Take a Peek at the New 2016 Equinox

2016 Chevy Equinox

Chevrolet’s second-bestselling vehicle in North America is the Equinox. A lot of attention is giving to Chevy’s number one selling and award winning Silverado, but the Equinox accounts for over 9% of US sales in the compact SUV market. More than 242,000 were sold last year, so we shouldn’t be surprised that Chevy gave the Equinox a whole new look.

Chevy revealed the newly made over Equinox at the Chicago Auto Show in February. The all new 2016 Chevrolet Equinox is ready to step out with a whole new look, safety features, and connectivity options. Updates include new styling with premium accents, new wheel designs and new available safety features, as well as a larger color touchscreen radio and a standard rear-vision camera for entry-level models.

Most of the new design focuses largely cosmetics and tech options. The front fascia is now accented with a chrome dual-port grille design, new premium projector-beam headlamps, and new daytime running lamps. The engine choices for the Equinox are unchanged, and that is fine because the 2.4 liter direct-injection four–cylinder engine still makes it the most fuel-efficient engine in its class. The Equinox will still get its 32-mpg EPA highway rating, which is great for the family on the go.

Another great feature on the 2016 Equinox is OnStar with 4G LTE connectivity and built in Wi-Fi is offered across all models. This is the first compact SUV on the market to offer built in 4G LTE connectivity. To keep those kids happy, a new universal table holder is available to mount on the rear of the front seats. In addition to available Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety features, Equinox also offers Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning as part of comprehensive safety packages. The 2016 Equinox is expected to hit our showroom in the fall. We will keep you updated on its arrival.

2012 Chevrolet Equinox Ride and Handling Kent Cars

We are proud here at Art Gamblin Motors to offer the segment leading Equinox. The Equinox offers the best in performance, versatility, efficiency and handling. Moreover, the Equinox also offers a smooth ride and precise responsive handling. The incredible handling and ride capability of the Equinox is made possible through a variety of elements. But it all starts with the Equinox’ body-frame-integral architecture. This makes the body and frame of the Equinox highly rigid and strong; which allows the Equinox’s suspension to consistently function at the highest levels possible. The Equinox then maximizes on its excellent structure with 4-wheel independent suspension along with rack-and-pinion steering.The front suspension of the Equinox uses MacPherson strut setup with a direct acting stabilizer bar, which keeps the vehicle flat on the road for superior cornering. The rear suspension employs a multi-link design, which adds to the car like handling and feel of the Equinox. In order to allow for a range of driving needs the Equinox is offered in front or all-wheel drive. The available Active Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system grants active electronic control for the ultimate in handling and traction under any condition. The Equinox brakes very well with its large 4-wheel disc brake ABS system.Hill Start Assist is also standard, which prevents the Equinox from rolling backwards when starting on a grade. All models of the Equinox also feature excellent active control assistance with the StabiliTrak Stability Control and Traction systems. The Roll-Over Mitigation System is also standard. Pair all of this with the Equinox’s standard 17 inch aluminum wheels and the available 18 or 19 inch aluminum wheels and it’s easy to see why the Equinox handles better than any other crossover compact SUV in its class.
