constructed with durable materials that can withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle or hauling around rowdy youngsters. Active noise cancellation technology effectively limits outside noise and vibrations with the help of built-in microphones, so that you can enjoy a quiet cabin. 
The all-new RS trim adds a unique style to the interior with its Jet Black cloth and available leather upholstery with red stitching and Black Ice chrome accenting. There’s up to 1,809 liters of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down and the available Cargo Package includes a cargo net and retractable cargo shade.

Infotainment System

Included with the Equinox is the easy-to-use and responsive 7- or 8-inch Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen system. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, Bluetooth hands-free, and USB ports located in the front and in the rear. The standard mobile Wi-Fi hotspot capability makes it easy to connect to the internet while on the go and SiriusXM radio will keep you and your passengers entertained.

This infotainment system also includes Chevy’s Teen Driver Technology system, which is capable of restricting certain applications and vehicle settings, so that new drivers can focus on learning to drive safely. It can provide reminders to buckle up and prevents immediate movement of the vehicle if the driver doesn’t put on their seatbelt. Parents can even connect their smartphones to the system and monitor their teen’s driving habits.

As if excellent performance and tons of practicality weren’t enough, the Chevrolet Equinox ups the ante with advanced technology and attractive design. Contact Chevrolet of Ottawa today and schedule your test drive!
