Drivers who want a vehicle that keeps up with daily life without compromise have plenty to like in the Chevrolet Equinox. It blends practical space, helpful technology, and current styling. Whether you’re replacing the family hauler or buying your first new ride, Preston Hood Chevrolet, Inc. can help. Drivers near Crestview can browse our new inventory and read on for the details.
The Equinox lineup offers a few clear directions. The LT serves as a well-equipped foundation that covers the essentials most drivers want. The ACTIV leans into rugged styling with an available two-tone white roof, while the RS takes a sport-inspired route with blacked-out accents and an available two-tone black roof. Whichever you choose, every trim shares the same foundation, so it comes down to the style and feel you want.
The Equinox centers on an 11.3-inch diagonal touchscreen with Google built in, plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ for cable-free phone connection. A suite of standard driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, adds an extra set of eyes. An HD Rear Vision Camera is standard, and available HD Surround Vision makes tight parking around Wright easier.
The cabin focuses on day-to-day comfort, with standard heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, available ventilated front seats, and available dual-zone automatic climate control. Keyless open and start keep things simple. Cargo space measures 29.80 cubic feet behind the 2nd row and 63.50 cubic feet behind the 1st, with 40.90 inches of front legroom and 40.00 inches of front headroom. If you have a trade-in, you can value your trade before you stop by.
Outside, the Equinox keeps a clean, contemporary look. LED headlamps and LED tail lamps sharpen its appearance, while active grille shutters improve aerodynamic efficiency at speed. Deep-tinted rear glass adds privacy, and available roof rails make it easy to carry gear. Day-to-day touches help, too: an available hands-free power liftgate, available Rainsense automatic wipers, and heated power outside mirrors. The Equinox also comes in a range of metallic and premium finishes.
The Equinox uses a turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque for strong merging. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and available all-wheel drive adds grip for more sure-footed traction. A Drive Mode Selector adjusts how the Equinox responds to suit the moment. It earns up to an estimated 29 mpg highway, helping cut your fuel stops as you commute around Destin.
However you use it, the Chevrolet Equinox is a dependable daily companion. Our team can walk you through the lineup and set up a test drive whenever you’re ready. Have questions about financing?
