2022 Chevrolet Equinox Review

Chevrolet Equinox Overview

Chevy's compact SUV is making a trip to the plastic surgeon for its 2022 model year. With more attractive styling, this latest 2022 Chevrolet Equinox also includes updates on available trims and engines. 

With the 2022 Equinox coming out this year, it is apparent that Chevrolet has plans for an updated version of their popular SUV.

The current-generation model was introduced in 2018, so we can expect the second half of its lifecycle before another fully redesigned vehicle is released with improved features and performance capabilities. 

What's New?

  • R.S. trim with sporty aesthetics joins the lineup
  • Revised front and rear styling
  • A 2.0-liter turbo-four rejoins the engine lineup above the standard 1.5T powerplant

Performance & Fuel Economy

The return of the 2.0-liter turbo-four is triumphant, but it's not optional on base models for 2022! The Equinox still has a 1.5 liter I4 that makes 170hp/203 lb.-ft torque with standard equipment and will be available in both gas and hybrid form. 

When it comes to performance, the Equinox 1.5T is more than capable of meeting your needs with a scorching 8 seconds on average from 60 mph up through 124 mph! The more minor turbo-four works in tandem against an automatic transmission and fuel economy measurements around 25/30 mpg city/highway, which are sure not wrong at anything you might want for this vehicle type brake by its competitors. The smaller turbo-four works with a six-speed automatic to give you reliable fuel efficiency on any road trip (25/30 mpg city/highway). You can choose between FWD or AWD for your driving pleasure. We expect this same option to be available across all trims in 2.0T. 

The larger-displacement four-cylinder should yield 227hp and 258 lb-ft if the 2 liter generates the same output as 2021 Blazer2.0T's model with an acceleration time of mid 6 seconds. 

The new engine offers more torque at lower RPMs, making driving easier on your back. The stronger turbo-four employs the help of a nine-speed automatic for shifting duties. The last time it was offered, this 2 liter Equinox returned 22/28 mpg depending on drive type to make its engine more efficient than ever before. 

The New 2022 Chevrolet Equinox R.S.

Equinox is switching over to the new R.S. trim level for 2022. As with most vehicles that carry this edition, there are aesthetic additions but no performance benefits. So buyers should keep their eyes peeled! The Equinox comes standard with a gloss black grille, 19-inch wheels and exterior badging. The R.S. shift knob is a bonus for those who want to take their car from good...to great. It also includes an R.S. shift knob and upholstery, which has red contrast stitching that distinguishes it from other vehicles. 

Our Score- 7.7/10

The Equinox is perfect for people who need plenty of space but not so much cargo with its flexible design. The ride and handling are okay, and it uses too much fuel anyway. The ride and handling are refined but use too much power compared to other vehicles on this list. The technology infotainment system is intuitive if you want more modern features in your future car.

The rest of the interior design feels bland when looking around elsewhere.

Chevy Bolt EV: New Design, Enhanced Features and Cheaper Price

Image
It's 2022, and the Chevy Bolt EV is still not only alive but kicking. The 2022 redesign has given it a more futuristic look, with an enhanced interior design to match. With a new front-drive powertrain that delivers near-instant acceleration, this redesigned electric Hatchback is sure to be the best car on the road! The Chevrolet Bolt EV is expected to have a range of up to 259 miles on a single charge by 2022. It's an excellent SUV with a top-notch interior, but it can't compete with the Tesla Model 3 in terms of performance. However, the Bolt's low price, roomy interior, and pleasant driving characteristics should be compelling selling features. The all-new Bolt EV, which launches in 2022, will appeal to those who want a more SUV-like vehicle with greater backseat space and Super Cruise hands-free capability. What's New in 2022? The 2022 Bolt EV undergoes a major makeover, which includes new looks on the outside and inside. With the addition of a newly accessi...

All Eyes on the Chevrolet Corvette: The Current Model Took a new Move with Performance and Affordability

Image
You know Chevrolet, the company that brought you the Chevrolet Corvette. The 2022 Chevrolet Corvette is a mainstay of performance-car culture, and with their newest C8 model, they are not resting on their past success. With an increase in power and still an affordable price tag, it's time to take an all-new Chevrolet Corvette for a spin! The Corvette is a track day favorite with the Z51 package, thanks to its superior performance and surgically exact handling--but its ride over rough terrain is surprisingly smooth, and the cabin is pleasant enough for everyday use. The interior is full of high-quality substance, and the dashboard features a lotus design. Both a coupe and a convertible are available, with an open-air roof panel on the coupe for out-of-the-ordinary motoring. The second-row seats are folded down to give you more than enough cargo space for a weekend away, and the vehicle's attainable price, excellent performance, and surprising practicality make it a 10Best winne...

2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS- A More Luxurious Version

Image
  The 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS is a more luxurious version of the off-road-ready Blazer. It has shuffled with its naming convention and is now a mid-size crossover model in the subcompact crossover segment.    2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS Exterior   The designers of the 2022 Trailblazer RS have gone out of their way to give it some style and attitude. With a wide grille, slim LED headlamps, and creases on the hood, it sports an athletic outer appearance.    The floating roof concept has become quite rigorous for SUVs, but it is well executed here. The black cladding on the car's side skirts provides a nice bit of symmetry. It gets a pair of character lines- just below the beltline and above the side skirts to run along the side of the Trailblazer RS. The pointed shape of the taillights with the C-pillar helps to give the sheet metal some visual pop. The two-tone and five-spoke wheels provide the Trailblazer with RS some performance flare....
