2020 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This powertrain delivers a solid balance of efficiency and responsiveness — expect around 26 MPG combined under normal driving conditions. The turbocharged setup means you get spirited acceleration from a stop and confident highway merging, which matters whether you're navigating I-75 through downtown Detroit or cruising out to Dearborn and beyond.

Most importantly, this Equinox is equipped with All-Wheel Drive — a genuine asset for Michigan drivers. Detroit winters are no joke, and having AWD means better traction on snow-packed roads, icy overpasses, and the kind of unpredictable February mornings that catch front-wheel-drive vehicles off guard.
 

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

The LT trim sits in the sweet spot of the Equinox lineup — above the base LS but loaded with features that make everyday driving genuinely enjoyable. LT models typically include an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Wi-Fi hotspot, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and keyless entry. The interior is practical and comfortable, with generous cargo space behind the rear seats and a layout that feels intuitive whether you're a tech-savvy buyer or prefer simplicity.

Rear-seat passengers get respectable legroom for a compact SUV, making this a legitimate option for small families or anyone who regularly carries passengers on longer drives across the Metro Detroit region.
 

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The third-generation Equinox — which covers the 2018–2021 model years — represented a significant improvement over its predecessors in terms of reliability and refinement. Consumer and owner feedback generally points to solid long-term durability, with the 1.5T engine proving dependable when oil changes are kept up and basic maintenance is performed on schedule.

Common ownership notes include watching the engine oil consumption on early 1.5T engines — a known quirk that GM addressed through software updates. Checking oil between changes is a simple habit that keeps this engine running strong. Transmission fluid, spark plugs, and coolant service at appropriate intervals are the main items to budget for at higher mileage. Overall, owners who stay on top of maintenance consistently report low repair costs and high satisfaction with the Equinox's ride comfort and practicality.
