• Performance

  

  If you’re looking for a family-oriented vehicle, chances are your concerns are less about horsepower and performance specs than they are about handling, traction, and durability. When looking at performance from a family-oriented perspective, the 2022 Chevy Equinox LS is a top contender thanks to Chevy’s flexible and driver-oriented performance and handling capabilities.

  All-Wheel Drive Capability

  A 1.5-liter turbocharged DOHC 4-cylinder engine, paired with 6-speed automatic transmission, makes the Equinox LS well-equipped for highly-capable yet manageable driving. The Equinox LS provides a switchable all-wheel drive as an available feature. If you are looking for extra assurance and traction in difficult terrain situations, this optional all-wheel drive is a feature that you will certainly want to have. The great part about the switchable element is that you are never bound to one driving mode and have total control over how the vehicle will operate. Having this kind of flexibility is a huge benefit when it becomes necessary, especially if the exterior conditions change suddenly. Your family’s safety is not worth the risk, and this available feature will ensure that your drive is manageable and everyone is kept safe.

  StabiliTrak

  To take this traction control further, the 2022 Equinox LS comes standard with StabiliTrak. As the name suggests, StabiliTrak is an electronic stability control system with traction control. Using various sensors, StabiliTrak monitors your driving and adjusts steering, braking, and traction accordingly to ensure the vehicle is driving in a straight line and is within its lane. The Equinox's focus on stability, traction, and control proves that it is dedicated to making sure that you can drive easily with peace of mind, knowing that the car is working overtime to respond to the exterior conditions and keep you and your family safe from any collision or harm.

  You don’t need to be a car buff for performance to be crucial in your discernment in purchasing a vehicle. If you’ve got little one’s to take care of, it is important to be well-informed on the right performance features to look for, and the 2022 Chevy Equinox provides the foundational traction and handling features necessary to ensure your family’s stability and safety on the road.

• Design

  

  If you’re looking for a vehicle where your family can grow, then having an interior that is both spacious and flexible is key. Whether installing car seats, packing up for a trip, or having a date night with just mom and dad, you need a vehicle that can adapt to the circumstances and provide the space and atmosphere needed. The 2022 Chevy Equinox puts itself in a uniquely good position to do just this, thanks to its well-designed interior.

  Cargo Volume

  With a maximum cargo volume of 63.9 cu.ft., the Equinox is off to a great start in terms of raw space. Many compact SUVs do not go that high with cargo space, and the Equinox makes the practical use of that space extra flexible thanks to its second-row bench seats, which are split 60/40. Now, this is where the 63.9 cu.ft. becomes extra helpful—in order to have full cargo capacity, only the driver and front passenger are able to be seated in the vehicle, but with a cargo volume as spacious as the Equinox, you’ll be able to have little ones in the backseat while still being able to utilize a hearty amount of interior cargo space. Because the bench seats are split 60/40, you can fold down either one seat or two seats at a time, meaning that the cargo volume is not an all-or-nothing situation but is adjustable to the given circumstances.

  Interior

  In addition to its well-designed spatial layout, the 2022 Equinox also provides a well-crafted luxury interior, featuring an array of comfort features like an available power driver seat with lumbar control and single-zone manual climate control. While the kids will certainly enjoy this, mom and dad will enjoy being able to use the Equinox for romantic outings. Aesthetically-pleasing color schemes mean that you get to keep the practical effectiveness of the Equinox’s architecture and spatial layout while enjoying a refined environment. When you’re just starting your family, you want to save all the money you can, and having a vehicle that is versatile and effective in a wide range of circumstances will certainly help in this endeavor.

  Spatial design is one of the most important components to be considered when searching for your family’s first vehicle, and the Equinox LS provides an ideal interior environment for a new family.

• Technology

  

  In-vehicle technology is a huge aid in the driving experience, whether it helps the effectiveness of the drive or the time enjoyed inside the vehicle. You will be pleased to hear that the 2022 Chevy Equinox LS provides plenty of technology that does both of these things!

  Chevy Safety Assist

  Safety is the biggest priority when choosing a vehicle for your family, and Chevy is one of the industry’s leaders in developing effective safety technology. The Equinox LS comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, Chevy’s premier safety technology package. With Chevy Safety Assist, you will have access to Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking, Front Pedestrian Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Following Distance Indicator, and Intellibeam Auto High Beam Assist.

  These kinds of safety technologies make a key difference at critical moments, and you’ll be on the right side of that difference with this safety package. Having automatic emergency braking is a huge benefit in that the vehicle acts when you are not able to do so. Driving with young children in the vehicle can sometimes cause you to have split attention, and the Equinox’s safety features makes sure that its attention is always on the road so that it can alert you when you need to act or act autonomously when necessary.

  Chevy Teen Driver

  Another huge safety benefit is that the Equinox LS comes standard with Chevy Teen Driver. This innovative safety provides an ideal environment in which the kids can cultivate safe driving habits as they get older. With a specifically programmed key-fob that belongs to the teen driver, parents are able to set specific restrictions, including speed, acceleration, and audio volume limits, making it impossible for the vehicle to go above the maximum limit. Combine that with a teen driver report card, and you will be able to closely monitor your teen driver and assist them in developing safe and sustainable driving skills.

  Connectivity

  The Equinox’s technology is not just functional; it’s also fun! With a 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen hosting the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System, you will have access to your favorite in-vehicle media more easily than ever. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you’ll be able to connect your smartphone right to the vehicle and make calls, send messages, and access your favorite apps, music, and podcasts, all from the infotainment screen. Plus, the Infotainment 3 System allows for audio streaming from two active devices, so you’ll be able to save the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting if more than one person wants to connect. Whatever you are listening to, it will sound great through a 6-speaker audio system!

  Infotainment technology is all about making your ride easier and more enjoyable, and voice command will help you to manage all of your infotainment needs without the distraction of using the touchscreen, so you’ll be able to enjoy the ride while the vehicle does the work for you. Between the safety technology and the infotainment technology of the 2022 Equinox LS, your family’s ride will be safe, well-connected, and enjoyable because everything works, giving you an easy and distraction-free driving experience.
