2016 Chevy Equinox Gaining Popularity in CUV Segment near Knoxville

Appeal of updated Equinox in the roominess, efficiency and features for Knoxville CUV

We all know the Chevrolet Silverado is popular; it’s one of Chevrolet’s best-selling vehicles. But what was No. 2 behind the Silverado might surprise you: the Chevrolet Equinox. Overall across the globe, the Equinox sold 25 percent more last month than in October 2014.

But why the jump in numbers? What can the new 2016 Chevrolet Equinox at West Chevrolet offer Tennessee families that make it such a popular choice?

The Kansas City Star called the 2016 Equinox a “quiet, comfortable, mild-mannered SUV.” However, Knoxville Chevrolet fans know that the Equinox is much, much more than that. For starters, the roominess is unmatched in its segment. This is thanks in part to the GM-exclusive MutliFlex sliding rear seat which can move approximately eight inches.

With this great feature, the back seat becomes comfortable and not just for someone who loses a game of rock-paper-scissors. This also accounts for more rear storage and makes it easier to add or remove car seats for infants and young children. A feature such as this puts the Equinox heads and shoulders above the segment challengers in terms of family convenience.



 The drivers and those who call shotgun won’t miss out on the Equinox’s roomy features. Both front seats in the Equinox are available with eight-way power seats, and the driver’s seat has lumbar adjustment and memory positions as well.

Under the hood, the 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine comes standard and gives up to 32 mpg on the highway (FWD), and the optional AWD Equinoxes still get up to 29 mpg on the highway. For those who want some more performance, the 3.6-L V6 is available for fun with up to 301 horsepower and towing of up to 3,500 pounds.

Optional safety features include Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Parking Assist. Changes on the exterior for 2016 include chrome-accented dual-port grille and projector-beam headlights.
