Trim Levels

It is paired with a standard Continuously Variable Transmission, but it can be swapped out with the optional 8-speed automatic transmission for smoother rides. A drive mode select feature is also made standard for this SUV, giving you a number of settings to choose from to optimize your ride to Liberty Reservoir. As for more traction on demand, look no further than the available AWD layout.

Technology

Within the Equinox is a wide range of technologies that are sure to elevate the quality of your rides. These include the 11.3-inch touchscreen mentioned previously, along with the standard 11.0-inch diagonal driver information display. A Wi-Fi® hotspot¹ is standard too, which helps to keep you connected while you're on the go. Don't forget about the standard wireless charging pad², since it will ensure that your devices stay powered without the need for cables. 

Safety

The designers of the Equinox did not compromise on safety for this SUV, letting you ride across Old Washington Road with more confidence. It begins wit the available HD Surround Vision Camera³, letting you gaze at the area around your SUV for easier parking. Meanwhile, the optional Traffic Sign Recognition³ software tracks signs you have passed and lets you know the rules they state. As you put this model into reverse, the available Rear Pedestrian Alert³ will inform you of any individuals crossing from behind as well. If you approach another vehicle too quickly, expect a sudden halt from the standard Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking³. Speak with our Finance Department if we've piqued your interest!
