2012 Chevrolet Equinox

This 2012 Chevrolet Equinox Review will look in depth at this vehicle and its features so you can make an informed decision if you are thinking of purchasing one in the near, or even in the distant future.  The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox now comes with a forward collision alert, the rearview camera which is standard, as well as a lane-departure system.  However, it did not come with the back seat video entertainment system this time around, which is actually a disappointment to a number of persons.

The rear seat of this car slides back; thus creating a huge space.  Its legroom around the back is indeed a huge selling point for this model.  Another huge advantage of the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox is the quality of its ride.  It affords the driver a stable ride that is very well planted.  It also comes with equipment that can compete with any other vehicles on the market, as well as a healthy number of standard features and great upgrades as well; such as a navigation system that is hard-drive based.

There are two types of engines that come with the 2012 Chevrolet Equinox; the 182 horsepower inline 4, or a 264 hp V6.  These two engines come with four cylinders which is renowned for its fuel economy, as well as its reputable acceleration.  Some persons are not completely sold on their fuel economy though; seeing it as merely average at best.

Admittedly, there are a small number of insignificant weaknesses such as the ones you can find with the GMC Terrain.  However, the biggest one is the small cargo facility it has when compared to its counterparts, the Toyota Rav4 and the Honda CR-V.  In addition, it does not really match up with respect to how it manoeuvres.  Outside of these small cons, there is nothing really wrong with the series, and consumers have been satisfied with its performance and handling to date.

The 2012 Chevrolet Equinox is obtainable in the LT, the LTZ as well as the LS trim level, and comes with standard equipment for the LS which is inclusive of a rear seat that both slides and reclines, a partially powered driver’s seat wherein you can only adjust the height, seventeen inch alloy wheels, full power accessories, air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth, a steering wheel that has tilt and telescoping features as well as audio controls.  In addition, it comes with OnStar and a sound system that has 6 speakers and a CD player, in addition to an auxiliary audio jack and a satellite radio.
