10 Beautiful Reasons to Buy a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox
Want a solid driving performance vehicle to meet the demands of your daily life? Welcome to the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox! Although the 2018 model was revamped, Chevy listened to its customers and made further alterations to the 2019 model.
So, what's new and improved? You'll find the Infotainment 3 system has a new touchscreen interface. That's a huge improvement over the last system. What's more, adaptive cruise control is now available as well as the new Lights and Brights package in the LT trim level.
That's just for starters! We've outlined 10 more beautiful reasons to buy a brand new Chevrolet Equinox.
Engine Choices
Chevy gives you three engine option choices, each of which caters to what a driver might need most. For the 1.5-L4 4-cyclinder engine, you get 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. And this robust engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Not enough power for you? Consider upgrading to the 2.0-L turbocharged engine. It produces 252 hp as well as 260 lb-ft of torque. It's also paired with a 1.6 diesel engine that boasts 137 hp and 240 lb-ft torque. The latter is the most efficient choice for fuel efficiency.
Superb Handling
The new 2019 Chevy Equinox excels in refined handling. Test it on a winding roadway and you'll see, that for its class, it is well-balanced and will track on point. The handling of the Equinox is enjoyable and spunky, regardless of the road conditions. That makes the Equinox stiff competition for other vehicles in its class.
Swift VROOM
Effortless acceleration with its 2.0-L engine can go from full stop to 60 MPH in just 6.4 seconds. And that leaves a majority of its competitors in the dust! With the more fuel efficient diesel, it will take a few seconds longer to reach 60 MPH. So, if you're looking for speed, consider the 2.0-L turbo.
Smooth Ride
Who doesn't love a smooth riding vehicle? And that's what you'll get with the new Chevrolet Equinox. Imagine driving on a dirt road and not having it feel so bumpy. That's the Chevy difference.
An incredibly smooth ride, the Equinox smooths out bumps and jagged areas on the road. And what a wonderful bonus that is!
Small Item Storage Areas
Chevy took to heart the saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff!" You'll find a number of small item storage spaces in the cabin that are well-designed. The cellphone trays have rubberized coverings designed to hold phones of any size securely in place.
Other pockets, bins, and trays are also sized adequately to accommodate the small things in life we tote around. And, they are strategically placed to maximize utility both for you, the driver, and your passengers.
Installing Child Safety Seats
While other vehicles in this class struggle to craft latches, tethers, and anchors for child safety seats, the 2019 Equinox doesn't. Not only are the latches easy to locate, they are easy to use to secure the seat in place.
And because there is plenty of room in the rear of the vehicle, front and rear-facing seats are also easy to place and secure.
Natural Feeling Brakes
Like Goldilocks, you'll find these brakes aren't too firm, too squishy, or too soft! This compact SUV has brakes that feel natural. From 60 MPH to 0, the Equinox has a respectable panic stop distance of 115 feet. That means you can feel confident and secure in Chevrolet's braking system!
Responsive Steering
When traveling at lower speeds, you need less effort. Conversely, you need more effort at higher speeds. With the Equinox. In both situations, you'll find this vehicle has just the right amount of responsiveness, tracking on center, continuing to move forward. The only time it may not is when you hit one of those nasty rain grooves on the road.
Driver Aids are Well-Tuned
The driver assistance aids are well-tuned, responding to commands and perceived issues. The forward collision warning system is not overly touchy. Drivers don't need to fear false alarms. The safety alert seat feature signals hazards to the driver in a far more effective way than the usual beeping and flashing lights of other systems.
Infotainment Center
The graphics on the touchscreen display are crystal clear and well-labeled. Plus, the menu set up is easy for you to follow and understand. While Android Auto and Smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay are standard, you'll find both work extremely well.
And dare we say it? The navigation via Apple CarPlay is better than a vehicle's built-in navigation.
