2018 Chevrolet Equinox First Drive Gallery

The 2018 Chevrolet Equinox is an all-new compact SUV that makes significant improvements to the vehicle it replaces. The compact people mover is now lighter and more efficient, and it also offers a higher standard of safety, features, and engine choices to buyers.

The entry-level version of the Equinox is motivated by a 1.5-liter, 170 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which can be upgraded to a 2.0-liter turbo four good for 252 horsepower. A 1.6-liter turbodiesel said to be capable of approaching 40-mpg will be offered later in the year with the SUV.

The Chevrolet Equinox is smaller on the outside, but almost the same size on the inside as compared to the previous edition. It also boasts a full range of active safety features that simply weren't available on older versions of the sport-utility vehicle, and its cabin materials have been improved to be class-competitive with its many compact SUV rivals.
