The small crossover SUV sector ranks among the most competitive segments in the auto industry. As such, each crossover SUV model has to be on top of its game. However, the outstanding models the Chevrolet Equinox included can overshadow even the new entries. Though the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox boasts its numerous strengths, it has to rival with several other small SUV models that put together a comprehensive package.
The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox enters the small crossover SUV segment with a bang. It has spacious cargo space, and plenty of legroom than many other comparably priced small crossover SUVs do not have. Its seats are shaped for comfort, and it is designed to deliver a comfortable, smooth ride. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox is one of the few entries in the small crossover SUV class that comes with an upgraded engine.
The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox is priced slightly higher than many other similar models in its entry class. But potential car buyers often get thrown off by the base L trim level, which seems affordable than other trim levels. You are unlikely to find one on Husker Chevrolet lot, given that this trim level is a special-order only. Though it does not add much more features, the next trim level, LS, costs a few thousand dollars more than the L trim level.
Unlike the previous versions that were powered by the base 1.5-litre engine, the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox will be fitted with a powerful and efficient 2.0-liter engine. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox can do 0-60 mph in less than 7 seconds, which is quicker than almost all models in the compact crossover segment. It comes with a brake pedal that is appropriate for compact crossover SUVs, and its response is neither lazy nor grabby. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox comes with an impressive handling ability on any terrain. The only downside of the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox is its big turning radius, which can affect parking and U-turns.
The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox comes with anti-lock brakes that can modulate the brake pressure and sense when the wheel stops rotating under extreme braking. The feature increases the ability of the vehicle to turn while braking. Its stability control features can sense when the driver applies select brakes or reduces engine power and exceeds the handling limits. Stability control features can prevent the driver from losing control on a slippery surface or high speeds. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox comes with front-impact airbags to protect the occupant's heads in case of a frontal crash. Its side-impact airbags are designed to protect the driver and passengers during a side-impact collision. The overhead airbags are designed to protect the heads of the occupants during a rollover or side collision. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox has seatbelts that can tighten to place the driver or passengers to the optimal position in the event of a rollover or crash. The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox is equipped with means of detecting unwanted intrusion. It also comes with a device that disables the engine from starting if the driver does not use the correct ignition key.
