Well-equipped Standard Features

The Chevrolet Equinox gets a few changes for the 2022 model year, refreshed headlights and grille design with updated front and rear bumpers. The Equinox family adds the RS trim with black 19-inch wheels and blackout exterior finishes for a sportier look. Also, Chevrolet has dropped the turbocharged 2.0 L 4-cyl engine heading into the new year.

Starting at around $27,000, the 2022 Chevy Equinox rivals Honda's CR-V and the Ford Escape. The interior features a 7-inch screen infotainment system, high tech Bluetooth connectivity features and sophisticated, classy appearance touches to make it look much more expensive than it is. The standard safety options are automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and lane keeping assist. With the available turbocharged power under the hood, the Equinox makes for an attractive family and cargo hauler.
