These features are standard in the Premier.Īs before, the 2018 Equinox is a two-row crossover offering room for five passengers. The LT trim does have access to the $1,995 Sun & Infotainment Package, which brings the 8.0-inch MyLink system, the panoramic roof, more 12-volt power outlets and USB ports, a 120-volt household power outlet, and dual-zone climate controls.

The L, LS, and LT trims all come with the same, ho-hum interior with the base, 7.0-inch MyLink infotainment system, plastic dash, single-zone HVAC, and base driver information screen. The Premier trim adds leather seats, along with padded leather trim on the dash and door panels.Īnd like the exterior, buyers must step up to the Premier trim to get most of the advertised and attractive features. The materials are a bit on the plasticky side, but aren’t poor. The dashboard layout is similar to the 2018 Volt, Malibu, and Cruze, but isn’t directly shared so it maintains a certain level of separation. The 2018 Chevy Equinox adopts a much more modern interior compared to the last generation. Even as a jaded journalist used to driving high-end products, I found myself deeply impressed by the 2018 Equinox. Chevy improved the ride, too, with a stiffer and lighter chassis, four-wheel independent suspension, and three engine choices that include a turbodiesel estimated to achieve 40 mpg highway. Available attractions include a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, six USB ports, wireless phone charging, heated and vented front seats, lane keep assist, forward collision alert, and a 360-degree camera system. The new, third generation Equinox gains fresh (though arguably bland) styling for 2018, along with a far more modern interior with tons of in-demand active safety and tech features. And having spent a week driving the all-new, 2018 Equinox, it’s clear Chevy sharpened its knife before redesigning this two-row crossover. That’s why the Equinox is so important for Chevrolet.
The competition is growing evermore fierce as automakers fight for consumer dollars as sales of sedans plummet and traditional body-on-frame SUVs crawl up-market toward the luxury segment. I don’t need to remind anyone just how explosive the crossover market is these days.
