About This 2020 Chevrolet Equinox LT

This 2020 Equinox LT is a four-door Sport Utility with front-wheel drive, well-suited to Detroit's mix of city streets, expressways, and suburban commutes. At 156,032 miles, this vehicle has clearly seen everyday use, and that mileage should be factored into your buying decision — but the Equinox platform is known for its durability when properly maintained, making higher-mileage examples viable for budget-conscious buyers looking for dependable transportation.

2020 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Chevrolet's turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. This combination delivers a comfortable balance of efficiency and everyday power, producing around 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. In real-world driving, the turbo four provides responsive acceleration from a stop and confident merging on I-75, I-96, and I-94. The six-speed automatic shifts predictably and is well-matched to the engine's power band. Front-wheel drive keeps things straightforward and is perfectly adequate for most Detroit-area weather conditions, though buyers who face frequent heavy snow may want to consider winter tires during Michigan's colder months.
 

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

Technology and Comfort

The LT trim steps up meaningfully from the base LS, bringing a range of features that make daily driving more comfortable and connected. Expect amenities such as a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Wi-Fi hotspot, heated front seats, remote start, and a power driver's seat. The interior offers a clean, logical layout with quality materials for its class, and rear passengers benefit from generous legroom for a compact SUV.
 

Cargo and Practicality

The Equinox offers up to 63.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, making it genuinely useful for grocery runs, weekend getaways to northern Michigan, or hauling gear around Metro Detroit. The rear seats slide and recline, adding flexibility for passengers and cargo alike.
 

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

The 2020 Equinox benefits from a significant redesign that Chevrolet carried out in 2018, addressing earlier criticisms around interior quality and fuel economy. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in this generation has a generally solid reputation, though some owners have reported oil consumption concerns — a detail worth monitoring and discussing with a mechanic during any pre-purchase inspection. The six-speed automatic is considered reliable in normal use. Overall, the Equinox earns respectable reliability scores from consumer outlets and is a manageable vehicle to own and maintain, with widely available parts and service at countless shops throughout the Detroit metro area. At this mileage, budgeting for maintenance items like brakes, tires, and fluid services is simply smart ownership planning.
