Looking for a Fun Yet Affordable Ride? Try the Chevy Equinox!
There’s no shame in sticking to a budget, even a tight budget when shopping for a vehicle. Cars, trucks, and SUVs can get expensive, and finding a good deal on a new vehicle is a top priority for all kinds of drivers for a variety of reasons. But just because you’re spending your hard-earned money wisely doesn’t mean you have to end up with a vehicle that’s all work and no play. Chevrolet has a great lineup of affordable vehicles that let you have some fun behind the wheel without spending an arm and a leg.
For example, we’re proud to offer the Chevy Equinox for sale here at Parks Chevrolet Spartanburg. This compact SUV won’t break the bank: for the 2024 model, the starting MSRP for the base LS trim is under $30k, and even the top-tier Premier trim starts at under $35k.[a] In between, the LT and RS trims each offer their own unique balance of included features and affordability. Whichever trim you choose, you’ll be getting a comfortable interior paired with impressive handling, making it easy to have a good time on the road, wherever you may be headed. Let’s dive in and see what, exactly, the Equinox has to offer, and why it may be just be the vehicle you’re looking for.
A Fun Ride, Especially With the Sporty RS Trim
Under the hood, the Equinox has a turbocharged engine that gives you the driving dynamics you need to enjoy your drive, wherever you’re headed. Standard front-wheel drive gives you an efficient ride, while available switchable all-wheel drive lets you send power to all four wheels when you need extra traction, like during a sudden downpour, making driving in the rain less worrisome and more enjoyable. If you want a sharper-looking trim, you can opt for the RS, which comes standard with larger wheels and tires, sporty black accents across the interior, and exclusive badging. It’s also the only trim available with a jet black interior with bold red accents, which really gives it a unique look that stands out in a sea of ordinary SUVs.
Plenty of Tech Onboard
Having a wide array of useful tech onboard can make driving more pleasant in all kinds of ways. The standard 7-inch touchscreen on the Equinox lets you stream audio via Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay, or wireless Android Auto, so you can pass time on the road by listening to music, audiobooks, podcasts, or radio shows. A larger 8-inch touchscreen is available on some trims. The driver information screen behind the steering wheel puts information like driving directions and safety warnings right in your natural line of sight so you can keep your eyes on the road and drive with confidence. Speaking of safety warnings, Chevy Safety Assist comes standard across the lineup, giving you tools that warn you about imminent dangers and perform automatic functions like braking in case of an emergency or turning your high beams off when oncoming traffic gets too close so you can stay aware of your surroundings and focus on the road ahead.
Interior Comforts Make Getting There Half the Fun
A comfortable interior can make or break a drive, especially a long drive. Luckily, the Equinox offers plenty of creature comforts, especially on higher trims, so you can stay cozy mile after mile. Active Noise Cancellation is standard across the lineup, so you can enjoy your audio entertainment or converse with your passengers instead of constantly being bothered by road noise, construction, or other unpleasant sounds. Cruise Control is standard, too, so you don’t have to keep your ankle stuck in just the right position on long drives down the highway.
Upgrade to any trim level above LS, including the affordable LT trim, and you’ll get extra luxuries like heated front seats, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, and Remote Start capability. The top-tier Premier trim adds even more standard features to the cabin. It comes with a heated steering wheel, a rearview mirror that dims automatically to keep distracting sunlight at bay, wireless charging for your phone, and a Memory Package that lets you save your seat and side view mirror settings so you can return to them at the push of a button.
A New 2024 Equinox Won’t Break the Bank
If you want to get a new SUV without breaking the bank, the Equinox is a great choice. A new 2024 Equinox LS has a starting price of just $26,600; upgrading to the nicer interior of the LT brings that up to $29,495, and getting the sporty touches of the RS brings the MSRP up to $30,950.[a] Even if you go straight to the top of the trim ladder and get the Premier, you’ll still be looking at a reasonable starting price of $31,800.[a] Since every trim offers great value for the features that it has to offer, you’ll be getting a great deal no matter which variant of the Equinox appeals to you.
