Get to Know the Chevrolet Equinox RS Trim

The Chevrolet Equinox has all the features needed to make it a frontrunner in the two-row crossover segment, and as Chevy’s top-selling SUV, that speaks volumes. It is superbly equipped inside and out with smooth handling, four trim levels, and specific aesthetics, making the Equinox look chic. The model’s all-around smooth handling and comfortable style are two reasons the Equinox is one of the best-selling SUVs at Depaula Chevrolet, your Saratoga, NY, Chevy Equinox dealer.

In 2022, Chevy revived its Rally Sport heritage with the Equinox RS trim. The RS trim isn’t just an appearance package: it’s a complete trim level, bringing back memories of Camaro models equipped with hideaway headlights and reverse lights. Despite referring to a performance-inspired past, the power in this trim is in its flashy style and flair for modern-day driving rather than horsepower. If you are interested in a popular SUV that is sportier looking, well-equipped, and a pleasure to drive, the Chevrolet Equinox RS may be the vehicle for you.

Attractive RS Trim Features

With the Chevrolet Equinox, drivers can expect various upgrades to improve their ride, but if you’re after something exceptional, it’s all about selecting the RS trim level, crafted with street-savvy style and eye-catching appeal. You won’t find that type of cutting-edge design in any other Equinox trim level. Here are some of the most impressive RS features that make driving this Equinox a memorable experience.

Head Turning Looks

You can take your look to the next level with Chevrolet Equinox RS. It has a sleek, bold design inside and out for an aggressive impact on others’ perceptions. The Equinox RS doesn’t just look the part. Its sophisticated style makes a statement. From its 19-inch Dark Android-painted aluminum wheels to its gloss black window surround and side rails, this ride is designed with one thing in mind: looking good. Add LED headlights and body color inserts on the lower fascia, along with a gloss black mesh grille, unique shift knob, red RS badging, and Black Ice surround, and you’ve got a car that’s going to turn heads.

The Equinox RS is all about the details, from its luxe black leather seats, beautifully complemented by contrast red stitching and a matching custom steering wheel that brings it to life. Plus, with comfortable seating and eye-catching design elements, you’ll enjoy the comfort and attention this SUV will bring.

Standard Confidence and Convenience Package

The Chevy Equinox RS offers the greatest value among its trim levels, providing all of the great amenities in the LT and LS trims, plus more! The Confidence and Convenience package is included with the RS, with features that make your driving experience truly enjoyable. The Equinox RS trim has the following:

• Front and Rear Park Assist: With front and rear parking sensors, you’ll be able to back out of your driveway with peace of mind. These advanced tools give you the confidence needed while navigating tight spaces by alerting you to objects in front of or behind you while at low speeds.
• Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control – Dual climate control allows you and your front passenger to customize the temperature so everyone can feel comfortable while you drive.
• Rear park assist – Rear Park Assist is an available feature that uses ultrasonic sensors on your rear bumper to detect vehicles and objects behind you while in reverse. It provides helpful alerts to park confidently, avoiding accidental collisions.
• Power Programmable Liftgate – Easily open your liftgate with the touch of a button and program the memory settings to your preferred height for the tailgate to open. You can open the tailgate with your keyfob, a button in the vehicle, or the handle on the exterior.
• Heated Front Seats – Heated seats offer a cozy, luxurious feeling to any ride, and they’re powered by electricity from your vehicle’s battery which flows through the seat cushion. With built-in thermostats, you can enjoy all that warmth without worrying about reaching scorching temperatures.

With Equinox RS, you can drive with absolute peace of mind. These impressive features guarantee a comfortable and safe driving experience no matter the situation.

Updated Technology Features

The Chevy Equinox RS is the ultimate vehicle for staying connected and entertained on the go. Its intuitive technology suite allows passengers to blast their favorite tunes through premium speakers, access a variety of compatible apps, and use an infotainment system designed with convenience. You can enjoy powerful performance and the latest advanced technology with the Equinox RS, offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility, and a 4G LTE WiFi hotspot for an amazing driving experience.

The RS allows you to charge your devices in the comfort of your car quickly. You have access to four USB ports (two USB-A and two USB-C), and a 120V outlet, all on the back of the center armrest. There are two more conveniently placed USB-Cs for rear seat passengers and a 12-volt connection at the bottom inside stack. You and your passengers will enjoy powering up everywhere you go.

Superb Driving Performance

Driving the Equinox RS is just plain fun. Chevy has expertly balanced its suspension, so cornering is smooth and responsive yet dampens bumps in the road for a comfortable ride. The steering provides excellent feedback to deliver first-class handling performance. It’s no wonder why this crossover commands respect on any terrain.

Chevy’s 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four delivers a powerful punch, with horsepower peaking at 175 and torque topping out at 203 lb-ft––more than enough to take you off the line in thunderous style! Although there is some expected lag down low on these high-powered four cylinders, once the boost builds up, get ready for an unstoppable ride. Do you want to feel like you’re driving with a racecar driver mindset? The Equinox RS six-speed automatic transmission is your ticket. In sixth gear, the engine can reach optimum boost and torque for a quick response when it’s time to pass on the highway.

Interior Comfort and Luxury

The RS cabin has been designed for your convenience and comfort. Take a seat on the heated, premium leather front seats with eight-way power available for the driver. The wrapped steering wheel provides an exquisite touch finished off with keyless access/ignition, remote start, and cruise control features––everything you need to hit the road in style. Stay connected using the standard seven-inch touchscreen (an eight-inch screen is available), offering navigation capabilities, Bluetooth and WiFi compatibility, and voice recognition technology. Round out this ultimate driving experience with crisp audio from the six-speaker sound system, and the Equinox RS will make every journey feel like a special occasion.
