5 Things to Love About the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox is a crowd-pleaser. One of the more popular crossover models on the market, there are dozens of reasons why this vehicle is a great buy. Keep reading to see just a handful of reasons the Chevrolet Equinox is one to watch.

The Timeless Exterior

With slimmer headlights, a newly-designed grille, and an updated front and rear bumper, this version of the Equinox is slightly sportier than previous models. However, subtly still reigns supreme with its swooping curves and minimal accenting. This crossover is modern but not overly trendy, which means it will age better than vehicles with accents that quickly become dated once the next trend rolls around.

The Tech Tools

Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment interface is user-friendly and easy to read. A 7.0-inch touchscreen comes standard, with the option for an 8.0-inch unit. In addition, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard at every trim level, as does audio streaming and Bluetooth.

The Teen Driver System

While many vehicles only offer high-tech upgrades on top-tier trims, Equinox’s base LS level trim provides Chevrolet’s patented teen driver technology. This program allows you to grant your teen some freedom behind the wheel while still ensuring their safety.

For example, with this system, you can set speed alerts that inform you if your teen is behaving recklessly and set a governor on the sound system to minimize the chances of your teen playing music too loud and missing essential outside stimuli. You’ll also receive an in-vehicle report card that lets you know areas your teen needs to improve. Using this system, parents can help their teens become responsible drivers while allowing them to enjoy the experience of flying solo.

The Versatility

A concern many drivers have when shopping for a crossover is whether or not the vehicle will have enough useful space. The Equinox is a fantastic option for individuals who plan on using the vehicle for various activities. With its roomy backseat, there’s more than enough space for adults and children to ride comfortably.

When you aren’t carpooling, the standard split-fold backseat in the Equinox allows you to collapse the back row quickly for additional storage space. So whether you plan on doing some serious shopping or have a hobby that requires you to bring cumbersome equipment, this crossover will handle it effortlessly. With the backseat stowed, you’ll get 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than enough room to transport a mountain bike without dissembling it.

The Smooth Ride

Despite its height, the Equinox handles well and can easily maneuver through even the most congested parking lots. But despite the drivability of this crossover, something else stands out even more: how comfortable the Equinox is to drive.

This crossover doesn’t roll down the road as much as it floats, its high-end suspension absorbing the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. As a result, drivers and passengers will love the smooth ride on long road trips, and individuals with back pain will find the vehicle less jarring than most.

If you’re looking for a new vehicle, take a cruise in this crossover before choosing a new ride. Its array of features and effortless handling may steal your heart. Swing by Jim McKay Chevrolet in Fairfax, VA today to test drive one for yourself!
