The segment of compact crossovers is still seeing a steady incline in its sales record, while every year the number of models released in this category is increasing as well. In this oversaturated market, striving for existence isn’t a child’ play for any automaker. This is why the automakers keep refreshing their existing models with some new features added to them, which is expected to bring good sales returns. The Equinox is one such model in the family of compact crossovers that did survive well in this tough race, and is still attracting an even larger circle of crowd around itself, especially after the automaker has released its 2022 model year lineup, shared the famous Concord Chevrolet dealership.
What Will Be Special for the 2022 Model Year Edition?
For the 2022 model year release, Chevy has done some significant changes to the lineup of its flagship compact crossover model Equinox.

Exploring the Power Options
As mentioned above, all the models of the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover series now will receive a 1.5 liter turbo-4 engine making 170-hp. This engine will be coupled with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and build up the standard powertrain. With this powertrain, all the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox models will be able to render a smoother acceleration which can be felt more clearly during the highway merges and while driving through the uneven roads. The six-speed automatic gearbox also plays an important role in in this smooth drive operations while carrying and reaching the engine power either to the front wheels or to all four of them, following either the standard drivetrain configuration or the optional and upgraded one.
Ride Quality
Riding in any of the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox models which can accommodate four to five adult passengers with ease will always be comfortable and enjoyable. But it is not only the comfort of the spacious cabin and the well-cushioned seats, accompanied by several convenience features that make the rides on a 2022 Chevrolet Equinox model so pleasurable. It is also the outcome of the effective powertrain elements that deserve a note of praise. The said powertrain never lets the 2022 Chevrolet Equinox models get trapped in the tricks of unpaved surfaces. Rather the improved driving dynamics make the powertrain work up to the optimum level to bring out a satisfactory smile on the faces of its users, explained the popular Chevrolet dealer Concord.
