An SUV of Choice for the Young, Savvy, and Sensational: Chevy's 2018 Equinox


If there is one group of car buyers that we feel we need to really stand up and take notice of for all their hard work, it is most definitely young professionals. We recognize that there are many out there in Memphis who are making important choices for your life after school, holding down numerous jobs, and getting the opportunity to display your burgeoning talents with every single stride you make. With very diverse and talented individuals on the hunt for the ultimate vehicle for their daily needs, Chevy has really upped the ante in the SUV category, and the newly redesigned Equinox is perfect for those who are constantly on the go.

There is space for 5 to fit comfortably, and the new design for the Equinox has the features and force to edge past the competition on all fronts. This is the best SUV on the market to rival competitors such as the Rav-4 and CR-V, with much attention in the engineering department allocated to making sure the most active type of driver has an engaging experience. For the type of driver that takes more than just the occasional long trip with the family, the state of Tennessee is one ideal location for anyone experiencing the most intense cases of wanderlust. The scenic areas towards the East by the Meeman Shelby Forest area provide some great days full of rock climbing, and opportunities to load up the Equinox full of friends and gear.

The lighter weight is one of the first traits that anyone driving the new Equinox will notice: 400 pounds have been shed from the SUV, and this tightens the all-important turning radius by 2.5 feet. Every single inch of the 63.5 cubic feet of space in the Equinox is utilized to its fullest potential, to assure that every needed person and last tool needed for whatever task is in front of you will be included on the trip. The 60/40 seat folding option allows much more open space for anything from a summertime outdoor picnic, to impromptu camping trips, or quick escapes from the metro to see the sunset in a more secluded locale.

The 1.5-liter turbo engine averages 30 miles per gallon on the highway, and if you are on the hunt for more muscle, the 2.0-liter doles out 252 hp, while the gas-consuming element is kept at an average of 24 mpg. For those who like to move around often, and do so with a certain amount of style, this is the ultimate budget-friendly vehicle, still offering the flair and safety features of those much higher up the chain for the price. The full selection of active safety tech on board included safety alert seat, forward collision warning with following distance indicator, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

For the times during the journey when the mile markers are not entertaining anymore and some on board entertainment is appropriate, the 7-inch touch screen is now standard, with an 8-inch available for those who want a bit more substance in their screen stance. Car and Driver claimed that the Equinox is “Expertly damped, with well-controlled wheel motions, and no sense of body float”. Every emerging young new professional's dream SUV is available for test drive right now here at Chuck Hutton: come visit us during the first kiss of summer, and check out the many ways it will meet, as well as surpass your driving expectations!
