The Chevy Equinox History

By the new millennium, declining SUV sales forced Chevy back to the drawing board to design an SUV that would appeal to drivers looking for something smaller than the Tahoe and Suburban. Chevy’s efforts came to fruition in 2005 with the debut of the Equinox. The mid-size crossover filled a gap in the Chevy lineup and came with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, two engine options, and a host of optional features like heated leather seats, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and a sunroof.

The first-generation Equinox (2005-2009) paved the way for the second-generation model that debuted in 2010 and remained in production until 2017. Built on the same GM Theta platform as its predecessor, the second-gen Equinox introduced several powertrain updates that improved the SUV’s performance, handling, and ride quality. It also ushered in an array of design updates, progressing the SUV’s interior and exterior into a new era of luxury, sophistication, and innovation.

Chevy made drastic changes to the Equinox in 2018 with the debut of its third generation. The introduction of the Chevy Blazer took the Equinox’s coveted spot in the Chevy lineup as a mid-size crossover, leading Chevy to redesign the Equinox as a compact crossover. Along with this change, the Equinox extended its powertrain lineup to include a diesel option that boosted its efficiency. It also brought a new suite of safety and connectivity features, all of which made the Equinox one of the best values in the segment.

Meet the 2022 Equinox

2022 marks a mid-cycle refresh for the Equinox, adding a new grille, LED headlamps, LED daytime driving lights, and updated front and rear fascias. It also introduces the sleek RS trim that outfits the Equinox with 19-inch Dark Android wheels, black exterior trim, a black interior with red accent stitching, and a trim-exclusive shift knob. For more luxury, Chevy equips the top-tier Premier with a black grille with chrome inserts, a logo-projection liftgate, and an upgraded interior with French stitching.

The Equinox is powered by a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that works with a six-speed automatic transmission to deliver an exceptional balance of power and efficiency. This efficiency is at its best on the FWD Equinox, which averages 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. The AWD Equinox adds capability with a slight decrease in fuel consumption, averaging 25 MPG and 30 MPG, respectively.

You’ll also find that the Equinox offers plenty of technology. For example, the 7-inch or 8-inch touchscreen display gives you access to navigation, your smartphone, Amazon Alexa, and a WiFi hotspot. Beyond this, technology like the Chevy Safety Assist suite enhances your visibility and proactively minimizes the potential for a collision with tools like Automatic Emergency Braking and Front Pedestrian Braking.
