This buyer's guide aims to help you make an educated decision about whether or not to buy the 2018 Chevy Equinox.
The standard engine is available in front- or all-wheel-drive. Upgrading to a 2.0-liter borrowed from the Buick Envision brings a nine-speed automatic. There's also an available 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine, both mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It comes with a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that loses 12 horsepower from the outgoing engine but tacks on 31 more pound-feet of torque.
There's also new technology including a Safety Alert seat, surround-view cameras, low-speed automatic braking and forward collision warning. Coupled with its efficient trio of newly turbocharged engines, that adds up to impressive gains in fuel economy (more on that later). Chevrolet introduced an all-new third-generation version of its flagship crossover for 2018, giving it a sleeker, more sculpted exterior look that's more in line with other Chevrolet car models and shaving 400 pounds off the vehicle's total weight, a 10 percent reduction. It's now the second best-selling model for Chevy after the Silverado pickup. Though it's not quite at the top of the sales pyramid for its segment, the Chevrolet Equinox has benefited from American consumers' wholehearted embrace of crossovers, with sales of nearly 2 million units since its launch in 2009.
