The Chevy Equinox is by far one of the best SUVs currently on the market. It’s been praised by drivers and industry critics alike for its practicality, impressive fuel economy, and exceptional handling. That’s one of the reasons why it’s been so popular among consumers—it might be an SUV, but it handles like a four-door sedan. With a new model year come new changes, new innovations, and a new chance to experience what the 2024 Chevy Equinox can do for you. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle and have been considering a Chevy Equinox for Sale, it's worth taking a look at the four Equinox trims to help you choose which one works best for you.

Some Quick Information About the Equinox

The most common use of the word Equinox refers to a moment in the earth’s rotation when day and night are equal in length. This term aptly describes the vehicle in question, as it offers the maneuverability of a sedan, yet the seating and space of an SUV; the two qualities are in balance. The Equinox offers seating for five and 63 available cu.ft. of room for cargo. The Equinox comes in four distinctive trims, each one with its own unique advantages.

2024 Chevy Equinox LS

The Equinox base trim is the LS. The Equinox has many features that are standard across all four trim levels, and we’ll be starting our examination with those so you can get a better idea of what Chevy will be granting you, no matter which trim you decide on. All versions of the Chevy Equinox share the same powertrain, which consists of a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This moves the Equinox forward with 175 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission, and while front-wheel comes standard, all-wheel drive is an available option.

Despite being the base trim, there are some impressive entertainment options at your disposal. A seven-inch infotainment screen comes standard and is wirelessly compatible with Apple and Android products. Audio travels through a six-speaker stereo system, and active noise cancellation ensures crisp and clean audio without interference from traffic or street noise. Because many of the drivers who purchase the Chevy Equinox are parents, there are a variety of features designed particularly for them. The LS comes with Chevy Safety Assist, a comprehensive suite of features that includes forward collision alert with automated emergency braking, which senses when your vehicle is in danger of hitting an obstacle, warns you, then—if you do not react in time—applies the brakes proactively. Lane-keep assist with departure warning and following distance indication help keep you focused and aware of the road around you. Pedestrian detection and IntelliBeam headlamps help keep you aware of people outside your vehicle. It should also be noted that the NHTSA gave the 2024 Chevy Equinox a five-star safety rating in government-mandated collision testing.

The LT trim of the Chevy Equinox is a good choice for drivers who might be on a budget but still want a few extra comforts and amenities with their vehicle. The LT trim comes equipped with heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and an automated liftgate that makes loading and unloading easier than it has ever been. Aside from making the interior more comfortable with these items, there’s an added emphasis on increasing the number of safety features.

For those who crave peace of mind, this is precisely what one gets from Chevy in the form of additional features such as front and rear parking assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, lane changing and blind side alerts, and a rear vision camera, which is exceptionally well-suited for family-oriented drivers who live in residential neighborhoods. The LT also features wireless cell phone connectivity via Bluetooth, adaptive cruise control, and an eight-inch infotainment screen.

2024 Chevy Equinox RS

If you are familiar with the Camaro during the 1980s and 90s, then the “RS” badge will be a welcome call-back to the style and handling of that muscle car. The RS trims of the Equinox may not be outfitted for the race track, but it offers drivers a stylish appearance and refined sophistication that so many look for in what they drive. The RS sits on a set of 19-inch wheels that instantly elevate its unique style. By all accounts, these wheels offer better cornering than the other trims of the Equinox. The RS trim is where more high-end features become available to the driver, who craves sophistication and luxury. These include a perforated leather upholstery and a high-end stereo system from Bose that comes primed and ready with seven speakers.

Your front seat won't be cluttered with cables; wireless cellphone charging is included, as is a 120-volt power outlet.
