2021 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 an estimated 170 horsepower and is well-regarded for balancing responsive acceleration with real-world fuel efficiency — typically returning around 25 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. The all-wheel-drive system makes this Equinox especially well-suited for Michigan winters, giving drivers added grip on snow-covered Metro Detroit streets and icy Wayne County roads.
 

Chevrolet Equinox LT Features and Interior

The LT trim gives you a noticeably more comfortable and connected experience than the base model. Expect features such as a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, remote start, heated front seats, a power driver's seat, and keyless entry. Safety tech on the 2021 Equinox LT typically includes forward collision alert, lane keep assist, rear park assist, and a rear vision camera — features that matter whether you're navigating downtown Detroit or cruising out to the suburbs. The interior layout is practical and family-friendly, with a well-sized cargo area that expands with the rear seats folded.
