The 2022 Equinox has an angular mesh front grille with two thin chrome bars connecting the headlights and the Chevy symbol in the center. LS, LT, RS, and Premier trim levels are available. Standard features include 17-inch wheels, a 16-inch spare wheel, dual exhaust, automatic high beams, heated manually-folding side mirrors, and an acoustic windshield that keeps noises out. You can add a tinted rear window, assist steps, roof rails, 18- or 19-inch wheels, and turn signals for the side mirrors.

The turbocharged, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine offers 170 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. It has a six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and manual modes, and a stop-and-start system increases fuel efficiency by pausing in traffic to prevent idling. If you don't feel like using this feature, you can deactivate it.

This SUV has an independent suspension for a smooth, comfortable ride. Traction control and electronic stability control are both standard. The Equinox tows up to 3,500 pounds and gets 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on larger roads. You can choose to add an engine block heater and all-wheel drive.
