Turbocharged SUV
The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox is a fresh and modern SUV sized and designed to meet the needs of the compact SUV customer.
Today’s compact SUV customers want a vehicle that meets all of their needs, from design, connectivity and safety perspectives. The Equinox delivers on all fronts, starting with its fresh design and propulsion systems.
Design
The Equinox’s exterior has a lean, muscular skin echoing the global Chevrolet design cues and sculpted shapes seen in the Volt, Malibu and Cruze. Extensive aero development in the wind tunnel influenced the sleek shape.
It is a richer, more detailed design featuring chrome trim on all models and Malibu-inspired styling. Projector-beam headlamps are standard, along with LED daytime running lamps. At the rear, horizontal taillamps emphasize the Equinox’s wide stance, while uplevel models feature LED taillamps.
The interior takes advantage of the Equinox’s architecture to offer a down-and-away instrument panel, while a low windshield base provides a commanding outward view. Features such as available denim-style seat fabric blend high style with high durability, while a “kneeling” rear seat enhances functionality.
Connectivity
The 2019 Equinox offers technology that helps keep passengers safe, comfortable and connected. Chevrolet’s latest connectivity technologies are front and center, including 7- and 8-inch-diagonal MyLink infotainment systems designed to support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an available OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
Safety
The Equinox offers a comprehensive suite of available active safety technologies and adaptive crash-avoidance features that provide ease of use and peace of mind on the road. Teen Driver also is offered, allowing parents to set controls and review an in-vehicle report card.
Available advanced active safety features include radar- and camera-based adaptive technologies that can provide alerts to potential crash threats, allowing the driver to react and make changes to avoid them
Power
A range of three turbocharged engines — including the compact SUV segment’s first turbo-diesel in North America — provides customers more choices when it comes to performance, efficiency and capability in the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox.
They include a 1.5L turbo, a 2.0L turbo — matched with GM’s new nine-speed automatic transmission — and a 1.6L turbo-diesel.
After a 2018 redesign, Equinox was the first Chevrolet model in North America to use an all-turbocharged, multi-engine powertrain lineup. That includes the 1.6L turbo-diesel that offers customers excellent efficiency and capability.
