About This 2020 Chevrolet Equinox LT

The 2020 model year sits squarely in Chevrolet's second-generation Equinox era — a generation that won widespread praise for its refined ride, updated technology, and vastly improved fuel economy over its predecessor. At 97,655 miles, this Equinox is well past its break-in period and has proven itself reliable enough to keep running strong. For Michigan drivers who rack up highway miles commuting across Wayne County, across the metro area, or heading up north, a vehicle with demonstrated real-world durability matters more than a low odometer on an untested model.
 

2020 Chevrolet Equinox Performance and Engine

Turbocharged Efficiency for Michigan Roads

Under the hood sits a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, driving the front wheels. This powertrain combination is one of the reasons the Equinox became a top-selling compact SUV — it delivers a strong balance of responsive acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency. The turbo makes urban stop-and-go driving on Detroit's city streets feel peppy, while the overdrive ratio on the 6-speed keeps highway RPMs low, stretching every gallon of fuel as far as possible. Front-wheel drive is the practical, cost-effective choice for the majority of Michigan drivers, offering solid traction in wet weather and lower long-term maintenance costs compared to AWD systems.
 

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

What the LT Trim Brings to the Table

The LT trim is the Equinox's most popular configuration — and for good reason. It steps up meaningfully from the base LS with a more complete technology and comfort package. LT buyers typically enjoy features like Chevrolet's Infotainment 3 system with a touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and a suite of driver-assistance technologies including lane-keep assist, forward collision alert, and automatic emergency braking. The cabin itself is thoughtfully designed with a wide center console, plenty of USB ports, and rear cargo space that handles everything from grocery runs around Detroit to weekend getaway luggage with ease.
 

Chevrolet Equinox Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Industry Data Say

The second-generation Equinox has earned a solid reputation among owners and automotive analysts. J.D. Power awarded the 2020 Equinox strong marks for initial quality, and the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, while it had some early-generation hiccups in the 2018 model year, matured considerably by 2020 with software and hardware refinements. Owners consistently highlight the comfortable ride, intuitive infotainment system, and low cost of routine maintenance as standout positives. Routine oil changes, tire rotations, and brake service are affordable and widely available throughout Detroit and Wayne County. At under 100,000 miles, this Equinox still has plenty of life ahead — most well-maintained examples run confidently past 150,000 miles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox a good buy?

Yes — the 2020 Equinox is widely considered one of the better values in the compact SUV segment. It offers a comfortable interior, modern technology, strong fuel economy from its turbocharged engine, and a proven reliability record. At a used price point, it delivers features and quality that would cost significantly more in a newer model.
 

How many miles is too many on a 2020 Equinox?

With proper maintenance history, a 2020 Equinox at 97,655 miles is not considered high-mileage for the platform. These vehicles are engineered to last well beyond 150,000 miles. The key is confirming that routine services — oil changes, transmission service, and coolant flushes — have been performed on schedule.
 

What does the Equinox LT trim include over the base LS?

The LT trim adds a more complete feature set including upgraded infotainment with a larger touchscreen, smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), available heated seats and steering wheel, remote vehicle start, enhanced driver-safety technology, and additional interior convenience features. It represents the sweet spot of value and equipment in the Equinox lineup.
 

Is front-wheel drive okay for Michigan winters?

Front-wheel drive handles Michigan winters capably when paired with a good set of winter tires. The Equinox's FWD system provides solid traction in snow and slush, and many Michigan drivers choose FWD specifically for its lower purchase price and reduced maintenance compared to AWD, especially in an urban driving environment like Detroit.
 

What should I check before buying a used Equinox with high mileage?

Request the vehicle history report to verify accident history and service records, inspect the condition of the timing chain, check for any coolant or oil leaks around the 1.5-liter turbo engine, and have an independent mechanic perform a pre-purchase inspection. These steps give you full confidence in your purchase.
