The Sun and Infotainment package adds a panoramic sunroof, an upgraded driver information display, an 8-inch touchscreen, a second USB port in the front, two USB ports in the armrest bin and two charge-only USB ports in back. The LT offers two notable feature packages. Stepping up to the LT adds xenon headlights, rear privacy glass, a leather-wrapped shift knob, an eight-way power driver seat (with two-way lumbar adjustment), auxiliary rear-seat release levers and satellite radio. It does open the door to an expanded range of exterior colors and availability of all-wheel drive, however, so it's worth considering if you want the least expensive AWD model. It's pricier and doesn't add much besides rear floor mats, a spare tire, a tire jack and a digital compass. It's a built-to-order trim, however, so you're most likely going to see the next-level LS on dealer lots.

The front-drive-only base L is well equipped, and it comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, a fuel-saving engine stop-start system, a rearview camera, heated mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, a driver information display, height-adjustable front seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Chevrolet's Teen Driver watchdog modes, Bluetooth, OnStar (with 4G LTE connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot), a 7-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker audio system with a USB port, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Until we have a better understanding of the features offered in conjunction with the selection of the diesel and 2.0-liter engines, the following trim breakdown applies solely to the 1.5-liter engine. The optional engines won't be offered until later in the model year. The 1.5-liter engine is the only engine available now. Also optional is a fuel-efficient 1.6-liter diesel (137 hp, 240 lb-ft) mated to a six-speed automatic. A more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (252 hp, 260 lb-ft) is optional and comes standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder (170 horsepower, 203 pound-feet of torque) matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. Three engines are offered on the Equinox. Notably, we picked the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox as one of Edmunds' Best Small SUVs for 2018. If you can look past its small cargo area, you'll be rewarded with a comfortable ride, roomy cabin and one of the best touchscreen systems in the business.

The Equinox is not the most exciting compact crossover to drive, but it is one of the best all-rounders in the class. Tech features are also abundant, with every Equinox boasting a touchscreen display and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. The Equinox features plenty of advanced safety equipment, from standard items such as a rearview camera and Chevy's Teen Driver reporting feature to a top-down parking camera system and lane departure warning and intervention. You'll appreciate the extra space because the 29.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats is smaller than most in this class. There's plenty of legroom for tall passengers in all outboard seats - though the panoramic sunroof reduces headroom for those in the rear - and the back seats fold flat at the pull of a lever to increase the size of the cargo area to 63.5 cubic feet. The downsizing has barely impacted the Equinox's spacious interior. Even if you don't go for the diesel option, the standard engines all deliver improved fuel economy figures compared to the previous Equinox. Chevy says the most economical of these, an optional 1.6-liter diesel engine, will achieve an impressive 40 mpg on the highway. The new Equinox is smaller and lighter than the vehicle it replaces, and it's powered exclusively by turbocharged four-cylinder engines with standard engine stop-start technology.
