The Mid Missouri Powerhouse is your fully-stocked hub of pre-spring activity and premium destination when it comes to locating the perfect vehicle for you for 2022! Amidst the trucks, sedans, and smaller-sized vehicles available, there is one very brightly shining star in the form of the Chevy Equinox, which has just been determined to be one of the most comfortable vehicles under $30,000 by Kelley Blue Book. This research was broken down based on what it feels are the quietest, most smooth, and spacious riding vehicles on lots such as ours here today.
The 2022 Chevy Equinox ranked sixth on this list, just ahead of the competition in the form of the 2022 Honda Accord, and 2022 Subaru Outback. The KBB editors also were very happy with the seat design in this year’s Equinox model, along with the cabin’s abundance of space and great range of available comforts. The RS trim provides the addition of very cool red contrast stitching and ample room for five adults with comfortable headroom and legroom for rear passengers. You can also see a luxurious upgrade in the form of heated seats, a power driver’s seat, and an incredibly sweet-sounding premium audio system.
Most vehicles that made their mark on this list were crossovers, which routinely offer up a softer suspension quality with longer travel than passenger cars, which can assist in swallowing up the pothole’s wrath among other ruts in the road. Our Chevy-loving cohorts over at GM Authority also reported over the last month that the 2022 Equinox model is even more affordable than the 2021 version, as pricing right here at the Powerhouse for the base LS trim level is significantly cheaper than last year.
This is the best opportunity and time of year for you to drive off the lot with one of the most popular and compelling crossovers there is! A feature-laden infotainment offering layout, perfectly athletic handling, and longstanding bow-tie brand essence are all draws and benefits of this year’s new Equinox. The current year’s makeover adds more distinctive headlights, a brand-new grill design, and completely updated front and rear bumpers. The top-tier Premier also features French stitching and gloss-black trim for the console, and the 1.5-liter engine as the sole powertrain option.
We would absolutely have to recommend the mid-level LT as the sweet spot in the trim level, that comes with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, high-intensity discharge headlights, SiriusXM satellite radio, and much more. Don’t forget the savvy addition of the Confidence and Convenience package, which now includes dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power liftgate, rear cross-traffic alert, and remote start. The 7.0-inch touchscreen displays Chevy’s Mylink infotainment interface directly on top of the dash, and on top of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto you’ll be enjoying Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and standard 4G LTE onboard Wi-Fi.
