“We’ve got the strongest truck business in the industry and we’ve reinvigorated our car lineup with the Volt, Cruze and Malibu,” states Alan Batey, Global Chevrolet president. “We’re applying the same customer focus to grow our crossover/SUV business - starting with the Chevrolet Equinox.”
The spacious interior offers a down-and-away instrument panel and a lower windshield base offers an impressive outward view. And as for connectivity goes, the 2018 Equinox offers Chevy’s latest technologies, like the MyLink infotainment system, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Available advanced active safety features have been added, as well, like the New Safety Alert Seat, New Surround Vision, New Rear Seat Reminder, and Teen Driver technology.
The exterior has been revamped with sleek, muscular lines and subtle details that add an overall richer image to the vehicle. Chrome trim has been added to all models, in addition to projector-beam headlights and horizontal taillamps that define the Equinox’s wide stance.
Now with a range of three turbocharged engines, a 1.5L turbo, a 2.0L turbo and a 1.6L turbo-diesel, car buyers now have more say when it comes to performance, efficiency and capability of their Equinox.
“It is an all-new SUV from the ground up and one that takes on the industry’s biggest competitors with a stronger architecture, greater efficiency and more technology and looks great doing it,” stated Rick Spina, executive chief engineer. The 2018 Equinox will go on sale here at Jim Butler Chevrolet in St. Louis, MO in the first quarter of 2017… We’ll keep you posted on its arrival!
