2022 Chevy Equinox With Expected Summer Production Launch, Sleek RS Trim, Fresh Exterior Styling



Next summer will definitely bring about a heightened sense of anticipation, as many production delays will come to a halt and the incoming brand-new bowtie vehicles will proudly roll of the assembly lines! The 2022 Equinox will be one of the feature-rich incoming, officially confirmed on the GM Authority blog to enter the production phase next July. It was debuted at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show last February and comes with new exterior styling as well as the sporty RS trim level. 


The turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine offers up 170 horsepower, with the 2.0-Liter 4-cylinder cranking out 252 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The Equinox can tow up to 3500 pounds when properly equipped, and EPA ratings clock in with 26 mpg ratings in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. When equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and all-wheel drive, the Equinox nailed down 30 mpg during the Car and Driver testing crew's digital trot. The incoming Equinox model will be built at the GM CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, and is bound to remain a favorite among those who are on the hunt for a snug and well-made crossover. 


Not only does the new Equinox offer versatility and style: many of the industry's most heralded awards have stood up and drastically taken notice. The 2020 Car Seat Check Honor Roll rendered the Equinox as having the industry's “best in new car seats”, while Parents Magazine deemed it the “best car for teen drivers”. This publication that takes close note of how current offerings fare with those who just got their pavement privilege also voted the Equinox in as their “Best overall family car for 2020”. 



As the industry underwent a massive change during the events of 2020, GM took a close look at the ordering process and formulated a method that provides an intense focus on specific locations and which models prove to be the most popular. The new “VIN view” feature allows for dealers to locate vehicles such as the Equinox at other locations nationwide and closely pinpoint the progress of their transit. We are excited about the changes to the exterior for the 2022 model, as the Equinox receives a new front grille, a restyled lower fascia, new fog lamps, redesigned tail lamps, and a revised rear bumper. 


Possessing the best technology features are one of the key motivators when anyone in the market for a new vehicle makes their final decision, and the Equinox has a honed-in focus on providing these at the most reasonable price point. During times when you are on the drowsy side of driving or are on an unfamiliar stretch of interstate, the added reinforcement of safety features can provide the best sense of security and peace of mind. The Equinox offers lane keep assist with departure warning, a rear vision camera, following distance indicator, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, Intellibeam headlamps, and forward collision alert.
