2021 Chevy Equinox Reviews

Since arriving at dealerships earlier this year, the 2021 Chevy Equinox has been generating buzz with drivers across Raleigh. Before you buy, you’ll want to know what automotive experts are saying about this fuel-efficient, family-friendly SUV. Explore the Chevy Equinox reviews from trusted sources like Car and Driver, Kelley Blue Book, and more with Hendrick Chevrolet Buick GMC Southpoint!

2021 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews: Performance

In their road test, Car and Driver reviewers found the Equinox agile and easy to handle in Cary traffic: “Agreeable and easy to drive, the Equinox handles competently, and its steering is accurate and direct.”

Meanwhile, experts at U.S. News & World Report appreciated the energetic performance of its 2.0L engine, noting that “…the horsepower rating from the larger engine is one of the highest in the class, bested only by a couple of Jeep models.”

2021 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews: Safety

You need your SUV to be as safe as it is capable. That’s why the 2021 Equinox is equipped with the latest safety technology systems to help you avoid and mitigate collisions. The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) awarded the 2021 Equinox with an impressive 5-star overall crash test rating. Similarly, the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) rated the Equinox “Good” for all crash tests and “Superior” for accident avoidance and mitigation — no doubt thanks to its comprehensive suite of active driver-assistance features.

In today’s competitive SUV and crossover segments, Chapel Hill drivers expect the latest safety features. Reviewers at Kelley Blue Book note that the 2021 Equinox has everything you’ll find on top competitors: “Now included are automatic emergency braking, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist, plus IntelliBeam automatic headlights.”

2021 Chevrolet Equinox Reviews: Entertainment

Another key metric for today’s SUVs is in-cabin entertainment and convenience features. When choosing an SUV, it’s important to find out whether the features you desire most are accessible at the base trim, or if they’re only included with a costly upgrade. In their 2021 Chevy Equinox review, experts at U.S. News & World Report offer plenty of praise for its selection of standard tech features: “The base model is a good choice, especially if you’re on a tighter budget. It comes standard with a well-equipped infotainment system and several active safety features. The Equinox LT is another solid pick as it’s the first trim to offer available amenities like leather seats, a larger touch screen, and navigation.”

Sentiments are similar over at Car and Driver, where reviewers raved about the array of advanced infotainment features inside the cabin: “A 7.0-inch touchscreen (or optional 8.0-inch screen) displays Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment interface atop the Equinox’s dash; the system continues to impress with its ease of use and quick responses. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard, as are Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB connectivity, and an auxiliary input jack. Standard onboard Wi-Fi makes the Equinox one of the best-connected crossovers.”
