If you’re considering a new Chevy Equinox for your family in Lakeland, it’s smart to find out what auto industry experts are saying before you buy. Join Stingray Chevrolet below to find out what trusted sources like US News & World Report, Car and Driver, and Kelley Blue Book have to say about this versatile compact crossover in their Chevy Equinox reviews.

Chevy Equinox Reviews: Performance

Sharp handling and a small footprint make the Equinox a great choice for downtown Valrico driving. Auto experts at Car and Driver agree: “Agreeable and easy to drive, the Equinox handles competently, and its steering is accurate and direct.”

You’ll find similar sentiments in other Chevrolet Equinox reviews, including the one from US News & World Report. Experts there weighed in with positive words for the available 2.0L Equinox engine upgrade, which offers a horsepower rating that’s “one of the highest in the class, bested only by a couple of Jeep models.”

Chevy Equinox Reviews: Safety

If you’re in the market for a family vehicle, then safety is one of your top priorities. The 2020 Chevy Equinox was named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick, and the 2021 model earned the highest available IIHS rating of “Good” for the full range of crashworthiness tests. Its front crash prevention ability earned a rating of “Superior” for front crash prevention in a vehicle-to-vehicle crash.

As you might expect, the Chevrolet Equinox reviews only reinforce its stellar safety ratings. Now standard in 2021, Chevy Safety Assist equips every Equinox with a comprehensive suite of active driver-assistive technologies, designed to help you detect and avoid possible collisions and their dangers on the road in Brandon. In their review, Kelley Blue Book calls attention to the upgrade: “Now included are automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, plus IntelliBeam automatic headlights.”

Chevy Equinox Reviews: Infotainment

Long drives can be tough with a full cabin, but the right entertainment and comfort features can make it smooth sailing all the way to Tampa. Even at the base trim, the Chevy Equinox is well-stocked with just the features you and your family desire most. According to experts at US News & World Report, “the base model is a good choice, especially if you’re on a tighter budget. It comes standard with a well-equipped infotainment system and several active safety features.”

Over at Car and Driver, reviewers were impressed by the long list of premium features that Zephyrhills drivers can enjoy without an upgrade: “A 7.0-inch touchscreen (or optional 8.0-inch screen) displays Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment interface atop the Equinox’s dash; the system continues to impress with its ease of use and quick responses. Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto™ compatibility are standard, as are Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and an auxiliary input jack. Standard onboard Wi-Fi makes the Equinox one of the best-connected crossovers.”
