2022 Chevy Equinox

The Equinox updates its exterior style to match modern appeal. For buyers who want more personality in their SUV, the 2022 Equinox delivers a softer edge to the boldness of SUV design with more curves than hard corners. In the front end, the hood shape cuts across the top of the grille facing to connect the standard LED headlights and daytime running lights in a single line. Unlike cladding on most SUVs, the Equinox clads the lower side walls in another straight line, balancing the sculpted wave in the sidewall of the doors. Even standing still, the Equinox appears to be in motion. Black exterior details sharpen the look of any paint color, and standard 17-inch aluminum wheels add contrast to the overall appearance.

Driving the 2022 Equinox should satisfy drivers seeking a well-mannered ride that provides insulation from road noise and bumps. Handling is confident, steering is precise, and the ride height offers a good view of what’s ahead. Parking should be relatively easy due to its smaller size for SUVs, and in upper trims, buyers can utilize the front and rear parking assist feature to make parking simpler. The standard rearview camera does make backing up safer, and the available HD Surround View feature gives the driver a full view around the entire Equinox to assist in parking duty. Buyers who expect to spend most of their time driving on pavement will find the 2022 Equinox to be a good fit for managing inclement weather in comfort and safety.

Comfortable, supportive seating welcomes passengers into the 2022 Equinox with a spacious interior in both front and rear. The driver’s seat has eight-way powered functions available across all trims, with standard manual adjustment for the entry-level, and with the Premium trim, the driver’s seat has two memory settings available. Heated front and rear seats are available on select trims, and ventilated front seats are optional for the Premium trim. Leather seats further elevate the style of the interior for upper trims. Keyless entry and push-button ignition mean you can leave your key in your purse or pocket and be on the road without having to search for your keys, and remote start can be added in upper trims or through connected services.

Once you get on the road, active noise cancellation further insulates the cabin from road noise for a quieter ride in addition to the acoustic windshield, all standard equipment for the 2022 Equinox. Technology for Equinox buyers is robust across the board, and buyers gain a generous set of features even at the entry-level. Perhaps the most enticing is the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which comes with every Equinox, followed by standard Bluetooth streaming and voice command pass-through functions, all accessed via the standard seven-inch touchscreen in the center stack. A three-month all-access subscription to Sirius XM is also standard, and upper trims gain a larger eight-inch touchscreen with options like built-in navigation and cloud access to personalize vehicle settings.

Chevy provides the 2022 Equinox with a comprehensive system of safety features for all trim levels, starting with the standard Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver-assist technology. A generous set of tech features keeps your Equinox safer on any roadway, with preventative tech like Front Pedestrian Braking or Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking. Such features can save lives by offering braking and steering assistance to avoid or mitigate an impact. The Lane Keep Assist feature can help make highway driving less fatiguing, and Lane Departure Warning issues an alert to the driver if you accidentally drift. With the Following Distance Indicator, your Equinox can warn you when you’re too close to other vehicles to safely stop in a hurry.

In addition to all these standard features, Chevy also gives 2022 Equinox buyers complimentary OnStar services with the Security and Safety package. If an accident can’t be avoided, OnStar will automatically call for emergency assistance and send help, even if passengers don’t respond. In times when you need roadside assistance for a blown tire or breakdown, OnStar is there. Turn-by-turn navigation and stolen vehicle assistance are also part of the package, making this service a valuable feature of owning an Equinox.
