About the Chevy Equinox
A roomy SUV with a bold new design and a lot of space for the money. It is comfortable and easy to drive around town.
Comfortable and easy. Most have a small turbo engine that’s fine for daily driving but not quick.
Tip: There is also an Equinox EV (electric). It is a different car, so check which one you’re looking at.
