2020 Vs. 2019 Chevrolet Equinox: Engine and Standard Features

The Chevrolet Equinox has continued its sales success, with Chevrolet's only compact crossover work done. Equinox has maintained its position as a modern, beautiful crossover with broader appeal. This is no small task, so additional updates, such as standard driver safety features, are meant to keep Equinox strong in the game. It offers more legroom in the rear seat, a higher power engine option, and can tow more than most of its competitors.

Almost three million vehicles have been sold in the United States alone, making the Equinox one of the best-selling vehicles in the Chevrolet model line. This iconic SUV returns for 2020, this time with new colors and a modern look. Below we have compared the 2020 Chevrolet Equinox and the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox available at our Chevrolet car dealership to highlight these SUV changes.

Engine and Performance

2020 Equinox

The 2020 Chevrolet Equinox has two engines available. Both are turbocharged 4-cylinders, and all equipment variants are equipped with front-wheel drive (FWD) as standard. All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional except for the base model for better traction on slippery surfaces. The standard model has a 1.5-liter turbo engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It makes 170 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque. Chevrolet Equinox towing capacity is 1,500 pounds for the base engine, which is typical of a compact SUV.

A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 260 pound-feet of torque and 252 horsepower is optional on top-of-the-line LT and Premier models only. This more significant, more muscular makes the Equinox feel sharper and is paired with a more refined 9-speed automatic transmission.
