Family vehicles need to meet a wide array of needs such as high occupant and storage capacity. Unfortunately, many families may find the size and appearance of large vans, trucks, and full-size SUVs quite unappealing. Here at Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet of Worthington, we’re proud to announce that the new 2022 Chevy Equinox has arrived to provide a solution to these problems. Here is our guide to the new latest Chevy Equinox model.
Basics About the 2022 Chevy Equinox
The Chevy Equinox is a popular compact crossover SUV that is capable of seating up to 5 occupants. The vehicle boasts a broad array of features and advantages that have granted it mainstream appeal and its small size grants the vehicle a more streamlined appearance.
Basic Specs
For 2022, the Chevy Equinox’s basic specs are largely unchanged from the previous year’s model. However, the vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency are still quite respectable among the competition. Here are the basic specs of the Chevy Equinox in 2022:
Performance
The Chevy Equinox features a 170-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and is capable of generating up to 203 pound-feet of torque. This setup is standard on all 2022 Equinox trims. While these performance numbers don’t enable the vehicle to stand out from the pack, the vehicle is still quite competitive among compact SUVs and has more than enough performance for most needs.
Additionally, the 2022’s Equinox model is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. This advantage makes the vehicle a uniquely versatile compact SUV for families in need of towing capabilities.
Fuel-Efficiency
One area where the Chevy Equinox continues to shine in 2022 is in its fuel efficiency. One aspect of the vehicle’s gearbox is that it is reluctant to downshift when extra power is needed. This advantage means that the vehicle can squeeze out additional fuel efficiency for families interested in saving on gas expenses.
Due to this feature and more, the 2022 model achieves a fuel efficiency rating of 26 city miles per gallon and 31 highway miles per gallon, granting it an average of 28 miles per gallon in real-world scenarios and placing the vehicle in a respectable position among its competitors.
New/Unique Features
The 2022 Equinox model’s standout changes are revamped front and rear styling, the introduction of a new RS trim, and enhancements to the previous year’s Premier trim. The front and rear design changes include more distinctive headlights, updated bumpers, and more. The new RS trim features black exterior trim, a unique shift knob, red stitching, and black upholstery. The updated Premier trim now features cabin details such as French stitching and gloss-black trim on the console.
Without a doubt, Chevrolet has stuck with its strengths when designing the new 2022 Equinox. By keeping the performance and features that Equinox enthusiasts have enjoyed in previous models and enhancing the vehicle’s appearance, they have moved the Equinox family forward.
