The 2016 Chevy Equinox is the most well-rounded compact sports utility vehicle on the market, an ideal choice for families. The vehicle offers plenty of cargo room, technology, and comfort features to keep all of the younger occupants entertained. Plus, the dependable engine and variety of safety features will also provide reassurance to whomever is behind the wheel.
Large families require more interior room for their children’s school supplies and sports equipment, and the Equinox certainly delivers in that respect. It can also prove challenging to keep a car-full of children occupied, but Chevy’s interior amenities will ensure that they’re distracted. Meanwhile, the driver can appreciate the V6 engine and reliable performance offer by this latest Equinox iteration.
If you’ve been seeking an affordable new vehicle for your growing family, there’s really no better choice than the 2016 Chevy Equinox.
Starting at
If you’re going to be hauling around your family, you’re going to want a vehicle that provides a safe ride. You can trust that the 2016 Chevy Equinox will keep your occupants protected and secure. The variety of technological safety features will help prevent collisions, and the numerous air bags will help keep everyone safe in the event of an accident. These enhancements played a big role in the nameplate earning the Top Safety Pick designation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Of course, despite wanting to keep everyone safe, drivers don’t want to compromise performance. Even with the Equinox’s safety capabilities, the compact SUV still offers a pair of engine options that should keep just about any driver content.
Pair of Dependable Engine Options
What do you value in a vehicle’s engine, power or efficiency? With the Equinox’s two engine options, you should probably determine where your priorities lie.
The 2.4-liter standard four-cylinder engine is the more fuel efficient of the duo, delivering specs that are often reserved for smaller cars. Thanks to the six-speed automatic transmission and the inclusion of the Eco-Mode technology, drivers can expect a 32 mile per gallon highway fuel efficiency. The unit still delivers adequate power, as it can pump out 182 horsepower and 172 pounds-feet of torque.
Meanwhile, the 3.6-liter V6 is the more hulking of the pair. The best-in-class 301 horsepower and 272 pounds-feet of torque are certainly impressive, but it’s the corresponding specs that are catching customers’ eyes. The unit can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and drivers can also expect to reach 60 miles per hour in an astounding 6.7 seconds.
Reliable Safety Features
The Equinox offers an array of preventive and protective safety features and capabilities, perhaps explaining why it was named a 2016 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. These accolades can be partly attributed to the inclusion of several new functions, like the Side Blind Zone Alert, which provides visual cues via the side mirrors, which alert the driver to the presence of cars in side blind spots. Meanwhile, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert will warn the driver when it’s unsafe to reverse. Other new technological safety features include the Rear Park Assist, Forward Collision Alert, and Lane Departure Warning.
Of course, the safety features aren’t solely operating behind the scenes. You’ll be able to appreciate the tangible help from the Rear Vision Camera, which will allow drivers to see everything that’s going on behind their Equinox. The six standard airbags will deploy during a collision, and in the case of an accident, the OnStar Automatic Crash Response System will immediately send out emergency personnel.
Compact SUVs aren’t necessarily known as the most stylish vehicles on the market, but Chevy has helped buck that sentiment with their new Equinox. The exterior is stylish and eye-catching, as engineers included a number of amenities to help their vehicle stand out from the crowd.
Plus, drivers have a variety of ways that they can personalize their new ride. Thanks to the number of color and wheel options, your new Equinox may truly be one-of-a-kind.
Options
Chevy makes personalizing your Equinox easy, thanks to the variety of color and wheel options. Paint choices include Silver Ice Metallic, Summit White, Black, Patriot Blue Metallic, Champagne Silver Metallic, Tungsten Metallic, Blue Velvet Metallic, Mosaic Black Metallic, Siren Red Tintcoat, and Iridescent Pearl Tricoat.
Potential buyers can also choose from a number of wheels options, including 17-inch or 18-inch aluminum wheels and 18-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels.
Design
The Equinox’s exterior includes several amenities that will catch other drivers’ eyes. The chrome-accented dual-port grille helps convey an athletic, muscular feeling, while the bright halogen projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps set this SUV apart from the segment.
When you’re traveling with your family, you’ll want to make sure all of your younger occupants are preoccupied. Thanks to the array of technological features, drivers won’t be constantly asked if “they’re there yet.”
Plus, these interior features won’t only appeal to children. There are several technological features for the driver to enjoy, and they’ll also appreciate the SUV’s versatility and comfort features. The Equinox’s interior appeals to any occupants, making it an ideal choice for families.
Innovative Technology
The Chevrolet MyLink system is the scene stealer when it comes to technology, as the seven-inch color touch-screen display allows drivers to access a number of helpful applications. With the Siri Eyes Free technology, iPhone owners can even make phone calls and send texts without losing focus on the road.
Your passengers will appreciate the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi, as OnStar’s stronger signals will keep everyone connected. Plus, you won’t have to worry about overloading the connection, as the service can accommodate up to seven devices.
Versatile Seating Positions
You expect some amount of cargo space in a compact sports utility vehicle, but the flexibility of the Chevy Equinox puts the vehicle on another level. The Multi-Flex sliding rear seat can be repositioned for an extra eight inches of rear leg room, or it can be folded down for 63.7-cubic-feet of cargo space (a significant upgrade over the 31.5-cubic-feet behind the second row). Plus, with the 60/40 split-folding seats, passengers can reconfigure the benches to best fit their luggage or equipment.
Comfortable and Roomy
Drivers and passengers don’t want to be uncomfortable when they’re traveling long distances, and the Equinox’s interior assures that all of the occupants will stay relaxed. The L, LS, and LT models are equipped with premium cloth seats, allowing passengers to sink into the soft-touch materials.
Meanwhile, passengers won’t complain about a lack of space. The Equinox provides plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Up front, you can appreciate the 40.0-inches of head room, 54.6-inches of hip room, 41.2-inches of leg room, and 55.8-inches of shoulder room. Out back, passengers can expect 39.2-inches of head room, 51.1-inches of hip room, 39.9-inches of leg room, and 55.3-inches of shoulder room.
So the 2016 Chevy Equinox is clearly the right choice for your family, but where should you make that purchase?
