About This 2019 Chevrolet Equinox LT

The third-generation Equinox — which debuted for the 2018 model year — was a significant step forward for Chevrolet in the competitive compact SUV segment. The 2019 model year benefited from the refinements made after the initial launch, making it one of the more polished years to buy. At 121,918 miles, this is a high-mileage vehicle, but the Equinox platform is well-regarded for its durability when properly maintained. Buyers who prioritize value over low mileage will find this Equinox an attractive, budget-conscious option in a segment where prices can climb quickly.

The LT trim sits in the sweet spot of the Equinox lineup — above the base LS but below the Premier — giving you a meaningful set of features without a luxury price tag. It's the trim most Equinox buyers actually want.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This powertrain produces around 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque — modest numbers on paper, but the turbo delivers its torque early in the rev range, which makes city driving in Detroit feel effortless. Stop-and-go traffic on I-94, the Lodge Freeway, or Telegraph Road is where this low-end torque really earns its keep.

Front-wheel drive keeps the drivetrain simple and cost-effective to maintain, and the six-speed automatic is a proven, reliable unit. Fuel economy on this engine hovers around 26 MPG city and 31 MPG highway, which is competitive for a compact SUV and a genuine benefit for daily commuters.

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

The LT trim on the 2019 Equinox comes equipped with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a rearview camera, remote keyless entry, and cruise control. Dual-zone automatic climate control is a key comfort upgrade over the base trim, meaning driver and passenger can each set their preferred temperature — a welcome feature during Michigan winters and humid summers.

The interior is spacious for a compact SUV, with rear passengers enjoying generous legroom. Cargo space behind the rear seats is practical for grocery runs, weekend trips, or hauling gear. The LT also typically includes power-adjustable driver's seating, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel — small touches that make everyday driving noticeably more comfortable.

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The 2019 Equinox has a generally solid reliability reputation. J.D. Power rated the 2019 model above average in initial quality, and real-world owners frequently praise the smooth ride, easy-to-use technology, and manageable running costs. The 1.5-liter turbo engine has been noted by some owners for occasional oil consumption — a known characteristic on early examples of this engine — so it's worth asking about the vehicle's maintenance history and checking the oil level before purchase.

Common items to watch on higher-mileage Equinoxes include the brake system, front-end suspension components, and timing chain service intervals. With proper care, these engines and transmissions are known to run well into high mileage, and parts availability in Metro Detroit is excellent through both GM dealers and independent shops.
