The 2017 Chevrolet Equinox, part of the model's second generation, is a well-rounded compact SUV available in four trims: L, LS, LT, and Premier. The standard drivetrain is FWD, with AWD optional for each variant except the base L. Engine options include a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder or a stronger 301-horsepower 3.6-liter V6, both paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Key safety features such as optional forward collision and lane departure warnings help reduce risks on the road, while Chevrolet's MyLink Infotainment system offers tech highlights with a 7-inch touchscreen, including Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. The 2017 model saw minor changes, with the addition of more standard features for the LT trim and above.
