Chevrolet Equinox was first about the scene in 2005 when it became the latest Chevrolet compact SUV. It was rather successful but did not arrive at the title where Chevy planned it. With that thought, they provided a major overhaul in 2010 and remained loyal to their updates, here we are five years later, get an update in the form of Chevrolet Equinox 2016.
First, let’s start by saying that while it seems to be a big reshuffle again, this version is far closer to the old one than the previous predecessor. This is evolution and not a revolution as we usually do in recent years. The plan here is to make fresh, cleanser, and overall fresher, attracting younger and wider attention than their current customer base. It might be successful but in such a competitive segment, it doesn’t hurt to get an increase that will definitely produce more sales. We respect the fact that Chevy decides to update it but leaves many things in and just increases and adds more interesting things. In mind, they leave all positive and listen to their customers; We only have high praise in that.
2016 Chevy Equinox Design
The exterior change is rather decent, but no one writes about the house. Yes, it looks, but it doesn’t get to what extent you have to wonder if it’s an equinox or a new model. First, the front end features most of the changes and it is the most obvious to be found. Starting we have a new projector headlights, LED Daytime running lights for LTZs and LTZ, new fog lights for LTZ, freshly refreshed grille which is substantially larger than before and LED signature lights. On the higher LTZ and LTZ trim, you will find the grille to chrome also gives it a unique look.
This side is almost unchanged than the new 17-inch wheels which are the standard on the LT and LTZ models. LS trim also gets 17 inch alloys, but they are optional, meaning you have to spend a few dollars to get it. Crossover is available in these colors: White Summit, Ice Ice Metallic, Black, Metallic Black Mosaic, Night Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic Velvet, Patriot Blue Metallic, Red Tintcoat Siren, Pearl Tricoat.
To finish him, we arrived behind the Chevrolet Equinox 2016. First, there was a new taillights with a double element design, new applique for the license plate and a lower lower bumper from the bottom up. Quite a lot of things about light using LED technology that makes it quite perfected. It accommodates the exhaust that refreshes out for the V6 engine and adds the Chrome strip only to the bottom of the higher LTZ trim option.
The fact that it is still recognized as Equinox talks a lot from what Chevy has done. They managed to take a fairly successful model and made it better without sacrificing the importance of its importance that made it.
Interior styling
If you think the interior has been changed too, think again. Well to be truly honest, but there is no place as close as possible with the exterior. Central stack, for example, is a little different in design but to pay attention, you almost certainly have to have them side by side. That is, the storage rack to store your items is different, but you won’t even notice it if it’s not because of this information now. The control chart, however, has been updated, and that’s one thing that looks.
Following the addition of the outer chrome, Gear Shifter gets a new chrome trimming, and the electronic range selector button can now be found at the top of the actual gear shifter. The interior has been blessed with a new color option called “Saddle Up”. It carries an enhanced cloth, but only on Trim L and LS. Other color choices include black jets, or titanium combinations of light and black jet premium fabric or trim leather chairs.
In other places we found a standard 7-inch touch screen display with radio, which also shows you the appearance of the rearview mirror, now standard on the L and LS models. Chevrolet Equinox 2016 is also equipped with an optional side blind zone warning for those who want extra safe, and even the rear rear traffic warnings. If not, it doesn’t change. The cabin size is equal to 31.4 cubic feet the same as cargo seats with seats, and 63.7 with them.
Machines, Specifications, Fuel Savings
The machine also has no change. We found the same 2.4-liter four-cylinder unit developing 182 hp on a torque of 6,700 rpm which was quite high and 172 lb-ft around 4,900 rpm. Even though the 2.4L engine is great, you cannot help but feel the power deficit, especially when overtaking or handling larger gradients with vehicles loaded.
Here is the 3.6 liter of Optional V6 in. It kicked almost twice as much as 301 horsepower and 272 lb-ft torque. This is a real power generation and that gives you an instant kick behind every time you go a full throttle. Both engine options are mated to automatic gearbox six speeds without manual options. Power is always sent to the front wheels in a standard form, but naturally goes to fourth when the Chevrolet Equinox 2016 is equipped with all wheel drive systems.
This is the same fuel number, and unfortunately, there is no increase in this segment. 2.4L gets 26 miles per gallon on running a combination with the front wheel drive version (22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway), and that number falls to 23 mpg if the car in question has an AWD system (20/29 mpg / hwy city). V6 is much larger and stronger naturally thirsty, so it returns 16/23/18 mpg with AWD and 17/24/20 mpg with FWD.
2016 Chevrolet Equinox Release Date, Price
Chevrolet Equinox SUV 2016 starts with only $ 22,600 for the front wheel drive 2.4L inline-4 models. If you want more gadgets and trim higher, you clearly have to spend more money. LS trim will make you back around $ 25,410 while the LT and premium each worth $ 26,650 and $ 29,940. The same applies to V6 engine options too. In the end, we recommend several versions for the drive and then decide whether you need V6 or all the extra things.
