If you’re looking for a reliable and high-quality family vehicle, then the new 2022 Chevy Equinox is definitely worth a look. Now available at Van Bortel Chevrolet, the 2022 Equinox continues Chevrolet’s tradition of bringing high quality and performance to the family vehicle market. Get to know this exciting new vehicle in our quick guide. 

Basics About the 2022 Chevy Equinox

The 2022 Equinox is a front-wheel drive compact crossover SUV that has become increasingly popular due to its respectable performance, high fuel efficiency, revamped design, and range of options. Thanks to its spacious interior, the Equinox is capable of seating up to five occupants, which is more than enough room to bring the whole family along for the ride.

Performance

The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox features a single-performance configuration across all of its trims. This change represents a slight difference in performance options from the previous year’s Equinox, which featured an optional 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Instead, the 2022 Equinox’s single performance configuration includes a 170-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and can generate up to 203 pound-feet of torque.

With these performance components, you’ll have more than enough power to get you to school or work with no trouble at all. The vehicle also boasts agile handling and an excellent towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds.

Fuel-Efficiency

If you’re interested in spending less time at the pump and more time out on the road, then high fuel efficiency is a great advantage to have. Fortunately, the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox’s fuel efficiency is another one of its strengths. The vehicle’s gearbox is that it is reluctant to downshift when extra power is needed, which helps the vehicle maximize fuel efficiency.

Thanks to this feature and more, the 2022 Equinox achieves an excellent fuel efficiency rating of 26 city miles per gallon and 31 highway miles per gallon, making it a highly competitive choice among compact crossovers.

New Design

What good is a new vehicle without a range of exciting new features? Fortunately, Chevrolet doesn’t disappoint with the new 2022 Equinox. For 2022, all Equinox models have a completely revamped front and rear design. Changes include a bumper redesign, revamped headlights, and more. Chevrolet has also changed some of the vehicle’s trim options.

For 2022, Chevrolet has introduced the brand new RS trim, which gives the Equinox a more sporty appearance thanks to its black exterior trim and interior upholstery, a unique shift knob, and red stitching. The Premier trim, which was available during the previous year, features an updated interior that includes French stitching and gloss black trim.
