"How To Buy A Used Chevy Equinox SUV
At Wholesale Prices!"

Particularly appealing features that have won strong praise include the Equinox's versatile interior. Its 60/40-split rear seat slides nearly 8 inches foreward and back and it has an adjustable rear cargo shelf that boosts storage possibilities while also able to serve as a picnic table.

Storage room is also generous with a cargo capacity of 35 cubic feet. And this can be expanded to a full 69 cubic feet by folding those rear seats. Its smooth drive and quiet cabin have also been noted as significant pluses.

The base LS model is already well-equipped and standard features include items such as full power accessories, air conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, 16 inch alloy wheels, a height-adjustable driver seat, an alarm system, a driver information center, automatic headlights, a rear window wiper and a 6-speaker CD stereo with a MP3 player jack.

The 1LT comes with 17 inch alloy wheels, foglights, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, upgraded cloth upholstery, faux wood accents, a rear center armrest, and a cargo net, while the 2LT adds the likes of remote start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power driver seat, automatic climate control and an upgraded audio system.

The uplevel LTZ then adds features such as a power liftgate, leather-trimmed upholstery, chrome exterior trim, heated front seats, an in-dash 6-disc CD changer and a Pioneer premium sound system.

The Sport model is equipped with the larger engine, a sport-tuned suspension with a lower ride height, 18 inch aluminum wheels, hydaulic power steering, unique exterior trim accents, sport bolstered front seats and special instrumentation. The Equinox Sport has a very quick 0 to 60 mph time of just under 7 seconds.

Used Chevy Equinox models can also be found with options such as a rear entertainment system, a sunroof and a hard-drive-based navigation system.

The Equinox has also earned excellent ratings in government crash tests, scoring perfect five-out-of-five stars in both frontal and side-impact protection for all occupants.

Some of the more significant changes over the years include the addition of antilock brakes (ABS) for 2006, standard stability control and four-wheel disc brakes and an optional navigation system for 2007, the introduction of the Sport and LTZ models for 2008, and standard satellite radio and curtain airbags as well as optional Bluetooth connectivity for 2009.
