Daily News | 2022 Chevrolet Equinox: Change is only skin-deep
$35,970 as tested. Advanced Safety Package added $650; more options noted throughout.Car and Driver likes that it has “tons of passenger space, agile on-road behavior, generous infotainment features,” but not the “weak four-cylinder engine, pricier than most rivals, largest wheel size reduces ride quality.”Unfortunately, the changes are mainly on the surface.The handsome new Equinox exterior gave a strong first impression, and interior upgrades also appear inviting.
At first glance, I hoped the Equinox had gone the way of the redone GMC Canyon midsize pickup, which made a nice impression in recent Mr. Driver’s Seat testing.The Equinox 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder creates 170 horsepower, on the low side for any modern vehicle. It gets the midsize SUV to 60 mph in a lazy 9.6 seconds, according to Consumer Reports.
The leather seats come courtesy of the $1,580 RS Leather Package, which also added Bose Premium seven-speaker sound.Rear-seat passengers should be pleased with the accommodations. The floor sits low, the seat high, and there is no hump to engender any fights about whose feet are sliding into whose space, something I’m still attuned to after raising Sturgis Kids 1.0 through 4.0 for all those years.
Cargo space is 29.9 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 63.9 behind the front seat, and the seat folds flat.Another entrant in the “Things that are not new and definitely could be improved” category is the circa-2010 stereo interface that’s pretty standard in GM vehicles. It has a small volume dial in the center, a couple of helpful buttons stuck underneath the touchscreen, and no discernible rhyme or reason to any of it.
