Exploring the Features of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox

The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox is widely praised for being a compact SUV that offers the best of both worlds: a premium, spacious SUV experience with the nimble, economical body of a crossover. Find out more about what the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox has to offer by reading the following article.

Premium Fit & Finish

One of the most notable features of the brand new Equinox is its build quality. Ranked as the No. 1 Affordable SUV by U.S. News, the Chevrolet Equinox offers a ride quality that’s refined and comfortable. The interior boasts a sophisticated design, with soft, pristine materials used throughout.

Powertrain

Under the hood, the Chevy Equinox can be fitted with either a 182-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, which achieves up to 32 mpg on the highway, or a powerful 3.0-liter 264-horsepower V6 that can tow up to 3,500 pounds. Either engine will come with a six-speed automatic transmission that allows for smooth and precise shifting.

Convenience

The Chevrolet Equinox comes equipped with features that make your daily drive much easier, such as a spacious cabin, an available height-adjustable tailgate, and rear seats that slide forward and back to find the perfect balance of legroom and trunk space.

Safety

Cutting-edge features that make you safer are what the Chevy Equinox is all about. Lane Departure Warning, an option on the Equinox, detects unintentional lane changes and vibrates the steering wheel to alert the driver. Forward Collision Alert uses a high-resolution camera-based system that detects when the Equinox is on a path towards a front-end crash. When the system detects that a collision is near, it warns the driver visibly and audibly, while charging the brakes for optimum stopping efficiency.

Luxury

For an indulgent driving experience, the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox features options such as an eight-speaker Bose system with an iPod interface, a 7-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, perforated leather seating, auto-dimming mirrors, and tinted rear windows.

Tire Buying Guide

The best tires for your Chevrolet will depend on the type of driving you do and what kind of ride you prefer.

For instance, all-season tires are good for year-round traction. They’re comfortable and last longer than most other tires, but they don’t provide the best handling. Performance all-season tires handle better, which is good for both driving excitement and safety, but they won’t last as long as regular all-seasons. Ultra-high performance tires are better for handling, but tend to be less comfortable and less durable. Watch the video to learn about tire ratings and other important things to consider.
