All vehicles have their standout features, but there are so many in the 2024 Chevy Equinox that it’s hard to know where to start. Its spaciousness is something to take note of, as is its above-average ride quality. It’s also a well-equipped vehicle with lots of features to explore, including great safety ones that you’re sure to find useful.

4 Reasons to Drive the 2024 Chevy Equinox

1. To Make Use of Its Spaciousness

The Equinox has a large cabin that can hold big loads of cargo. The cargo area is 29.9 cubic feet in size, while the expanded cargo volume comes to 63.9 cubic feet. The regular cargo area can hold approximately eight carry-on suitcases depending on their size, so the vehicle can hold double that with the second row folded flat.

2. To Enjoy Its Comfortable Ride Quality

There’s one engine option in the Equinox: a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder delivering 175 horsepower. It provides a comfortable ride quality that feels very relaxed and has slow and steady acceleration. Handling and shifting are also a joy in the Equinox. The steering is precise, and shifts are smooth. The ride feels best when the vehicle is equipped with the standard 17-inch wheels.

3. To Appreciate Its Driver Assistance Features

A Rear Vision Camera is standard in the Equinox, making it easy to back up and see what vehicles are right on your tail while you’re driving. The car has Forward Collision Alert, giving you a warning if it’s likely you’ll crash into the vehicle in front of you. The feature also has a tailgating alert, allowing you to adjust your following distance when you need to. The Following Distance Indicator can also help you maintain a safe following distance.

Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert makes reversing safer, as this feature warns you if there’s a car approaching from either side to the rear of your vehicle when you’re reversing. Standard Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning briefly turns your steering wheel to capture your attention if the vehicle detects you’re unintentionally leaving your lane. There are several more driver assistance features in addition to those.

4. To Explore Its Great Connectivity Technology

The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 System has wireless smartphone connectivity functionality, so when you use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to connect your phone to the vehicle, you have access to a plethora of excellent features. You can use your voice to make hands-free phone calls while driving. You can access music from multiple streaming apps and listen via your car’s sound system. You can even have the system read out your texts.
