The Chevrolet Equinox steals the title as the most affordable midsize SUV for the 2024 model year. The value-packed model is filled with comfort features that range from standard dual-zone climate control to an available Bose® sound system. A peppy engine, competent handling, and a comprehensive list of safety features complete the list of things to love about the Equinox, and if you’ve found yourself smitten by its fun and colorful exterior design, you can visit the Walt Massey Chevrolet dealership in Hattiesburg, MS, to take it for a spin.
The 2024 Chevy Equinox straddles the line between a compact SUV and a mid-size SUV. Its accessible prices reflect the former, but the spacious five-seater cabin has interior dimensions more akin to the latter. Adult passengers have enough space to get comfy whether they’re riding shotgun or relaxing in the rear seat. The Jet Black interior design has red accent stitching, is solidly constructed, features soft-touch material in high-use areas, and has supportive and ergonomic seats. The LT trim has a standard 8-way power adjustable driver seat, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and even an available first aid kit. Heated rear outboard seats are also available.
For those with children, the Equinox features two complete sets of LATCH connectors on the rear outboard seats and tether anchors for the middle seat.
As for cargo space, the Equinox has 29.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 63.9 cubic feet overall.
The Equinox’s exterior strikes a balance between sporty and sophisticated, with a sculpted hood, a wide stance, and flowing lines along the body. The alluring design sits atop standard 17-inch aluminum wheels, and 19-inch options are available. The RS trim adds an edge to the exterior design with dark-painted wheels. A sunroof or panoramic moonroof is available on the LT trim and up, as well as heated mirrors and a hands-free liftgate. The 2024 Equinox gets two new exterior paint options – Riptide Blue and Lakeshore Blue. Other options include but aren’t limited to the following:
Under the hood of the Chevy Equinox, drivers will find a peppy 175-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine married to a six-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain is fuel-efficient and gets decent gas mileage for both city and highway driving. The gas-powered engine accelerates confidently and helps the SUV pull up to 3,500 pounds. The Equinox has pleasant road manners and handles well in all weather conditions with standard front-wheel drive or the available all-wheel drive.
The Chevrolet Equinox features either a standard 7-inch touchscreen display or an available 8-inch version that is paired with a 4-inch digital gauge cluster. Both options deliver crisp graphics and snappy responses with easy-to-use menus. There are several redundant physical buttons and knobs on the dash and the steering wheel for on-the-go adjustments as well. Notable entertainment features include but aren’t limited to the following:
The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox comes with standard Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of comprehensive safety and driver assistance features that include:
