Other “aero” factors include: the large rear spoiler, designed to help reduce turbulence at the rear of the vehicle for less wind resistance at the rear corner a series of “air trips,” are incorporated for optimal air separation at the edges of the taillamps and corners at the D-pillars tire deflectors aid in achieving the same aerodynamic advantage as a traditional air dam without compromising the Equinox’s sculpted design form and underbody panels on FWD models improve airflow beneath the vehicle. GM’s full-scale wind tunnel produced an exterior that not only maintains the essence of the intended design, but reduced wind resistance by 10 percent over the previous model.Įlectronically controlled upper and lower grille shutters contribute to greater aero performance, closing in conditions on the highway, when engine-cooling needs are reduced, pushing more air around the vehicle reducing drag. Despite its smaller exterior dimensions, interior volume is roomier. The Equinox’s overall length delivers the right-size vehicle, making it easier to park and maneuver. At the rear, horizontal taillamps emphasize the Equinox’s wide stance, while uplevel models feature LED taillamps. Projector-beam headlamps are standard, along with LED daytime running lamps. It is a richer, more detailed design featuring chrome trim on all models and Malibu-inspired styling.
2019 equinox skin#
The Equinox’s expressive exterior displays a lean, muscular skin reflecting global Chevrolet design cues and sculpted shapes evident in the Volt, Malibu and Cruze. The Equinox’s exterior expresses a lean, sculpted form sporting Chevrolet’s signature styling cues. The engineering and design teams focused on developing a refined new vehicle shape that maintained the key proportions of a small crossover/SUV, in addition to delivering the utility and functionality that customers in the segment look for. Jeff Perkins, Equinox design manager points out that “Working closely with the aerodynamics team, we were able to craft a final design that is the ultimate win-win scenario, and together we reached the aerodynamic goals intended to give the new Equinox an efficiency-enhancing edge on the highway with the sculpted look and cargo space we set out to achieve.” The goal of the Equinox development team was to create an all-new compact SUV that represented an ideal balance of style, function and efficiency. This latest iteration Chevrolet Equinox is available in four trim levels: L, LS, LT and Premier, all in either FWD or AWD configurations. And if it’s greater erfficiency that you’re looking for, there’s an available 1.6-liter turbo diesel available that delivers an estimated 39-mpg on the highway.Ī VARIETY OF TRIMS AND DRIVE CONFIGURATIONS There’s an optional 252 horsepower 2.0-liter Turbocharged engine with VVTi and direct injection that generates 260 lb.-ft with VVTi and direct injection that is paired with a nine speed automatic transmission.
Energy reaches the driving wheels via a Hydra-Matic 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a 5-liter, DOHC, 16-valve, turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with VVT and Direct Injection that produces 170 horsepower along with 203 pound feet of torque. Power is now generated by one of three front, transversely mounted, turbocharged engines.
2019 equinox plus#
On the plus side it was relatively non-intrusive. There was an auto start/stop feature, but unfortunately there was no way to override it. Both engines were mated to a specific 6-speed, electronically controlled automatic transmission. The Equinox used to come with a choice of two engines: a 2.4-liter Direct fuel Injected inline four-cylinder that produced 182 horsepower and 172 pound feet of torque or a 3.6-liter, 301 horsepower Direct Injection V6. It would not be out of line to think of the Equinox as a smaller sibling of the Chevy Traverse. The two-row, five-passenger 2019 Equinox continues as a compact crossover from Chevrolet that is suitable for all weather conditions and seasons, serving a variety of lifestyle levels. The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox steps up to the plate ready to shine with appealing styling cues, sleek aerodynamic features that enhance the lineup’s appearance in addition to operational efficiency. The Equinox is Chevoret’s second best selling vehicle following Chevy’s Silverado truck lineup, with nearly 2 million sold to date.
