For those in the market for a small SUV, the Chevy Equinox is a great option. With all of the quality you would expect from the Chevrolet brand, and many modern touches and features, this is a vehicle that everyone in the family can love. The 2019 model year is part of the third generation of the Equinox line, which was just introduced last year (in 2018). There are certainly plenty of small SUVs to consider on the market these days, but we think you'll love what you find in the Equinox when you come to check one out for yourself.
Starts with Great Looks
You are sure to be impressed with this vehicle before you even have a chance to open up one of the doors. In fact, it will probably grab your attention from across the lot, because this is a great looking vehicle that was obviously styled carefully before it was sent to the production line. For drivers who think the appearance of their vehicle is just as important as some of the other features, the Equinox is not going to disappoint. You will be proud to drive this one around town, and don't be surprised if you turn a few heads along the way.
Engine Choices
There are three engines available in the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox. With three great choices offered, you will be able to select the one that best suits your needs. For those who aren't worried about having a bit of extra power under the hood, the base 1.5-liter engine will be a good pick, and it will come with the lowest price tag. However, to add 80 horsepower to the engine's capabilities, you can opt to upgrade to the 2.0-liter engine. For drivers who are particularly concerned with the fuel efficiency of the Equinox, the third engine - a 1.6-liter diesel - is an intriguing possibility. Many other small SUV models don't make a diesel engine available, so this is another benefit of considering the Equinox.
Enjoy the Ride
Most of the time, you don't get into your vehicle for pleasure - you use it to get from one place to another. Maybe you are heading to work in the morning, or maybe you're dropping the kids off at school. While enjoying the ride along the way might not be your main focus, there is no reason you can't look for a vehicle that will make it possible to do just that. SUVs traditionally have not been known for their comfortable or enjoyable handling, but that reputation is starting to change. The Chevy Equinox offers drivers a great experience behind the wheel, providing quality handling as well as a smooth ride. Of course, you don't need to take our word for it on this point. Come by Taylor & Sons Chevrolet to set up a test drive and experience it for yourself!
A High-Tech Dream
If you are someone who loves to use the latest in technology in all aspects of your life, it makes sense to find a vehicle that keeps up with the times. You'll find that in the Equinox, with the excellent tech available, some of which comes standard and some that is available optionally. For instance, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, meaning you should have little trouble integrating your smartphone with the vehicle. You'll also appreciate the presence of six USB ports, so you can keep everything charged up nicely, even on your long drives.
Still looking for more technology? No problem! There is a quality infotainment system with excellent graphics and you can choose to upgrade to a Bose premium audio system if you are particularly serious about your music. On the safety side of things, there is a forward collision warning system, as well as a land keeping assist feature. When you buy a new vehicle, you want to feel like that vehicle is up to modern standards and will remain relevant for many years to come. That's exactly what you'll find with the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox.
Room for Passengers and Possessions
When shopping for a small SUV, you are basically trying to walk a fine line between a couple of different goals. On the one hand, you want a vehicle that is compact enough to offer an enjoyable driving experience and good gas mileage (along with offering a lower price thanks to its smaller size). Those are all great attributes, but at the same time, you still want to have enough room for passengers and any cargo you may need to take with you. The Equinox does a great job of balancing these points, with the end result being a configuration that can work for a variety of people in a variety of situations.
The cargo room in the back should be sufficient for most of your needs on a day to day basis. On those occasions when you do need more storage, there are self-folding rear seats that can be put down to really open things up. There is also underfloor storage to use, and you'll find a number of bins and pockets around the vehicle to catch little items. If you have small children to transport, it will be easy enough to find and use the LATCH anchors to attach their car seats securely. In the end, if you opt for the Equinox, you will come away with a vehicle that nicely balances all of the various desires that the average small SUV buyer has in mind. With enough space for real life and yet the benefits that come with a compact design, it's easy to love what the Equinox provides.
