Changes and Improvements

Modest changes are prepared for the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox, including a restyled front end as well as upgraded interior. A full redesign goes to the very least an additional year away.

Design – Inside and Outside look

The small styling update bestowed upon the 2016 Equinox brings the design from the anonymous crowd a little, with a much more modern front-end appearance and also a better connection to the current Chevy styles.

Chevrolet vehicles have actually been offered a new dual-port grille layout over the previous couple of years, as well as now the Equinox steps in with the rest of the lineup; coming with the brand-new grille is a much more shaped reduced front fascia design, as well as brand-new reflector-style headlamps on all versions, with LED running lamps on the LT and LTZ.

Or else the Equinox proceeds with basically the exact same good-looking sheetmetal and profile it’s had because 2010– which has matured rather well, considering.

Taking the entire design in from the outdoors, the Equinox impresses as a type of scaled-down variation of the huge Chevrolet Traverse three-row crossover. The Equinox is simply a little chunkier, with probably merely a little much more suggestions from Chevy’s vehicles filtering right into the a lot more upright flanks. That said, the Equinox design looks much more auto compared to truck, ultimately, as well as it still suits well along with the brand’s cars, with nicely done percentages and sharp, careful outlining.

As for the interior, the 2016 Equinox acquires an equivalent brightening, with brand-new chrome shift switches, brand-new graphics for the instrument panel, and also a revamped center pile with a new storage rack. Fabrics have been updated on the L and also LS designs for a far better sensation of quality as well as there’s likewise a newly offered Saddle Up interior color.

Safety

The Equinox includes government mandated front air bags, antilock brakes as well as a digital security system. Readily available safety features consist of a dead spot warning system, rear cross-traffic alert, forward crash caution and street departure caution.

Under the Hood

In the engine area there are no changes. Both engines mate to a six-speed auto transmission that provides power to the front wheels as common and also all 4 wheels as an alternative.

Gas economy numbers will be released later on, but I anticipate the same at 22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and also 26 mpg integrated with the 2.4-liter and also front-wheel drive, as well as 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 20 mpg integrated with the V-6 as well as front-wheel drive. Adding all-wheel drive drops the four-cylinder to 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and also 23 mpg incorporated, while the V-6 with all-wheel drive falls to 16 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, as well as 19 mpg integrated.

2016 Chevrolet Equinox Price

The 2016 Chevrolet Equinox will certainly taking place sale across the nation this autumn. Rates information will certainly be published better to its launch.

In 2015, the Equinox bases at $24,520 and I don’t expect a substantial walk. Seek the 2016 version to pushpin perhaps one more $50 to $1,000 to the existing cost.
