#2021 CHEVROLET EQUINOX REVIEW DRIVERS#

The midrange Equinox LT is the best value in its class-so long as you're careful about not adding expensive option packages-and comes with plenty of features that make it worth the upgrade over the LS. The 1.6-liter turbo-diesel engine is no longer available. Elsewhere in the lineup, a Midnight Edition package is new on LT models which blacks out just about everything that can be blacked out, including the Chevy bow-tie logos. Further to that point, adaptive cruise control is now included in the optional Driver Confidence II package. What's New for 2020?ĭriver-assistance features find their way to the standard features list on the 2020 Equinox: automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, and automatic high-beam headlamps-all previously optional-are now on all models.

Average drivers will find the Equinox's carlike ride and handling perfectly acceptable, but driving enthusiasts will be better served by the sharper Honda CR-V or the downright sporty Mazda CX-5. A host of driver-assistance features are standard, including automated emergency braking, and the Equinox comes with all of the infotainment goodies we expect in a modern SUV. Two turbocharged engines are available-a somewhat anemic 1.5-liter and a smooth and gutsy 2.0-liter-and either one can be paired with front- or all-wheel drive.

The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox is an agreeable and practical compact SUV, but it lacks the charm of our favorite crossovers.
