2023 Chevrolet Equinox
Overview
Chevy has been at the small SUV game for a while and the 2023 Equinox is the culmination of the marque’s best efforts. What you get is a thoughtfully-designed 5-seater SUV with plenty of room on the inside, plenty of sporty flair on the outside, and a healthy list of tech, comfort, and safety features. Changes for 2023 are turning heads, from the refreshed exterior to a new engine and transmission combo along with a few new exterior paint colors.
The Perfect Ride For…
Those seeking a practical, versatile and efficient ride with a sporty flair will love the Equinox. The SUV’s flashy looks match the equally flashy interior, complete with well-placed controls and quality materials. Cloth comes standard, but the top-ranging Premier trim adds leather-appointed seating, a heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and additional USB ports in the floor console. While the Equinox offers plenty of space with the 60/40-split 2nd-row seats upright, dropping those seats expands the available cargo capacity to a cavernous 63.9 cubic feet. A hidden storage compartment located under the rear cargo floor expands those cargo-hauling possibilities while an available hands-free power liftgate makes loading and unloading easier. The power liftgate even comes with a logo projection feature for a little nighttime flair.
Drive and Handling
A turbocharged 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine gives the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox the motivation it needs for everyday driving. While this engine is the same exact size as the 2022 model, the new mill generates 5 extra horsepower over last year, bringing the total to 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. Coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission for improved efficiency and performance, the 2023 Equinox easily achieves an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city and 31 mpg highway in its standard FWD form.
Available switchable all-wheel drive gives you the confidence to tackle wet and slippery roads with remarkable ease. Choosing the Midnight Edition package upgrades the Equinox’s wheel package to a set of 18-inch gloss black alloys with all-season tires. The Redline Edition ups the ante with 19-inch in black wheels, complete with black center caps and red accents.
Key Features
Infotainment
The 2023 Equinox lets you stay connected with the help of the standard Chevrolet Infotainment System. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, you’ll stay connected using your smart devices and have access to your favorite apps. An available Wi-Fi hotspot and available Alexa Built-in also improve connectivity while putting you in command of your connected devices. A standard 7-inch or optional 8-inch touchscreen display places all of these features right at your fingertips.
Audiophiles won’t be disappointed with the Equinox’s standard 6-speaker audio system, which offers exceptional sound clarity for the everyday drive. Choosing the RS or Premier trim also lets you upgrade to the 7-speaker Bose premium audio system.
Safety
Safety is always paramount in the minds of SUV buyers. So, it’s no surprise that the 2023 Equinox comes well-equipped with the latest in safety and driver assistance tech. You’ll find features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking as part of the standard Chevy Safety Assist suite. Other available safety features include adaptive cruise control and front and rear park assist. The Equinox also comes standard with a helpful Rear Vision Camera, which makes parking much easier.
