Growing families and many eager young professionals approach
us during spring here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse with a very specific wish
list, and we are happy to provide a variety of vehicles that deliver on point!
The 2023 Chevy Equinox stands out well in a very crowded segment thanks
to its recent styling tweaks and engaging driving experience. Cars.com reviewer
Jennifer Geiger recently took the Premium trim through a complete road test and
immediately was impressed with its two-tone design, and high-end material
quality.
The heated steering wheel, hands-free power liftgate, and
heated front seats make things noticeably more comfortable for driving during
any season, and the 8-inch touchscreen is mounted directly in the center of the
dash offering a clear field of vision. Drivers and passengers will enjoy
comfortable seating in both the front and rear, and the available cargo room
boasts convenient underfloor storage to assure valuables are hidden from plain
view. The Torquenews.com team rendered the Equinox an “incredibly
screaming value” considering the recent nationwide effects of inflation on auto
offerings.
Make sure you spruce up your warm-weather driving
destination plans with all the awesome extras in the Confidence and
Convenience II Package, which adds seats with top-of-the-line comfort and
the highest-quality cameras for stability and protection. The Infotainment
II package fulfills every tech-obsessed driver’s wish with the addition of
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a larger screen, and an upgraded audio
system. The Equinox Premier AWD is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which
makes for an excellent family vehicle with the best setup in its class in all
ways.
We guarantee that no Show-me-state commute will ever seem
mundane courtesy of the Equinox’s great passenger space, admirable road manners,
and abundant comfort! Entering our offering stance in 2005, the Equinox quickly
became the best-selling model a short notch under our trusty Silverado
full-size pickup. Since we know that it took a few heavy bits of inspiration
and engineering advice from its European divisions, the Equinox remains
relevant and ideally prepared when up against the modern driver aids and other
offerings of today.
On a twisting two-way country road in Northwestern New
Jersey, the Forbes Auto review crew was shocked at how well the
Equinox stuck to the road in high-speed corners. Feeling satisfyingly planted
in slightly stressful situations and repetitive turns without too much
noticeable drama, much of the credit for its durable stance is due to its expertly
tuned all-wheel drive system. The standard Chevy Safety Assist kit includes
forward-collision alert with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency
braking, lane-keep assist and departure warning, and automatic high beams.
Some of the optional extras that heighten the quality of the
drive are 360-degere surround parking and a towing camera, while the vehicle
carries an overall “Good” rating from the IIHS. Passenger volume feels fit for
up to five adults all around, boasting 40.9 inches of legroom. On the road, the
Equinox easily boasts enough room for a weekend trip and its occupants, with a
1,500-lb towing capacity for any other activity-ready extras.
