There’s no shortage of compact crossover SUVs at the moment that are good for various activities around Stanleytown, Danville, and Rocky Mount, including shopping and commuting. However, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is a standout option because of its roomy interior, fashionable look, smooth ride, good safety ratings, and affordable prices.
There are four versions of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox available, and the Equinox is one of those relatively rare models where the most affordable trim level is more than just a fleet model. That entry-level model is called the Equinox LS. But if you’d like to go for a higher trim level, the rest of the lineup includes the LT, the sporty RS, and the range-topping Premier. Every version of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is front-wheel drive in standard form, a feature that makes the compact Equinox stand out from much of the competition. The four trim levels cover a range of styles and help the 2024 Equinox appeal to a broad audience from Stanleytown to Greensboro and beyond.
Under the hood of every version of the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox is a 1.5-liter turbo-four gas engine, delivering a superbly appropriate blend of performance, capability, and efficiency. The turbo-four provides the Equinox with 170 horsepower and 203 lb.-ft. of torque, which goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and Driver Shift Control. And you’ll be pleased to learn the 2024 Equinox is as good on gas as you’d hope, even with its standard all-wheel drive. The EPA rates the Equinox for fuel economy at 25 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 27 mpg combined.
Value for money and safety are cornerstones of the 2024 Equinox offer. Thanks to standard automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and automatic high-beam headlights, the 2024 Equinox gets a full five-star rating for overall safety from the NHTSA. And if safety features are critical for you and your buying decision, higher trim levels get standard blind-spot monitors, parking sensors, and a surround-view camera system.
The base Equinox LS certainly isn’t one of those stripped-down entry models designed to catch the eye with a low MSRP and a specification that primarily appeals to fleets. The LS model’s standard equipment includes full power features, 17-inch alloys, a six-speaker sound system, active noise cancellation, cruise control, keyless open and start, a rear vision camera, and climate control. The standard infotainment system is impressive with its 7.0-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. Head up to the Premier trim level, and you’re getting close to genuine luxury appointments.
If an affordable small SUV with plenty of interior space, generous standard features, and a fuel-efficient powertrain is what you’re looking for, the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox should be top of your list.
