If there is one demographic that we feel we need to stand up and take notice of here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, it is absolutely young professionals. We recognize that there are those of you out there who are beginning your lives after school, holding down numerous jobs, and touting your burgeoning talents with everything you do. With vibrant and creative individuals on the hunt for the perfect vehicle for their daily needs, Chevy has really upped the ante in the SUV department, and the newly redesigned Equinox is the perfect example.
The new Equinox has the space to fit 5 very comfortably, and the design to edge past the competition in many ways. This is the best answer that exists on the market to competitors such as the CR-V and Rav-4, with hours of engineering attention allocated to making sure the active driver is satisfied. This is one who takes more than just the occasional long trip with the family, and our state of Missouri is one fantastic place for anyone getting bouts of dire wanderlust. Being fantastically accessible while having some of the most thoroughly-upgraded technology are just two of the reasons why the Equinox can really excel above others when hitting the open road. You'll notice right away the lighter element: 400 pounds of weight have been shed from the SUV, and this tightens the all-important turning radius by 2.5 feet.
Every single inch of the 63.5 cubic ft of space in the Equinox is utilized to its fullest potential, to assure that every last person and accessory is included along for the trip. You'll love the 60/40 seat folding option, allowing for much more space for anything from a summertime outdoor picnic, to impromptu rock formation challenges at prime Missouri climbing destinations such as Trapper's Camp. The 1.5-liter turbo engine averages 30 miles per gallon on the highway, and if you are on the hunt for more muscle, the 2.0-liter doles out 252 hp, while maintaining an average of 24 mpg. For those who like to move frequently, and with a high dose of unique style, this is the perfect budget-friendly vehicle, that still possesses the charms and flair of those much higher up the chain in terms of expenditure.
A rear seat reminder nudges you to check the second row, to see if you have left anything behind. You'll also enjoy a full selection of active safety tech that included Safety Alert Seat, forward collision warning with following distance indicator, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. For journeys when a bit of entertainment will perfectly hit the spot, the seven-inch touchscreen is now standard, and an 8-inch touchscreen is available for those who want a bit larger of a viewing medium. Car and Driver themselves billed the Equinox as “Expertly damped, with well-controlled wheel motions, and no sensation of body float”. Come down to visit us here at the Powerhouse soon, and check out this young professional's dream SUV's class, dependability, and capability!
