The Chevrolet Equinox Is a Beautiful Compact Crossover SUV for the Portland, OR Area

The Chevy Equinox offers families lots of room in both the cabin and the cargo area as well as athletic handling on the highway. The Equinox is powered by the same engine across all trims - a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Plus, drivers near Salem, OR will appreciate the myriad of infotainment features available across trim levels. For those looking for a slightly larger SUV, but also one that is fuel efficient, need look no further than the Chevy Equinox crossover at our Wilsonville dealership.

What's New

The most recent Chevy Equinox has a few subtle updates to its exterior, including upgrades to the headlights and grille. The front and rear bumpers also have refreshed looks. A new top-level trim is available, the Equinox RS. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine of previous model years has been dropped for the 1.5-liter that is standard across trims.

Performance

The 1.5-liter four-cylinder offers drivers up to 170 horsepower. Drivers may choose between either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with front-wheel drive being standard. The four-cylinder engine is paired with a six speed automatic transmission.

Drivers are also able to choose from a variety of wheel sizes. While the 17- or 18-inch wheels are standard, depending on the trim, Vancouver, WA shoppers may also choose 19-inch wheels. The Chevy Equinox's handling is nimble, and, when properly equipped, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Interior

The Equinox offers lots of creature comforts in the cabin no matter which trim you select. The interior materials are high quality. There are no cheap plastics, and the upholstery is comfortable whether it's leather or cloth. The materials are also highly durable and made to last.

The cabin is very spacious, and you'll enjoy plenty of space riding in the front or in the rear seats of the Equinox. The cabin features lots of cupholders and other storage cubbies throughout, and you can take advantage of up to 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space.

All Chevy Equinox SUVs come with a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen; however, an 8-inch touchscreen is optional on most trims. This touchscreen displays the Chevrolet Infotainment System, and you can use it to connect your smartphone to the infotainment system in any of the Equinox trims. This software is compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which gives you access to many of your favorite apps, including music, navigation and more.

Drivers can also access their contact list and send a text or make a phone call without ever taking their eyes off the road. Also, drivers can use voice recognition to control many aspects of the infotainment system. Bluetooth® access is also standard across all Equinox trims, as is Wi-Fi hotspot capability. You can also upgrade to the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus System with Navigation to get built-in GPS navigation, which can make navigating the Portland, OR area much easier.

Safety

One of the reasons many of our customers love the Equinox is its standard safety features. Of course, drivers may also opt for additional safety features on the higher trims. One of these options is adaptive cruise control. Other standard safety features of the Equinox include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist and lane departure warnings.

For available safety features, you can add front and rear park assist or automatic parking assist, an HD rear vision camera or HD Surround Vision, LED Daytime Running Lamps, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
