The Chevy Equinox has become our best-selling SUV by doing a whole lot of things right for families. It comes with plenty of room for full-grown adults, an infotainment system that's easy to use and fuel economy that's above average. Even in the base level trim, you'll be looking at a long list of safety technology along with things like heated power side mirrors, a Wi-Fi hotspot and LED headlights. Here is a closer look at all this outstanding vehicle has in store for you at Peach Chevrolet GMC in Brewton AL.
What's new for 2023?
The Chevy Equinox for last year was so good, Chevy saw fit to make only modest changes, including a small bump in the 1.5-liter turbo engine, bringing it up to 175 horsepower. Torque remains at the same level: 203 pound-feet. Three of the eight available paint colors are new this year and so is the change from a conventional vacuum-boosted brake system to an electronically-supported system that Chevy calls “E-boost.”
Trim levels in the new Chevy Equinox
For 2023, Chevy gives buyers in Mobile, AL a choice of four trims:
- LS
- LT
- RS
- Premier
The base LS trim comes with a 7-inch infotainment screen that includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ along with four USB ports and push-button start.
