Performance & Capability
Engine
Standard comes the 1.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, complete with Variable Valve Timing and Direct Injection to provide incredible responsiveness every time you press the gas pedal down. That performance comes in the form of 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.
All-Wheel Drive
Often a must for life here in Ontario, all-wheel drive comes standard on the Premier trim and available on the LS and LT trims. When snow touches down, use the AWD to conquer even the slipperiest of situations. You’re able to switch to FWD to improve your fuel efficiency when AWD is not needed, or keep AWD on year-round as it only engages when required.
Efficiency
Not only are Chevy engines powerful but they’re smart as well. Stop/start technology comes standard, which shuts down the engine when you come to a stop, saving on that fuel when needed, then springs back to life once you take your foot off the brake again.

What’s New From the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox?
The new 2021 Chevrolet Equinox was originally planned to be a big upgrade on the 2020 model, but the automotive landscape necessitated that change to be held off for a year. The 2021 largely exists as the same model from last year, but look to the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox to enjoy a freshened up look and remodel as it attempts to stay atop the crowded compact SUV segment.
