2018 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

If you're searching for a dependable, all-wheel-drive SUV at a price that makes sense, this 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT for sale at Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit, MI is worth a serious look. With AWD capability, a fuel-efficient turbocharged engine, and a well-equipped LT trim, this Equinox checks a lot of boxes for Michigan drivers who need a versatile crossover that handles everything from city streets to snowy expressways.

About This 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LT

This 2018 Equinox LT is a 4-door Sport Utility with all-wheel drive and 114,585 miles on the odometer — a number that's entirely reasonable for a third-generation Equinox that has earned a reputation for durability. At this mileage, you're getting a vehicle that has been broken in and proven, while still having plenty of road life ahead. Buyers looking for a used Chevrolet Equinox in Detroit and Wayne County will appreciate that this generation of Equinox was fully redesigned, offering a lighter, more modern platform than its predecessor. Stock #10624 is ready for inspection and test drive at our Detroit lot.

The LT trim sits at the sweet spot of the Equinox lineup — above the base L but loaded with features that most buyers actually want and use day to day. It's the trim Chevy sells the most for a reason.

2018 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Equinox LT is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This powertrain was a major selling point of the third-generation Equinox redesign, delivering a strong balance of performance and fuel efficiency that the older 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine couldn't match.

In real-world driving, the 1.5T produces 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque — enough grunt to feel confident merging onto I-75 or I-94, navigating Detroit's surface streets, or carrying a full load of passengers and cargo. The all-wheel-drive system adds meaningful traction confidence during Michigan winters, automatically distributing power between the front and rear axles as conditions demand. The 6-speed automatic shifts smoothly and keeps the engine in its efficient range, with EPA estimates around 25 city / 30 highway mpg for AWD models — respectable numbers for a compact crossover.

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

The LT trim comes well-stocked with comfort and technology features that make everyday driving genuinely enjoyable. Expect a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth, and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability. The interior is designed around practicality — a 60/40 split-folding rear seat opens up a generous cargo area, and storage cubbies are thoughtfully placed throughout the cabin.
 

Comfort and Convenience

LT models typically include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote vehicle start, and keyless entry — features that Wayne County drivers will appreciate when January temps drop well below freezing. The driver's seat offers power adjustment, and the overall interior quality of the third-generation Equinox is a notable step up from the previous generation's cabin.

Safety Technology

This generation of Equinox introduced a strong suite of available safety technology, including forward collision alert, lane keep assist, rear park assist, and a rear vision camera. Many of these features come standard or are included on LT builds, making this a safety-conscious choice for families and commuters alike.

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The third-generation Chevrolet Equinox (2018–present) received significantly better reliability marks than its predecessor. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, while newer in design, has accumulated a solid ownership track record when maintained with regular oil changes — Chevy recommends synthetic oil and adhering to the GM Oil Life Monitor system. Common ownership feedback highlights smooth ride quality, intuitive technology, and strong all-weather performance as standout positives.

Prospective buyers should ensure oil change records are available, as turbocharged engines benefit from consistent maintenance. At 114,585 miles, it's smart to budget for typical wear items — brakes, tires, and possibly accessory belts — but structurally and mechanically, a well-maintained Equinox at this mileage should have substantial life remaining. J.D. Power and Consumer Reports have both rated this generation of Equinox favorably in predicted reliability within its class.
