The new Equinox comes with a cabin that's more spacious than you might expect in a compact silhouette and it provides a well-balanced ride along with solid fuel efficiency. In addition, the new 2024 Chevy Equinox has achieved a high level of popularity thanks to its affordable price tag. Here's a general overview of the new 2024 Chevy Equinox that's available for a test drive right now at Performance Chevrolet in Elkins WV.
What's new for 2024?
The Chevy Equinox continues into the 2024 model year without major changes. This popular gasoline-powered compact crossover does add two new metallic paint colors: Lakeshore Blue and Riptide Blue. In addition, Chevy has revised the Driver Confidence II package, adding rear cross-traffic alert and a blind-spot monitoring feature, making it available on the base LS trim for a modest additional investment.
Trim levels
The new 2024 Chevy Equinox offers buyers in Buckhannon and Parsons a simple total of four trims to choose from:
- LS
- LT
- RS
- Premier
The engine and performance
The new Chevy Equinox for 2024 runs with a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that can generate 175 horsepower and 203 pound-feet of torque. It operates with a six-speed automatic transmission that performs seamlessly. Front-wheel drive comes standard and you can get all-wheel drive at every trim level in the new Equinox lineup. The Chevy Equinox with all-wheel drive can travel up to 60 mph in about 8 seconds and the towing capacity maximum goes up to 1,500 pounds.
Fuel economy
In the estimation of the EPA, the front-wheel drive Chevy Equinox can give you 26 MPG in urban areas and a max of 31 MPG on highways around Belington and Philippi. If you elect to go with all-wheel drive, you'll get 24 MPG on city streets and 30 MPG on the highway. Those are very solid numbers in the compact SUV category and that’s why the new Equinox can help you save money in today's high-priced times.
