2015 Chevrolet Equinox LT

The 2015 Equinox is a compact crossover that slots between the Trax and the Traverse in Chevrolet's SUV lineup. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Ford Escape in the crowded compact SUV segment. The Equinox's ride is smooth and quiet, though acceleration can feel leisurely with the base engine. The rear seat slides fore and aft to balance passenger legroom with cargo space, a handy trick for families. Available features include a rearview camera, remote start, and MyLink infotainment with smartphone connectivity. The LT is the mid-range trim, sitting above the L and LS and below the LTZ, adding niceties like a leather-wrapped wheel and MyLink with a 7-inch touchscreen. With the 2.4L I4 making 182 horsepower and the all-wheel drive, this Equinox feels steady and secure in rain or light snow, and it returns 23 mpg combined.
