Basics About the 2022 Chevy Equinox
The Equinox was released for sale by Chevrolet in 2004. It was designed to replace several different SUVs manufactured by Chevrolet, including the Tracker, Trail Blazer, and Blazer. Its GM counterpart is the GMC Terrain.
New/Unique Features
The Equinox received a refresh this year. A new grille, different front and rear bumpers, and distinctive headlights are part of the redesign. Chevrolet added a new, sporty model with the RS. It has blacked-out trim and 19-inch wheels and includes nice touches like a unique shift knob and black upholstery with red stitching.
